Gift Ideas For Under $50

Under fifty dollars is the hardest budget in gifting, because it is exactly where the tat lives. It is also where most of us are actually shopping: teachers, secret santa, the friend's birthday you remembered this morning, the thank you that needs to mean something without being awkward.

The trick is to buy one complete thing rather than a small version of a big thing. A candle that is genuinely good, not the travel size. A journal, whole and proper. A single beautiful object. Nothing that reads as a placeholder for a real present, because that is worse than turning up with wine.

Our gifts under $50 span candles and fragrance, journals and stationery, books, small homewares and body care. If you have a little more room, our gifts under $100 open up considerably.

What is a good teacher gift under $50?
Something useful they would not buy for themselves. A Wilde Road book of reminders, a Write To Me journal, an Ecoya car diffuser or a Calm Club card deck all feel like a proper present and suit the budget.

What can I give a new baby for under $50?
A Lily & George soft toy or comforter is hard to beat. Monty the Mammoth and Lorenzo the Sloth are 30cm plush toys, and Bowie the Zebra is a soft knit comforter sized for tiny hands.

Do you sell gift vouchers?
Yes. Flux Boutique gift vouchers can be redeemed in store or online and have no expiry, so they work for anyone whose taste you are not sure of, or for the person who likes to choose for themselves.

What is a good under $50 gift for someone who has everything?
Go for something they will use up. A Tasteology herb salt grinder, a perfume oil from The Perfume Oil Company or a Therapy hand and body wash from The Aromatherapy Co gets used and enjoyed rather than stored away.
