One of the most awkward moments that a friendship will have to endure will happen when it comes time to give gifts. There are plenty of friends out there who “always forget” to give a gift, or “don’t have enough money” this time of year, or whatever else their excuse might be. But because you don’t want to be that person, you always go out of your way to get something really amazing in return.

To make sure that you don’t end up continuing to get great gifts for others who don’t return the favor, the best way continue on is to set a budget for yourself. A fair number is $25, as you can get some great gifts for within that budget. At the same time, $25 won’t break the bank and it’s a price point that you can live with.

Here are some great gifts that you can get for under $25, that will make it look like you spent a lot more than you did.

At-Home Manicure Set

Granted your male friends may not enjoy this gift as much, but an at-home manicure set is ideal for the friend who works too hard and doesn’t give themselves enough attention. Going to the spa can be expensive, and it can be a bit impression to get someone a gift card. Therefore, an at-home manicure set is the perfect middle ground.

Bottle Of Wine

For those that are over the legal drinking age, a bottle of wine is a nice gesture that you can give your friends. You can also go out of your way to experiment with new bottles of wine, in the event that you don’t know what your friends like. And in the event that they don’t return a gift to you, then you can just keep the wine for yourself.

Scented Candle

A scented candle is another great present that you can find for under $25. Even though candles smell great and can liven up a room, they are still something that most people won’t purchase for themselves. That’s why it’s great to have friends like you, who purchase these kind of things.

Socks

Socks used to be the present that your grandparents would get you because they didn’t know what else you liked. Now socks come in all colors, patterns, and designs, and they can be an cool style statement that you friends will love to wear.

Getting a gift for someone else is rarely any fun. If you need a bit of helping getting something that you know they’ll love, consider the great gift options for under $25 listed here.
