Gifts under $20 are so important to us during the holidays! We love the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. But with so many people we want to show our thanks to with special gifts, it’s really special to us to find gifts under $20 that are meaningful, thoughtful and unique.
These are our picks for everyone on your list. Whether it’s a teacher gift, a host gift or something for a friend or neighbour, this list will cover all your bases and help you stay on budget.
1. Beautiful decor for the holidays and after
Illume Candle Holders, $19.99
We LOVE these candle holders. Not only do they make beautiful centrepieces during the holidays, they work with any kind of decor all year. This is something that we would give to a family member or close friend.
Flicker LED Tealight – Set of 9, $7.99
If you want to add something special, we also love switching our our candles for an LED version! These are really handy to keep on hand when you have kids, or don’t to worry about running out of tea lights. These are a thoughtful gift on their own, but if you want to push a little past $20, we love adding these!
2. A classic cheeseboard
Artisanal ‘Acacia Wood’ Cheese Board With Knives, $14.99
This is a winning option for truly anyone on your list. This cheese board is a great size AND it comes with the cheese knives! If there’s someone on your list who loves to entertain, or maybe someone who recently moved, they would love this serving board that’s a nice decor element for kitchens, too. We love the rustic but trendy vibe!
3. Fresh coffee every day
This French press is beautiful and thoughtful. If you have a friend or neighbour who loves coffee, they might not have tried a French press. It’s a simple way to make coffee every day and we love this simple, modern design.
4. Double-walled mugs — a trend we love
Milano Double Wall Espresso Glass – Set of 2, $11.99
