59 of the Best Gifts Under $25 for Any Occasion

At nearly five inches wide, this adorable nightlight is a bit bigger than your typical soup dumpling, but that doesn't mean it won't make you smile. Available in this sunny yellow shade or a pale blue, it will definitely light your way to the bathroom.

"Amazon actually has some cute matcha bowls, if you dig deep enough, and they're surprisingly durable," Senior Commerce Editor Marina Liao says. "I have a few myself, and think they would make for the perfect affordable gift for the matcha lover in your life. I would buy this one with a little built-in spout because it'll make pouring the tea from bowl into a cup much easier."

Whether you use this to store your perfume bottles, lipsticks, hair scrunchies, or even keys, you'll love the elevated vibes on whatever surface it lives on. Personally, we're into this atop a bathroom vanity. There's something about the fluted glass, gold-toned legs, and muted jewel color that feels a bit Old-World.

Nothing makes a dinner party feel more sophisticated than candlelight. That said, scented candles just won't do. Instead, opt for a long tapered candle (shop our top affordable pick here) in pastel-hued glass holders. Sadly, they don't come in a set, but at just $10 per holder, you can snag a few mis-matched ones without spending too much.

We know what you're thinking: Who buys just one Champagne glass? We hear you, but because they're finished in a subtle iridescence, we'd consider these special occasion glasses that you'd break out to celebrate a birthday, anniversary, or anything else with the people closest to you. There's no need to buy them in a set of six or 12. If, however, you want more than one, buy them in a set of four for only $43.

If you know someone in the market for some escapism, skip the beach- and ski-centric tomes. Opt for a special book about one of the most celebrated cities in the world, New York.

This nifty little sponge has revolutionized the way we apply makeup, and if you know someone who hasn't had the pleasure (and ease) of stippling their foundation or tinted moisturizer onto their face, give them the gift of flawless application.

"I like easy board games that don't require much explaining (on my part) and this one is definitely a crowd pleaser! You can play it with six year olds—my baby cousins love it and feel so proud when they beat the adults—or with your very adult friends as a Friday night drinking game," Liao says. The rules are simple: Each person takes a turn flipping a card face-up on a pile in the middle while saying the words: taco, cat, goat, cheese, pizza—in that order. If the card in the middle matches the word being spoken, players race to slap their hands down on top of all the cards. Whoever is last must add the entire stack to their own set of cards. The winner is the person who gets rid of all their cards first.

Ice may be a little overhyped when it comes to skincare, but it does have some useful benefits, including its ability to depuff and stimulate blood flow. If you want to get the most out of your ice, roll it over your face first thing in the morning.

We're big fans of vintage-looking technology that is much more advanced than it looks. Case in point: this charming Bluetooth speaker that is small enough to bring anywhere. It comes in four colors, three of which are under $25. For some reason, the teal shade is $30, so maybe skip that one!

Whether you tuck it between a set of books and let the blooms peak out or let it shine on its own atop your coffee table, this unique vase is an instant conversation-starter.

This dimmable desk light pairs with an app on your phone, so feel free to change the brightness and color according to what you're doing at the moment. If you're working late, you may want to try the yellow hue on a bright setting. On the other hand, if you're trying to set a peaceful mood before bed, opt for the red shade on a dim setting.

It's not movie night without snacks—namely, popcorn. This variety pack includes three types of kernels and four popcorn seasoning, making each flick a delicious experience. There are two savory options and two sweet ones, so there's something tasty for everyone.

You'll end up with a delicious snack or salad addition in no time.

Water is as much a lifeline for us as it is for our plants. Luckily, this refillable IV set isn't quite as complicated to handle as the real thing, so feel free to use it without a medical degree. That said, it does share a big benefit with the original: It hydrates at the perfect rate depending on what the recipient needs.

This looks like a tiny space heater from the Space Age era, which is why we love it. After all, if you're cold, you may as well warm up in style, right? This is the perfect gift for anyone working in an ice-cold office, whether it's at home or, well, at an office.
