These nine gifts under $50 prove that thoughtful, high-quality presents don’t have to break the bank.

This $49 candle looks oh-so fancy, but it's the luscious scents it comes in that'll really get you. From saffron-cedar to black rose-oud, you (or your giftee) will receive 50 hours of burn time and unforgettable fragrance.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Mini Modern Renaissance Kit
For just $44, this makeup kit comes with a long-lasting brow pencil, an eyeshadow complete with nine versatile shades, and a smooth lipstick. It'll be perfect for the beauty aficionado in your life and earn you, the gifter, bonus points since it comes straight from a higher-end brand.

Amazon
Kiehl's Avocado Eye Treatment
This eye treatment soothes tired under eyes with avocado oil, proving much-needed hydration for a more awake effect. The tub is just $34 and lasts a long time since one application only calls for a small amount of product. This pick will make a fantastic (and impressive) stocking stuffer for just about everyone on your list.

Amazon
Bagsmart Tote Bag
This spacious $32 tote bag can be carried just about anywhere. From the gym to the office, your giftee will appreciate its inner compartments for stowing away smaller essentials.

Amazon
Kodak H35 Half Frame Film Camera
What's more luxe-feeling than a film camera for a gift? This one is surprisingly just $50 and only takes half-frame shots, meaning your giftee can get twice the amount of exposures from a normal roll of film. It comes with a built-in flash for any special lighting needs, plus you can shop it in five fun colorways for style points.

Amazon
Yiayia And Friends Extra Virgin Chili Pepper Olive Oil
This $25 chili-infused olive oil will certainly add some spice to your gifting game. The unique bottle design makes it feel much more elevated than a regular bottle would be, so even when it's not being used for homemade dishes, it looks like a work of art on the kitchen counter.

Anthropologie
HydroJug x Anthropologie 40-Ounce Traveler
This $45 tumbler is perfect for the holiday season, thanks to its spirited pattern. Though it's super cute, it's practical, too. The straw lid is leakproof while the tumbler itself has double-walled insulation to keep contents cold. The 40-ounce vessel also comes in four more exclusive patterns only at Anthro.

Nordstrom
Paddywax Gold Boot Match Holder
This shiny match holder ($22) will look way cuter than your average matchbox when displayed on the coffee table or bathroom counter. It comes with 25 matches so you can spark your favorite holiday scent and get a warm glow going.
