From a Barefoot Dreams Blanket to a Crock-Pot Lunch Box, I Just Found The Best Secret Santa Gifts Under $50

ICYMI, Google recently released its top 100 gifts for 2024—and at the very top of the list is “record player,” with searches for “turntable” up 50 percent this year. Enter: this mini retro speaker from Crosley, la crème de la crème of record players, at under $20. Boasting the brand’s signature, vintage-inspired design—and fit with updated functionality like Bluetooth and hands-free calling—it’s small enough to fit in a bag or hang on a backpack with its carry strap. The three-watt sound is not only perfect for a music-loving coworker or Spotify-obsessed Gen Zer but the battery also offers up to eight hours of uninterrupted listening—and it charges in less than two hours flat.  

This belt bag is a PureWow reader fave for good reason: It’s the holy grail of everyday accessories. Compact yet deceptively roomy, its one-liter capacity holds all the essentials—phone, keys, wallet and, of course, lip gloss (because priorities). Made from water-repellent fabric that’s easy to spot-clean, it’s the perfect companion for coffee runs, weekend hikes and airport sprints. Bonus: The adjustable strap lets you wear it crossbody or around your waist, and with a rainbow of trendy colors to choose from, you’ll find one to match her every vibe.

The 53-millimeter lenses also provide 100 percent UV protection while adjustable nonslip nose pads ensure a secure, comfortable fit. Oh, and did I mention they’re prescription-compatible? Win-win.

If you’ve been scrolling TikTok lately, you’ve probably seen these Icon Glasses from Anthropologie. Each glass is handblown and adorned with hand-pressed beaded details, making them as much a statement piece as they are functional drinkware. They’re available in 17 playful designs (think cherries, bows and chili peppers), making them a great vessel for spiked cinnamon lattes or sugar cookie martinis. To that end, while they’re not made for hot drinks, they’re undeniably charming and designed to turn everyday moments into something special. 

Here, an office upgrade your coworker will wish they had sooner. With its 20-ounce capacity, this portable Crock-Pot is perfect for heating up leftovers, soup or a cozy chili right at their desk.

Alexa becomes their virtual assistant with this device, where they can set timers, check the weather and even control smart devices—like thermostats and light switches—with voice commands. “It alerts us when someone is at the door. It can turn lights on and off if you use smart bulbs. It also connects to the thermostat, which comes in handy on very cold mornings—you can tell Alexa to turn on the heat without leaving the comfort of your warm bed,” one reviewer raves. Not to mention that its updated design features improved audio quality to deliver clearer vocals and deeper bass, making it perfect for music, podcasts, audiobooks—you name it. 

Why did these eye masks score 95 points out of 100 in a PureWow100 review? Each little golden patch is infused with hyaluronic acid, sea moss and amino acids to reduce puffiness, brighten dark circles and keep that delicate under-eye area hydrated. As PureWow’s Beauty and Cultures Editor Chelsea Candelario says, “They’re an energy drink for your eyes.” Plus, they’re easy to use—just pop them on for 15 to 20 minutes whenever you need a pick-me-up, then peel them off and relish in your newly refreshed state. 

This Barefoot Dreams throw is the it blanket for a reason—celebs like Chrissy Teigen, Khloé Kardashian and Hailey Bieber swear by it (and so do PureWow editors). The ribbed knit feels buttery-soft, stretches to six feet and stays pill-free even after countless washes. Take it from PureWow Senior Editor Dana Dickey, who says, “Unlike other throws I’d picked up at HomeGoods, the Barefoot Dreams blanket is generously sized at [45 by 60] inches and doesn’t fray or catch on buttons or doorknobs.” PureWow Executive Managing Editor Catrina Yohay agrees, adding, “It’s soft, warm and lightweight…100 percent worth the price.” The best part is that it’s available in two cozy neutral tones—Beach Rock-Cream and Moonbeam-Pearl—with a classic striped design that adds a subtle, modern touch.

You’ve seen this tumbler everywhere for good reason. Thanks to its double-walled, vacuum insulation, it keeps up to 40 ounces of liquid cold for nearly two days or hot for up to seven hours—and it’s dishwasher-friendly.

Plus, aside from nine colorways to choose from, it’s designed to fit in your car’s cupholder and comes with a screw-on lid that can be used in three resting positions (see: this TikTok). Just be sure to hurry up and snag one now because the tumbler is notorious for selling out during gifting season.

First and foremost, it’s rechargeable with 15 blends per charge—and it fully charges in just one hour and 40 minutes. Plus, it comes with a removable lid, so you can drink directly from it. One reviewer raves, “This is literally a GAME CHANGER. [I] was using a handheld mixer for my greens/protein shakes, and they’d always be so clumpy and it was awful getting them down. This BlendJet works perfectly, and my shakes are so smooth with zero clumps… Blends so smooth, easy to pack and take on go, easy to clean and so convenient to charge when on the go.”

This ultra-soft brushed scarf is the winter accessory everyone needs. Available in timeless colors like black, grey, heather camel and dark evening, it pairs effortlessly with any outfit while keeping them warm.

As one reviewer notes, “This can be a scarf or a blanket. It is super warm and doesn’t irritate my skin at all.” Indeed, it’s generously sized for wrapping or draping, making it a versatile pick for bundling up on chilly days.

While we’re on the topic of hobbies and interests—this electric wine opener will be a home run for anyone who’s obsessed with wine (and uses words like “tannins” and “terroir” at dinner). The sleek, ergonomic design removes corks in six seconds flat and can open up to 50 bottles on a single charge. It also includes a built-in rechargeable battery, a foil cutter, a 2-in-1 aerator and pourer to enhance flavors and two vacuum stoppers to keep unfinished wine fresh.

Yet another wardrobe staple PureWow readers can’t get enough of? This cashmere-blend V-neck sweater from Quince, which pairs the softness of cashmere with the breathability of organic cotton. The ribbed details on the cuffs, hem and neckline add a polished touch, while its six versatile shades (ranging from heather grey to olive) offer plenty of styling options. It’s also designed for year-round wear, where it’s lightweight enough to layer but cozy enough to wear solo. “The lightweight mix of cotton and cashmere works perfectly in Houston where we just don’t get really cold. It would also work very well as a layer if you live somewhere with colder weather,” one shopper says.

There’s a reason why Laneige’s sleeping mask tends to sell like hotcakes come winter: “It offers intense moisture all through the night, but doesn’t feel overly tacky or greasy,” says Chelsea Candelario, PureWow Beauty and Cultures Editor, in a PureWow100 review. And with this limited-edition duo, they’ll get the cult-favorite sleeping mask (in Peppermint) with a full-size Lip Glowy Balm in candy cane, delivering round-the-clock hydration.
