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.
