The best gifts don’t have to crease your wallet. With a little bit of strategy and hard work you can hook your loved one up with some heat while still doing what is best for your budget. There are plenty of great choices all over StockX, no matter how much money you have to spend (or don’t!). To make Secret Santa’s job a little easier this year, we provided our favorite gifts under $50 that are guaranteed to leave the right impression. 

Given the nature of our market place, prices are always subject to change. So, it is best that you act fast and grab these items now before prices rise and your Secret Santa recipient is without the right gift.

baby yoda funk pop

Baby Yoda Funko Pop

You don’t have to be a Star Wars fan to admire cuteness, everyone needs a reminder that there are some things that will always put a smile on your face. In this case, it’s Baby Yoda. Brighten up your loved one’s day with the Baby Yoda Funko Pop. This mini-Jedi will use the force to beam thoughts into anyone’s head like ”Wow, Disney really created a character with untamed charm”. If they don’t find Baby Yoda at least a little bit cute, then finding the right gift should be the least of your worries.

Chinatown Market Stress Balls

The holiday season can be stressful. Whether you are still figuring out what to gift your loved ones or which meals to cook, or how you will be spending those vacation days, the pressure can build up. You don’t need an excuse to feel stressed out in 2020, why would you? There is a good chance the person you picked for your anonymous gift exchange is stressed out too. Help them squeeze their stress and frustration away by gifting them the Chinatown Market Stress Balls. 

Note: These stress balls are also great at disguising their intended use. If anyone notices them, they will just assume your loved one is always down for a friendly game of catch.

Vans Slip-On Checkerboard

It’s not often that you can cop a classic pair of sneakers for under $50. So when the opportunity presents itself while you are shopping for your Secret Santa recipient, spend that Virgil without hesitation. The Vans Checkerboard Slip-On has amassed a cult following ever since its cameo in the Fast Times at Ridgemont High. But unlike Spiccoli, these Checkerboard Vans will never burn out. They are a staple in sneaker culture and the perfect addition to any closet.

Supreme hanes

Supreme Hanes Socks

There are three things that are guaranteed in life: death, taxes, and holes in your socks. You can’t avoid it, and we know for a fact that whoever’s name you pulled this year for your gift exchange can’t avoid it either. They aren’t that special. Help prevent a sock crisis in the imminent future and freshen up your recipient’s feet with the Supreme Hanes Socks. They are swaggy, comfortable, and most importantly, holeless.

Supreme Dish Towels

Maybe you’re shopping for a mystery Secret Santee. Maybe you haven’t really gotten the chance to know them, but maybe you’re a great Secret Santa and you want to come in clutch with a gift they will appreciate. This is where you have to rely on your knowledge of basic human needs and assume that your recipient eats food off of dishes. Big assumption, but fair. Everyone could use some extra help in the kitchen so, plug your person with a set of Supreme Dish Towels. At the very least they will acknowledge that they are receiving a fresh set of dish towels. If they acknowledge that they are Supreme, that’s a bonus. If you think the person whose name you picked will be uninterested because they have never cleaned a plate, well, that sounds like their problem.
