To be incredibly honest with you, I’ve never been good at gift-giving. In fact, I’d actually call myself bad at gift-giving—maybe even miserable at it. I once waited until February to get my Secret Santa a gift from the wishlist she’d thoughtfully laid out in November; by the time I got to it, more than half of it was sold out, so I resorted to sending her money on Venmo, instead. Yeah, that’s how horrible I am at gift-giving.
But I’ve realized something: Retailers make gift-giving easy on us. A quick glimpse at Urban Outfitters’ or Anthropologie’s carefully curated holiday holiday gift guides will reveal that the internet is loaded with incredible—and incredibly cool—gifts under $100.

The buyers (and marketers) at our favorite retailers have, essentially, done the work for us. They’ve realized that our astrology-loving friends would benefit from a zodiac sign-themed catch-all tray, or zodiac sign-themed candle, or zodiac sign-themed necklace and ring set. They’ve caught on to the fact that tarot cards, crystals and sage bundles are some of this year’s must-have items, and they’ve stocked up on them accordingly.
They’ve also loaded up on timelessly enticing items—like instant-print cameras the size of your phone, or cocktail shaker sets that are as pretty as they are useful, or beach towels that are so cute and Instagrammable that you’ll be mentally planning your next vacation before you’ve even managed to add the damn thing to your cart.

The best thing about these gifts? You don’t have to have someone in mind when you shop them. You can fly blind, comb through the offerings and wait until you inevitably feel inspired by one of the items you see. And trust me when I say: You will. In the process of making this gift guide, I’ve already come up with gifts for, like, six of my friends—and I’m genuinely excited about the gift-giving process for the first time ever. (I’m not kidding or exaggerating. At all.)
So whether you’re shopping for the Secret Santa you’ve long neglected, the best friend who already has everything or, you know, yourself, you’re sure to find something worth the buy. Ahead, I’ve rounded up 37 of the coolest, best gifts under $100 I’ve found—a handful of which I already own, and a handful of which I’m about to buy for my closest friends.
