Top 10 Christmas Gifts for Anyone on Your List

‘Tis the season of giving, but sometimes, the hardest part is figuring out what to give. So, here is a list of the top ten gifts to get this holiday season for under $20 for everyone on your list.


The first item to check out is a soft blanket. Since many people are spending a lot of time at home relaxing, or perhaps watching movies together on the couch, a plush blanket is exactly what everyone needs. The price ranges anywhere from about $10-$20 for these comfy coverings, and, of course, they can make the perfect gift.

The second item to consider is an insulated water bottle. Whether it be to keep your hot cocoa hot or your water cold, this is a great gift for anyone on your list. Water bottles such as these typically run about $15-$20, but there are more expensive models available if desired.

Next up is the Bath and Body Works mini gift set. This gift includes a travel size lotion, perfume, and hand sanitizer in almost any scent you can imagine. You get all of this for only $14.

Then comes the perfect gift for staying in: the movie basket. Grab a popcorn bucket, a movie, and treats, and wrap all of these items up with a fancy bow, and viola! This basket can range in price from as low as $5 to about $20, but of course you can buy as much candy and treats as you would like.

This wouldn’t be an acceptable affordable Christmas present list without the childhood classic gift of slipper socks. Nothing is better than putting on a nice, thick, soft pair of socks after you come in from the cold. You can get any design or color you can dream of from basically anywhere starting at $1.

If none of the items above suit your fancy, perhaps you’ll be interested in the hottest trend in bedroom accessories: LED light strips. You can hang them anywhere, and they’re especially cool on Zoom calls or in TikTok videos. The price for these lights ranges from about $10-$20.

Additionally, not many people would turn down a portable charger. If your recipient is constantly on the go, there’s a fair chance that they worry about their electronics dying throughout the day. You can get this present for about $20, and even though this gift is a little more on the expensive side, everyone is sure to love it.

Number eight on this list is earbuds. In the ear or over the ear, wireless or wires included, there are many options of earbuds to fit your needs. You can get them for about $10-$30, but you can obviously spend more if you so desire.

The ninth option on this collection of ideas is for the handyman on your list; a magnetic wristband offers a desirable compromise of fashion and utility. It can be quite annoying when you drop screws and nails everywhere, so this is the solution. On Amazon, this present is only about $17, which is an amazing price for the convenience.

Last, but not least, is a game suited for whomever the recipient is. Whether it be a board game, card game, or video game, this gift is ideal for family game nights. Throw a game in with some snacks, and boom, best gift ever! You can get most card, board, and older generation video games for a price of $1-20, but for more modern video games, you’ll be looking at some higher prices.

I hope this list has provided you with some last minute, budget friendly gift ideas for everyone on your list. Stay safe, healthy, and have a happy holiday season!
