<\/p>\n

OK, so real talk. If your budget for gift-giving is $100 for a special someone, they\u2019re probably not the inflatable arms guy from the corner car dealership. Whether a family member, ride-or-die friend, or serious boo, they\u2019ve probably been in your life for a minute, which is 10 years in Dog Math, as we all know, which means they deserve a holiday gift that will sweep them off their tuchus. <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

We found the best gifts for under $50<\/a><\/strong>, took an eggnog break, and found the best gifts under $20<\/a><\/strong>. Now, in lieu of suggesting gifts that will cost you a ball of twine and your soul [Cursed Crab Chair<\/a> has entered the chat] <\/em>we realized that there are ~select~ few friends, family members, and lovers who we\u2019d like to give something really nice. Something from our favorite cookware brands, top-rated air purifier companies (hey, every friend group has one), and CBD wellness sites, you know?. We\u2019re perusing our favorite Black-owned businesses<\/a>, sniffing out the best remaining Cyber Monday deals<\/a>, and throwing down coins for gifts that keep them on their toes; the kinds of gifts that say, \u201cDo I love you? Maybe. Do I know you? Better than yourself.\u201d <\/p>\n

Open up that carpet bag, because here are the best holiday gifts for everyone, all for under $100.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

They\u2019re the salt to your pepper<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

These salt and pepper shakers are by Le Creuset, which is like the Herm\u00e8s of cast iron cookware, and they look as if they\u2019ve been dipped in a sunset and polished to a fine sheen by the breath of Julia Child herself. They\u2019ll be the perfect pop of color, floating around the kitchen table.  <\/p>\n

So they know they\u2019re family<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Because they have many, many plants\u2014but they don\u2019t have this one. Can you imagine the daily joy of watering your own personal olive tree? Your giftee will feel transported to an island in Greece, or a villa in Northern Italy; they\u2019ll feel like a rich Malibu mom, or anyone who uses the word \u201csummer\u201d as a verb. <\/p>\n

We could write a whole thesis about the cultural staying power of majolica Lettuceware, which was popularized in the 1950s in America by designers like Dodie Thayer and coveted by the likes of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. It\u2019s very classy, a little weird, and will impress any rich Connecticut aunt who visits your abode.<\/p>\n

A puffer, but make it a headscarf<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Make your babcia proud. This is the headscarf to rule all headscarves, because it\u2019s literally made out of puffer material that will make your sweet cheeks and ears feel like they\u2019re getting swaddled everywhere you go, no matter the temps. <\/p>\n

A mellow CBD tincture that tastes like butter<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

One of our editors tested this Standard Dose CBD tincture<\/a> for you, and crowned it \u201cthe workable tincture\u201d for its gentle and calming (but not too calming) effects. CBD consumption by way of dropper is not only, in their opinion, one of the easiest and most effective ways of ingesting CBD, but it will also make you feel like a mamma bird feeding yourself a worm. The bottle is also really beautiful, and the MCT oil<\/a> in the mixture matures its color into a beautiful shade of light pink over time. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Yes, you can. This Japanese tempura shrimp phone stand looks good enough to eat, and satisfies our craving for more interesting, aesthetic tech accessories<\/a>. It\u2019s 2021, for crab cake\u2019s sake! We can do better than making everything rose gold. <\/p>\n

Because everyone knows someone who has the perfect go bag prepped<\/a>, and a short list of the best air purifiers for fire season<\/a>. The Levoit has a 4.8-star average rating on Amazon from over 45,000 reviews, praising the fact that it never quits, is hella quiet, and has thoughtful additions like a nylon mesh pre-filter that \u201cdoes a fantastic job catching larger particles,\u201d according to one customer.  <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Goblincore<\/a>, but make it fashion. Mushrooms are having a major cultural moment<\/a> right now, whether they\u2019re in the kitchen, guiding spiritual\/wellness endeavours<\/a>, or popping up in designer collections<\/a>, because they\u2019re the SAUCE, dude. We want them hanging on our favorite psilocybin lover\u2019s neck, hanging on their wall in the form of a beautiful print, or sitting jauntily upon a shelf as an objet d\u2019art. <\/em><\/p>\n

Looking for the best gifts for people who love food<\/a> for under $100? Gift them a veritable smorgasbord of tasty treats with this round up gift food ~connoisseur~ box, which includes Jos\u00e9 Gourmet sardines in olive oil; Carbone marinara sauce (yes, from the Italian joint in NYC that you always see on @deuxmoi<\/a>); wild albacore tuna,; funfetti snickerdoodle cookie mix (yup, this is not a drill); organic olive oil by Pineapple Collaborative; and one of the sexiest, best non-alcoholic aperitifs<\/a> out there, Ghia, which looks like it waltzed right out of James Bond\u2019s Amalfi Coast pantry. Definitely getting one of these boxes for ourselves, because the picks are that<\/em> great and the savings are wild (one bottle of Ghia alone goes for about $45 at our local fancy supermarket). <\/p>\n

A Stanley Kubrick-worthy clock <\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In other post-post-post-modern news, we\u2019re declaring that clocks are back. Not just the wall clocks, but the good old fashioned, Don Draper-era nightstand clocks that remind us of our own delicious mortality, like this flip clock crafted by one of the world’s original flip clock manufacturers, which has been in business since 1956.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s get real, here. You\u2019re a busy bee, and so is your fluffy companion. You both deserve an inoffensive looking robo-butler that dispenses Fluffy\u2019s food like clockwork, so y\u2019all can keep cuddling on the couch, uninterrupted (and so that little foolio doesn’t wake you up at 6 AM every day).<\/p>\n
