Gender Neutral Gift Ideas Under $50
Gift Exchange Ideas for Adult Family
From kitchen staples, games, puzzles, experience gifts and luxury food items…there’s something in here for everyone.
As life goes, when you get older, the holidays and gift giving that goes with that, can get a little more complicated. With your siblings married and your family expanding…it might be too much to buy a gift for each and every person.
This year for Christmas, my family is doing a gift exchange with the following rules:
Only buy one gift
Must be between $30-$50
Must be gender neutral
Must be nice (AKA not a gag gift)
There are 10 of us total and buying a gift for each person would be a lot! So we decided to limit it to one gift per person. $30-$50 felt reasonable to keep it affordable yet still able to purchase a nice gift with it.
We aren’t sure exactly what gift exchange game we will play with it yet…if you have any ideas I’m all ears!
However, finding a gift that met those qualifications, proved to be a challenge! You have to think about everyone’s different interests…ages..etc. So here’s a list of ideas that everyone (or some) will love! Ranging from gourmet food, experiences, kitchen staples, games/toys, and more…there’s something in here for everyone.
Kitchen Staples Under $50
Everyone needs to eat! Lol so kitchen gadgets, tools, and food related items should be a safe bet that anyone could appreciate.

Book Nook Kit
Okay this may not be for everyone, but I think many would enjoy getting into the cozy spirit and putting together a book nook. It’s so relaxing! I think this one called Beyond Library by the MiniCity Store looks awesome. I may order it and keep it for myself…. :) On sale for $40.
#2
Escape Room in a Box
This looks so fun! Solve 19 mental and physical puzzles before unlocking the box. On sale for $30.

We all know pickleball has gotten super popular but not everyone has been introduced yet. This is a great set for beginners that comes with 4 paddles, 4 balls, and a bag! Love the green stripes on it too. Only $44.

Ransom Notes
This games looks hilarious! Players use word magnets to respond to outlandish prompts like “Tell someone you’ve clogged their toilet at a party” with just their limited pool of words. Priced at $35.
Luxury Food Gift Ideas Under $50
Wine & Cheese
If you have wine lovers in your life, a nice bottle paired with an artisan cheese will always be a great gift idea.
Gourmet Marshmallows
The Gourmet part is important. These aren’t your typical grocery store marshmallows, these are handmade delicious marshmallows that come in a variety of fun flavors. This bundle looks amazing from The Marshmallow Co.
Caviar Sampler Kit
I have always wanted to try caviar, and I’m sure a lot of people do, but don’t want to spend the money on it. This sampler kit from World Market is only $25, just add some Crème fraîche and chips to complete it.
Honorable Mentions
More items that I thought would be a great gift idea. From a cold brew coffee maker, portable fire pit, electric kettle, and more! Browse through some of these picks.
