15 Christmas gifts for less than EUR 10

We certainly don't have a big budget for Christmas gifts this year. But don't worry, we believe that great gifts don't have to be the most expensive. And we're going to show you exactly that!

Looking for an original, affordable Christmas gift? Take inspiration from our list of 15 different gift ideas that won't break the bank. All products are priced at EUR 10 or less.

Shall we get started? 

1. A stand for their tablet and headphones 

Let's start with a super handy gift for kids. Our MÖJLIGHET stand is the perfect addition to the office or desk of anyone who doesn't have a specific place to store their tablet, mobile phone or headphones.

Made from steel, its modern design means they can always keep their items on hand, while also taking up very little space. The price? Just EUR 3! Oh! And it comes in red for the more daring and black for those who prefer a more elegant touch

2. A set of bowls  

Does the person you want to give a gift to like Asian cuisine? How about a set of bowls for rice or a delicious soup? ENTUSIASM is a beautiful set of embossed bowls in blue tones for enjoying their favourite dishes. Add these and a set of chopsticks, and voilà, Christmas gift sorted.

Besides the price (EUR 9 for the 4 different bowls), the best thing is that, although they are made from porcelain, they are both microwave- and dishwasher-safe, so they are super easy to use.  

3. A photo of a great moment together 

This year could be a good time to be thankful and recall all the good times you have spent with that person. And what better way than with a photo from that great trip, one of your childhood memories together, or even that old family photo you like so much?

Print your selection (remember you can make a collage) and frame it to give their wall an extra stylish touch. It doesn't have to be too extravagant. Remember, the important thing is highlighting the memory. So, choose a simple, affordable photo frame such as KNOPPÄNG. Its thin frame and white border ensure that the image takes centre stage And it's just EUR 8!

Did you know that this frame is perfect for use with the ALFTA adhesive hook? It's great if you want to hang the frame without using nails or screws. 

4. A planter to give plants a new home 

We continue with a gift to wow plant lovers. And to avoid delving into the dilemma of which plant is most resilient, how much sun it needs or if they prefer a plant with or without flowers, we recommend gifting a nice planter this Christmas to give a new home to the plants they have at home.

In this case, we recommend one of our latest arrivals, the DRÖMSK planter, an accessory with a sophisticated appearance that will fit in anywhere in the house.

This is an affordable model at just EUR 5, but if you'd like to see more options, don't hesitate to check out our special section of indoor planters or even our wide range of decorative vases if you opt for other types of plants.  

5. A stylish, natural magazine rack 

This is a piece that is rarely seen in the home, but certainly adds a very personal touch. A magazine rack like LUSTIGKURRE is a practical, affordable gift for people who love to keep traditional newspapers or magazines on the latest trends at home.

Did you know that this piece is handmade by our professional artisans and is crafted from natural materials? The colour of each piece is therefore different and unique. All this exclusivity for the modest price of EUR 10, the top range of our list.  

6. A basket for storing small items 

If the person you're buying for is the typical person who always has lots of small objects scattered around the house, now is the time to make their daily life a little easier with our next Christmas gift idea.

The LURPASSA basket set is perfect for storing all accessories, such as necklaces and earrings or other small items, such as bath products, like creams, nail varnish etc. These baskets are made from seagrass, a natural material that, besides ensuring sustainability (since it is 100% renewable), gives it a much more artisanal appearance. In this case, this beautiful and environmentally friendly gift costs just EUR 9.  

7. A larger basket for bulky items 

Baskets are not only great for hiding things, but also for adding a touch of personality to a space and filling it with style. This is a great idea to gift to someone who loves a natural style, and an accessory like this can be used for storing objects and for show, for example, in their living room.  

We're once again going back to the natural LUSTIGKURRE series to show you this beautiful basket (which, by the way, is compatible with the spaces in the KALLAX shelf unit) made from dried plants and natural fibres. Thanks to its size, it's perfect for storing games, books… whatever!

How about making a gift pack with a basket and a warm blanket for the living room? They'll love it even more if they like snuggling up under a blanket on the sofa, watching a film.

8. A nice, handy magazine file 

This year we have had to adapt our homes better than ever before so that we have a space to work or study. That's why our next proposal is gifting an accessory that is not only useful, but will add a decorative touch to the work area.

As the shelves will be brimming with documents and books, what could be better than organising everything with beautiful magazine files? The first photo shows our most elegant and subtle model, the TJOG magazine file.

But if the person you're buying for has a much bolder style and prefers a more cheerful design, the PALLRA filers will add a touch of colour to their desk. What's more, they're made from recycled cardboard! And because they come with a label holder, they can easily identify what's inside.  

9. A toiletry bag 

Although this year doesn't stand out for its travel opportunities, it's always great to have a small toiletry bag for those staycations or for our day-to-day activities like the gym or work. That's why VÄRLDENS and DRÖMSÄCK are two of our suggested Christmas gifts.

The first, VÄRLDENS, is a super affordable option (as it only costs EUR 9). And it's handy, too: it's equipped with a small hook so it can be hung anywhere without having to rest the bag on a surface for ease of use.

DRÖMSÄCK, however, stands out for its large capacity. It's ideal for storing larger products, and even for carrying their lunch to work.

Did you know that both VÄRLDENS and DRÖMSÄCK are made from recycled polyester? So they're a perfect gift for moving towards a more sustainable future. Oh! And if that wasn't enough, they're both water repellent too.  

10. A waterproof bag

We know it's a bit of an unusual gift, but that's exactly why it's a good candidate for this list of affordable Christmas gifts. And a waterproof bag is actually really useful, especially for people who do some kind of outdoor activity and want to protect their valuables.

Here's our RENSARE bag, a perfect accessory to take to the pool (where there's usually a lot of moisture), to the beach (as it will also prevent sand from getting in) and even to the mountains (as it's a godsend on rainy days, snowy trails or during activities involving water). See how practical it is? And it costs just EUR 3! 

11. A belt bag

One thing is clear: belt bags have come back into fashion. And we love how comfortable and practical they are. You can take them anywhere and they weigh practically nothing. In fact, they're great accessories for carrying all the essentials these days.

Our VÄRLDENS belt bag can carry a small bottle of hand sanitiser, keys, their wallet and even a reusable cloth bag in case they go shopping.

Do you like it as a Christmas gift? You'll like the price even more, as this belt bag costs just EUR 8. 

12. Scented candles 

If the person you're buying for enjoys relaxing at home, gifting them some scented candles will be a sure hit.

Not only are they beautiful and decorative, our OMRÅDE candles give off a pleasant scent and are perfect for creating an ambience at home. Their fragrance can be the perfect companion for lounging on the sofa while listening to their favourite music or creating a zen atmosphere while practising yoga in the living room. What's more, as it comes in a glass, there is no danger of the wax spilling, and when they want to blow it out, they can simply leave it as part of the room's decor.

If you're not convinced, you can always choose to buy loose candles and add STABBIG.

13. A set of piping bags 

Given that we've spent more time cooking this year, more than one person at home is sure to have become a baking expert. How about a gift so they can keep making those delicious cakes?

We recommend this cake decoration set, SMAKSAM. This will allow them to create works of art on their cakes, muffins, biscuits… It comes with six piping tips to create different shapes with all kinds of fillings, a decorating spatula and a cake divider. Everything they could ever need! And all for just EUR 6. 

14. A meat thermometer/timer 

While we're talking about cooks, here's a gift idea for those who love the stove. Let's move on from cakes to a delicious roast. 

If this person likes to monitor the time and temperature of their creations precisely, they urgently need a thermometer/timer like FANTAST. It's very simple to use and they'll absolutely love seeing how their recipes achieve results that would rival a professional chef.  

15. Decorative mirrors 

Finally, we're rounding out this list of affordable and original Christmas gifts with a set of two LIHOLEN decorative mirrors.

Although we do well to call them 'decorative', the truth is that they are also very useful for everyday life. They're one of those little things that every house must have. What's more, as LIHOLEN are small in size, they're easy to transport from bathroom to bedroom, if needed. That's why this two-mirror set is the perfect gift for Christmas, as it combines originality, practicality and great affordability all in one gift.  

What did you think? We hope you feel inspired and have a better idea of what you can gift this Christmas without spending a fortune along the way. Remember that price isn't indicative of whether a gift is good or not.
