37 Gifts That Don't Cost A Lot But Will Absolutely Become One Of Their Favorites
An Ikea bag coin purse that'll just be the cutest thing they ever did see — it's perfectly sized to hold their earbuds and keys while paying tribute to the greatest thing to come out of Sweden (aside from their meatballs, obvs). A waterproof version of the beloved Taco, Cat, Goat Cheese, Pizza game — it's a card game they can play with their family for guaranteed giggles and a way to catch their breath from traipsing around in the ocean. A tiny bookshelf that'll quickly become their favorite way to de-stress after a long day — they can shake it to send the teeny books flying, then (after a restorative deep breath) put them back on the shelf. My apologies to their rage room membership, this might just be the solution they need. A jute tote for your friend who spends their weekends hunting through their local farmers market for the freshest flowers and would really benefit from a sturdy bag to help carry them home. One reviewer even used it to display florals on their wall! A shockingly realistic-looking soup can safe to stash their life savings in so they can live without the fear of their sibling's grubby little paws trying to snatch it and spend it all on ice cream. A light-up flying orb that'll make them feel like David Blaine whenever they break it out for a mental break from doom-scrolling. It's basically a fidget spinner for tech fiends — it has built-in lighting, a boomerang effect, and can be thrown at a variety of angles and speeds! A tube of Summer Fridays lip butter balm for your bestie who has a habit of reapplying over and over mid-gossip sesh — replenish their stash with a conditioning, shea and murumuru seed butter–packed option they'll love as much as they do spilling tea with the girls. And a keychain cap holder designed to fit their new fave Summer Fridays lip balm to ensure they don't lose it when they're out and about in the sun, sipping an iced coffee, riding their bike along the boardwalk, lounging at the beach, eating an ice cream cone, etc. A balloon-dog bag charm that'll help them climb aboard the ~bag charm train~ without compromising the quirky style they've carefully put together over the years. Allllllllll aboard! Or a novelty crossbody bag they can count on to always be the literal cherry on top of all of their looks. It's big enough to hold all of their essentials (phone, wallet, keys, lip balm) but small enough that they won't be able to overstuff it like they do their other everyday bag. A trio of hypoallergenic gold-plated earrings for anyone who is tired of their current lineup and wants an easy, trendy fix they can pop into their lobes and say, "Ooh, cute!" A gold-plated paper clip necklace from affordable (and fabulous) jewelry brand Pavoi, whose sole mission seems to be finding a way to glam up all of our looks without having to gobble up all of our dollars. One reviewer even used it as a base to make a charm necklace! And a set of golden bracelets that'll make it seem like you've splurged on the famed Cartier versions but for less than 20 bucks! They can wear 'em together or separate them and pair them up with their already-loved baubles. A set of LED lightsaber chopsticks you're going to need to order two sets of so you can share 'em with the Chewbacca to your Han Solo (aka whoever happens to be who you get sushi with every Friday night). One reviewer even ingeniously used them as hair accessories when visiting Galaxy's Edge! Ruffled crew socks with delicate flowers embroidered along them that'll bring their cottagecore vibes into a new season. They're breathable (perfect for summer) and will add a little extra *~somethin', somethin'~* to any outfit. A Creamy Coconut fragrance rollerball with a scent to transport them right into an island paradise anytime they apply it to their wrists. Is this what the Love Island villa smells like?! I'd like to think so. Lego cherry blossoms to add to their already-cherished brick bouquet or to plop into that darling little vase that's been sitting empty on their desk forever because they've never been willing to commit to keeping actual blooms alive. The I Love Trader Joe's Cookbook complete with 150 recipes, all using ingredients they can pick up at their beloved supermarket of choice. They can spend the next month cooking up a storm! A Bluetooth scrolling remote that'll take their laziness trait to the next level but leave them feeling smug at the same time for working smarter, not harder. They can set this bad boy up, get under the covers, and enjoy some seriously cozy, hands-free scrolling. A NeeDoh "Dream Drop," a must-have sensory fidget toy for anyone who can't seem to get their brain to focus on one task at a time. (Too many tabs open both literally and figuratively!) This lil' squish block is super satisfying to play with and reviewers love that it isn't sticky (no gross debris to try to clean off). A rechargeable heated ice cream scoop so they won't have to wait for their Ben & Jerry's Chunky Monkey Ice Cream to soften before *literally* digging in. Not a moment to waste!!! Some colored pencils with multi-colored tips that'll transform any boring coloring sesh into something straight out of their wildest dreams. I hope their imagination is ready to put these babies to work! A quilted leather crossbody purse that'll be reminiscent of the Chanel one they've always coveted, but comes in fun colors the brand would never touch. One ticket to Compliment City, coming right up. Murdle, Volume 1, a compilation of murder mystery–themed logic puzzles that are reminiscent of the ever-popular Wordle game — perfect for cracking open poolside. This version will encourage them to use powers of deduction and various clues to solve the mysteries throughout the book. Sherlock Holmes, who? An assortment of tomato seed packets that have been designed to look like tarot cards — aka the perfect gift for your friend who has both witchy vibes *and* a green thumb. A "Beverage Buddee" can cover they can add to their Diet Coke can or preferred spiked seltzer. It'll keep bugs and other random debris out of their drink (yuck) so they can enjoy it while you kick back in Adirondack chairs and exchange gossip without concern. A set of cowboy straw toppers so when they use their cup as a makeshift microphone to scream-sing Kacey Musgraves (again), they'll be adorably on theme. When I say "yee" you say "haw!" An Owala FreeSip water bottle in an exciting color that'll ensure no one ever picks up theirs by mistake while they're chatting up the cute lifeguard at the pool this summer. Not to mention, it's made of triple-layered, vacuum-insulated stainless steel that'll keep their drink cold for 24 hours *and* two ways to drink from it (a spout and a straw!) A neck reading light that's easy on the eyes, simpler to manage than a clip-on light, and a welcome addition to their nightly routine of falling asleep while reading a romance novel. And a personalized book stamp they can use to literally make their mark in the novels they typically loan out to fellow book club buds. A pickleball set to pay homage to their new favorite hobby! It comes with two paddles, four balls, and a bag to ensure they have the best-looking gear of all their competitors. Their nemesis' hot streak is about to be OVER! Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 59 Hair & Body Perfume Mist, designed to channel the brand's ever-popular Cheirosa 62 but with a more woodsy vibe that's perhaps more fitting to their preference. It has delectable notes of sandalwood and vanilla orchid — so good they'll want to bask in their own scent all day. Or a bottle of Dossier's "Ambery Vanilla" perfume you know they'll adore since you were with them when they tried the sample size of YSL's Black Opium at the mall and fell in love with it but didn't have $95 to shell out. Luckily for them (and your wallet), this one is super similar and will leave you with enough money left to *also* treat both of you to lunch. Poems of Parenting, a book of relatable poems that'll have any new or seasoned parent laughing, crying, and feeling ALL the things. It perfectly captures what it's like to be a parent in today's world in hilarious but emotional sentiments they'll find themselves sending pics of to their mom squad with the same fervor they do memes on Insta. A wireless keyboard and mouse set featuring an aesthetic vibe that might just make them *actually* look forward to spending eight hours at their desk. At the very least their coworkers will be super jealous of how coordinated their workspace looks. A filtering straw to keep any grinds from traveling up, out, and into their mouth. This happened to me recently while sipping on an iced instant coffee... I promptly had to rinse my mouth out. Spare your pal this unpleasant experience, will ya? Not only will this straw filter out any debris, but they can also use it to brew coffee *directly* into any mug or cup (for cold brew). Genius. Or, Oxo's compact Brew Rapid Brewer that'll have anyone wondering, "Where has this been all of my life?" They can toss it into their work bag and literally make cold brew or hot coffee at their desk after surviving the morning commute traffic — it doesn't need to be plugged in or charged!

After years of supporting performance in award-worthy film and TV, Anthony Mackie is happy just to be nominated. Celebrating his first two Emmy nominations, for The Studio and Shark Beach with Anthony Mackie: Gulf Coast, admitted he was expecting one of his white co-stars to get recognized when he heard the news. More from Deadline Primetime Emmy Nominations: 'Severance' Leads Field Ahead Of 'The Penguin', 'The Studio' & 'The White Lotus' – Full List 'The Studio': Seth Rogen Reveals A-List Guest Stars For Apple TV+ Comedy From Anthony Mackie To Olivia Wilde In New Clip — Watch Doc Talk Podcast: Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine Uncovers Astonishing Photographic Talent In 'Memories Of Love Returned'; Emmy Noms Debrief 'I didn't know. I was at work,' he noted on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. 'And when I'm at work, I work. You gonna cut the check when I bring the business, you know?' Mackie then heard murmurs about the Emmys on set, recalling, 'And I look over and everybody's like, 'Congratulations!' And I was like, 'Oh, what white dude got nominated?' Because I'm the white dude legend when it comes to nomination and winning. So, I made Ryan Gosling [Half Nelson] famous, I made Jeremy Renner [The Hurt Locker] famous, I made Bryan Cranston [All the Way] famous, I made, now, Ron Howard famous. I'm like, 'You wanna get nominated? I'm the dude.' I am the sauce, I am the jelly in the donut.' With a Primetime Emmy nod for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series, Mackie is in good company, nominated alongside fellow The Studio guests Howard, Cranston, Martin Scorsese and Dave Franco, as well as The Bear's Jon Bernthal. 'The way I look at it, I'm very honored and proud to be nominated. But the reality of it is, I'm excited to be in second place,' he told Fallon. 'You know, it's Ron Howard and it's Scorsese, so one of them are gonna take it, but they're gonna take votes from the other person. So, I'm gonna be in second.' Mackie added, 'I don't care about winning. Winning is being nominated against Scorsese and Ron Howard. Because one of them is going to have to say, 'Damn! I lost to Anthony Mackie.' They're thinking about me, they're shaking.' Additionally, Mackie has received a Daytime Emmy nomination for Outstanding Daytime Personality – Non-Daily, recognizing his NatGeo series Shark Beach with Anthony Mackie: Gulf Coast.

They also offer audiobooks if that's more their speed! A colorful pin that'll help take the guesswork over what they should order for dinner — no more endless debating while hungrily scrolling through the Seamless app. A huggable knot pillow unlike anything they've probably seen before — it was designed to delight the senses and help stress dissipate.
