20 Gifts Under $60 – Ultimate Holiday Gift Guide 2023

The season of gift giving has finally arrived! Now comes the daunting task of choosing what to give.

I feel like whenever I ask people what they want they are always timid on giving an answer. That’s why whenever a gift idea strikes me I add it to a private list on my amazon account. That way when the holidays arrive, I don’t have to stress.

So, if you’re struggling to come up with gift ideas you’ve come to the right place.

After seeing the Kardashians post their gift picks for 2023 I saw a lot of people complaining about the price point. As someone who is self-employed I completely resonate with that. That’s what everything on this list is under $60! And it’s stuff that’s actually usable.

To make browsing easier, I’ve separated each list into “Gifts for Her” and “Gifts for Him. However don’t let that limit you! Just because a gift usually caters toward men doesn’t mean a woman won’t enjoy it and vise versa. I simply wanted to categorize the gifts to make it easier for people who are skimming for what they specifically want!

This post contains links to products that I have researched or used that I think you would enjoy based on the article you are reading. I used to be an Amazon Affiliate to receive a commission. I am no longer apart of the program but I still wanted to share these products because I truly believe in them and think they will come in handy! Using my links to purchase is no extra cost to you!

GIFT IDEAS FOR HIM

My boyfriend and I have been together for 8 years and you think that would mean I know him well enough that gift giving season is a breeze! You would be wrong.

He usually doesn’t care much for material things. I cannot tell you how many well-thought gifts have gone untouched over the years. I know that he still appreciates the gesture but I’d like to also get him something he will use and enjoy! That’s why I’m super proud of the variety of options that I came up with on this list. You can be sure to find something for anybody!

When in doubt…

…the best thing to do when it comes to gift giving is to make sure it comes from the heart. Buy something that shows that you care, and that you really listen to the other person.

Take into account things that they talk about all the time and activities that you’ve done together. Taking an inside joke and turning it into a present will put a smile on anyones face. Even if they don’t end up using the product a lot, they’ll still be touched by the meaning behind it.

Another option when it comes to gift giving is doing something together. Check out my Winter Bucket List and pick a couple of activities to try together. Even though this article is focussed on gifts you can purchase, don’t forget the most important gift of all! Quality time together, and making memories that last forever.

I hope that this list helped inspire you for this wonderful season of giving. If you decide on something from this list, please let me know how it works out for you and what you think!

Share in the comments your favorite gift idea, on this list or not. You could help someone finally find the perfect gift that they’ve been looking for!
