If you’re like me, you’re a last minute, gift-buying procrastinator who wishes to magically find the perfect gift for a total steal. I’m always looking for a gift that’s affordable (aka under $50 or less) and is something my bestie, mom, or hard-to-shop-for cousin will love. It’s not easy, but don’t worry – it’s not impossible!
I’ve been pulling together a few gift guides (check out this one for the wellness lover or homebody), but this one of gifts that are $50 or less is probably my favorite. When you can’t spend a ton of money, but you want to impress your friends and family, try one of these thoughtful gifts she’ll love below! 
1. Diptyque Candle / 2. Jewelry Travel Case / 3. Tory Burch Rollerball Perfume / 4. Barbour Pom Pom Hat / 5. Kate Space Bracelet / 6. Swell Water Bottle / 7. Sugarfina Gummies Set / 8. Pink Beret / 9. Indie Lee Beauty Set / 10. Herbivore Beauty Set / 11. Striped Scarf / 12. Fuzzy Slippers / 13. Gold Rimmed Wine Glass (Set of 4) / 14. Bobby Brown Lip Gloss / 15. Celestial Earrings / 16. Pearl Ring / Sweet Dreams PJs
While I love all these gifts, a few of my favorites are below!
Sweet Dream PJ’s ($47!): These look super luxe and I love the classic piping that’s chic and cozy. I recently discovered how much I love sleeping in PJ sets (they make you feel fancy, even when you’re sleeping) and this pair would make for the perfect gift for your favorite girlfriend.
Stars and Moon Earrings ($22): I’ve been loving anything with stars these days, and these stars and moon hoop earrings are the prettiest. They’re the perfect size and are definitely unique enough that you’re sure to get compliments (whether you buy them for yourself or for a friend!)
Barbour Pom Pom Hat ($49): Barbour is always known for being a high-quality, warm and cozy – and I love that this chunky beanie is cute and under $50! It even has ribbed fold over cuffs if you need some extra warmth over your ears. If you’re a Chicagoan, this is the perfect gifts for family and friends who have extra chilly winters!
Indie Lee Gift Set ($29): I love Indie Lee, a cult-favorite green beauty brand that creates powerful products without the nasties or testing on animals. This gift set is made to tone, hydrate and improve the appearance of your skin’s texture – and the fact that it’s full of minis lets you try it before splurging on the full size products. I’m planning to buy this for my mom who’s looking to get into more green beauty products too!
Gold Rimmed Glasses ($45): I’m always wondering if it’s wine o-clock (my days are long, don’t blame me!) and celebrating a long day at work just seems so much more stylish with gold bummed wine glasses. These come in a set of 4, and are perfect for your friend or sister who’s a resident wine-o like me!
