Great Gifts Under $20 For Everyone On Your List

Gifts under $20 are always good to have on hand for little gifts for someone who pops up on your gift list.

Gifts under $20 can be hard to come by, but my whole team (you’ll see their blurbs and notes) has made a great list of a few items that you can add to your Christmas shopping list! These are the perfect things to get for your friends, whole families or anyone left on your list!

Gifts Under $20

Featured Under $20 Gifts

CHRISTMAS TREE COUNTER SPRAY. This smells exactly like a Christmas tree farm! Grab a few and gift them to your girlfriends before the holidays.

THREAD WALLET. I use my thread wallet every single day- it’s so convenient to have everything on hand and they have a bunch of cute patterns. These are especially popular with teens/college students.

4REAL Mascara. This is the best mascara I’ve ever used. No flaking, lifts and volumizes my lashes, and code MERRICK gives you an extra 15% off making it even less expensive!

RUFFLE SOCKS. Teen girls are all about the ruffle socks these days (moms too!) and these are a killer price to add to stockings.

HOLIDAY BAKING DECK. There was a cheese board version of this last year, and I’m loving this holiday baking version.

TRAVEL JEWELRY CASE. I have used this for every trip for quite a few years – truly a necessary item for me.

CARHARTT BEANIE. This is such a good and easy gift for men, women, teens – basically anyone on the list!

DOVE HAIR MASK. This is a team favorite – we’ve all tried a lot of different options, and this one has become the winner!

RIFLE PAPER CO NOTEBOOKS. These are beautiful little notebooks for any student, office worker, or adamant note-taker on your list!

OVERNIGHT MASK. This is a new item I have and have LOVED it so far. It’s so easy to paint on your skin and peel off to reveal glass skin in the morning!

LANEIGE LIP BALM. You can’t go wrong with Laneige, from teen girls to your best friend, anyone would love it!

SNAKESKIN BAG. I can never have enough bags to put into my purse that hold lip glosses, or pencils, or cords. All the things. I have used these from Target for years and they are my favorite!

Under $20 Beauty Gifts

HARD AS HOOFS NAIL CREAM. Perfect for anyone to add to their home manicure kit – the reviews are amazing.

HAIR TIES. These are the best ponytail holders ever. They hold your hair so well, especially for running and exercising. My ponytails always used to fall out while I was running, and now they never do cause these hold so well and are so comfy!

TRAVEL MAKEUP BAG. This is the best travel toiletries bag! I have the size large and it holds everything, folds up into one pack, and has a hanger so it’s easy to hang in the hotel room so you can easily access everything.

BROW GEL. I hate when my brows go everywhere during the day. This stuff helps laminate them but doesn’t feel stiff or sticky at all.

SHOWER STEAMERS. Shower steamers. These are the BEST scent and are always selling out. Showering with these is like going to a Four Seasons spa. LOVE!

ZIT PATCHES. If you use these HERO patches then you already know how great they are. Your teen and your self will love them.

DAE TAMING WAND. This is a little mascara-type wand for fly aways and I love this for me and my daughter, and any woman on your list would love this.

FIRMING EYE GELS. I love these, they feel extremely luxurious and they actually work!

OVERNIGHT SLEEP MASK. This is a sheet mask that you can sleep in and it will truly transform your skin overnight.

NYX LIP OIL. Literally use it everyday and give it as gifts. Everyone who buys it loves it.

KITSCH FACIAL RAZORS. I have the smoothest skin every when I’m using my face razor once a week!

GLOTION. This is one of my very favorite beauty products. It’s super affordable and works both as a quick glow for days when I’m rushing out the door or as the perfect finishing touch to a full face of makeup. I’ve gotten a bunch of friends and my sisters hooked on it and they love it!

MAKEUP ERASER. These are so convenient, good for the earth, and save money! I can’t find my exact set because I’ve had them for years, but the set of 2 looks great and the other one has so many great reviews!

TANGLE TEEZER BRUSH. I love this hair brush for both my daughters and myself – great for both wet and dry hair!

NAIL STRENGTHENER. If you have weak nails, this is such a great product. It goes on like regular clear nail polish, but it helps strengthen your nails. Mine are constantly bending and tearing, but when this is on, they’re nice and strong!

MASCARA PRIMER. If your mascara is constantly flaking during the day, you must try this mascara primer. It’s so great for keeping your lashes from drooping and your mascara from smudging or flaking.

Under $20 Clothing + Accessory Gifts

BAG HOOK. These are a must-have for any women – protect your bag from germs on the ground anywhere you go!

RIBBED CREW SOCKS. I know people love wool socks for winter, but in Texas, it is just way too hot for them! I love these. They are cute, thinner than a wool sock and come in so many great neutral colors.

STANCE SOCKS. My husband only wears this brand of socks to work and church. He loves them! My boys love the funky styles and wear them to church every week. I get them a new pair anytime I have to gift them something

GOLD HUGGIE HOOPS. This gold closed hoop set is super versatile and great for someone with a few piercings. I wear mine every day!

Under $20 Home Gifts

MOCKTAIL MIXERS. I LOVE a good mocktail, and my husband put these in my stocking last year. I loved making them with sparkling water for a little pick-me-up!

STRIPED MUGS. These look like handmade, high-end mugs, and they’re much more affordable. Would make a great friend gift!

MINI PORTABLE FAN. Who else needs a quick cool-down as they get older? This one packs a punch!

SNACK CONTAINERS. I love these little snack containers for on-the-go snacks or lunch. They’re airtight, so even cottage cheese or applesauce doesn’t leak out or into the other sections.

MINI CANDLES. The volcano candle is Anthropologie’s signature scent, and a mini version would be a perfect gift for anyone.

UNIVERSAL ADAPTER. Kristy’s Mom brought this on their trip to France and it was so great. I have several adapters, but this one is great for country hopping.

ERASABLE PENS. Erasable Pens have become my favorite writing tool. I can’t tell you how much I have to erase a schedule item or even my menopause fog brain errors, but these pens are hands down my favorite item of 2025.

MINI WAFFLE MAKER. We have this and I use it multiple times a week. It’s perfect for making a quick breakfast or snack. I especially love using it to make Kodiak cakes!

MONOGRAMMED TRINKET DISH. A perfect touch to add to any room, vanity, or bathroom. Grab one for each of your friends.

PICKLEBALL SET.  The only thing better than pickleball is having a PINK pickleball set!!

MILK FROTHER. If you don’t have a frother, what are you even doing with your life? It’s the best for mixing drinks, protein shakes, and frothing milk!

CLIP ON STRAINER. This is a go-to affordable gift for me and everyone loves it! It’s a super ordinary item, but so convenient, easy to wash, and takes up no cabinet space!

KINDLE CASE. A kindle cover, just makes reading more fun!

MICROWAVE POPCORN POPPER. Best popcorn maker ever, the whole family uses it and it gets used almost daily!

INDOOR HERB GARDEN. For anyone obsessed with plants, I think this would be so cute on a windowsill!

CANDLE WARMER LAMP. This was one of the most popular gift recommendations last year, it’s so good!

PRINCESS MATCHING GAME. A $7 game for little girls – easy purchase and one any little girl would love!

TRAVEL ICE CREAM PLAY SET. This is the BEST on-the-go toy – church, planes, cars, anything

SHAKER BOTTLE. A shaker bottle is literally in my 16-year-old’s hands several times a day. It’s all about the protein and the pre-workout and post-workout and I don’t even know what! But I do know that he loves to shake it in a blender bottle!

GATORADE BOTTLE. If you have a teenage boy then you know this a no-brainer. A colorful Gatorade bottle! Check it off the lists!

ELF LIP OIL. ELF Lip oil. I’m obsessed with this lip product! It’s a super popular save option for lip oil and I’m obsessed!
