The best gifts you can buy on Amazon under $50 today

The perfect gift doesn't have to cost a lot

It's the thought that counts, not the dollar amount. In fact, it's possible to spend too much money on a gift and make the recipient feel uncomfortable. Under $50 is a good target because it gives you enough room to purchase a useful, quality item, such as a journal or a waffle maker, without spending an excessive amount of money.
