Gifts under $25 that still feel thoughtful
A framework for picking small gifts that don’t feel like filler—and a short list to start from.
What makes a small gift feel “big”
Thoughtful gifts usually have one of these signals: (1) they remove friction from a routine, (2) they support a hobby, or (3) they feel personal without being risky (like a scent or clothing size).
If you’re unsure, pick something that upgrades a daily habit: coffee/tea, desk setup, sleep, cooking, or commuting.
Avoid common under-$25 traps
Skip novelty items with no use beyond a laugh—those read as “I had to get something.”
Be careful with sizing (apparel) and strong fragrances unless you’re confident in their preference.
