The holiday season is upon us, and that means family time, holiday parties, and gift-giving. Even if you're planning on buying multiple gifts for different people, there's actually a lot you can accomplish without breaking the bank. In fact, even $10 can go a long way. Though this low price limit for a gift exchange may seem like quite the challenge, we have plenty of great gift ideas to help you make it work. We have compiled over 25 of our favorite products, from playful holiday-themed items to adorable novelty gifts that are truly unique.
There are plenty of self-care items for a friend, coworker, or family member who needs a vacation, including skincare sets, handmade soap, and an adult coloring book. We have also rounded up some novelty gifts that are so unique, they make up for their tiny price tag. Our personal favorites include the adorable black cat stickers and the dachshund-shaped tray that makes dog-shaped ice. Whether you're shopping for a new colleague or one of your best friends, these small (but mighty) gifts are sure to please gift exchange participants. They also make perfect Secret Santa gifts, and many of these items are even suitable for kids and teenagers.
Keep scrolling for plenty of great ideas for cheap Christmas gifts, perfect for Dirty Santa or White Elephant exchanges, family gift swaps, and even as a bit of retail therapy for yourself!
