Both Rachel Cruze and George Kamel are money experts and financial influencers with their own series, channels and books to help you save money. In a recent video, the two teamed up and compiled a list of affordable gifts that people will actually love.
With the holidays in full swing and money being tight for everyone these days, check out what they think are some of the best gifts to get on a budget.
Mix ‘N Chop
For all the chefs in your life, Cruze recommended getting the Mix ‘N Chop — a new take on a meat grinder from Pampered Chef. Cruze said this kitchen tool produces fine ground meat and is “fantastic, not expensive … it’s wonderful.”
The Mix ‘N Chop costs $16 on Pampered Chef’s website.
Extended-Length Phone Charger Cable
Who couldn’t use an extra-long phone charger cable? That’s Kamel’s pick for an affordable tech-related gift.
Kamel said that you can get one — or a multipack — for cheap on Amazon. For example, Cruze and Kamel highlighted this 15-foot iPhone charger, which costs just $11.99 on Amazon.
Apple AirTag
This gift falls under what Cruze calls a “take the hint” gift, meaning it provides the recipient with an extra bit of assistance with something they might not know they need or haven’t taken the time to remedy in their life.
An Apple AirTag is a practical gift for the loved ones in your life who are always misplacing their things. It can be used to “track your phones, track your keys,” Kamel said. “I’ve got it everywhere.”
You can buy an Apple AirTag on Amazon for just $24.
Massage Gun
Cruze labeled this as a great gift for grandparents because it can easily smooth out and help loosen tight muscles at home.
As Kamel explained, these are available at various price points, so you can pick one up that fits your budget. For a more affordable option, Kamel suggested checking out Amazon. This Elefor massage gun, which costs just $29.99 on Amazon, was specifically mentioned.
Customized Signs and Art
What do you get for the person who has it all? Cruze recommended a customized sign or piece of artwork that they can hang somewhere special, showcasing the one-of-a-kind piece for all to see.
Kamel and Cruze agreed that if someone on your gift list already has everything they need, it’s best to go sentimental and personal, which you can still do on a budget with a unique piece of art.
They highlighted this custom welcome sign on Etsy, which starts at $71.95.
