The post-holiday money crunch is real. We all want to save money and stick with a budget in the new year, but Valentine's Day is in just a week. Since Best Products is your most trusted gifting website, I knew it was essential to round up thoughtful, cheap Valentine's Day gift ideas that make a big impact. Don't worry: All of these affordable products look expensive and are of fabulous quality — and they just so happen to cost $50 or less.

As our beauty editor, naturally, I included several wellness, makeup, skincare, and fragrance gifts that your mother, girlfriend, wife, sister, and best friend would be delighted to receive. There are even grooming essentials, such as a hand cream and lip balm duo, that will ensure your brother, dad, boyfriend, and husband have softer, smoother hands and lips.

But, since we all have interests outside of beauty, there are plenty of other presents suitable for everyone's lifestyle, like a Bluetooth-equipped vinyl record player for your favorite music lover, cozy winter slippers for the homebody, and Oprah's favorite hot sauce for someone with a refined palette. And, because everyone knows Valentine's Day is the sexiest day of the year, there are also a couple of sexy Valentine's Day gift ideas that will make a big impact in the bedroom.

Keep scrolling for more budget-friendly Valentine's Day gift ideas that are so good that you'll be tempted to treat yourself to a present or two. Because let's be real: You undoubtedly deserve to shower yourself with some TLC, too.

Card Holder

For just $8, I've received several compliments on this grained faux leather card holder. Everyone says it looks way more expensive than it costs. There are dozens of colors to select, but I love the featured Tan version.

Regardless of which shade you gift, they can all hold up to eight cards and feature a zippered compartment that fits cash and my Apple Air Tag. The minimalist design is chic, and the key ring attachment is handy so it doesn't get lost in a large work tote.

Mulberry Silk Pillowcase

Dermatologists say sleeping on silk pillowcases prevents hair breakage, dryness, and frizz. The hypoallergenic material absorbs less dirt, oil, and moisture than cotton and reduces facial creases caused by sleeping. Silk pillowcases are so soft, gentle, and cooling that they're excellent gift options for sensitive and acne-prone skin types.

Sounds dreamy, right?! This pillowcase is made from the highest grade of 100% mulberry silk for a luxe sleeping experience on a budget. It's also available in 35 colors to match your giftee's go-to bedding.

Everywhere Belt Bag

Our readers can't get enough of Lululemon, including their popular belt bag. The hands-free bag is stylish and sold in several colors, including the featured Barbie pink option.

The surprisingly spacious bag can be worn crossbody or as a traditional fanny pack. It can fit everything from a smartphone and wireless earbuds to a pair of sunglasses and a small wallet. It's a must-have gift for someone who loves traveling without worrying about their passport and other valuables being stolen while abroad.

Your loved one will enjoy this bag so much, you shouldn't be surprised when they sport it nonstop.

Smile Face Slippers

I recently named these shoes one of the best slippers around because they're super cute, very comfortable, and make for a great budget-friendly Valentine's Day gift for anyone on your list. They're fuzzy and offer plush comfort, but Amazon reviewers promise they dry relatively quickly, so they're safe to wear after showering.

These slippers are the ideal gift for your favorite introvert who wants to add a luxe touch to their chill nights at home.

Hot Sauce and Hotter Sauce 2-Pack Bundle

Truff's truffle-infused hot sauce is a favorite of myself, Oprah, and Kim Kardashian. Their Valentine's Day duo contains two of my favorite hot sauces.

Truff Hot Sauce with the black label is sweet with a surprising kick. You taste the black truffle flavor once the chili pepper heat starts fading away. The Truff Hotter Sauce is the brand's spiciest option and it tastes truly delish.

Velvet Crush Press On Nails

I recently named these velvet-inspired press-ons the best nail kit in our first-ever New Beauty Awards because they're effortless and budget-friendly.

They’re available in two shapes: short almond and short oval, while plenty of colorways complement your giftee's wardrobe. For example, there are demure hues, like Honey Bun (nude) and Fairy Dust (pink), and pops of color, such as Unicorn Tears (blue) and Electric (green). Overall, these award-winning nails will seamlessly complement their wardrobe and mood.

Magnetic Portable Charger

We all know someone who lets their smartphone drop down to a critically low percentage — "It's me. hi! I'm the problem, it's me." — before charging up their device.

Well, this portable Anker charger is one of the best cheap gifts I've received, and your favorite techie or social media guru will appreciate the thoughtful gadget.

It's about the size of a slim wallet and can quickly power my iPhone 13 Plus battery life up to 75% while in use. Encourage your giftee to keep this device handy during concerts, outdoor workouts, or while running errands around town.

Vinyl Record Player

Show your favorite music lover how much you care with this unique, cheap Valentine's Day gift idea. The vintage-looking record player has three listening speeds and playing size options. But unlike old-school vinyl players your grandparents own, this modern take is Bluetooth-equipped, meaning your giftee can play music from their smartphone or other audio devices.

The all-in-one gift is also equipped with a built-in speaker for optimal enjoyment.

Lash Princess Mascara Set

Lash Princess is Amazon's number-one best-selling mascara, a personal favorite, and a hit on TikTok. A single coat deposits jet black color while thickening and lengthening my lashes, similar to the pricier options.

This beauty gift set includes four Lash Princess mascara versions: the OG green tube, the waterproof blue tube, the lash curling pink option, and the volumizing purple version. Regardless of which one someone uses, they'll get a false eyelash effect without the struggle of artfully applying glue and lashes.

Charlotte's Superstar Glow Kit

Charlotte Tilbury is the undisputed queen of beauty. Her makeup products are perennial favorites of A-listers like Jessica Chastain, Kate Moss, and Cindy Crawford, to name a few. Tilbury curated a gift set with two mini versions of her TikTok-viral Beauty Light Wands in Spotlight and Pinkgasm. The liquid highlighters are infused with soft focus silica that helps blur imperfections like an IRL skin filter.

Gift these to your favorite girl, and she'll love you forever.

Epsom Salt Soaking Solution

Dr Teal's bubble bath and Epsom salt totally live up to the hype. Both the bubble bath and muscle-soothing Epsom salts smell like calming lavender essence to promote a better night's sleep. Epsom salts also help relieve swelling, stress, and anxiety for an almost therapeutic bathtub vibe.

These calming attributes make this duo an ideal Valentine's Day gift for your favorite night owl who needs extra TLC to lull themselves to sleep.

The Body Ritual Set

I recently highlighted Nécessaire's epic skincare products in our Best New Beauty Awards and several shopping guides because, in my expert opinion, no other skincare set comes close to the powers of this one.

This gift-worthy quad includes travel-sized versions of customer-favorite Nécessaire products including The Body Exfoliator, The Body Wash, The Body Lotion, and The Body Serum. These products have been a staple in my bathroom for several years. They're dermatologist-tested, hypoallergenic, and non-comedogenic, meaning they won't irritate your giftee's sensitive skin or cause body acne.

Faded Under Eye Masks

Caffeine, kojic acid, and arbutin are like a superhero trifecta of ingredients to help lighten the appearance of dark circles. These Insta-worthy under-eye patches will be a hit for friends and family members who are chronically online or obsess over their 10-step skincare routine.

They brighten the delicate skin and even target puffiness and fine lines. Plus, don't slip and slide around the eye area, which is ideal since these patches should be worn for 15 minutes.

Pro tip: Sport these while doing eye makeup, as they'll catch any eyeshadow fallout.

LES Scented Candle

The Lower East Side (LES) is one of the most vibrant and grittiest neighborhoods in NYC. So I was pleasantly surprised the LES Scented Candle smells like a girly dream of dark berries, bergamot, and florals. It would be a home run for friends who recently moved into new homes (perhaps in the city).

This candle smells sublime — cardamom, black currant, peony, peach, rose, vanilla, cedarwood, and jasmine rice are just some of the delectable notes packed together—and provides a clean 50-hour burn time. Notably, the candle is made from a blend of coconut and beeswax, so it's non-toxic for anyone with a sensitive nose or allergies like myself.

SPF Bestsellers Kit

Sunscreen gets all the beauty attention during summer, but dermatologists agree it's a daily skincare essential. Yes, even during the cold and cloudy winter months!

Supergoop! rounded up a trio of their bestselling sunscreens with a cute gift bag. The best part? These SPFs are invisible on all complexions. Unseen is ideal for oily complexions, Glowscreen imparts a luminous finish to dry, dull skin during the winter, and PLAY Everyday Lotion SPF 50 offers head-to-toe sun protection.

Gift your bestie a set that'll save their skin if you want them to grow older looking as radiant as they do now.

Intro Gua Sha Tool in Rose Quartz

Gua sha reduces puffiness, softens lines, minimizes sagging, sculpts and lifts skin, and helps acne heal faster. Facial gua sha also releases tension and knots plus relieves TMJ, headaches, seasonal allergies, and sinus congestion. Talk about a beauty workhorse!

This gua sha tool is the ideal Valentine's Day gift for someone who embraces self-care or could just be a gentle reminder to prioritize their skincare routine.

Dusty Rose Peony Flower Claw Clip

Lele Sadoughi headbands are a brand signature, but this hair clip also deserves some love. Inspired by claw clips of the '90s, Sadoughi's modern take prominently features a peony flower, which definitely makes it a statement piece for someone's V-Day glam and beyond.

The sateen floral motif is available in three colors, including Dusty Rose (pictured), Ivory, and Jet (black) to match your giftee's vibe.

Pearl and Crystal Linear Drop Earrings

Your favorite fashion girly will thank you when you surprise them with this pair of statement earrings. The dainty chain earrings are dipped in 18k gold and feature a gorgeous linear drop with freshwater pearl and crystal accents for a glamorous touch. They can be dressed up for date night out or paired with a demure turtleneck to the office.

Satin Long PJ Set

A bride-to-be recently told me she gifted her bridesmaids PJs from Pretty Little Thing — and after exploring their site, it's easy to see why. This girly pajama set features a fun pink and white striped motif with black pipping for a nice contrast.

Pretty Little Thing sells plenty of PJ sets that are currently marked down over 40%, but this pink one is super cute for V-Day. Plus, it's available in sizes XS-L and plus sizes ranging from 12-26.

Barely There Red transparent Hearts Crotchless Teddy

TBH, this could be a hot Valentine's Day gift for your paramour or yourself! When I shared the daring teddy with a senior editor, she quickly pointed out that it's incredibly hard to find crotchless lingerie that isn't ugly, but these Lovehoney ones are the cutest pair she's seen.

They're available in black, green, and red, and feature a romantic heart motif throughout. It's also size inclusive: You've got One Size, which accommodates sizes 4-12, and Queen Size, for anyone who wears 14-18.

Rose Clitoral Suction Stimulator

If your giftee embraces sexual wellness, they'll love this top-rated rose vibrator. Generic Amazon versions have gone viral on TikTok. However, Lovehoney's model amplifies the good vibes with a patented Pleasure Air Technology that creates 10 different suction modes.

The rose-shaped hot Valentine's Day gift uses a magnetic charger so your giftee will never have to worry about replacing the batteries during a solo sesh. It's also waterproof, offering flexibility to enjoy this vibe in the bathtub or shower for next-level sensations.

RIKI Sweetheart

Riki makes the ultimate beauty accessories. Don't believe me? I recently featured their iconic LED lighted vanity mirrors in our inaugural Best New Beauty Awards package and in the best first apartment gift guide.

The RIKI Sweetheart is especially appropriate for V-Day because it's shaped like a heart! Looks aside, this nifty device is epic for your favorite selfie queen and influencer-to-be. Sweetheart clamps onto smartphones and provides three brightness levels so users can touch up their lipstick after eating and film TikToks and Instagram Reels.

Oh, and did I mention the glass is shatterproof?! So even the most accident-prone person you know won't have to worry about Sweetheart breaking if they drop their smartphone.
