The Verge’s Favorite Holiday Gifts Under $50
As the holiday season approaches, we’ve compiled a list of our most beloved and highly-recommended gifts that won’t break the bank. You don’t have to spend a fortune on something thoughtful for your loved ones (or yourself!). In fact, some of the best gifts can be found under $50.
This year’s selection includes a Meross Garage Door Remote, which makes it easy to control an existing garage door opener using either your voice or the app. It also comes with HomeKit compatibility and support for over 1,600 different models. At just $39.99, it’s an affordable yet thoughtful gift that will make a huge impact.
Another standout item is Owala’s FreeSip Water Bottle. This stainless steel vessel boasts impressive insulation capabilities, keeping drinks at the perfect temperature for up to 24 hours. Plus, it comes with two spouts: one for sipping and another for a big swig. The collapsible handle is just the icing on the cake.
For those who enjoy some digital downtime, we recommend Stardew Valley, an addictive farm simulator that’s received rave reviews. With the recent 1.6 patch adding new features like multiplayer support and late-game content, there’s never been a better time to jump in. At $14.99, it’s an affordable way to gift someone with hours of fun.
If you’re looking for something more practical, consider Mueller’s Immersion Blender Stick. This handheld powerhouse is perfect for soups, sauces, and everything in between. It also comes with an eight-speed blender and detachable whisk, making it a gift that will be used time and again.
These are just a few of our top picks under $50. Whether you’re looking to gift someone a unique experience or something truly useful, there’s no need to break the bank.
