Affordable Gift Ideas for Everyone on Your List

Updated: Nov 2

When it comes to finding an affordable gift idea that is perfect for your loved ones, the task can indeed be quite daunting. The quest for the ideal present that is not only thoughtful but also fits within your budget can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack.

However, with a little creativity and consideration, you can uncover a treasure trove of options that will surely bring joy to the special people in your life AND keep you under budget.


The Weekend Whatnots team took on the challenge of curating a list of amazing and affordable gift ideas for everyone! We wanted to make sure that our selections were not only thoughtful but also budget-friendly. We stuck to a maximum budget of $20 per person, but rest assured, you can find tons of options on this list for way less than that!


Below, you will discover a wide array of gift options that emerged from our brainstorming session. These gifts cater to different tastes and preferences, and most importantly, they cater to different budgets. The price range of these gifts varies from just a couple of bucks up to $20.


What's truly great about this list is the flexibility it offers. You have the freedom to choose one higher-priced item from the list or mix and match some of the lower-priced items to create a customized gift that is tailored to the recipient's preferences. The possibilities are endless, and the joy of giving within a budget is truly priceless.


Throw multiple items together in a gift bag or woven basket or create a beautiful presentation by tying items together with ribbon.

We have linked to some of our favorite options below, but all the items listed AND MORE can be found on our Walmart storefront.



Take your time, consider their preferences, and let your heart guide you in finding the perfect and affordable gift that will bring joy to all your friends and family!



For the Gardner and Plant Lover

These are for the plant parents. The people with an inexplicable green thumb (Seriously, how do they do it?) Find everything for container gardening indoors to vegetable gardening outdoors and more. Maybe they just need more plants? That's usually never the case, but those are listed below!




For the Tea and Coffee Lover

These gifts are for the person who can't rise from their slumber without caffeine and isn't afraid of a 7 pm cup of joe. Or for the person who loves to relax in the evening with an herbal tea. Who would think gift ideas for these two would overlap? We did! Below you will find options for your coffee fiend friends and family or your relaxed tea time buddies.








For the Host or Hostess or New Home Owner

These gifts are for the brave souls who always host the parties (where do they find the energy?) or for the new home owners who are still trying to acquire everything they need. Some things for the kitchen, some cozy things, some handy things... we got it all covered below.



For the Crafter and DIY'er

Crafters and DIYers are some of the most creative and ingenious people on the planet. But sometimes they just lack the right tool for the job. See below to solve that problem for them. The gifts below will help keep them organized, inspired, and ready to tackle any project!



For the Traveler or Outdoorsy Person

For your friends or family that are always on the go or just love being outside. These gifts are great for people who love to stay organized on trips, people who love to camp, hike, fish or just spend time in their own backyards! Some items items are more practical items (Hey at least you know they'll get used!) but there are a few for fun options in the bunch as well.



For the Car Enthusiast

Know a motor-head? Someone who is always tinkering or toying with their vehicle? The person who keeps their car spotless and in the best running condition? These gift options are perfect for them! Give them a gift to help them keep their ride fly (do the kids still say that?) and in tip top shape!



For the Aspiring Chef or Baker

Know someone who loves to throw down in the kitchen? Or maybe a young relative that has just started showing interest in cooking or baking (there is a Bluey cookbook linked in the storefront, you're welcome). Help nurture their talents by giving them the tools and accesories they need. These gifts can also double as a way to spend more time with your loved ones. Plan a cooking or baking night so you can enjoy the gift together!



For the Self Care Connoisseur

Do you know someone who LOVES skincare, haircare and body care? Or maybe you know someone who could use more papmering , like new parents. The self care gift options below have luxurious looks, high ratings, and are affordable!




We hope you discovered the perfect gift idea from the many options above or at least got your creative thinking kickstarted!


Remember, the thought and effort you put into selecting a gift are what truly make it special!
