100 of the best Christmas gifts for every budget (from under $50 to max the credit card!)

Shopping for Christmas can be a strain on the old credit card, which is why we know it’s super important to set a budget for gifts that you (and your bank manger) can be happy with! So, to help you out, we’ve rounded up the best Christmas gift ideas for 2017 in four key categories – gifts under $50, gifts under $100, more spenny presents under $200 and just a handful of truly special gifts with no spending cap.

Before you go crazy picking out gifts, it’s a good idea to make a list of everyone you need to buy for (think family, think friends, think Bob from work in the Kris Kringle…) and then figure out how much you can afford to spend on Christmas in toto (hot tip: the earlier you start shopping for Chrissy, the more pay checks you have to help you cover costs!). Once you’ve got this $ figure down, prioritise the peeps on your list accordingly, so you’re clear on exactly how much you can allocate to splash out on each lucky gift-getter.

Try to avoid hitting the shops aimlessly (trust us, in that moment when you’ve been walking around Westfield for five hours with zero gift ideas, you’ll be tempted to overspend) – instead plot out in advance what what you’re planning to buy for each person on your list, within the budget you set. And we think here is the perfect place to start getting inspo…

Just because you’re not throwing cash around like Jay Z and Beyoncé, doesn’t mean you can’t nab a totally cool gift under $50. Whether you opt for something quirky (ahem, a ball-shaped bike light, socks in a soup can or facial hair glitter for your bearded bloke), or thoughtful and personalised (see: bespoke baby onesie and family bear portrait print), there are loads of thrifty gifting options that’ll give you change for a fifty.
