Every year, Wirecutter’s expert journalists spend thousands of hours researching and testing items so we can recommend the very best (and spare you the cruel disappointment of buying something that isn’t great). We’ve chosen gifts for $50 or less that will surely please almost anyone on your list. While we tried to ensure that all the items in this guide meet that threshold, prices can dance around a bit—especially around the holidays.
