It’s the most wonderful (or stressful!) time of the year, and that means it’s time for gift giving and–by extension–long shopping lists. You can seriously spend hours online or in stores finding gifts for the teachers, friends, and loved ones in your life, and holiday shopping on a budget is another monster entirely. Budget-friendly items have a bad rap of being throwaway gifts that never get used. And let’s be honest, sometimes they really are.
Contrary to popular belief, you can buy thoughtful gifts without breaking the bank. From beautiful hand-painted ornaments to practical items like an adjustable silk sleep mask, this list is full of unique holiday gifts under $50 that people will actually love.
