Shopping for gifts is already stressful enough, but it’s much more nerve-racking when you’re working with a strict budget. It’s truly the thought that counts at the end of the day, but it can be hard to find something meaningful and special when you’re counting your coins. Last year, Investopedia estimated that the average America would spend $998 on holiday gifts — so clearly, many of Us are shelling out big bucks to begin with. That said, many people lack the time to hunt for hours to find an affordable gift that doesn’t look or feel inexpensive — which is why we’re here to help!
You would be surprised with how many great gifts you can find for under $50, but look far more expensive at the same time. We discovered a ton of different options that any woman in your life will adore — ranging from skincare, to beauty and some stellar home products. If you have a birthday party coming up or another type of celebration, these gifts below will surely impress even the pickiest consumer!
