Christmas Gift Ideas Below $100
For under $100 you can find a really special Christmas gift that anyone would be thrilled to find under the tree on Christmas morning. Whether you’re looking for something practical, decorative or luxurious, there are plenty of great Christmas gift ideas below $100.
Here are seven great Christmas gift ideas below $100:
Winter Warmers
At Christmas there are still a few cold months ahead, so something to ward of the chill is often appreciated. A beautiful scarf complete with matching hat and gloves makes a perfect Christmas gift, or for close relatives you might consider a pair of cozy Christmas pajamas with coordinating comfy slippers.
Decorative Homeware
Unique items of homeware make great Christmas gift ideas and you can pick up wonderful pieces for below $100. Look for a framed painting or limited edition print, and try to find a subject that’s significant to the gift recipient. Alternatively look for a pretty lamp or vase. It helps if you have visited the recipient’s home and have a clear idea of their sense of style when you’re buying homeware.
Perfume or Aftershave
Perfume or aftershave makes a luxurious yet practical gift and is something that just about anyone will enjoy. You can buy a decent sized bottle of most perfumes for under $100 and you may even have enough left to buy complementary toiletries. If you know the recipient’s favorite scent then your choice is easy, otherwise you could play it safe and stick to the tried and tested classics, or take a gamble on a newly released fragrance that you personally love.
Holiday Gift Baskets
Christmas gift baskets are available in all price ranges, but you can get some great selections for below $100. Look out for a gift basket containing a bottle or two of wine, some crackers, nuts, cheese, chocolates, cookies and other essential holiday goodies. Make sure you check the expiration dates on the goodies in case they don’t get eaten right away.
New Year’s Resolution Kit
A New Year’s resolution kit is a really thoughtful and personal gift if you know what the recipient wants to achieve the following year. If they want to get fit buy a workout DVD, an exercise mat and hand weights, if they want to quit smoking buy a self help book and a supply of patches, and if they want to spend more time with their children buy some vouchers for a local theme park.
A Favorite Box Set
Winter evenings can be long and dark, and a box set can be a wonderful Christmas gift that will help to pass the time. Look for a favorite TV series, or perhaps films by a particular director or featuring a certain actor. You should be able to buy a really good box set for under $100.
Vacation Goodies
If there’s one thing we look forward to after the holiday season is over it’s our summer vacation. Why not set the ball rolling by choosing vacation goodies as a Christmas present? Look for a colorful beach bag and fill it with vacation essentials including sunglasses, flip flops, good books, and maybe even a travel guide if you already know the planned destination.
