5 best gifts under $20 to give from Amazon, Sephora and more
From hand sanitizer and hand cream to indoor plants, house slippers and more, here are the best gifts under $20.




Since we’re spending more time indoors these days, and not just due to the colder weather, house slippers can be another great gift. These slippers feature an open toe, memory foam cushion and a fuzzy faux fur upper for a luxurious feel. Plus, you can find them in a few colors, including Pink and Black. And if you prefer a closed toe option, check out this quilted memory foam one.
As temperatures drop and the air becomes dryer, hand creams are also a good gift to give during this time of year. Associate commerce editor Nicole Saunders especially enjoys Nécessaire products for their scents, ingredients and commitment to producing sustainably. “More importantly, it features vitamin B3 or niacinamide, which helps retain moisture, vitamin C, which has a brightening effect, and vitamin E, which is rich in antioxidants and helps hydrate dry hands.”
Whether you’re shopping for someone with limited space, or who loves succulents otherwise, consider this set of five. While the individual plants are on the smaller side, they can be placed throughout the house on a windowsill, on a desk, in the kitchen or grouped together on a designated table. And if you want to add more to your collection, they also come in sets of 12 and 20. If you’re shopping for a more serious plant lover or gardener, check out this string of pearls houseplant, which NBC News Shopping readers seem to enjoy.
Although primarily functional, face masks can also be fashionable and there are many options to shop from Athleta, Etsy, Vistaprint and other popular brands. This mask sports the Herschel Supply Co. logo, comprises three layers and features a pocket to insert a filter. Additionally, it includes earloops with adjustable toggles and a nose bridge for a snug fit.
While you take a look at the above gift ideas, here is a list of retailers with specific filters for gifts that cost less than $20 (or $25) for easy browsing, including clothing, jewelry, skincare and more.
