Five holiday gifts for under $25

With the holidays approaching, you may find yourself on a tighter budget than you’re used to. Don’t let that worry you, as there are many great gift ideas that you can buy to please everyone without breaking the bank.

Here are five gift ideas to consider that each cost $25 or less:

1. Fun Socks:

The last thing you would think you’d want to receive for the holidays is a pair of socks. However, a pair of fun printed socks can be just the thing for someone with unique style. Try a pair of shark socks. These blue and red socks have a picture of the animal with its mouth open. The socks are sure to bring humor and style to any outfit. The shark socks cost $10 and can be found at uncommongoods.com.

2. Face Mug:

This mug is by no means ordinary; it has a face and a large, open mouth where cookies or donuts can be stashed for safe keeping. The mug is especially helpful because you reduce the amount of dishes used for snacking while drinking. The face mug can be purchased for $18 on uncommongoods.com.

3. Moccasin Slippers:

These slippers make it easy to lounge around and relieve your feet from stress. These warm, faux fur-lined slippers are essential for the winter season. Moccasin slippers are soft, comfortable and most importantly inexpensive. You can purchase a pair of the moccasin slippers at Target for $19.99.

4. Mini Waffle Maker:

The Dash Red Mini Waffle Maker is ideal for making your favorite breakfast food. It can cook one waffle at a time in about two and a half minutes. The waffle maker is simple to use and easy to maintain. The width and diameter are a little more than four inches, which makes it easy to store. Even though the waffles come out big, this device is convenient for making a quick breakfast or snack. You can buy this waffle maker from Crate & Barrel for just $11.99.

5. Popcorn Sampler:

The Gold Sampler can be purchased for $25 from the Popcorn Factory and it is worth it. The sampler is filled with great treats including: cheese, popcorn drizzled with caramel, popcorn with pepper and salt, chocolate chip cookies, honey roasted peanuts, fruit candy, sour stars and Fanny May Pixies (chocolates filled with caramel and nuts). As you can tell, the Popcorn Factory does not just sell regular popcorn. The Popcorn Factory is known as the “popcorn authority,” and there is no doubt about that given all you can get in the Gold Sampler.

Perhaps you have someone on your shopping list who never really tells you what he or she wants. These five gifts are fun, yet practical, and should be a hit with anybody.
