2012 Gift Guide: $25 and Under

http://assets4.designsponge.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/under25_2.jpg I love finding gifts, but finding just the first gift sure can be a headache when under pressure. We have lots of gift guides lined up — one scheduled every day for the next two and a half weeks — to help you find the perfect thing for everyone on your list. We're starting the week with our "under $25 gift guide." I've found 50 under $25 gifts sure to please someone on your list! The key to giving any gift is to really think of the recipient, and that's definitely the case with the budget gift. You want to give a little something that brings a smile, which means giving something thoughtful and also thinking about the packaging. So if, for example, you give the little pot guard below, you could also include your favorite soup recipe. Or give the earbuds above along with a mix. It's the little touches that make even the smallest gifts really special. — Amy Azzarito Image above, clockwise from left: Glitter Tart Server, $22 | Mason Jar Sippers, $4 | Tinkering Notebook, $12 | Fortune Cookie Box, $25 | Delfonics for Top Hats Pen, $10 | A Chuckle a Day Container, $24.99 (fill it with a favorite candy for a little pick-me-up!) | Monica Toiletry Bag, $19.90 | DVF Vintage Collection Earbuds, $25 | Lilac Rouge, $22 | Gold Sparkler Star Bobby Pin, $18 | Up in the Air Somewhere Tiny Gold Lip Dish, $18 Image above, clockwise from left: Grass & Twig Birdhouse, $24 | Fig + Yarrow Mustard Soak, $10 (for aching muscles) | Cherry Wood Compass, $24 | Olivewood Mini Cup and Spoon, $20 | Natural Bath Sponge (with floating wooden ducky), $22 | Studded Key Chain, $12 | Wooden Salad Servers, $16.90 | Huset Pot Guard, $7 (there is also an owl and moose) (also available here) | Ornamental Paper Clips, $7 | Baggu Wedge Pouch, $16 | Heart Box, $18 | Leather Wrapped Flashlight, $14.99 See all 50 "$25 and under" gift suggestions after the jump . . .
