Looking for christmas gifts under 50 dollars that still feel personal? A photo wallet, a little tea box or a mug filled with treats gives you plenty to work with.
I especially love the baskets with matching colors and big Christmas bows.
You can keep things simple or put together a small bundle. These pictures are inspiration, not a verified price guide: individual products and full baskets may exceed $50.
Check current prices, shipping and personalization costs before choosing.
Christmas gifts and pretty ways to wrap them
red and white little gifts
We’re starting off strong with this red-and-white gift collage. I love the reindeer slippers, oversized red bow and red snowflake-print dress.
There are plenty of smaller ideas here without copying the whole collection.
For your own little bundle, choose a red hair clip and a lip product rather than the pictured phone or perfume.

a blanket with a personal tag
How sweet is this blanket presentation? The gray-and-white patterned blanket has dark horizontal bands and a fluffy-looking surface. White ribbon holds a personalized Christmas message right in the middle.
Add a decorative berry sprig to your wrapping if you want that same little touch of red.
a photo on a wallet
If you are looking for something personal, this one is for you. These brown wallets have couple portraits on the front, with stitching around the edges.
Choose a favorite photo for your version. I’d keep the outside free of extra wording so the picture gets all the attention.
silver bows and patterned boxes
Already picked out the present but need a wrapping idea? I love the silver bows and white “HO HO HO” lettering on the red box.
The separate red-and-white striped box is so cute too.

This picture shows packaging rather than the gifts inside. Borrow the red, silver and black combination for a gift you’ve already chosen.
a holly-covered tumbler
This holly design may just be one of my favorites here. The red berries and gold-colored details look so pretty against the muted green Stanley tumbler.
Check the price of this particular version before adding it to your list. A different holly-print cup could be your alternative if it goes over budget.
a red bucket gift bundle
Want to go all out with the wrapping? This red bucket sits on a matching wrapped box, with clear wrapping around the whole arrangement.
The silver ribbon and red topper are worth borrowing. Fill your own bucket with a few chosen treats rather than trying to match every partly hidden item.
bright red earbuds
Don’t want to put together a whole basket? No problem!
These red wireless earbuds and their matching case give you a single-gift idea with a festive color.
Check compatibility and product reviews before choosing a pair. The picture alone won’t tell you how they sound.
a candle with gold details
I am obsessed with the white candle and gold-colored stand together. The oversized jar has several lit wicks, so this is definitely the statement piece of the candle ideas here.
For a smaller-budget version, look for a smaller white jar candle with a gold-colored lid. You don’t need to copy this enormous size.
little monogram dishes
How cute are these little dishes? Each white square has a swirling initial in the center, with green, purple and black versions shown.
Choose the recipient’s initial in their favorite color. I’d give one as a little spot for rings or earrings.
a striped kitchen gift basket
This is actually one of my favorite basket ideas. The red-and-white striped oven mitt looks so cute beside the holiday spatula and miniature tree.
Start your version with the mitt and spatula. Add a candle or a packaged simmer blend if there’s room in your budget, rather than feeling you need every item.
sage slippers with floral bows
The floral bows are my favorite part of these slippers. The sage green pair has open toes and cream-colored ribbons covered in little pink and red flowers.
There’s also a white pair with bows in the background if you prefer a simpler color combination.
a game-night basket
Calling all game-night fans, this is such a fun basket idea. UNO and Pictionary Air are visible in the front basket, with a big red bow across the top.
Choose a game that suits the recipient’s age and interests. You can keep your version to one game and still borrow the cute ribbon and hanging tag.
a festive popcorn tin
Don’t want to add lots of separate little gifts? Go with a popcorn tin instead.
This Garrett tin has bold red-and-green stripes, with golden and brown-coated popcorn pictured above the rim.
Choose the size and flavors from the actual listing before ordering. The striped packaging already does plenty of the decorating.
mugs filled with cocoa treats
How adorable is the gingerbread mug with that big candy cane? This collage has plenty of mug-gift ideas, from personalized cups to little bags of cocoa toppings.
For a Christmas version, start with one mug. Add a sealed cocoa packet and marshmallows, then finish with a ribbon around the wrapping.
mini prints and a pocket printer
Love giving photos instead of another beauty product? This picture pairs a small white printer with black-and-white portraits that have wide white borders.
Check the printer’s price and refill requirements first. If the device is outside your budget, a set of printed photos in a little album would be a lovely alternative.
a red basket and little reindeer
I am obsessed with the little reindeer in this collage. It’s so cute beside the red-and-black checked blanket and the red basket with white trim.
Pick a few favorites for your own version rather than buying the whole arrangement. If you include the pictured cookie dough, follow its storage instructions instead of leaving it in a basket under the tree.
cream and brown reindeer gifts
This is another reindeer gift idea, but the colors are a little different. I love the cream basket, brown accessories and mug with its red-and-white striped handle.
A mug, a chocolate and the deer-shaped hair clip would make a sweet smaller selection. You can leave the larger beauty collection out.
dip mixes in ornament bottles
How fun is this packaging? The dip mixes sit in clear ornament-shaped bottles, each with a tied-on instruction tag.
Red, green and white shredded filler makes the box look extra festive.
If you put together your own version, use food-safe containers and include accurate ingredient, allergen and preparation information.
pink stripes and a black bow
If you are looking for a gift without Christmas prints, this pajama set is a pretty option. The pink-and-white stripes have black edging around the collar, pocket and shorts.
I especially love the little black bow at the waist. Check the recipient’s size and the fabric details before choosing a similar set.
a tea box with flower candles
Last but definitely not least, we have this lovely tea-themed gift box. I love the flower-shaped candles and gold-colored heart tea infuser!
A tea packet and honey dipper sit among the shredded filler.
For your own box, choose tea and one little extra. Finish the outside with twine and a decorative evergreen sprig like the wrapped boxes shown here.
