33 Unique Gifts Under $25 For That Person Who Never Knows What They Want

I can guarantee they probably maybe don't have any of these, but totally want them.

1. A quirky clay earring set that would make Ms. Frizzle so proud.

2. A hydroponic glass planter so they can always have a little spot on their desk for some greenery. Plus, it's just a wicked cool piece.

3. A pair of crew socks that honestly just speak to me (and probably your introvert friend) on a physical, mental, and emotional level.

4. A beautiful suncatcher that will not only shine beautiful rainbows into their home, but will bring the ~magic~ they've been missing from their yearly Disney trips.

5. A light-up word clock for that friend whose idea of a fun time is doing the NYT crossword puzzle. I just think this gives off the same vibe: wordy, elite, and also probably makes you cry (totally kidding).

6. An embroidered floral headband to help them start their new plans of running away to a cottage in the woods with their pet deer and chickens.

7. A cute mug for when they love fall, but *hate* cliché fall-related things. You can never go wrong with a fox, though.

8. Light saber chopsticks so they can eat their favorite takeout in utter *style*. May the wasabi not be way too spicy for them.

9. A random yet necessary screaming goat figurine they can press any time they need to relieve some stress or annoy their coworkers. I choose the latter. Every time.

10. A sleeping eye mask with built-in Bluetooth headphones that will allow them to listen to their favorite sleep sounds with no disruptions, like their partner's snoring.

11. A keychain book so they can bring their love of books everywhere they go. I'll take The Little Prince, thanks.

12. A fill-in-the-blank book to express your love when sometimes it feels a little difficult to do so.

13. A fidget ring they can play around with during times when they're feeling anxious or nervous. It's inconspicuous *and* they don't have to get more anxious worrying that it's distracting people around them.

14. A set of chicken nugget-inspired soaps for that person who just ~really~ loves delicious fast food bites. Bonus points if you find a lotion that looks like BBQ sauce.

15. Concrete catchall dishes that will give them a hand (I'll stop) at holding their rings or little trinkets.

16. An essential oil diffuser that allows them to add drops of their absolutely favorite essential oil to the felt pads and have their car smelling amazing the second the AC blows through the vents, minimizing the smell of old fast food.

17. An adult coloring book to fill out during their mental breaks to destress, recenter themselves, and bring a bit of fun to their mundane workday.

18. A starry night stake so beautiful, they'll think they've captured the moon itself and placed it in their garden.

19. A rotating timer so they can try out the Pomodoro technique and see if this is the hidden key to finally making them productive at work. You basically work for 25 minutes, take a small break, repeat until you finish all of your work!

20. An initial necklace to show off their love for Disney everywhere they go, even when they can't visit their favorite place on Earth.

21. A toothpaste cap that is a bit cheeky (okay, now I'll really stop) but I can guarantee it will make them laugh every time they brush their teeth.

22. A scrapbook perfect for anyone who is a fan of the movie Up. I still cry thinking about the opening scene. This could be them. *sobs*

The book

23. A container of capsule messages filled with cute little notes for them to open at random moments of their lives for a little pick-me-up. Alexa, play "Message in a Bottle."

24. A coffee cup holder so they no longer have to juggle their phone, wallet, keys, *and* drink on their way to work. Plus, it's just so darn cute!

25. An enamel pin that finally celebrates the one task they're exceptionally good at, but are too nervous to put under "Skills" on their resume. Don't be shy. Write it down.

26. A cheeky candle that will remind them that all they do is, indeed, win.

27. A travel mug for that person who is just a huge fan of Dachshunds *and* Harry Potter. Yer a wiener, Harry.

28. A glass coffee mug for when they're feeling like having an *extra* fancy cup of joe one morning.

29. A chalkboard ceramic mug so every morning when you make them a cup of coffee you can write a cute little note. "Let's order pizza tonight." Ahh, music to my ears.

30. A coffee mug warmer with three heat settings and an auto shutoff feature so they never have to worry about taking a sip of their coffee and realize it's gone cold. AKA the worst feeling ever.

31. Reusable silicone straws for guzzling down their favorite iced coffee with *sustainability* in mind. You know what makes these really unique though? Snap closures! This means they can open the straws in half to ensure they got all the gunk out! Just give 'em a good wipe down. No more "cleaning" brushes required.

32. A quirky magnetic bookmark that truly exemplifies how they feel about their ever-growing collection of rom-coms. Give me all the tropes. All of them.

33. And finally, scratch-off sticky notes because regular Post-its are boooring. These baddies will become more colorful with every scratch!

You, giving these amazing gifts to your friend:
