We all have a loved one who never wants any fuss. “Don’t buy me anything,” they say. But you know them better than that. The trick is to get something that doesn’t cost much, just to show you’re thinking of them. They don’t want to be lavished with expensive stuff, but they do like to feel appreciated. The best way to pick a gift that shows your affection is to choose something that matches your giftee’s interests. Here, we’ve picked 25 items for gifting, each of them under $25. This holiday season, you can make a statement without making a fuss.
Be sure to check out our many other gift guides, including Gift Subscriptions for Kids, and Gifts for Outdoorsy People.
