Best Gifts under 150 collage of products

Folks, it’s that time of the year again. If you’re anything like me, then your go-to strategy for holiday gifting is to hand out a Visa gift card that can be used anywhere to avoid disappointment. This year, however, I am challenging myself (and you) to think outside of the box when it comes to handing out presents. While it may be hard to find gifts for dads and gifts for teens (i.e. some of the hardest to people to shop for…outside of mom, of course), you absolutely can find something that fits their fancy without breaking the bank (even if it’s a virtual gift). I’ve sifted through more than 200 top gifts and narrowed it down to the best 30 gifts under $150. It’s time to get wrapping.

How I Chose the Best Gifts Under $150

I chose a wide selection of gifts to cater to every person in your life—whether it’s your accountant or your great aunt Ann. I polled our editors for their recommendations of top products and paid close attention to best-selling items with top ratings from buyers, while also taking into consideration items that have been favorites from PureWow readers throughout 2024. The result is this list of 30 items that are high-quality, editor-approved and smartly priced under the $150.

A Self Care Gift

1. Body Restore Aromatherapy Shower Steamers

Body Restore

If relaxation is the goal for your recipient, they will certainly enjoy these shower steamers. Made with pure essential oils, this gift box comes with 30 different choices in a variety of scents, including jasmine, grapefruit, lavender and eucalyptus.

For the Athleisure Lover

2. Vuori Villa Cargo Jogger

Vuori

Assistant Commerce Editor Natalie LaBarbera calls these joggers her ultimate travel pants: “Honestly, I can’t say enough good things about them. The lightweight fabric was perfect for keeping skin covered and protected on germ-y seats and surfaces, but didn't leave me sweating as I rushed through the TSA line,” she wrote in her review. “The real standout for me, though, is the wide, stretchy waistband. It never felt like it was digging in or falling down, so I didn't have to adjust the joggers while I was juggling my luggage.” Comfy and supportive, these joggers are definitely the gift that keep on giving."

For the Coffee Lover

3. Ember Temperature Control Smart Cup

Ember

Executive Editor Catrina Yohay suggests this temperature-controlled smart cup for any coffee lover. “We're a two-Ember-mug household over here 'cause we both can't stand lukewarm coffee or having to run it over to the microwave every half hour for a heat up (plus, we have a theory that it doesn't taste as good post microwave), she says, adding, “It extends the coffee drinking experience and makes it more enjoyable.” This mug allows you to set temps between 120 and 145 degrees, and the rechargeable battery keeps it at the temperature for over an hour. Now, it’s time for your brother in law to write that novel!

Featuring eight powerful modes and a heat function that goes up to 45 degrees Fahrenheit without overheating, this massager relieves tension, stress and knots for anybody who needs it (which is most of us these days). Regular massages can get quite pricey, so this is a less expensive alternative that still gets the job done….while watching Industry.

For the Cleaner

5. Bissell Little Green Cleaner

Bissell

The viral Bissell Little Green Cleaner will definitely come in handy for your recipient if they have furry friends occupying their household. Its compact size gets in those hard-to-reach places, making it an efficient way to remove those stubborn stains you’ve been complaining about.

For the Fitness Guru

6. Sperax Walking Pad

Sperax

This top-selling walking pad is loved by PureWow readers for its effectiveness in getting steps in. Boasting nearly 5,000 5-star reviews, it goes up to 3.8 MPH and the speed is adjustable with the remote control. Additionally, your giftee will also be able to see their distance, time in use and approximate calories burned on the LED screen as their walking, making this an excellent gift for multitasking.

For the Fashionista

7. lululemon Slouchy Sling Bag

lululemon

This sling bag checks all the boxes: chic design, water-repellent fabric, strategically placed zipped exterior pockets and spacious interior. Plus, it’s super popular with PureWow readers since you can  pair your leggings or wear it out for date night. The under-$70 price tag makes it one of the best fashion pickups for the fall and winter season.

This olive oil set is recommended by PureWow Editor-in-Chief Jillian Quint who said in her review, "The two-pack comes with an all-purpose cooking oil (Sizzle) and an olive-y tasting, straight-from-the-bottle oil (Drizzle) meant to be used directly on foods...They taste way better than anything at the supermarket, and the squeeze-bottle design is aces."

A Fancy Gift

9. Anthropologie Icon Juice Glasses

Anthropologie

With hundreds of 5-star reviews, these glass cups add just the right amount of farmhouse twee to any kitchen. Perfect for a range of wines, cocktails, juices and more, they come in 15 different colorways and are under $20.

For the Pet Lover

10. HTDDesign Arts Custom Shaped Pillow

HTDDesignsArt

A custom-themed pillow is a great gag gift if you want to add a little bit of a pranking element in the mix (because who wouldn't want a full body pillow of...themselves or their pet?). All you have to do is upload a cute/funny picture of your subject, and let your imagination take it from there. Aside from the fun display, these pillows are also quite comfortable to rest and relax on with their cushioned, smooth construction. Who knows, your recipient just might catch themselves falling asleep!

For the Book Lover

11. Book Nook Reading Valet

Uncommon Originals

This adorable little wooden stand provides a handy spot for your recipient to rest that page turner. It has everything a reader needs from a place for storing reading glasses, to a cup holder. Plus, the stand also has a spot to hold their book open so that they don’t forget where they’re at, bookmark be damned!

A Unique Chef Tool

12. iQ Sense by CHEF iQ

Chef iQ

Assistant Editor Delia Curtis has been raving about this wireless thermometer. “This wireless thermometer is incredible! I saw it in action on a press trip and got to try it for myself. It’s a thermometer that’s controlled via app and allows you to monitor your temp away from home and will alert you when your food has reached the desired temp. Controlled via wifi and bluetooth. It’s a game changer in the kitchen. The app it’s connected to allows you to select the kind of meat/cauliflower/etc you’re cooking, the desired temp and let you know how long to leave it in for all while keeping an eye on the temp of things as it’s cooking so you don’t have to constantly hover over the oven.”

For the Techy-Savvy Reader

13. Amazon Kindle Paperwhite

Amazon

If your recipient is a bookworm, they will get plenty of use out of the Kindle Paperwhite, which is new and improved with its easy navigation, bright display, thinner borders and faster page turning. Also offering a 10-week battery life, they will be able to connect it to any place with Bluetooth, which means they’ll be able to read on-the-go. Associate Editor Sydney Meister got a chance to the Kindle Paperwhite some time ago and noted that it transformed her workflow. “One of the standout features of the Kindle Scribe is its ability to convert handwritten notes to text. I often take handwritten notes during meetings or while brainstorming ideas, and with the Kindle, I can select a notebook, tap the “Share” button, and choose “Convert to text and email.” This feature is incredibly useful,” she writes, adding, “My favorite part, however, however, is the suite of organizational tools. I can create to-do lists using a variety of templates, including lists and calendars, to keep track of daily tasks.”

For the Vintage Music Lover

14. Uncommon Goods Build Your Own Bluetooth and FM Radio

Uncommon Goods

If your giftee is a “tinkerer,” they might get a kick out of building their own Bluetooth radio. With this kit, all they have to do is follow the instructions, and once assembled, there will be an FM tuner, USB aux cable ports, and Bluetooth technology to connect their phones and mobile devices to for the ultimate vintage radio experience.

For the Artist

15. Idyllic CreativeCo Custom Watercolor Portrait

Idyllic CreativeCo

Got an art-loving giftee? This affordable original piece of art is the route to go, as you can take a favorite picture of their's and turn it into a personalized water color portrait. Here is how it works—the frame is hand-painted on paper, scanned to provide printable files and printed on a special cotton paper (which can they put into a frame) that makes it a unique addition to any living or bedroom.

For the Jewelry Lover

16. Capucine De Wulf Mermaid Garden Hoop Earrings

Capucine De Wolf

Associate SEO Editor Marissa Wu just checked out a Capucine De Wulf jewelry preview, and came back raving about these golden hoop earrings. “I love Capucine De Wulf! All of her jewelry is so exquisite, and I’m particularly in love with the mother of pearl floral motifs and the 18k gold on brass. It’s an instantly timeless piece.”

For the Gamer

17. Logitech POP Wireless Key and Mouse

Logitech

Compatible with all tablets and available in tons of cool color palettes, this keyboard features interchangeable emoji keys that allow kids to emote with just a single tap. Both modern and functional, consider this an easy way for your kid to start diving into the world of tech.

For the Decorator

18. Birthdate Candles

Birthdate Co.

Personalized and inclusive, this candle combines astrology, numerology and tarot all-in-one. It boasts a plethora of 5-star reviews, and creates a fragrance that matches the fragrance of your recipient based on the day they were born. I’ll give it bonus points for being under $50 as well.

A Sentimental Gift

19. How My Dog Saved Christmas Personalized Book

Uncommon Goods

The dog lover in your life will also appreciate getting a personalized dog book, which allows you to add their pup as the main character of the story. All you have to do is put in their name and select what breed they are, then choose whether you want a hard or soft cover. After that, you’re all good to go. Just make sure you get all the information correct as once the book enters production the details can’t be changed.

For the Party Thrower

20. Tamara Wood Arts Custom Charcuterie Board

Tamara Wood

You can always gift a charcuterie board, which is a fan favorite for the giftee that loves to play host or hostess. This one is made with two slide-out drawers and holds four different premium knives full of different sizes and shapes, giving a new meaning to the word “curation.”

Don’t these just look like heaven? They feel like heaven too according to buyers, one of whom raves, “I have only worn these once, but I had them on all day and were so comfortable and warm. I received many compliments. My only wish is that the same style was offered in the women’s Tasman. But if you are thinking about buying these, don’t hesitate to treat yourself and your feet.” Available in three different colors, it is recommended you size up to ensure they fit perfectly.

For the Person Who is Always Cold

22. Quince Mongolian Cashmere Wrap

Quince

Beloved by PureWow readers for its versatility and comfort, this one-size-fits-all wrap is crafted with Mongolian cashmere and provides warmth no matter where your giftee is headed. Best of all, it has great layering potential as it can either be the focal point or complimentary accessory to whatever they’re wearing.

A Thoughtful Gift

23. Mejuri Round Topaz Necklace

Mejuri

If you’re looking for signature pieces that can be rocked every day, look no further than Mejuri, a brand that is dedicated to making fine jewelry that fits easily into your lifestyle. I’ve got my eye on this Round Topaz necklace, which is handcrafted in 18k gold vermeil, and completed by a round cut topaz gemstone for the finishing touch. Simple, yet still gorg (and less than $100).

An Affordable Cleaning Supply

24. Kitchenaid Cordless Vacuum

KitchenAid

Curtis also recommends getting this cordless vac as a gift for the holidays. “This vacuum is a Jennifer Garner fav. It’s super compact, entirely cordless and incredibly convenient for cleaning hard-to-reach spaces. It makes cleaning, especially the kitchen, a breeze. Did flour get everywhere while you were baking? Not a problem. Coffee grounds stuck between the tiles? Easy.”

A Self-Care Gift

25. Flick Vibrator Ring

Flick

Senior Editor Dana Dickey suggests this vibrator ring for a little personal stimulation this holiday season. “I’m amused by his $64 ring that's actually a personal stimulation device...I think it's the perfect ‘stocking stuffer’ and also a way to introduce vibrators into your relationship if your partner is a little bashful (or as a bridal shower gift).” Adjustable and quiet, it comes in two different colors.

For the Scented Candle Enthusiast

26. Ranavat Jasmine Candle

Ranavat

Yohay says this beautiful candle is “no ordinary one” compared to the rest. “This...is no ordinary candle. I first fell in love with Ranavat's signature jasmine scent through its haircare products, and when I discovered this candle, all bets were off. The packaging is STUNNING—I get a dopamine hit every time I look at the gorgeous purple glass holder. And the scent is warm, soothing and downright lovely. It's become my go-to housewarming/hostess/just-because gift and I plan on wrapping up a few for the holidays this year as well. It feels luxe and high end without totally breaking the bank. Perfect for your sister, best friend, mother-in-law and beyond.”

For the Makeup Lover

27. Tarte Maracura Juicy Lip Collectors Set

Tarte

Yohay also recommends this lip collectors set for any makeup lover. “This is also a great option for any Sephora-obsessed tween/teen/millennial/me lol. Tarte's Marajuca lip products have taken TikTok by storm, and this gift set includes a number of its best sellers in a few versatile shades. It's a $252 value gift for just under $100...that's a steal. Just call me the cool auntie!”

For the Person Who Loses Everything

28. Frances Valentine Bitsy Key Pouch

Frances Valentine

I’ve come to the decision that I need a small pouch within my bigger bags/pouches in order to truly be organized, and I’m in love with this itty bitty one from Frances Valentine. Not only is it adorable, it also holds all of your cards seamlessly. The pink is my fancy, but there are three other colors to choose from if you are looking for something different.

A Gift for Lazy Days

29. Glerups Slip-On

Glerups

Once upon a time I chose heels, nowadays I choose comfortable shoes that I can easily walk around in all day. I recently added these slip-on shoes to my lineup, which are as cozy as they are stylish. I love how they’re made with natural wool in the upper (they smell amazing), and the rubber outsole provides a solid amount of grip and traction that makes them easy to walk in. These will work for anybody who loves comfort such as myself.

For the Person Who's Phone Is Always Dying

30. Lion Trek Eclipse Mag

Lion Energy

A wireless charger is an essential item at this point, and this bad boy gives you the 3-in-1 special with a wireless USB charger, earbuds and watch plus USB devices. The charge is quick and powerful and cordless, eliminating the hassle that comes with wires. It also makes for a handy traveling companion if I say so myself.
