From $5 to $5,000, Here Are The 100 Best Gifts For Every Budget
If there’s one repetitive Christmas song we always vibe with, it’s Eartha Kitt crooning off her wish list to Santa. From a yacht to Tiffany jewels and a ’54 convertible too, light blue, the girl knew how to reach for the stars. We’d imagine our own friends’ and family’s wish lists aren’t too dissimilar. Alas, most of us aren’t able to drop fantasy-gift level cash on every one of our giftees. But just because a $2,500 Peloton might be out of the question doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of remarkable and thoughtful gifts that will match your budget.Holiday shopping is far from a one-size-fits-all task. Yeah, yeah, gift-giving should be less about the gift itself and more about the thought behind it. But at the end of the day, creating a realistic present-buying budget is vital to your sanity, and shopping within tight budget constraints isn’t always a simple task. So ahead, we offer a more creative solution. May we present to you the everyday man’s more achievable holiday catalog. One that offers the best gift ideas your money (literally) can buy. Whether you’re navigating the waters of shopping for a co-worker you’re comfortable gossiping with, but not comfortable spending more than $25 on, or a significant other you’re willing to donate your upcoming holiday bonus towards, look no further. Click on to shop our top 100 gifts for each and every budget.At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff.
