Here comes the shopping train. And I get it, sometimes there are people that are just plain hard to shop for. So I’ve compiled a list of 19 unique gifts, all coming in under $15. As long as you’re not shopping for 100 (you’re not, right?) these special gifts will delight the recipient without emptying your bank account. I did the searching so you don’t have to. You’re welcome!
For Adults
Wine Bottle Accessory Kit (in a wine bottle shaped box!)
All the accessories they need to break into their favorite bottle of vino. The set includes a cork screw, foil cutter, bottle stopper, drip ring and wine pourer. It comes in a clever magnetic hinged box shaped like a wine bottle itself.
Moon Lamp
A charming lamp that will let your dear one bask in the light of the moon whenever they want. It’s got an LED switch that allows for the light to change from lunar white to a soft yellow, depending on the desired mood. Moon mood. It comes situated on a classy wooden base that doesn’t detract from the realistic surface appearance of the lamp proper.
Corgi Butt Travel Bag
Guess what? Corgi butt! Funny and adorable, this travel bag shows off the booty of mention on the backside. Ha ha ha the backside, get it? Ahem. It’s just the right size for toiletries or makeup, or it’s also a great size to contain stationary and writing utensils.
Human Sunshine Glass Heart
This one’s for that person in your life who radiates joy wherever they go, and brightens your day just by being near you. I do hope you have at least one person like that in your life. It’s pretty and classy, and shows appreciation for the sunshine brought into your life.
Walking Dead Coffee Mug
This one’s for the person on the other end of the spectrum from the above. Well maybe. Could be the same person. But it’s really ideal for that person you know who wishes it were Halloween all year round. The lover of the the creepy and the macabre. This “bloody” mug transforms into a spooky looming ghostlike image when hot liquid is added inside. And if spooky isn’t your thing (or theirs), there are other variations including a recharging battery and constellations with the presence of heat.
Cat Socks
We love these socks! They are fluffy and warm. But the best part? They look just like kitty paws, complete with little paw pads on the bottom. They are the most adorable socks I’ve ever encountered. Perfect for a cat lover. But if doggo is more their speed, there are also Dog Socks. Those are more realistic looking paws and legs. Funny and unique. But in case normal critters aren’t your recipients speed, behold the Monster Socks. Also fuzzy, they’ve got different monster faces on them, some with little ears on top.
Coffee Warmer for Desk
I love this. I use mine every day. I give these to everyone I know. Because they’re not just for coffee, but also great for keeping their cuppa tea from cooling off. And keeping their hot chocolate well… piping hot. Not too big, it fits perfectly on a work desk or a side table.
Cheese Board Knives
Classy and practical! These cheese board knives are perfect for the cheese-loving fan in your life. This particular brand comes in either oak or acacia handles. Or! If you’ve got a little more budget than $15, this Bamboo Cheeseboard, has the knives provided in a slide out drawer.
Food Decision Dice
Do you know someone who can never decide what’s for dinner? Do you have a TTRPG person in your life who is maybe a little too dependent on their dice? This is the perfect gift for these people. It’s funny and yet somehow practical. So when they hit decision fatigue at the end of the day, no more trying to decide on dinner. Just roll and go. (And no, I won’t say a word when you grab another for yourself.)
Shower Steamers
This gift is perfect for the DIY spa experience. Great for someone who needs to relax, but can’t afford a day at the spa. Also ideal for someone who only has a shower in their residence (or objects to bathtubs). Just drop the aromatherapy pod on the shower floor and let the steam release the fragrance.
For Kids
Kids Against Maturity
This is the kid friendly version of that adult game. Clean and family friendly and full of silly and gross humor. It’s become a family favorite with everyone young and old. This Let’s Go Edition is a smaller, travel friendly version of the game so it can go wherever you do, over the river, through the woods, or even Grandma’s house.
Card Deck Stand
This pairs great with any card game for children. Small hands struggle to hold cards where they’re visible. These deck stands hold the cards upright where they can be seen, minus the struggle to wrangle them. No more dropping, or accidentally revealing! Another great hit with the family.
Dinosaur Chicken Nugget Pillows
Is there anything a child loves more than dinosaurs? Unless it’s their nuggies. Well now they can have both in a cute plush pillow. In the shaped chicken nugget theme, there’s a Brontosaurus, Stegosaurus, and a T-Rex. This brand also carries other fun food plushies including bananas, donuts, pears and cantaloupe.
Pin Art Fidget Board
I know these have been around a while, but there’s a whole new generation coming up that needs the thrill of shaping little bits of metal into hands or other pictures.
For Everyone
Tortilla Blanket
Ever roll yourself up in a blanket burrito? Well now you can really burrito yourself. This tortilla printed blanket is big enough to wrap yourself in, and it’s remarkably soft to boot. And just think of the possibilities or rolling your own purrito. If your cat will tolerate it, of course. Oh right, this is a gift guide. Get one for someone else too. Don’t be stingy! Have a pizza fan in your life? Check out the Pizza Blanket instead.
Shadow Box for Tickets
A great way for friends and family to save their memories. The slot allows for easy storage of ticket stubs from vacations, rides, or the theater, movies and orchestra. This one clocks in under $15, but the Drop Tickets Here version still comes in under $20 and this one for Memories is just at $24.
Silicone Microwave Mats
I know, it seems like a strange recommendation, but Trust Me. Anyone who receives these mats will absolutely thank you down the road. We all need them. If you’ve ever went to grab a dish or a mug out of the microwave and nearly seared your fingers clean off… these mats will save you from suffering that painful fate ever again. They can be left in the microwave while you’re heating your food, then used to lift the item out. They also function as a great counter-protecting trivet outside of the microwave. Show them you care, protect their hands against microwave burning. (And grab yourself some while you’re at it.)
DASH Mini Waffle Maker
Who doesn’t love waffles? Okay maybe a few people. But this mini waffle iron is sure to put a smile on your recipient’s face. Couple it with a box of pancake mix and a bottle of syrup if you’ve got the funds for a truly thoughtful gift. And don’t forget, they can cook other things in there too, including cinnamon rolls, biscuits, and cornbread. The DASH brand comes in several different colors and patterns. So even if red clashes, there’s other options to choose from.
Welcome to the Gameroom Metal Poster
Before you think this belongs in the kids section, I know. I know some of you are gamers yourself. I’m one too! This particular poster is made of metal rather than paper, so it’s far less likely to get torn and ruined when a controller goes flying across the room in a fit of rage. Just sayin’… I know.
Now that all your Christmas shopping is done, what are you gonna do now? Hopefully it’s snuggling in to your new tortilla blanket. Leave me a comment and let me know which of these was your favorite!
Love, Momma
