Just because your budget is tight, doesn’t mean the gifts you give have to look or feel cheap. In fact, quite the contrary. On this list are bougie items that feel like pure luxury (think: silk eye masks, aromatherapy steamers, and more). And everything costs less than $25 — with many items even fall in the $5 to $10 price point.

1A Personalized Ceramic Tray That’s So Versatile

With its elevated base, monogrammed detail, and golden accents, this chic ceramic tray seems like it should cost more. Use it as a secure spot for jewelry, hair accessories, and other trinkets that you don’t want to lose track of. All letters are available in the listing.

2A Cashmere-Like Scarf That Comes In 8 Colors

This plaid scarf feels as soft, smooth, and warm as cashmere (though it’s actually made from acrylic), and it’s 78 inches long so you can wear it around your neck or even wrapped around your shoulders. It has a 4.7-star overall rating on Amazon, so it’s certainly worth adding to your wardrobe. Choose from eight colors in the listing.

3A Pen That Doubles As An Aromatherapy Diffuser

This diffuser pen writes like a regular pen — it has a ballpoint tip for smooth strokes and a comfortable grip — but at the same time, it releases a citrusy scent to awaken your senses. The scent is made without parabens, phthalates, or dyes. Other scents are available in the listing.

4Gorgeous Margarita Glasses For Any At-Home Bar

Your home bar just got chicer with the addition of these handblown margarita glasses. The shape has vintage vibes, while the ribbed texture makes them easier to hold. The set includes four glasses in blue, orange, green, and yellow shades. Highball and martini glasses are also available in the listing to complete your setup.

5A Luxuriously Silky Robe That’s Full Length

There’s just something about wrapping up in smooth, soft satin that feels like luxury. This long robe features flowy sleeves, a belted waistband (that’s removable), and inner ties to ensure it stays shut. This champagne color looks particularly high-end, but there are others in the listing.

6Aromatherapy Shower Steamers Made With Essential Oils

Plop one of these shower steamers in the base of your shower (out of the water stream), and the fragrance that’s released will help you unwind after a long day of work or play. The scents are created with essential oils — watermelon, grapefruit, menthol and eucalyptus, peony and pear, cacao and orange, and lemongrass and coconut all come in the set.

7A Chic Faux Leather Tote & Wristlet Set For Under $20

Less than $20 for a tote and wristlet? Both pieces are made from a pebbled faux leather material (that honestly looks like the real thing). The tote bag has a roomy interior to hold your wallet, water bottle, and more, while the wristlet can corral smaller items. Choose from a few colors in the listing.

8A Lidded Glass Mug Set With A Vintage Feel

Sip your matcha latte in style with these glass mugs. They’re covered in a hobnail pattern for a bit of texture, and the thick bamboo lids create a seal to keep your drink warmer for longer. “The glass cups have a vintage, classy, very elegant vibe. It's absolutely worth the price,” wrote one shopper. The set also comes with two spoons.

9An Adjustable Silk Sleep Mask To Protect Skin & Hair

Made from 100% mulberry silk, this sleep mask is comfortable to wear (and does a great job of blocking out light), but it also protects your skin and hair from dryness and damage. It’s adjustable in the back to fit well.

10Pretty & Practical Turkish Hand Towels In 30 Shades

While these hand towels are practical (absorbing water well and drying even faster), they also look pretty thanks to details like a herringbone design and tassels on the edges. There are 30 options to pick from in the listing, so they’ll match any kitchen or bathroom color scheme.

11A Ceramic Mug With A Special Warming Handle

The unique design of this 14-ounce ceramic mug’s handle will warm up your hand as you sip on your favorite drink — it’s a win-win. It’s made from durable ceramic with a glazed finish, it’s microwave- and dishwasher-safe.

14An Ornate Tray For Jewelry, Perfume & More

The golden ornate design on this mirrored tray makes it feel like an antique. But the reality is that it’s an Amazon find — and it costs just $15. It’s a good size, too — it measures 9.8 by 14.6 inches. Use it for jewelry, perfume, makeup, and more.

15Hoop Earrings That Can Be Worn 2 Ways

The coolest part about these gold earrings is that you can wear them as either a single hoop or attach a second loop to make them longer and more dangly. Reviewers confirm they’re lightweight. They’re plated in 14-karat gold to hold up well over time.

16A Satin Pillowcase, Eye Mask & Scrunchie Set

17Golden Under-Eye Masks Reviewers Say Are So Effective

Wear these golden under-eye masks for just 20 minutes to make your skin less puffy, smoother, and brighter overall. “I really see the difference when I wear these, they are effective,” wrote one commenter. The set includes 20 individually packaged pairs. Gift them as a set or spread the love between friends.

18The Comfiest Memory Foam Slippers

These fluffy faux fur slippers are a steal at under $15 considering they feature high-density memory foam that cushions your every step.

20A Reed Diffuser That Reviewers Love

“It smells so good much better than candles and last long I would wear this as a perfume if I could,” wrote one shopper about this reed diffuser that features a lemon, fennel, and green tea scent. The base is made from sturdy glass with a perfume bottle vibe. A few other scents are also available in the listing.

21Flat Hair Clips That Won’t Get In The Way

Unlike regular claw clips, these hair clips sit flat on your head to not get in the way while you sit back in a chair like while driving or working. The set includes six clips in neutral colors — including apricot, grey, light brown, khaki, dark brown, and black — and each one has eight claw teeth for a secure hold.

22A Small Speaker That’s Surprisingly Loud & Clear

This Bluetooth speaker may be small (comparable to a golf ball in its specs), but it sure puts out an impressively clear and loud sound. It can play music for 10-plus hours. And it has a waterproof design and metal body for durability.

23An Exfoliating Salt Scrub For Smoother, Softer Skin

Lined with a soft, squishy gel, these fluffy socks slowly release moisturizing ingredients (like shea butter, vitamin E, and argan oil) as you wear them — they’ll make your skin smooth and soft. It’s recommended to wear them overnight for best results. You can even pair them with lotion for deeper hydration.

This is the full-size tube, but smaller travel-size picks are available in the listing.

35A Modern Incense Holder With Brass Accents

Incense tends to make a mess and this glass holder is the solution. It positions the stick upside down so all of the ash collects in the bottom for disposal later on. Another plus? The holder looks super modern with its wooden base and brass accents. It also comes with 30 sticks of incense.

36Whimsical String Lights To Display Your Favorite Photos
