One of the easiest things to do during the holidays is spend too much money. It happens to many of us, even when we swear that things are going to be different this year. We want to help you stay true to your intentions to save money when possible, and we’re doing that with a gift guide focused on products that cost no more than $50. We’ve already posted a guide to the best gifts under $100, but you might be surprised how many good gifts can be purchased for half the amount.
You can delight a lucky recipient who’s looking for a quirky addition to their home with an heirloom tomato beeswax candle. Or present a set of rechargeable hand warmers to a friend or family member who’s chronically chilly. If your recipient needs a convenient place to put their phone while they cook or do dishes, this Peak Design MagSafe mount is a nice, cheap gift. We have several other gift ideas that’ll help them live their best lives, and you won’t have to spend dearly to make it possible.
