Looking for gifts for under $20? I’ve got you! This list is GREAT for all the ‘little gifts’ that are nice to gift for the holiday season – think:
- gifts for delivery people
- gifts for cleaning staff
- gifts for coworkers
- gifts for hostesses
- gifts for neighbors
- gifts for friends
- gifts for stylists
Everything is useful & thoughtful – and under $20!
When gifting something on a strict budget, I try to stick with something that can be consumed or used often – no one wants a $20 trinket they’ll never use.
It’s also often easier on you to buy multiples of the same thing and gift it to multiple people (less shopping, less thinking, yay!). The holidays are also simplified when you gift the same thing every year – it then becomes your ‘signature gift’ which is fun and becomes expected and feels like tradition.
You could easily add a gift card to any of the gifts below to add a little extra!
And many of the under $20 gift ideas below can be gifted with something else to make the gift more personal – for example, you could add a block of nice cheese with the cheese knife. Or a bottle of wine with the canvas bags. Or a candle with the matches or USB lighter.
