If you feel that budget-friendly gift ideas or gifts below $50 don’t meet your standards, you might be a lavish spender. However, feeling the pinch of this year’s economy may have set you to rethink your strategy somewhat. Don’t worry; the gifts detailed below are all priced less than $100 and still will let you keep on your big-giver persona!
Spa Day
Treat the hardworking, possibly stressed-out woman in your life to a gift that any woman would love: a day at the spa. With Groupon and Living Social deals, it’s more than possible to schedule a spa day for less than $100. Go the extra mile and arrange the appointments for her, offering to take care of any child care needs. Make sure she can relax and enjoy without any excuses – she deserves a break!
Luxurious Bottle of Liquor
My father takes great pride in his bar collection, but seldom splurges on top-shelf spirits. Often we gift him an elegant bottle of liquor from Costco.
Moccasins
The LL Bean moccasins are comfort and joy incarnate. Once you’ve tried them, you’ll ask yourself why it took you so long. Splurge on these moccasins.
Tool Kit
Every man’s man likes having his own toolkit at hand. Even if he’s like my husband who used the toolkit only once for our new water filter pitcher, just knowing he has it would make him happy.
Survival Kit
With hit shows like AMC’s The Walking Dead and the somewhat morbid fascination with possible apocalyptic events, a survival kit is increasingly relevant. One year, my company gifted everyone an emergency backpack for our cars, packed with essentials like flashlights, batteries, dried food packs, and a solar blanket. Consider assembling one as a gift; it’s something they didn’t know they needed.
Steaks
Which man wouldn’t appreciate having top-quality steaks delivered straight to his doorstep? Omaha steaks cater to all budget ranges for the meat-lover in your life.
Art of Shaving Set
This shaving set is a perennial favorite with my husband, although its higher price point ensures it stays on the Christmas wish list every year.
Jewelry
Women relish good jewelry, and you can find elegant pieces for less than $100 with some careful research.
Chef’s Knife
A high-quality chef’s knife such as Wusthof or Henkels is an ideal gift for the family’s resident chef. Durable, robust, and of fine quality – it’s one of those items they’d love to have but never purchase for themselves due to its extravagant nature.
A Smooth Razor
For those who shave daily, like my husband, a quality razor is a great gift. While some might prefer an electric razor for convenience, others require the neat appearance that only a manual razor can provide. Art of Shaving carries top-of-the-line razors.
A Bathrobe
One year, I was gifted a plush, red bathrobe with my initials embroidered onto it. It was a delight to receive and comes useful during the chillier months.
Silk Pajamas
Nothing says decadence like a set of silk pajamas.
