A gift doesn’t have to have a high price tag to be considered a “good” gift. Something small and affordable can be thoughtful and meaningful!
With rising prices, finding a budget-friendly gift can be a bit complicated. So I wanted to lend a helping hand by putting together a list of affordable holiday gifts for $25 and under that won’t break the bank. Take a look and let me know what you think!

Budget-Friendly Beauty Gifts
Pamper your closest pal with these beauty gifts for the holidays.
I’m a little biased… but I think these Just Jill lip balms by Mad Gabs are the best! These ones have a vanilla mint flavor to them and they’re nourishing without feeling greasy. Mad Gabs also makes a set of Moose Smooch lip balm set for just $22!
(The pic above includes our holiday balms, which are a little over $25, but they’re lovely!)
While we’re on the topic of lips, this duo by Charlotte Tilbury looks lovely. Always nice to have a liner and lipstick duo in one set!
These Doll 10 Peptide Bounce Balm Lip Treatments are so wonderful, you’ll wonder how you lived without them! We carry a juicy strawberry and a juicy coconut, and they’re both fantastic for everyday wear.
I’m guilty of keeping brushes around for longer than I should. And if you have a friend who needs a brush upgrade, this brush set from Ulta is a great choice. It comes with five brushes designed for applying eye makeup so they can nail that perfect makeup look!
This hand lotion trio will save your hands from that dry, winter air. Made with moisturizing essential oils, they’ll keep your skin hydrated all day!
Whether they prefer a bath or a shower, you can upgrade their routine with relaxing (and super fun!) shower steamers I found at Walmart.
Don’t forget the body butter! Because we all know how this winter weather can wreak havoc on our skin… and this one by Sol De Janeiro is a firming body butter, too!
Heads up! This brand is super popular (especially for teens and young girls). If you snag one, I’m sure they’ll love it!
If you’re a fan of feminine scents, try this discovery set of fragrances from Kayali. It includes eight mini perfume bottles to help you find a scent that fits YOU! They’re also ideal for the person who likes to swap personal fragrances throughout the year.
My favorite MAC lipstick comes in SO many colors… making it a great gift! It has a satin texture so it’s not matte but not super glossy, and I love how smoothly it goes on.
Money Saving Style Finds
Spruce up their wardrobe with these stylish finds for everyone on your list.
This Gratitude Blessing Bracelet from My Saint My Hero is a reminder that your life has meaning. The world is a better place with you in it! So if you know someone that could use this message, this bracelet will be a meaningful gift to unwrap.
The chilly weather is here! And if you want to feel warm without sacrificing style, take a peek at this satin-lined knit beanie. It comes in a few colors and I love the sweet little pom-pom on the top!
Pair the hat with this super cozy winter scarf. It features a striped pattern and texture that won’t go out of style. So comfortable!
If you have a younger gal on your gifting list, she’ll love this silk scrunchie pack. Scrunchies started making a comeback a couple of years ago and they’re here to stay! What’s great about these ones is that they’re made with silk—meaning they won’t snag hair and they’ll fight against breakage.
While we’re on the topic of hair accessories, how neat are these scrunchies with hidden pockets?? Each one includes a small concealed pocket for things like keys, money lip balm (great for our Just Jill lip balm) and more.
Vera Bradley is back and bigger than ever. Stay in style with this tote… now 67% off!
Kitchen Gifts Under $25
Need a present for the baker, cook and entertainer? You’ll find some items that they’ll love below!
First is this set of Seasonal Temp-tations mini loaf pans. While it’s designed with Christmas colors, I like that it’s not overly Christmasy. And if you want to give them a gift that they’ll enjoy AND their stomachs will enjoy, bake some bread in this pan before you gift it!
Yes… this 4.5-quart Crock-Pot is under $20! Crock-Pot is a quality slow cooker brand, and it’s bound to make cooking and meal prep much easier. Especially when making all of those holiday dishes!
Speaking of holiday dishes. Are you one to make WAY too much food like me? No worries! Snag this 16-piece set of food storage container set to keep all of those leftovers fresh for days.
This Dash electric popcorn maker is just the cutest. And how fun would it be to include this in a gift box with kernels, cute bowls and popcorn seasonings?
Keep your gravy warm on your holiday table with this ceramic gravy boat. It comes with a warming tray and I love the that the blue is a little more neutral—making it great for any style of table decor.
Other Affordable Holiday Gifts
But wait… there’s more! Check out some $25 and under holiday gifts here.
Combat the chilly weather with a pair of fuzzy socks! So plush and warm… and adorable, too! I found an entire collection of socks for under $25 at QVC. Seems like a good place to take a look!
I don’t know what I’d do without a water bottle by my side. Staying hydrated is SO important! To help someone feel great and refreshed, you can give them this insulated water bottle.
Don’t forget to get them a WanderFull bag too! That way they won’t have to worry about it taking up valuable hand space.
If you know someone who loves baking, they’ll adore this spatula and potholders set that’s only $24 in the Just Jill Shop! A simple way to add a festive touch to any kitchen.
The new year is a time for change. And if you know someone wanting to create some new lifestyle habits, you can support them by giving them this hanging habit tracker.
Don’t know what to get that “hard to shop for” person on your list? Your best bet may be a gift card! Did you know we carry e-gift cards in the Just Jill Shop starting at a value of $25? You can also buy them in $50, and $100 amounts as well.
See? The gifting season doesn’t have to be all that expensive with these affordable holiday gifts.
But remember, any gift that you give from your heart is bound to be a great one. So if material gifts aren’t on your radar this year, gift them some homemade baked goods, quality time or some kind words.
From my home to yours,
Jill
