51 Inexpensive Holiday Gifts for 2021

51 Inexpensive Holiday Gifts for 2021

Posted on November 14, 2021November 14, 2021


Khadija Horton

If you’re anything like me, holiday time might mean headaches and an unhappy wallet. (We keep it relatable, folks!) Seeing as though a single tub of moisturizer or pair of boots can easily cost upwards of a hundred bucks, most of the items on pretty much anyone’s wishlist aren’t usually budget-friendly gifts under $30.

If you’re shopping for someone who loves nice things (because, like, who doesn’t?!), but you don’t have a ton of extra money to blow on presents (because, like, who does?!), we gotchu! It’s hard to shop for all the loved ones in your life when you’ve got a lot of them and not a lot of $$$, but it can absolutely be done—and these gift ideas are proof of that.

Your gifts can and will look expensive on the cheap. We have scoured the internet for the best gift ideas and only included the ones that cost a reasonable price but looked like they were worth way more than they are. Whether you’re searching for gifts for your mom, gifts for your sister, or gifts for your best friend, we’ve found the 51 best inexpensive gifts for 2021 that don’t feel at all dinky. Now scroll ahead and get to shopping already. For anyone who’s a self-identified (or in-denial) procrastinator, though, make sure you get ahead of the shipping delays we’re expecting this year! Having to pay extra cash for last-minute delivery (that may or may not even arrive on time) kinda defeats the purpose of all these cool, inexpensive prezzies.

this sculptural mug

Muse Gala Porcelain Mug

If unique home decor pieces have been taking over your IG feed this year, you know a lot of them simply ain’t cheap (!!). So, if you’re like me and still want the goods but can’t justify the price tags, you have to get a little creative. This Jonathan Adler mug looks way more ~luxe~ than its $24 price and gets the *aesthetic* just right. The recipient of this gift is def going to think you spent a whole lot more than you did.

2

these gold hoops

Gretchen Hoops

Trust me when I say, you can never have too many gold hoops. Take it from someone who seems to have a million hoops, but never any that match. Gift this pair to your BFF or sis, they’ll thank you later. 

3

this makeup mirror

Magnifying Makeup Mirror With Lights

One of the biggest discoveries of my adult life is how unnecessarily expensive mirrors are, but not this one. Not only does it have solid ratings on Amazon, but it’s also portable, can light up, and has a suction cup so you can move it around how you need it.

4

This Puffy Shopper

Lined Shopper

Shopper bags have made a comeback, and I, for one, am here for it. This H&M bag is cozy, chic, and under $30. Plus, what’s more Christmas than something this fuzzy and fluffy?

5

this wine aerator

Rabbit Wine Aerator and Pourer, 1.1 x 1.1 x 5.2 inches, Clear/Stainless Steel

If you know someone who loves their cheap boxed wine, get them this aerator to make it taste just like the expensive stuff.

6

this succulent in a box

Jewel Garden Succulent Plant

Why give them flowers when you could gift them the cutest little succulent? Each succulent is locally grown and hand planted in Los Angeles. The best part? These plants require minimal care, so they’re super hard to kill. (That includes even the most forgetful of people.)

7

this statement hat

Felt Fedora Hat

Embrace winter neutrals with this pretty beige fedora hat. Typically, hats like this will cost ya a pretty penny, but for just under 30 bucks, you can gift your fashionista friend this one that looks like it’s worth a lot more. 

8

this coffee cup warmer

Mug Warmer

If a fancy schmancy self-heating coffee mug isn’t in the budget, this mug heating pad is the next best thing.

9

These Hilar Cards

Better-Than-Another-Seasons-Greetings Cards

One of the most inexpensive gift options out there? A funny card. And if you wanna add $5 or so for someone to grab a coffee, you can do that too.

10

this catchall tray

Ceramic Catchall Tray

If someone doesn’t gift you this ceramic catchall tray for the holidays, get it for yourself with your initial on it. At such a good price, you might as well treat yourself, too.

11

these fuzzy socks

Cozy Chenille Sock

Does it get any softer than these plush socks? No, no it does not. And when it comes to inexpensive gifts, it doesn’t get any better than this, either.

12

this mini flat iron

Mini Healthy Heat Ceramic Styling Iron + Bag

You’ll ask yourself how you ever lived without a mini straightener once you have one. This one is the perfect size to slip right in your handbag, and with 100 percent ceramic plates, it doesn’t skimp on quality.

13

this mini fridge

Mini Fridge Electric Cooler and Warmer

Whether they love to have snacks at the ready or need a cool place to store their beauty products, this mini fridge will definitely get use.

14

this handy keychain

Door Opener — Rose Gold

They’ll be so glad they have this cute and clever keychain when it comes time to press any button or open any door in public without actually touching anything.  

15

This designer dupe

The Alpha Throw: On Repeat

OK, $78 is not friendly on the wallet, I’ll admit it. However, and I emphasize, however, this customizable blanket has ~quite~ a similar vibe as its more expensive cousin. *Cough cough Hermès, who?!*

16

these reusable makeup wipes

The Original Mini MakeUp Eraser

If you know someone who just can’t kick their makeup wipe habit (as they should!!), replace their disposable pack with these reusable wipes that easily remove every trace of makeup.

17

this coffee table book

Art: The Definitive Visual Guide Coffee Table Book

Colorful coffee table books are trending, but they always seem to cost a fortune. Well, my friend, say hello to this equally colorful, equally fun option — oh, and did I forget to mention it’s almost half the price?

18

these cocktail cubes

Luxe Bubbles Citrus Mimosa Sugar Cube Set

Take your pick between arcadia orange, grapefruit, or lemon flavored mimosa, then toss one of these sugar cubes in a glass for an instant cocktail. All that’s left to do is add the alcohol!

19

this shimmery body scrub

Shimmer Scrub

This shimmery body scrub will leave the prettiest glow behind, and the sugar, salt, and coffee grinds will remove anything that dulls their sparkle.

20

this luxe glitter gloss

LUST: Lip Gloss

Pat McGrath makeup does not run cheap. But, you can join in on the fun at a more affordable price with this gold glitter gloss. Heck, even Emily Ratajkowski agrees, considering it’s one of her faves.

21

this stackable ring

Hammered Gold Ring, Skinny Stacking Ring

A 14k gold-fill ring for $15 sounds like a myth, but I’m here to tell you it’s true, and it’s right here. Get a couple of ’em if you like the stacked look, or keep it dainty and simple with just one.

22

these green hoops

Green 2-pack Hoop Earrings

Resin jewelry is a top trend at the moment. If your gift recipient likes a pop of color, consider these green cuties for just under 10 bucks.

23

this jade gua sha

Jade Gua Sha

If you inhabited the TikTok space last year, you likely know what a gua sha is. In case you missed out, a gua sha is a traditional technique used in Chinese medicine that involves rubbing the skin with a stone to improve circulation—giving a more defined and glowy look. AKA, the ultimate self-care gift. 

24

A mini flower waffle maker

Mini Waffle Maker

Editor’s note: This waffle maker is my ultimate must-have. Chances are if we’ve met, I tried to convince you to buy one of your own. My mom gifted me this very waffle maker on Christmas of 2020, and I probably use it 5-7 days a week. So, obvs you need to give this to someone special in your life. Take it from me.

25

this fun puzzle

Disco Queen

I think I did over a hundred puzzles in the past year and a half, so I’ve developed quite an affinity for them. If your gift recipient hasn’t got sick of ’em yet, this adorable disco puzzle could be just the thing to snag for them. 

26

This laptop sleeve

Baby Blue Retro Flowers Laptop Sleeve

If you’re anything like me, you drop *everything*. And that, unfortunately, my friends, includes my laptop. If you have somebody on your list that’s just as clumsy, consider buying this cute baby blue retro flower laptop sleeve.

27

this fun cookbook

If you know someone with a serious sweet tooth but not the baking skills to back it up, get them this cookbook full of no-bake recipes—and throw in a cheap ice tray to go with it!

28

A hair comb this pretty is functional and makes for fancy decor when you display it. A two-for-one deal!

29

this tie-dye flask

Liquor Canteen 8oz | Tie-Dye Swirl (Aqua)

I’ll be honest, I don’t know if I’ve ever used a flask before, but that’s probably because I’ve never owned one that was as cool as this  insulated one with a tie-dye silicone cover.

30

this silk pillowcase

100% Mulberry Silk Pillowcase

There’s no denying the greatness of silk pillowcases for your skin and hair, but they’re not so great on your wallet. However, Target comes in clutch, offering this 100% mulberry silk pillowcase at a fraction of the cost of others.

this toiletry bag

Hanging Toiletry Bag

Does the person you’re shopping for love to travel? Then they need this toiletry bag that converts into convenient hanging storage. You’ll love it because it’s an inexpensive gift, and they’ll love it because they won’t have to unpack all their products to be able to see everything.

36

this orange print

The artist behind this fun orange print creates a ton of really sleek and minimalistic pieces that are all available on her Etsy page, Love Mezay. Starting at only $10, you can download and print this image out. Present it with a cheap frame, like this one from Amazon, wrap it up real cute, and you’ve got yourself a pretty adorable gift on the low low. P.S. If you’re not up for framing it yourself, this print is also available as a poster for between $31-$57 or as a canvas for between $70-$150.

40

these workout bands
