45 Cute Home Gifts Under $45

Before we get into it, I want to quickly preface how I picked all of these cute products. I picked these gifts with myself in mind (typical). Specifically for people like me who are renting tiny apartments in big expensive cities who don’t have a ton a room. However, these products could work for just about anyone. I hope you enjoy it!

1. Candles Galore

Candles are the perfect home decor gift because they are multi-functional. I don’t know about you, but I light candles for the scent (obvi) and because they make me feel like an adult! Probably because I finally trust myself not to burn my apartment down. Yay! We love self-growth. 

The candles below will provide you or a friend with some pleasant aromas throughout your home all while adding a pop of personality to any space. My personal favorite is the succulent candles, so cute. 

2. All The Drinkware

There’s something about drinking out of cute wine glasses or mugs that fills me with the ultimate joy. Dramatic? Yes. But it’s the little things, right? I know I can’t be the only out who feels the same. 

These products below are perfect for the coffee or wine drinker in your life (or both). These drinkware items are so adorable and are sure to bring a smile to you or a friend in the morning before work or when winding down after a long day of being a bad bitch. 

3. Plant Shit

Plant shit! Whether you have a green or black thumb, you can find some useful plant items for the people you love. For me, plants bring a little life to my tiny apartment! They are also cool (specifically real ones) because they give you a little sense of responsibility which some of us need sometimes. Water your plants, people!

The products below are not traditional planters. They can be used throughout various parts of the home to add a little life (real or fake) to any space. Plants or plant accessories as a great gift for anyone. I suggest buying a plant to stick in these bad boys to maximize the potential of said gift. Click here for awesome plant suggestions!

4. All Things Gold

Gold is hands-down my favorite accent color ever. It makes the perfect accessory for any home, especially one with a boho-chic vibe which is very trendy right now! Check out my post about how to turn your home into a boho dream here.

Anyways, the items I picked out below are the perfect way to add a touch of gold throughout any home. I particularly love wall decor (clearly) as it can dramatically change any room’s aesthetic. See below for my fave gold items!

5. Art Art Art

You knew this was coming! I’m a sucker for some art (check out some of my favorite artists here). My room is filled with a bunch of different artists that I’ve found online. The cool thing about wall art is that you can mix and match so many different art styles to create your own vibe. Always remember that there are no rules for home decor! Do whatever you want boo. 

The items bring me so much joy, probably because I’m super biased towards anything ocean-related or with boho vibes (obvi cause I’ve mentioned that 14 times already). Anyways, all of the pieces of art below are affordable and are sure to make the perfect gift for anyone looking to spice up their walls!

Let’s Wrap It Up
