When it comes to gifts, I get a lot of requests for best Secret Santa gifts under $50, Christmas gifts for coworkers, white elephant gift ideas… so I decided to combine all of those into one post!
Obviously Christmas gifts for coworkers is the trickiest on that list because it depends on your work environment, if that person ranks above or below you, what their interests are, etc. You might want to spend a little bit more (check out my other gift guides for more of those ideas!), but in the interest of keeping this under $50 and keeping secret santa in mind, I tried to go pretty general and fun.
And before we dive into a few of my favorite categories, I just want to call out this retractable charger because I’ve never seen it before and I feel like it is SUCH a good gift!!! Super useful and comes in tons of colors!!! Oh, and this sweatshirt makes me laugh so much 🤣

Anthro Gifts
When it comes to gifts under $50, Anthropologie is the first place I look every year. They have a ton of new icon juice glasses this season (I love this dog one!) and they have a version with a top and straw and a holiday mug too!
Speaking of mugs, they also have city mugs that come with matching dessert plates that are both under $50! And on a totally separate note, I personally really want this journal/adult coloring book. It’s by Cameron Rogers who I absolutely adore, and I think it would help a lot of us wind down and stop doom scrolling at the end of the day.
For the Homebody
You’ve probably heard me talk about Souper Cubes before, but wow, they’re a great gift. If they are a meal prepper, it’s a game changer – but even if they’re not, it’s a great way to freeze leftover soup or sauce that would otherwise go bad! I also hear amazing things about Wishbone Kitchen’s cookbook.
If you want to get them something a little more chill, I love these THC drinks by Cann (just empty it into sparkling water!). I also recently got Kate Mcleod’s lotion bar and immediately ordered these bath pebbles for a few people in my life. They smell soooooo good.
Games
I always think that games are a great gift to bring to a White Elephant party, and we have a few favorites! I’ve been recommending Chronology for years so you might already own that – but if you don’t, it’s a great game for history buffs (but it’s still fun even if you’re not!).
We are also big fans of Exploding Kittens but our friends introduced us to Hitster last year and I think that’s my number 1 recommendation this year. Basically, you scan a QR code on each card, a song plays, and you have to guess what year that song came out- or at least where it fits in your timeline of other cards. Bonus points if you know the artist and song name too! It’s SO FUN.
Affordable Beauty
If you’ve been reading my gift guides, you might be sick of hearing about Salt & Stone, but everything they make is WORTH IT!! In the under $50 category, I recommend this deodorant and body mist duo, this body wash set or this body mist set! Use code LAURENN15 for 15% off too!
As for makeup girlies, I absolutely love this blush set and I’m shocked that it’s still in stock. Get her this brush to go with it and she’ll be all set! I also got these lip balms a few months ago and they’ve been all I reach for recently. Don’t be scared of the black one – it goes on berry. So pretty!
You can see more of my picks for beauty gifts in this post, too!
