It's the most wonderful time of year! The holidays are about much more than gifts. However, gift giving can be a fun way to show your appreciation to your loved ones. Christmas and the holiday season in general is expensive. That's why I have put together a list of affordable Christmas gift ideas all under $50 USD. These will save you money and time when you're stuck thinking of options for those who are seemingly impossible to shop for. Everything on this list could work for him, her, and everyone!
Stanley Tumbler
If you're looking for a quality gift that can be used daily, a Stanley tumbler is the perfect option. It holds a firm spot on my affordable Christmas gift ideas list. These tumblers all come in many colors and have the ability to hold hot or cold drinks. The classic 40oz Quencher is my personal favorite. For those not wanting to lug around 40oz, there is a 30oz Quencher, 20oz Quencher, and 14oz Quencher. If you're looking for a classic travel coffee mug, the 20oz Travel Mug is the perfect option.
Framed Picture
A framed picture is one of my go-to gifts and always makes its way onto my affordable Christmas gift ideas list. I love giving gifts that have personal meaning behind them, and this is the perfect way. I've linked a few frames above that can easily match any style room as they come in multiple colors and finishes.
Record Player and/or Vinyl
Vinyl Record Player | "Cleopatra by The Lumineers" Vinyl Record | "Father of the Bride by Vampire Weekend" Vinyl Record
Music offers a genre for everyone, which makes vinyl records one of the best affordable Christmas gift ideas. I've linked a few of my personal favorite vinyl records above, but everyone has different music preferences so the options are unlimited! For those on your list who do not already own a record player I have linked one above under $50 USD. If you're looking to gift the record player and want to stay under $50 USD total for the player and vinyl, thrift stores typically carry hundreds of vinyl records under $5 USD, which would keep you in budget.
Belt Bag or Wallet
I use my Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag every single day. It holds my phone, wallet, keys, chapstick, essential oil, medication for my migraines, and then some. I use my black one in the fall and winter and my pink one in the spring and summer, and both have held up to multiple seasons while still looking brand new. It comes in tons of colors and can be worn multiple ways, so it's a great option for all of the women in your life (and men who are a fan of fanny packs). For the men and women who aren't into carrying a bag, I've linked a quality Carhartt Wallet that is perfect for the "pockets only" travelers in your life.
Book, Bible, and/or Journal
"Where the Crawdads Sing" Coming of Age / Mystery Novel | "The Last Thing He Told Me" Thriller / Suspense Novel | "People We Meet On Vacation" Romance Novel | Study Bible | Daily 6 Minute Journal
Books, bibles, and journals make wonderful affordable Christmas gift ideas for everyone you plan to shop for this holiday season. All three of these items can be used daily, which means they're gifts that won't go to waste. In the busy world we live in, taking even just a few moments daily to sit down and read, pray, and/or journal can be very peaceful and healing. I've linked a few best selling fictional books that I've personally read and enjoyed, my favorite study Bible, and a daily journal above.
Blanket
Blankets are a classic gift, and for good reason! Who doesn't love to cozy up under a warm blanket, especially on a cold winter evening? You really can't go wrong adding this to your affordable Christmas gift ideas list. I've linked a regular throw blanket and a heated blanket above, both of which comes in tons of colors.
Neck and Back Massager
This next item is one that would be appreciated by many. It is a neck and back massager that is travel friendly with an included car adapter. For those who work an in-office desk job, having the option to utilize this in their car during a break could be a great afternoon pick-me-up. It's also wonderful for evenings at home or even mornings before the hustle of the day begins. It comes in black or white and even includes a handy travel bag.
Beanie Hat and / or Scarf
The holiday season brings chilly weather, so beanies and scarves help to stay warm throughout the cold months ahead. Everyone will benefit from these and be able to use them often, which makes it a very useful gift. I've linked a feminine hat and scarf as well as a masculine hat and scarf, which all come in multiple colors so that there is an option that matches everyone's style.
