2024 Christmas Gift Guide: Secret Santa and Stocking Stuffer Gifts Under $50

When you have a gift budget, and don’t necessarily know the person you’re gifting intimately, quirky, feel-good or slightly indulgent gifts are often the way I roll. Designer toothpaste? Sure, why not. Kitchen gadgets that are both useful and adorable? Yes, please. Books, travel accessories and homewares that are big on vibes and personality? You bet. I guess my point is — when it’s a small gift you’re after, practicality shouldn’t be at the top of your buying list.

All the pieces featured in this edit blend function and form beautifully, and would make a great gift for friends, work acquaintances, family and beyond. These are the products you wouldn’t often buy for yourself, but really appreciate when someone else does. I’ve got my eye on the colourful packing cube set (so handy), silver lemon squeezer (adorable!), a sneaker cleaner for my shoe-obsessed nephew, and the Clinique Black Honey gift set, because that lipstick will forever be a favourite.
