    32 Gifts Under $20 That Look Like They Cost A Lot More

    "You shouldn't have spent so much."

    1. A cosmetic mirror with 360° rotation that functions as a gorgeous piece of decor, jewelry storage, and the perfect makeup tool. Get ready to feel like straight royalty every time you swipe on your $4 drugstore lipstick whilst staring back at your reflection.

    2. An eyeshadow palette packed with matte, shimmer, and metallic glitter shades so blendable and pigmented, they'll assume you dropped a ton of $$$ and will feel *almost* too guilty to accept it.

    3. A layered infinity necklace to imply that you love them to infinity and beyond. (In fact, you love them *almost* as much as you love the entire Toy Story franchise.)

    4. Champagne flutes perfect for that at-home brunch they plan on hosting this month. The double-walled design guarantees a consistently chilled, condensation-less mimosa while the sturdy borosilicate glass won't feel as if it can be crushed by a firm grip.

    5. A 2020 week and monthly planner designed with an inner pocket, pen holder, thick paper, and faux leather cover that makes it look like a product purchased from some high-end boutique. Spoiler alert: It wasn't. But they don't have to know that.

    6. A Takeya cold brew maker with an airtight lid and stainless steel filter that will keep their coffee fresh for up to two weeks. "No more having to wake up extra early to stop for cold brew at that expensive coffee shop," they'll say to their reflection in the mirror, heart jittering as they sip their 15th cup of cold brew for the day.

    7. A geometric tray with four interchangeable and stackable pieces that look like they were sourced from a modern art museum. Plus, these gorgeous pieces of art (ART, I tell ya) are perfect for everything from jewelry storage to breakfast in bed.

    8. A Corkcicle glass set to guarantee that their whiskey stays colder than cold: we're talking ice cold. This glass includes a silicone mold to form a perfectly proportioned ice wedge that will keep their drink chilled but *not* watered down.

    9. A 15-piece set packed with brushes they'll use on the daily: an angled foundation brush, a concealer brush, an eyeshadow brush, an angled liner brush, a blush brush, and more. Plus, the marble handles are the epitome of fabulous, right up there with Sharpay Evans (an underrated queen).

    10. A ceramic set for anyone who loves gifting, but detests wrapping. This ceramic mug, lid, note card, and copper spoon come prettily packaged in a gorgeous marble box to ensure you won't need tape or scissors anytime soon.

    11. A digital watch that's high quality minus the high price tag. This nifty accessory displays time and date, plus is equipped with a stopwatch and alarm functions that perhaps they won't snooze through (*cough* unlike their iPhone every single morning).

    12. A passport wallet complete with boarding pass and card slots for the friend who has a @wanderlust Instagram account that is the envy of your friend group. (Dear friend, please take me to Paris with you?)

    13. A USB night light any recipient will ~love to the moon and back~. The lamp itself has a battery that lasts for up to ten hours and you can simply give it a tiny tap to adjust brightness and color.

    14. A hand cranked music box for anyone who would much rather be living in Paris, thank you very much. Adorned with illustrations of the Eiffel Tower and designed to play the main melody from Amélie, this feels almost as majestic as eating a baguette outside of the Louvre.

    15. A tapestry backdrop capable of transforming their Ikea furnished living room into the renowned Hogwarts library itself. Note: Restricted section not included.

    16. An Anker wireless charger that one assumes could cost upwards of several trillion dollars, but is surprisingly less than $10. This gives battery power/life to your device (think everything from AirPods to Galaxy phones) and even works through tough external cases!

    17. Computer glasses to take away the headache they get after staring at computer screens all day. These fashionable frames block out the pesky blue light seeping in from their monitor, the culprit behind mid-afternoon headaches made worse by non-stop Excel sheets and "per my last email" responses.

    18. A vintage-inspired holder capable of transforming their dirty makeup brushes into a work of decorative art. The gold detailing and white pearl touches make it seem très expensive, but you and I both know the truth.

    19. A pack of photo stickers featuring the apple of their eye: the pet of the house. Sure, you can get customized stickers of yourself! But something tells me they’d prefer adding a picture of their dachshund to the surface of her laptop in lieu of your selfie.

    20. Bliss eye masks capable of convincing the world that they did, in fact, get a solid eight hours of sleep last night. These holographic patches use an impressive blend of acetyl hexapeptide-8, sodium hyaluronate, and xylitol to reduce puffiness, smooth fine lines, and hit cancel on all dark circles.

    21. A matcha tea set complete with a bamboo whisk, scoop, and spoon to upgrade the taste (and the ritual of consuming) their favorite caffeinated beverage.

    22. TSLA leggings comparable to bottoms from much more expensive brands. Not only are these high-waisted leggings super comfortable, but they've also got pockets and aren't see-through — which means your friend will be able to where these *without* having to worry that the world can see their underwear.

    23. Tiered chandelier earrings that have the witchy ability to turn unintentionally ripped jeans and a wrinkled white tee into an ensemble suitable for champagne and caviar feasts.

    24. A Dash rapid cooker that will take the ~hard~ work out of their morning egg-based breakfast routine. For a gift that is both useful and seems like it would cost a million bucks, this handy gadget is it.

    25. A macrame mirror they can add to any nook and cranny of their home and BAM! It suddenly looks as if they've been featured on an HGTV renovation show or, at the very least, hired an interior decorator.

    26. LED curtain string lights for folks who prefer dim ~mood~ lighting while spending their Friday night bingeing the newest Netflix original. Why go outside when you can stay inside, am I right?

    27. A five-piece measuring spoon set to give their kitchen that air of "I only bake from scratch". These gorgeous copper spoons are both magnetic and stackable, meaning they'll become almost impossible to lose one of 'em in the mess that is their kitchen.

    28. A stretchy velvet cami that is IT. And by IT, I mean that this is the perfect ~going out~ top they'll be able to layer under a leather jacket. The days of them cancelling on you last minute ("I have nothing to wear!") are officially long gone.

    29. A mini skillet that looks like part of a larger, more expensive cookware set featured on many a bridal shower registry. This is large enough to make their favorite meal but small enough to easily store away, is perfect for cooking for a party of one, and won't take up their entire sink when they don't feel like washing it right away.

    30. Copper cups sure to delight all the Moscow Mule connoisseurs in your life.

    31. A fluffy throw they can ~throw~ over a chair or on the floor for an instant dose of luxury. Who gave them a present that cost upwards of $100? You! *wink*
