Picking out the perfect gift is a skill that just comes naturally to some people. You know the ones: Your favorite aunt who somehow always knows exactly what was on your wishlist or your best friend who gifted you that one pair of earrings you mentioned to her only once before. Some people just have that — pun intended — gift. But if you're someone who happens to need a bit more help, our list of the best gifts under $25 is filled with affordable and fun ideas.

It's always good to stick to a budget when shopping, especially this time of year when you're looking for something for everyone: from co-workers to the special ladies in your life. Here, you'll find a gift that works perfect for a White Elephant party (the Shot Glass Roulette was GH reader favorite last year) or Secret Santa with the family (a mug warmer that won't break the bank), as well as presents for all the men who say they want nothing, but are definitely look for something to open come Christmas or Hanukkah morning.

What's wonderful is that nothing on here screams "stocking stuffer" just because it's inexpensive (we do have a ton of those right here, though). What we mean by that is anything on here can be the main gift you give this season, and we promise, they'll be thrilled.
