Your holiday gift-giving expert is here to help. Instead of scouring the web—or worse, going to stores—in search of the perfect things to buy, and then checking all their prices and seeing they're actually far out of budget, I'm curating the best gifts on a budget for you.
The gifts here are all under $300, but they feel like they should be more. (It's good for your pockets that they aren't more, though.) Everything on this list feels luxurious, from a silk pillowcase to a custom Polo Ralph Lauren rugby shirt. I mean, how are a De'Longhi coffee machine, a Nintendo Switch, Apple AirPods, and a Loewe candle less than 300 bucks? A great gift for $300 makes holiday shopping budgeting easy, and these great gifts under $300 make holiday shopping fun, too.
Things are getting more and more expensive these days, but the 25 gifts below are at great prices. Whether you're gifting a spouse, a parent, a sibling, a friend, or, hell, even a neighbor, these are gifts that show you put in the work—even when all you did was scroll down this list. Keep calm and shop on.
All-in-One Combination Coffee Maker & Espresso Machine
If someone gave me this for the holidays, they'd be my new best friend. My real best friend, however, knows how much I cherish the De'Longhi I already have—so if your BFF doesn't have one, you know what to do.
AirPods Pro (2nd Generation)
Gift someone in your life the AirPods Pro experience: ease, high-quality audio, and a sleek look.
Logo-Debossed Leather Cardholder
I had to double check the price on this, because a leather Burberry cardholder for under 300 bucks seems too good to be true. But despite how chic and elegant this is, it really is under $300.
Smart Mug 2
This mug keeps your beverages warm with internal heating, so you never have to drink the last dregs of cold coffee again. And, really, that gift is priceless.
Pure Silk Pillowcase
A pure silk pillowcase will improve your hair and skin while you sleep—to me, that's worth way more than $110.
Smart Garden 3
For the botanist in your life, or just someone who wants to explore their green thumb with fresh-grown vegetables, a smart garden that can be kept right in the kitchen is an infallible pick.
Whistler Throw Blanket
If you thought Ugg boots were comfy, just wait until you feel how plush, cozy, and warm this blanket is.
Create Your Own Rugby Shirt
Why settle for a rugby shirt someone else designed, when PRL lets you make your own? From start to finish, this one is entirely unique.
Small Tomato Leaves Candle
A groovy, small candle that smells oh so good.
Men's Grey Vetiver Parfum
Speaking of smelling good: Cologne always makes for a classy gift, and few colognes are as glassy as this one.
Beauty Holiday Advent Calendar 2023
If your giftee is into makeup and skincare, why get them just one gift when you could get an entire month's worth?
Retro Electric Kettle
A chic, retro addition to the kitchen that'll be loved for years.
Major IV Headphones
These headphones are the gift that just keeps giving. I was gifted mine in 2021, and they're still used on the daily.
Self-Cleaning Transparent Air Fryer
Take your snack game to the next level with an air fryer that lets you watch as it air fries.
Personal Concrete Fireplace
Like Prometheus, you can give the gift of fire. But this is arguably better, because it comes in a cool, portable concrete fireplace.
4-in-1 Cast Iron Stack
A functional gift for the foodie that will make their life so much easier.
NC301 CREAMi Ice Cream Maker
Dessert, anyone? Sate that sweet tooth with an at-home ice cream maker. Tip: it works for gelato, too.
Temple Des Mousses (Moss Temple) Refillable Candle
Another candle, but this one is refillable. So it won't just be a gift this year—it'll be one when it's reused next year, and again, and again, and again.
Men's Windsor Tartan Pajama Set
The gift I'll recommend time and time again, because Petite Plume's (customizable!) pajamas are just that good.
Eau de Parfum Discovery Set
Enjoy not just one, but four of Le Labo's most iconic scents.
Hooded House Robe
A plush, soft hooded robe that brings a 5-star hotel right to your home.
Mini Wrought Iron Candelabra
This is the kind of cool and classy gift that everyone will ask about at a dinner party, and when you're cited as the gifter, you'll get all the ooohs and ahhs.
'I Don't Know What' Body Lotion
This body lotion is rich, creamy, and smells way too good.
Legacy of Petra Eau de Parfum
Penhaligon's makes some of my favorite scents ever, and this warm vanilla-y one with myrrh is just the right one for winter and beyond. Plus, the chic bottle will be a nightstand staple.
Switch with Neon Blue and Neon Red Joy‑Con
And, finally, the Switch. AKA the gift everybody wants, no matter what level of gamer they are.
