This may be my favorite gift guide because it takes a little extra work to find something special and fun at a lower (under $25) price point. This little list of gems contains some of my favorite gifts to give or receive . . . I love them all! Especially the Ina Garten ornament; she is just darling.
The best gifts under $25: 2024.
Facial Cupping Set
I discovered facial cupping this year via my facialist and it is one of my favorite things ever. It feels amazing, it depuffs like nothing else, and it’s great for your circulation + has anti-aging benefits. And . . . the cups are cheap! I have this set and really like it. I am not good enough at it to film a video but highly recommend this tutorial.
an ina garten ornament
I just got this ornament and she is one of my favorites!
taper candle holder
This delicate little candle holder from Persay (a secret favorite spot for special gifts) is beautiful; I can’t believe it’s only $25.
a baguette pen
One of my girlfriends brought me a baguette pen as a souvenir from Paris, and I love it so much. I searched high and low to find something similar, and this one does the trick!
bottle opener
I want to eventually collect a whole set of Sabre flatware (probably in Lapis Blue but it’s hard to pick a color) and I love the idea of giving this cute bottle opener as a gift. Bonus: attach it to a pretty bottle of sparkling cider or beer.
crew length socks
Carly and I both really love Colorful Standard’s happy organic cotton socks. They come in so many beautiful colors!
4 oz. candle
A heavenly-smelling candle from a Charleston-based small business!
tinted lip peptide
I am a big fan of these tinted lip treatments. Super shiny and glossy, with skincare benefits. I love the new cinnamon roll one as well; the scent is addictive.
gua sha tool
This might just be the prettiest gua sha tool I’ve ever seen. You could bundle it with the cupping set for a full pampering experience.
customized stationary
How pretty are these scalloped thank you notes? This shop has a lot of beautiful stationery — it’s worth combing around. I also love “hello beautiful!”
scented hand cream
One of my most favorite hand creams, in the perfect wintery scent. If you’re not familiar, this smells a lot like Le Labo santal 33 – divine!
ultra-glossy nail polish
I loooove this rose-tinted clear nail polish. It reminds me of Dior Nail Glow . . . but better! This is a perfect little gift to give your girlfriends, from a brand they likely haven’t heard of.
a horoscope puzzle
I love these clever horoscope puzzles. A perfect personalized, thoughtful gift that won’t break the bank. Especially as we approach cozy season!
Reusable eye masks
These reusable eye masks are such a genius idea. Just layer them over your favorite eye cream or serum for ten minutes, sit back, and relax.

Love this! Can you update the link for the candle holder? It links to the baguette pen 🙂

Every Christmas I treat myself to a new Charleston Candle Co. candle and Church Street is my favorite (I stay at the same house rental on Church Street when I visit Charleston). It reminds me of my vacations there and gives me something to look forward to during our long, snowy winters here in Maine. I’m so glad you included this gift.
I love that!!!! Thanks for sharing.
