Gifts Under $50

Thanks to our creative, hard-working and diverse community of Independent Creators, we’ve got many awesome gift ideas in our under $50 category on Zazzle. Whether you’re looking for a quirky birthday gift or a festive stocking stuffer, we’re sure you’ll find something your recipient will adore. With over 800 products, however, you still might need some suggestions as to where you should start:

• T-Shirts: T-shirts don’t cost a fortune, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have value. Of all our Zazzle products, t-shirts – and other kinds of apparel – have some of the most customizable potential, as you’re able to adjust the size, style, color and printing, before you even upload your text or artwork.
• Cutting Boards: Cutting boards make excellent anniversary or wedding presents, as you can have the homeowners’ names engraved into the wood. And when it comes to memorable Christmas presents, other kinds of kitchen accessories just won’t cut it!
• Aprons: Well, there is one kind of cooking-related product that might be able to compete with our cutting boards. Aprons are neat presents, whether you’re gifting them to the "King of the Kitchen" or members of the "Christmas Cookie Crew."
• Phone Cases: Phone cases are an ever-reliable accessory: not only do they protect your phone from harm, but they look sharp, too. Some of our phone cases don’t even cost $20, making them a particularly budget-friendly gift idea.
• Clocks: Sure, most of us tell the time now by glancing at our phone, or at a corner of our laptop screen. However, neither a phone nor a laptop will look quite as stylish as a clock when displayed on your wall, trust us!

Whether you want to personalize a pre-existing design or aim to create a brand-new product from scratch, it’s all possible – and easy to accomplish – with the aid of our world-renowned design interface. Follow the instructions below to find a gift, make your changes and ready it for purchase; then, once you’ve honed your skills, head to our Create Your Own page to try making an entirely custom-made product.

• Step 1: From either the page you’re on now or from the main gifts hub, select a design and product you like and click on its thumbnail to be taken to its specific page.
• Step 2: Once you're on the product page, you’ll be presented with a number of drop-down menus on the right-hand side of the image. Use these to prepare your gift in terms of ‘Size,’ ‘Style,’ ‘Material’ and a variety of other aspects.
• Step 3: Click on 'Personalize' and then add images and text elements in Zazzle's design tool – this is where you'll add your own personal touch to your product!
• Step 4: Click 'Done' and see your final design! Since it’s a gift, you probably won’t need to order more than one; however, if you do want to adjust the quantity, update the figure in the box to the left of the ‘Add to Cart’ button. You’ll typically avail of a bulk discount if you do this, too.

If you’re still flummoxed by the idea of shopping on a strict budget – or frustrated by the thought of buying a gift for someone you don’t know very well – then we have a couple of other resources to suggest. Over on the Zazzle Ideas blog, you can read our "How to Shop for Christmas Gifts on a Budget" article, which contains tips for managing your finances, planning gift exchanges and finding bargains this holiday season. You can also take a look at our "Top 30 Unique and Personalized Christmas Gifts" article, as many of these ideas, while creative and customizable, are still relatively inexpensive. Finally, if you think that a limit of $50 is too much for, say, a Secret Santa event, then you can visit our under $20 gift page, which will provide you with a range of low-budget (but high-quality) ideas.
