Top 5 Gifts Under $50
1) Precision Manual Coffee Grinder
Grind it just how you like it. This ceramic burr coffee grinder helps you get the just-right coarseness of ground coffee, depending on your coffee maker (and taste). There are 15 grind settings and it’s made from stainless steel with a ceramic burr that won’t dull or rust over time.
2) Minimalist Leather & Elastic Wallet - Black
This elastic and leather minimalist wallet holds credit cards and cash in a super-slim design. Three pockets holds ten cards, and there’s a fast-access slot for two. Handcrafted in the UK with vegetable-tanned, full-grain Italian leather.
3) Single Color Pleated Necklace
A fabric statement necklace is the best of both worlds—major visual impact, without the weight. Greek lighting designer Alexandra Tsoukala creates these necklaces with remnants from her lighting installations, using pleated strands inspired by Greek sculpture. The result is a fluid piece that catches the light and moves as you wear it—and can look different each time.
4) Bangle Key Ring

5) Smartignition Electric Lighter
Start a fire or light a candle in an easier way. This electric lighter creates a charging arc without a flame or any odor. Best of all? It is USB rechargeable, so it’s a reusable and longer-lasting alternative to disposable butane lighters.
