    Just 36 Gifts Under $20 You'll Be Tempted To Buy Almost Immediately

    Because you've got approx. 2.5 weeks to scratch everyone off your list, guys 😬

    1. A set of nostalgic NES cartridge coasters that'll bring your giftee back to their simple childhood days when they spent hourssss playing Super Mario Bros. and Donkey Kong in their mom's basement.

    Promising review: "Everyone talks about them and wants them! This has been an amazing gift! Something simple and not expensive to just surprise someone else. The size seems perfect for all kind of drinks and so far they don’t seem to be getting ruined by the water so they are perfect! I had recommended them for friends as they keep asking where I got them." —Isaira

    2. A pair of prism spectacles for the recipient who always has a boatload of work to get done but just can't drag themselves out of bed... Now, they can still clock in or finish that essay they've been dragging their feet on without even sitting upright.

    Promising review: "I didn't know what I was missing until I used this. My life is now complete. If you enjoy comfort and lazy binge-watching but don't care how ridiculous you look wearing these, then you have found Nirvana. My glasses fit in these just fine. Takes a minute to get used to, then it becomes your reason to live. Expect people to laugh at you, but forgive them for they know not what they are missing." —Michael Boyd

    3. An initial pendant on a box chain if they want to keep their boo close at heart. Or, actually, their dog — I'd probably want one for my dog.

    Promising review: "Legit the cutest, most affordable, and trendiest necklace I own. I am very impressed with the quality for the price. I haven’t had it very long, but I can see this lasting for me for a long time as long as I take care of it." —KaLea Keefer

    5. A wine/can holder because sometimes, a bath bomb just isn't enough. Real ones know that true R&R involves a chilled glass of sickly sweet Barefoot attached securely to their shower wall — not perched precariously on the lip of their tub.

    7. And a bottle of plant-based cuticle oil if their nails have been hurting from recent cold weather. The natural formula hydrates dry skin and strengthens nails so they can work on growing them out, if that's something they've always dreamt of doing!

    Promising review: "This product... There is so much I can say. I’ve used so many other cuticle oils, and they’ve only kept them oily and smooth for about two hours... This stuff not only smells like heaven, but it’s a HUGE bottle for the price, which was the first perk.... Then I used It for my own manicures and OMG. My cuticles were still smooth the next day when I went to work. It not only softened them, but helped the dry skin on the areas that it got on. The smell is wonderful. I’ve been putting it on at night before bed, and it lasts ALL DAY the next day. About a week of use so far, and I’ve had at least two people ask me how my cuticles look like they do, and did I JUST get a manicure?! NOPE! It’s this stuff. I swear I would buy stock in it if I could." —Whitney Bryant

    Promising review: "This dino chicken nugget pillow is a real Jurassic dream come true!

    Amazon

    Promising review: "I ordered this lamp because of its appearance. I didn't NEED a depressed duck lamp ... but it has totally filled a void in my life I didn't know existed. Everyone who sees it pokes it. The lamp is actually very functional. It's got a really nice set of brightness options and the glow is yellowish, which is much nicer than white in a dim/dark room. One thing that isn't mentioned in the description is that its legs are utterly floppy. It's terrific." —Literated

    11. A handheld milk frother with a faux-wood or -marble finish that does cartwheels around its plain plastic competitors. No moving this gadget out of frame when they take an aesthetic IG shot!

    Amazon

    Just don't forget to buy some AA batteries at the same time, or who knows when you'll actually get around to using it.

    Promising review: "Great little frother! I love the wood grain aesthetic, much prettier than your average random plastic color kitchen appliance. Makes a very frothy beverage so it’s equally stylish and useful. Keep in mind batteries not included so make sure you have two AAs!" —Nashvillian

    The delish treats come from Medley Hills Farm — a family-owned and operated small business based in Ohio.

    13. A strawberry Pocky AirPod case that's not only an *incredibly* perfect shade of pink, but also functionally sound as it makes it much easier to track down their headphones in the black hole that is their errand-running tote bag.

    Promising review: "As someone who loses stuff easily, like my last set of AirPods, it's super nice to have something with a noticeable thickness and be super cute at the same time! Everything fits perfect for the case, I simply slipped it on with no signs of wiggling or sliding off. 10/10 recommend for a gift and self accessory ☆." —Jordan

    14. A good ol' game of Cat-Opoly for the board game nerd who's also o.b.s.e.s.s.e.d. with their cat. The game works like classic Monopoly except properties are out and rare breeds (see: abyssinians, tonkineses, and Turkish vans) are in.

    Promising review: "Very entertaining! We gave this to our neighbors on Christmas Eve and they loved it. We played it that night. I love the unique metal playing pieces and cute game cards. The graphics are good and the board laid flat even though it was split and folded in quarters. It was a good buy!" —French Toast

    15. A simply genius beard bib they can throw on and suction cup to their bathroom mirror when it's time for a trim because no matter how good of a clean they give their vanity after, they WILL find sharp lil' hairs on their bar soap, in their toothbrush, and all up in the drain, too.

    Amazon

    Promising review: "Finally bought this for my husband and I’m not sure why I waited so long. He would always shave over a towel, ball the towel up to 'clean it up when he got home from work,' forget to tell me, and then I’d see it on the bathroom floor or counter, pick it up to throw it in the washer (unaware of what surprise was inside), and beard hair would go EVERYWHERE. My husband can fully shave and then he basically has a full beard again three days later, so this happened more times than I’d like to admit. PEOPLE, DO YOURSELVES A FAVOR AND BUY THIS NOW!" —Ashley Flaga

    16. The Book of Unusual Knowledge for that one friend who always answers Jeopardy! questions before Alex Trebek/Mayim Bialik/Ken Jennings even finishes speaking.

    Promising review: "My best friend is always telling me new facts about the most random things so when I saw this, I knew it had to be added to his bookshelf. And let me tell you the list of random facts keeps on coming. Yeah, yeah, I know... the internet... but sometimes it’s nice to disconnect from technology and read a real book. Couldn’t be happier with this purchase." —Gregory

    17. A nutrient-rich, banana-scented overnight mask that comes in delightfully realistic packaging and smells EXACTLY like a Laffy Taffy. Say what you want, but banana candy is supreme.

    First thing is first, I *so* wish you could scratch and sniff the photo above. I just started using this and TBH, I absolutely ordered it because it was cute. That said, I was already a big fan of Tonymoly products so I figured why not. Not only is it exceptionally fun looking, but it smells incredible and works really well on my dry skin. While it's definitely thick, it also doesn't leave me greasy which other products have. Basically, if your friend likes banana-scented things and could use some extra hydration, it's a great gift!

    19. A luggage-mounted cup caddy if your giftee is a frequent traveler and coffee is always HIGH on their list of airport priorities.

    Promising review: "This cup holder is perfect! It helps me a lot! Last time I took a plane with a suitcase and a cup of coffee, I dropped and spilled my drink everywhere when it was my turn to check my passport and ticket. It was a nightmare! This time, I bought this cup holder to do me a favor! I don't have to worry about where my cup and phone are! I can free my hands to do other things. I love it so much! Hope you love it too." —Philip

    Promising review: "For the money you can’t beat 'em! These look amazing on my face — like a $300 pair of sunglasses. I have tried multiple pairs and this brand looks and feels comparable to pairs from Ray-Ban or Prada. I have a smaller face and to me this pair fits the best, perfect for my nose and brow line. I couldn’t be happier, just wish there were 6 stars so everyone would know how amazing they are. If you are questioning whether or not they will look as good on you as they do in the photos, yes...yes, they do." —Christina

    21. Or a pair of '70s-style yellow tinted aviators they can get away with on days that are really too overcast for sunglasses but they complete their fit, so they're a nonnegotiable. 

    Promising review: "Obsessed with these! They fit perfectly and suit my face shape really well. I’ve been wearing them every day since I got them, and I don’t usually wear sunglasses because sometimes they distract me, lol, but these don’t. The lenses are a beautiful yellow color, they’re clear and wide, and like I said, they’re very comfortable including the nose area (I know that can be a problem with glasses for many), and I hardly notice I have them on most of the time. I have received many compliments, too, which is nice to hear! If you’re considering getting these, GET THEM. YOU WON'T REGRET THEM!!!" —Gabby

    Promising review: "I have trichotillomania and really love these little guys. They help refocus my habit and the pull is very satisfying and realistic. I've had to repurchase already, and I'll reorder more in the future. Can't recommend these enough, as I've been searching for this type of tool for a long time." —Danika Hill

    Emma Lord / BuzzFeed, Amazon

    Here's more from BuzzFeed shopping writer Emma Lord:

    "As you can see from the above GIF, I bought these for myself, and I love them to pieces. TBH, I use them as decor every bit as much as I use them to eat. Sometimes I just keep them in my work area to light them up during the day to feel fancy. They toggle back and forth between a bunch of different colors, like red, blue, yellow, purple, and multicolor, so you can either make them match *or* have a red and blue one together and bring ~balance~ to the Force."

    Promising review: "I purchased these for a friend's birthday present (he is a sushi waiter) and these are flippin' AMAZING. I ordered two sets by mistake, but I am totally keeping the second pair for another gift (or for myself!). These are sure to be great conversation pieces and attention-getters. Way to go!" —T.

    Emma Lord/BuzzFeed

    My colleague Emma Lord has one of these babies and says: 

    "UMMMM I bought this because it was on one of Amazon's top-selling products pages for so long that I was like 'Why are people so obsessed with this moon!!' And now, my friends, I know. First of all, it really does look hyper realistically like a small moon and adds a chill vibe wherever you plant it. But it's also just so soothing to watch and have in the periphery. You can control dozens of different colors for it and either keep it on those colors or have them alternate, fade quickly, or fade gradually. It's super easy to charge and controlled by a remote, so you can move it off its stand and have it light up wherever you want. These days I tend to turn it on for my designed ~me time~ night every week, in which I will light a candle, pour a glass of red wine, read a romance novel, and, of course, light my lil' moon. Definitely one of my favorite 'the internet made me do it' purchases."

    Promising reviews: "For starters, the package is so adorable and cute. I truly love them. Some people are saying they don’t get rid of your pimples, they just make them smaller, but my experience is totally different. They not only make my pimples smaller, but they completely get rid of them and they stop me from picking at my skin. Again everyone's skin is different and I’m not getting paid to write this but these help me feel beautiful and comfortable in my own skin. 🫶🏼🤍" —Paola Valcarcel

    Promising review: "I got these glasses for my brother who is incredibly hard to shop for. He's very...particular. I wouldn't have gotten him regular whiskey glasses as I'm sure he has some, but two of these are a set that he could have out for decoration even if he rarely used them. They're very well-made. The etching is clear and the glass is thick and durable. Looking forward to seeing his reaction." —Overthinking Gifter
