    25 Gifts That Are Inexpensive *And* Low-Key Life-Changing

    Low cost, high impact 🎁

    1. An Amazon Echo Dot to turn their pad from a house to a ~smart home~. It'll be their little life assistant by helping them with their schedule, telling them the weather, playing music, and *so* much more!

    A round white Echo Dot ringed with a blue light sits on a wooden table with the phrase "Alexa, play study music." in a speech bubble below it.

    2. A Nalgene bottle so they can finally leave disposable bottles back in 2019 where they belong. They'll be weirdly emotionally attached to their Nalgene in no time at all.

    3. Blue light–blocking glasses that'll help reduce the eye strain they feel after being on the computer for eight hours during the work day. Ending the day without that fatigue and fogginess? Miraculous.

    4. A pair of satin pillowcases to keep their hair from getting matted in the night and give their lovely head somewhere dainty and glamorous to lay.

    5. A bag of Death Wish Coffee for finally getting them the JOLT of caffeine they crave with only one cup instead of a whole pot.

    6. A six-pack of velvet headbands, because honestly one of the most life-changing developments that can happen is becoming a Headband Person.

    7. A cast iron skillet that — if they're anything like me — will change the way they cook forever. Meat has never been so perfectly browned, vegetables so perfectly crisped, cornbread so perfectly crusted.

    8. A whole bunch of undies from Aerie, because they're high-key 10-for-$25 right now, and that means *10* great gifts for anyone with a butt. Having all new underwear really makes you feel on top of the world.

    9. An essential-oil migraine relief stick to help the frequent headache-sufferer in your life find a little relief.

    10. A cold brew maker that will save them a whole lot of time and money running to the coffee shop for their morning cup of cold bean juice.

    11. A 12-inch foam roller they'll get a ton of use out of whether they're a monster in the gym or just need to ~loosen up~ their muscles after a long day of sitting at a desk.

    12. A password journal, because making *and* remembering unique passwords is an albatross we all must live with, and this will make it SO much easier for them.

    13. A pair of cut-resistant gloves that will change the way the clumsy person in your life operates in the kitchen forever. Now they can chop with confidence!

    14. A Squatty Potty, because this may be the single most life-changing technology their bowels could have dreamed of. Get ready for a heartfelt, TMI thank you.

    15. A Two-Minute Mornings journal that'll prompt them to jot down a bit about their life every day. They'll appreciate having this little artifact of themselves for years to come.

    16. A travel wallet so they can stay uncharacteristically organized while traveling. There's even a spot for a pen — always the most elusive when they need one to fill out customs forms.

    17. A slim external battery so they're never up a creek without a charge — one of the worst feelings of the modern world.

    18. A Quip electric toothbrush to change their oral hygine routine for the better. Quip gently vibrates and will cue them to change quadrants of their mouth ever 30 seconds until they get the two-minute brush the dentist begs them for.

    19. A page holder so they no longer need to struggle to keep their previous volumes open while trying to casually read.

    20. A digital kitchen scale with a handy conversion chart on the surface so they never have to look up how many teaspoons are in a tablespoon with flour-covered hands again.

    21. A dog feeding tracker so they never have to think too hard about their most important chore — something they currently spend about five minutes considering every morning and night.

    22. A clip-on ring light to take their selfies to a whole new level. Who care if Instagram is taking away likes? Still gotta look fresh.

    23. A jade roller for upgrading their skincare routine and help them *and* their skin destress. It's said to help promote circulation, tighten skin, help with lymphatic drainage and overall ~de-puff~ — what more could you ask for?

    24. A rolling foot massager so their dogs can finally stop barking at the end of a long day. Ahhhh, the gift of relaxation.

    25. A makeup remover towel for encouraging them to actually take off their makeup every night since they'll just wet with water and wipe instead of having to do the usual cotton round and makeup remover routine.
