You've still got time to get some fancy gifts — without spending a fortune.
Get a set of eight (plus a cleaning brush) from Amazon for $7.97 (also available in black).
Promising review: "I only have one left. Every time we went out to eat people would ask about them and I would give them one. The brush is truly magical and makes it easy to keep your straws clean. The straws do get cold (due to the material) but I personally like it. The bundle also comes with a pouch making these easy to carry. Ordering the rose gold ones next." —Thrifting Diaries
Get them from Amazon for $9.99 (available in all 26 letters).
Promising review: "My mom wanted to get my brother cuff links for Christmas. We looked everywhere for initial or monogrammed. She is 95 and on a budget but wanted something nice. These were perfect. Well made, quality material. They were both pleased with the cufflinks" —Jean A. Kirby
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
Promising review: "This facial cleansing brush is everything it’s cracked up to be. I’m impressed with its ease of use, simple construction, good grip, removable soft brush head (for faster drying), the exfoliation head and how well it works. I actually look forward to spending five minutes cleansing my face with this brush. It’s fun." —Rick Richardson
Get a pair from Amazon for $7.99 (available in women's sizes 7–14/men's sizes 5–11).
Promising review: "Awesome breathable warmth and softness from this brand of sheepskin inserts. Plus, the insoles work well in my different shoe types: lace up dress shoes, winter boots, casual loafers, and ankle boots. Nice that they are all natural too. I've tried another brand that are sewn on to latex backing, but they can slip around inside your shoe and get bunched up. This brand does not! They're also handy because they are narrow enough to fit in my dressier lace up boots. Great product. Bought my first pair a couple of years ago. Will keep buying." —Jen
Get it from Amazon for $9.50 (also available in several multi-packs).
Promising review: "Don't know what the 'flavor' category means with respect to these wine bottle stoppers but the stoppers work as advertised. A local vineyard was using them in their sample room so I assumed that since a vineyard was using them, they would work as advertised and they do. You can lay a wine bottle flat and it won't leak. Nice that it filters out cork crumbs." —Lawrol
It has information with everything they need to know about rating wines, and then the pages they can fill out, including factual information, rating the sweetness and body, balance, finish, and space for general notes.

Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
Promising review: "!his thing is fantastic! i've recently gotten into shape shifting puzzles and this a great place to start from the regular 3x3. This is easily my smoothest turning puzzle. I have done probably 20 solves so far and have had no hangups or issues whatsoever. Stickers seem to be good, one is ever so slightly of center but it doesn't look like any will come off any time soon. Also it just looks awesome in both its solved state and scrambled." —john m.
It's filled with tips, tricks, five different alphabet styles, and practice pages — plus handwriting projects at the end.
Get it from Amazon for $6.99.
Promising review: "I chose this book because it says 'A Beginner's Guide,' and it is perfectly that! I do love all things font related and I've always wanted to try hand lettering. I wanted a basic foundation with lots of visuals, built-in structure, and repetition in order to get the feel for how letters are created. It is just what I was looking for. It is a well designed workbook with a beautiful feel and cover. It shows the basics of five different alphabets, plain and fun ones, to get you started and on your way to developing your own style. The last section includes ways to bring creativity and composition into your work. It doesn't promise you will become a hand lettering expert overnight, but it is sure to motivate you! I sometimes use tracing paper over the pages for even more practice space! I absolutely recommend this book to beginners. It will be a great addition to your collection. The price is right too! I'm very happy with this purchase!" —Chambers62
Yeah, you might as well buy a pair for yourself while you're at it, too.
Get them from Amazon for $8.99 each (available in 13 colors (solid, ombré, and multicolor options).
Promising review: "These are amazing! I ordered the coral ombré ones and then the black ones, and I get so many compliments. They are truly gorgeous and look much more expensive than what they actually cost!" —Ana
Get a set of five from Amazon for $9.24.
Promising review: "After seeing these type of makeup brushes plastered all over Instagram, I decided to try them out. They were cheap enough so I figured if I didn't like 'em, no harm really done. Well, I LOVE them. I haven't used my other makeup brushes or my sponge since. The two larger ones I use for liquid foundation and under-eye concealer. The largest one is also fantastic to smooth out & blend your makeup look. The three smaller ones I use to contour and highlight. These work with both powder and liquid. I also feel like these are more sanitary than the beauty blender I was using every day (though I cleaned it often). I can't believe I waited this long to try them!" —Liz
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in four colors).
Promising review: "Okay so you can go get a super nice one for $50+ or just buy this one, save a bunch of money, and get the same result! A friend of mine had one of those nice ones and I HAD to get one, how good it feels and the ease! But when I saw the price I was thinking that I’ll try a cheaper one and I am not disappointed! And my hubby is happy because I’ll give him more massages now because it doesn’t hurt my hands." —Snelso
Get it from Amazon for $9.89.
Promising review: "I like this because it adds a little something to my desk. The magnetic part works well and makes it easy to get a paperclip. I like the gold paperclips too. Very cute and not so boring. It's nice to see decorative, functional things on your desk, rather than basic office hardware. The marble is smaller than I thought, but who really wants a huge paper clip holder?" —Lovetoshop
Get it from Uniquely Bath Co. on Etsy for $8 (also available in oatmeal milk and honey, one of their bestsellers).
Promising review: "I bought this as part of a bday gift but i'm definitely going to have to get one for myself because it smells so good i almost didn't give it to her!!" —Jessica Patterson

It can help their skin absorb products better and increase circulation. And it just *feels* really great, too.
Get it from Amazon for $9.94 (also available in a rose quartz roller).
Promising review: "So far I'm really enjoying this product! Both the roller and guasha tool seem to be made out of real Jade and are high quality. I got these because my face tends to get really puffy, especially during allergy season. They come in neat a package with clear instructions. I watched several additional YouTube videos about how to use them. I used the Guasha tool once a day and go through the full routine, and the Jade roller throughout the day, while I'm working or watching TV in the evening. I've had them for a pretty short time but I feel like I'm already noticing a difference. If nothing else it's a very soothing and relaxing habit. I'd definitely recommend it to a friend or give the set as a gift in the future!" —Grace KB
It's battery operated — just run it in some soapy water for an easy cleaning!
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in five colors).
Promising review: "Love this little thing! I have every thing you can think of at home for making coffee and espresso... Well I love the Starbucks pumpkin cream cold brew with foam. I set out to make my own. Well I can now make cold foam thanks to this little tool. Love it!" —Gav's mama
They're quick-drying too, so they won't crease up or fall out!
Get them from E.l.f. for $5 each (available in 11 colors).
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
Promising review: "I wasn’t really expecting much when I bought this, most of these lights are 2-3 times higher in price. I was shocked how well this works and how much I’m enjoying using it. It takes your pictures to the next level. It charges super fast, easily clips on to your phone or tablet, has three different settings so you can decide the brightness you want by clicking a button and my eight year old daughter loves using it too! I highly recommend this!!!" —Daisy
Get a pack of three form Amazon for $7.66 (available in gold and silver).
Promising review: "They are prettier, better made, and sturdier than I'd anticipated. Neither the pearls nor the gold look cheap or gaudy. They have some flexibility to bend as needed, to both stay in the hair and have the pearls arranged (clustered or not clustered) as you prefer. By having three pins, you can place them separately as desired, or group them together for impact. Great buy. Could not find what I wanted in any local store." —Avida Reader
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
Promising review: "I work nights so sleeping in the daytime can be annoying sometimes if you can't block out all of the light. It's funny because it looks like a mini bra but it's cool because it has the deep pockets over the eyes so the material is not pressing against your eyes. It is lightweight and completely blackout. It leaves no marks on my face after sleeping. It also doesn’t shift or move out of place when I sleep even if I toss and turn.Anyway, It is very comfortable.The carry pouch is perfect to fold it away and keep it safe until you are ready to use it again." —Paulette Reed
Get them from J.Crew Factory for $9.
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (also available in gold and three black designs).
Promising review: "I worried this product may look cheap when it arrived but NOT AT ALL! :) The cards are sturdy, the faces are very clear on every card and the 'points' (suits) have a satin/spiral effect to them. I especially appreciated the face-cards. The imprint is VERY clear and high quality. They were immediately 'shuffle-able' and bended easily but were still sturdy. I also chose this deck because the back of the cards is beautiful and universal in its design." —Cynthia
Get it from Amazon for $4.25.
Promising review: "I had never bought this brand before. It's really a gorgeous notebook and looks much more expensive than it is. It bends well. (Don't you just hate those journals you can hardly pry open?) The paper is thicker than, say, a school notebook. No bleed through with ballpoint pens, though some with Sharpies." —Cynthia Sillitoe
Get it from Amazon for $7.
Promising review: "This thing is the bomb. Does exactly what it advertises; makes a thick whipped cream/foam out of washes, making it economical as well as fun. It can soften harsh washes to make the concoction gentler on skin. It's also great for mixing washes if you have two or more you'd like to combine for different effects. And of course, a little goes a long, long way with this puppy. For the price, it's a steal. Definitely give it a try if you're not sure. It's a really cool device." —Knock Knock Me
Even better if you give it with a plant already inside!
Get it from Amazon for $9.98 (or a pack of two for $16.98).
Promising review: "I love these hangers! 40+ years ago I could do macrame, but have forgotten all but basic knot, so was very happy to find these. They are similar to what I used to make way back when! These hangers are very well made, the cord is about the weight of cotton clothesline (but smoother and more tightly woven) and should hold a pot of substantial weight. I wasn't expecting them to have beads, but they are so pretty with decal or painted flowers on them. Also, they arrived quickly, on the day expected." —BeBop
Get them from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 10 colors).
Promising review: "These are perfection. I never, ever write reviews but I had to for these. For one, the price was unbeatable. I was looking for knock-offs of the Le Specs style (which go for over $100) so wasn't expecting much for this price but, wow, do these exceed my expectations. They came in perfect condition, inside a really nice case (!) with a lens cloth to boot (and the outside packaging is adorable, as well). As for how they look — AWESOME. Super of-the-moment. I'll definitely be buying other styles from this company." —Brooklyn Ali
Get them from Amazon for $9.99.
Promising review: "I was afraid they would be too large for my liking, but they're perfect!! (About the size of a big almond). They are a beautiful sparkly, deep emerald green attached to a beautiful sparking zircon which almost looks like a diamond. The snake and everything is finely detailed. They look much, much more expensive than they are. I love them! You cannot go wrong with these — especially for the money." —M. Williams
Get the set of six from Amazon for $9.99.
Promising review: "The quality of these prints is exceptional. The paper is very, very thick (thicker than most prints I've purchased in the past). The colors are really rich, sumptuous and vibrant. In my opinion, the website shots do not do these prints justice. I was taken aback by the overall high quality of these prints (especially given their low price). I've seen this prints elsewhere for far more $. So, congratulations — you've found yourself a sweet deal! If you're thinking about this purchase, you will be very pleased!" —Marsha H.
