You don’t have to tell us just how pricey some of the best home goods on the market are. But no matter how comfortable, eye-catching, or status-setting any of these luxurious pieces of decor might be, there’s no price tag you can put on the general gift of giving — or, depending on your situation, the advantage of saving. Nevertheless, there’s more to maintaining a well-designed home than lounge chairs and cashmere blankets, as the little things throughout anyone’s living space are typically what make them so unique. With help from our guide to the best home gifts under $50, one of those little things could be thanks to you.

A well-scented home is great and all, but maintaining one is equally important. This solid brass incense holder from Craighill is discrete, sturdy, and bound to do away with flying ashes.
