Unique Gift Ideas for Every Budget Under $50

Affordable gift ideas can be great for the everyday folks around you, like coworkers, bosses, friends, and acquaintances. But when you’re picking a gift for someone really important, you might want to put a bit more thought into your choice. No worries though, because we’ve got some fantastic gift suggestions under $50 for those special people.

**Gifts for Mom**

Finding the right gift for your mom can be tricky because you want to make her happy. How about these great options under $50?

**A Fun Lunch Date!**

Many moms love spending time with their kids, so instead of a physical gift, why not offer some quality time? Plan a lunch date at a trendy spot you’ve been wanting to try. Lunch is usually cheaper than dinner, so you can enjoy a fancy meal for less than $50.

**Stylish Watch**

Chico’s has some very chic watches that look pricier than they are. I found a classy silver watch with a white face for just $45, including tax.

**Gifts for Dad**

**Sports Gear**

If your dad is into sports, consider getting him something related to his favorite sport. Whether it’s a new basketball, some golf gear, or a racquet, you can find lots of sports items for under $50.

**Personalized Beer Mugs**

For the dad who loves beer, personalized beer mugs can be a hit. I got my dad some mugs for his bar with “Mark’s Bar” engraved on them, and he loved them.

**Gifts for In-Laws**

**Personalized Blanket**

It’s important to impress the people who raised your significant other. To add a personal touch, you could get a blanket personalized with photos of the grandchildren, pets, or a family picture.

**Custom Pie Tin for the Family Chef**

I’m quite fond of this custom pie tin from Red Envelope. It’s the perfect gift for anyone who loves cooking in the family.

**Gifts for Your Wife**

Avoid anything house-related unless you know she’d love that vacuum cleaner – then make sure it’s a secondary gift.

**Wine Tasting Day**

Many wives, especially if they’re also moms, appreciate a little romance. Why not find a babysitter and take her on a date? Websites like Groupon make planning easy. You can usually find wine tastings for two for around $30, leaving some extra cash for flowers and a cheese platter.

**Massage**

Everyone needs a break, including your wife. Book her a relaxing massage and take over the childcare duties so she can unwind.

**Gifts for Your Husband**

**Personalized Cufflinks**

For your businessman husband, personalized cufflinks are a stylish choice.

**Video Games**

If he isn’t a businessman, consider a new video game for the gamer in him. You might even choose one you both can enjoy together.
