Christmas gift baskets under $50, by recipient
The best gift isn't always the most expensive one. It's the one that feels picked just for them. Think about what the person actually enjoys: a chocolate lover will be happier with a box of truffles than a pricier basket full of things they won't eat, and someone who hosts every holiday will love snacks they can set out for guests. Start with their tastes, then let your budget guide the rest. Every gift below comes in at $50 or less, grouped by who it suits best.
For Mom or Grandma
There's something wonderfully nostalgic about a box of Christmas cookies, and this one is packed with them. Gingerbread, iced Christmas tree cookies, Linzer cookies and more arrive in a red wooden keepsake crate that looks lovely under the tree, and one reviewer said it left a 94-year-old recipient overjoyed. If she's family by marriage, our ideas for Christmas gifts for your mother-in-law have even more to choose from.
For her

Moscato Delight Basket | $49.95
If she enjoys a little fizz, this basket pairs a can of sparkling Moscato with premium truffles, Ghirardelli chocolate squares, almond buttercrunch and savory flatbread crisps.

For him
Holiday Joy Gift Crate | $49.95
If he'd pick salty over sweet, this crate is for him. Himalayan chips, ranch toasted corn nuggets, yogurt pretzels and caramel popcorn sit alongside Almond Roca and Walker's cookies in a white keepsake caddy with a bold JOY design.

How to make an affordable gift feel special
A gift under $50 can feel just as thoughtful as one that costs twice as much. A few small touches make all the difference.
- Write a personal message. A few heartfelt words in the gift card often mean more than the gift itself
- Time it right. Choose the exact delivery date at checkout so the gift arrives when it matters most, whether that's the day of the office party or Christmas Eve
- Pick a keepsake. Crates, towers and mugs stay useful long after the treats are gone, a lasting reminder of your thoughtfulness
- Add a little extra. Some gifts, like the Christmas Thinking of You Gift Tower, let you add a bottle of wine at checkout.
