The Under $50 Amazon Gift Guide That Screams Quiet Luxury
by The Candidly Team
Our dream is to find very affordable things that are beautiful and luxurious. Duh.
And so it goes without saying that when it comes to needing to buy 687 presents for all the people in our life, we have to get verrrrry smart about our spending.
Which is where a supremely curated Amazon list come in. Aka, we did all the hard work for you.
Everything looks luxe, chic, smart, positively reeks of quiet luxury, and we have no doubt there is something for everyone on your list.
Including, perhaps, yourself.
Let’s shop.
Marimekko Oiva Unikko Stoneware Mortar and Pestle
Simply OWNING a mortar and pestle screams elegance, but this one from Marimekko says you also have impeccable taste.
Aokdlia Glass Straws
There is nothing, we repeat nothing, that makes a cold drink more thrilling than drinking it with a pink glass straw.
Cavallini Papers & Co. National Parks 1,000 Piece Puzzle
All old people love puzzles. It’s a fact. And by old people, we mean us.
Nurse Jamie Healthy Skin Solutions Super-Cryo Massaging Orb
For the beauty hound in your life that seemingly has it all. She doesn’t have this ice globe, and it does wonders for puffiness. Pro tip: Add 2 to cart for this one. Use it in the morning and look 9 years younger.
Tea Forte Warming Joy Gift Set
A luxe tea sampler says: I don’t know you very well but I know most people love tea. And yet, it’s also a perfect gift for any truly hardcore coffee and tea aficionados.
Nécessaire The Body Wash Collection
We often find “sets” to be dumb money-grabs for mindless shoppers who have no imagination. But this one! This is the best body wash known to woman (we even wrote about it HERE), and every scent is better than the last.
Circulation Wine Decanter
A decanter is something a classy person owns. And if you gift someone a decanter, you are saying to them: I know you are classy. And I am classy for giving you this. We are both classy people.
Stanley IceFlow Stainless Steel Tumbler with Straw
Another potable-adjacent accessory, but this time we’d use the word viral to describe it. Everyone you know probably owns one already, but a Stanley (who we are sitting closely to figure out how they make 11-year-olds and 44-years-old gaga for them) really is the most remarkable water holding device. And this one is meant to travel with you, so there’s no leakage. But there IS an almost shocking ability to keep drinks ice-cold for 12 hours.
Jonathan Adler, White Elephant Match Strike
White ceramic elephant match strike is on no one’s list. And yet, it is the perfect gift for anyone with irreverence and even a modicum of jois de vivre.
Kai Fragrance Candle
This is another “add 2 to cart” moment, because this candle smells like what you imagine a million Hawaiian leis smell like. You won’t even need to light it—the scent lightly fills the room on its own. No, it’s not some cheap holiday scent like cinnamon or pine. We don’t buy into that.
Kosterina Original Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Oh, this? Just the best olive oil in the world. And the spout is genius. Any food-loving people in your life will be thrilled. Oh, and they make an incredible balsamic if you want to turn it into a little set.
Magic Wand Massager
And now for something completely different! We love this “massager.” This “massager” works great. It’s the best “massager” we think we’ve ever used. Your sisters/best friends/you are going to love it. Trust us here.
Reimagine Discovery Melted Disco Ball
Our favorite thing on the list. We know it’s weird. We know it’s not really a thing. But it creates more squeals than any other gift we’ve ever given.
Atlas Coffee Club World of Coffee Discovery Set
Even the truest snobs will be into it. (Though spring for the whole beans option).
Mberry Miracle Berry Tablets
A fun stocking stuffer—it’s that berry we were all obsessed with like 15 years ago that makes everything you eat taste sweet! Including lemons!
Emile Henry Salt Pig And Maldon Sea Salt
Are any of us really adults if we don’t have an Emile Henry salt pig? We thought not. And, of course, pair it with the SILO of the best salt on earth.
Esther Perel Conversation Card Game for Couples
Give this to your favorite couple. If they’re your favorite they’re probably smart enough to know who Esther Perel is and you’ll look like a genius.
Slim Aarons: Women
Anyone with even a shred of style should own this book.
French Pharmacy Gift Set
Create your own collection of any of these gorgeous French Pharmacy products, and you’ll have created the chicest gift of all. All from Amazon!
Annnnnd a few things slightly over $50 because were bad at editing things down and needed you to know how good these are.
Fujifilm Instax Mini 11 Instant Camera
For every tween, teen, and, er, fully adult woman you know. Because it’s fun.
Real Luxurious Natural Marble Vanity Tray
This looks and feels about 5 times more expensive than it is.
Nespresso Aeroccino3 Milk Frother
THE most magical milk frother that exists. Just read the near 9k glowing reviews.
UGG Women's Coquette Slipper
You don’t need us to tell you about UGG slippers. But this is just a reminder that everyone you know wants a pair and this particular style is them best because it allows you to walk outside and fully do school pick up and errands and fetch your mail with the treads. All while feeling like a snug cloud.
Ninja CREAMi, Ice Cream Maker
Fine, this is well over $50, but it’s the only product on the market that can take any random protein shake and turn into LITERAL SOFT SERVE ICE CREAM. Yes, we own this and yes, it does this. Meaning, you can eat a huge bowl of ice cream at night for your “health.” Again, add 2 to cart for this one.
