Holiday Gift Ideas for the Home Under $50

The best home gifts are the ones people use every day: a soft throw on the sofa, a candle on the counter, a doormat that greets guests. Here are our favorite ideas for hosts, new homeowners and anyone who loves a cozy space, all under $50. Shop everything in one place in our Holiday Gift Shop.

Cozy throw blankets

A throw is the gift almost everyone will use. Look for 50x60 inches, the size that covers one person on the sofa. Cotton waffle weaves feel light and breathable, while woven plaids and stripes add a warm farmhouse look. Most of our woven throws are under $30, like the Natural Cream Waffle Weave Throw and the Scandia Snowflake Throw.

Candles and home fragrance

A good candle is the classic hostess gift. Pick a seasonal scent for the holidays or a clean, fresh scent for everyday use. Jewel candles, with a surprise piece of jewelry hidden inside, are a fun twist and start under $15. Browse our candles and home fragrance, and see our home fragrance guide if you are choosing between candles, diffusers and wax melts.

Personalized door mats

A door mat with the family name or a seasonal design makes a thoughtful housewarming or wedding gift, and it gets seen every single day. The Personalized Christmas Tree Doormat is a festive pick for the season. Order early: personalized items take a little longer to make and ship.

Stockings, ornaments and tree decor

Holiday decor makes a great gift for someone setting up their first home. Ideas under $50:

• Stockings: burlap, ticking stripe and snowflake styles from about $10 to $24. See our Christmas decor.
• Ornament sets: wooden and metal sets in rustic and Scandinavian styles, most under $26.
• Tree skirts and collars: burlap skirts start around $21 and metal tree collars around $37. Not sure which to choose? Read Tree Skirt or Tree Collar?

Kitchen linens

A set of tea towels is an easy, practical gift for anyone who cooks. Buffalo check and plaid sets of three are around $20 and pair nicely with a candle or a bottle of olive oil. Shop kitchen linens.

Gifts for kids

Wooden toys last for years and look good in any playroom. Wooden train sets and accessories start under $30 in our Kids & Toddler World.
