Finding gifts for friends and loved ones that won’t break the bank — yet deliver priceless loads of fun — can take time and effort. Luckily for you, I’ve done lots of legwork and compiled my findings into this list. From family-friendly trivia games to cozy wool socks, you can rest assured that all of the cheap gifts in here are 10 times better than what you usually give. So go ahead and add a few to your cart.

01The rustic candle that can burn for up to 48 hours

Not only is this candle made from all-natural beeswax, but its unique design is also sure to get conversations started when guests are visiting. It has a burn rate of up to 48 hours — so you won’t have to replace it anytime soon. But if that isn’t enough? The beeswax is less likely to leave drips on your tables than paraffin.

02A weird AF dumpster pencil holder that comes with flamey note cards

Place this pencil holder on your desk so that you can get a laugh the next time that project at work devolves into a dumpster fire. Each order comes with 100 note cards included, all of which are designed to look like fire — just for the sake of enhancing its look. One reviewer also wrote, “It’s super well made, pieces punch out easily, very simple to put together.”

03A compact external battery that can charge an iPhone more than 3 times

Few things are as annoying as having your phone run out of battery while you’re away from home. Luckily, this external battery is an easy fix. It can hold enough power to charge an iPhone 8 more than three times, whereas a Galaxy S8 can be powered up to 2.5 times. But if that isn’t enough? It also features PowerIQ technology that automatically adjusts its charging speed in order to power your phone up as fast as possible.

04The wind spinner that adds a pop of color to dull patios

Regardless of how you’ve decorated your patio or balcony, this wind spinner is sure to be a gorgeous addition. It’s made from tough stainless steel that won’t rust over time — and the pieces have been laser cut so that it spins without snagging whenever a breeze rolls through. One reviewer wrote, “It looks so pretty as it spins with the wind especially when the sun is out.”

05A fire starter tool for camping (or doomsday prepping)

Whereas a regular flame lighter can quickly run out of fuel, this magnesium ferro rod lasts through up to 16,000 strikes, making it a cost-effective upgrade before your next camping trip. It’ll also work in rain, snow, or wind — so there’s no need to worry about the weather. Each one also comes with an attached whistle, compass, as well as 8-core paracord.

06An adult coloring book with fun swear words & markers included

Sometimes it’s the simplest things that can help you relax after a long day — like this adult coloring book. It’s filled with funny puns and swear words surrounded by easy-to-color designs. And since it’s made with thick paper, you won’t have to worry about the markers (which come included) bleeding through to the next page.

07The ceramic ring holder with an adorable succulent sitting in the center

There’s no denying that this ring holder is a cute addition to any vanity. The succulent in the center can hold multiple rings, while the dish underneath gives you even more storage space for your jewelry. And if you aren’t into succulents? You can also grab it as a cactus or cat.

08Concert ear plugs that come in 10 different stylish finishes

Unlike the crummy foam ear plugs you’ve likely been using, these ones help filter out noises so that you can still hear live events without the added pressure on your ear drums. The ends are designed to look like stylish gold hoops — and they even come in 10 different finished to match any outfit (black, rose gold, silver, and more).

09An icy koozie that fits both bottles & cans

Whereas some stainless steel koozies only fit cans or bottles, this one features a versatile design that can be adjusted so that it fits water bottles, glass bottles, as well as regular cans. Its vacuum-insulated walls also help keep your hands dry from condensation. The best part? Each order also includes a bottle opener for convenience.

10A jewelry tray that’s personalized with a monogrammed letter

You don’t need an entire jewelry box if you want somewhere to keep your necklaces and rings. Enter: this tray. A monogrammed letter on the top gives it an elegant touch — and it’s made from sleek ceramic that’s lead- as well as cadmium-free. And if you don’t have much jewelry? It works just as well holding keys, coins, Bobby pins, and more.

11This nourishing mask that helps moisturize dry, cracked hands

When no amount of regular lotion seems to help hydrate your hands, it may be time to give this mask a try. Prebiotic oat and shea butter work together to deliver a nourishing dose of moisture to dry skin — and the non-greasy formula won’t leave your hands feeling slimy.

12Geodes that you can break open to reveal sparkling crystals

Need an activity for a rainy day at home with your kids? Look no further than these geodes.

The next time you’re presented with a situation you don’t give many f*cks about, feel free to hand out one of these f*cks.

And since all the f*cks come in a cute glass jar, you can even set them out on your desk or shelves as decoration.

21A leakproof water bottle designed specifically for dogs

Instead of packing a separate water bowl for your dog when traveling, bring this water bottle with you. It features an attached bowl so that it’s easy for your dog to lap up water when they’re thirsty. And since it’s leakproof, there’s no need to worry about it spilling inside of your bag.

22Rechargeable hand warmers that can help you stay toasty for up to 4 hours
