8 Affordable Gifts Under $50 That Look Surprisingly Luxe

I love to spoil the people in my life (especially around the holidays) but here’s the harsh reality: I don’t have the budget to drop hundreds of dollars just on Christmas gifts. Especially when I have so many loved ones on my list. 

The good news? I’m an expert-level shopper who knows how to find luxury items for less. ICYMI, you don’t have to overspend for people to think you overspent. Case in point: this $20 cashmere-blend sweater that has 5 stars on Amazon and the stunning solitaire crystal necklace that could easily pass for a real diamond. 

Whether you’re shopping for your best friend, mom, sister, or boss—who you’re really hoping to impress ahead of your Christmas bonus—these gifts are sure to impress. Keep scrolling to shop my personal faves—all under $50 and still so luxe.
