10 Christmas Inexpensive Gifts Under $50

When it comes to picking out inexpensive Christmas gifts, you want them to appear thoughtful and not make your recipient think that they’re getting lame, cheap Christmas gifts. The gift you give reflects on you, so you should aim to choose gifts that will make people smile – meaning they sincerely enjoy what they receive.

Here are some good suggestions:

Candle Set – Lots of great choices when it comes to finding discount candle gifts, like aromatherapy candles, Feng Shui candles, holiday candles, baked good shaped candles, and many more unique combinations.

Stationery or Note Cards – every once in a while it’s nice to send someone a handwritten note and a plain piece of paper just won’t do. The holidays are a great time to find cheap stationery. There’s an endless variety of colorful stationery that ranges from traditional flowery to pop culture chic.

Travel Pillow – Most everyone travels from here to there and usually that means sitting for long periods of time in a car, train or plain. A contour travel pillow that can be placed around the neck will make the trip a lot more comfortable.

Personal Scrapbook – Make a special scrapbook that reflects your recipient’s life in some way. Scrapbooks are easy and lots of fun to put together. You’ll find tons of scrapbooking supplies at your local craft supply store. There’s also printable scrapbook paper that you can download easily. Try to find a digital photo of the person that you can incorporate into the pages.

Snazzy Men’s Tie – This is a more traditional gift, but if there’s a man in your life who loves ties, then this is a no-brainer. There are lots of cool looking cheap mens ties in a variety of colors, shades and patterns. You can find a designer tie that is a great look for the office or a silk tie that is more high fashion. Maybe they’ll get a kick out of a novelty tie (make sure before you give).

CD Box Sets – From Beethoven to the Beach Boys, there’s a CD Box set that will please any music fans. You need to know something about your recipient’s taste in music in order to make the best choice. Even if they have a large music collection, nobody has everything. Look for unique sets or compilations.

Yoga Mat and Exercise DVD – For those who enjoy working out at home, yoga is the perfect relaxation and easy-going body strengthening exercise. There are lots of inexpensive DVD that teach yoga movement. Eco friendly yoga mats are a thoughtful way to support the environment.

Sterling Silver Pendant Necklace – A sterling silver pendant necklace is a lovely gift that will be enjoyed for years to come. There are many designs to choose from, like the heart pendant, cross pendant, flower pendant, butterfly pendant, snowflake pendant and gemstone pendant.

Cologne or Perfume – Scentastic scents are always popular during the holidays. If you know your recipient’s favorite scent then give them what they love. If you don’t know, then go with something light. If you’re clueless about what to choose, ask around about what’s popular right now.

Photo Coffee Table Book – A coffee table book is always a conversation piece. There are photo books featuring art, food, celebrities, animals, people of different cultures, moments in history, fashion and more.
