According to Buddy the Elf, one of the best ways to “spread Christmas cheer is to sing a song for all to hear.” According to us at The Quality Edit one of the best ways to spread Christmas cheer is gifting one of your favorite direct-to-consumer items.
And because there is a lot of cheer to spread, you aren’t going to want to break the bank while doing so. That’s where this list of gifts under $100 comes in handy. Last year, the average American household spent approximately $1,455 on holiday gifts. And this year, shoppers should plan on spending more because of rising goods costs and inflation.
The good news is there are ways to save and awesome gifts that won’t have you dishing out hundred-dollar bills. Keep reading for our favorite gifts for under $100.

For The Décor Lover Ready To Spruce Things Up
You can never go wrong with a bud vase. When it comes to entertaining, bud vases are one of the easiest ways to beautify a table. And this Year and Day affordable Bud Vase ($40) is just what the hostess ordered. The Serving Bowl Set ($98) or Serving Spoons ($64) from Fable elevate any dinner table and are sure to become someone’s new go-to.

This is a gift that puts the fun in functional, not to mention, beloved by Michelle Obama, Tiffany Haddish and Robin Roberts to name just a few.

For Those Who Cherish A Quiet, Relaxing Night In
There’s nothing like chestnuts roasting by the fire, with some soft music playing in the background and a good puzzle. Jiggy (from $40), founded by The Skimm’s former Head of Marketing and Community, is a modern take on the classic jigsaw puzzle. The images on Jiggy puzzles are created by emerging female artists and each puzzle comes with a tube of puzzle glue, a tool to spread the glue and a print of the art to follow. You get a puzzle and a masterpiece.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year – and this candle smells just like it! With base notes of sugar, spruce and cedar; mid notes of eucalyptus and mistletoe wreath; and top notes of fraser fir and holly berry, it’s the gift for the person who’s had their holiday decorations up since November 1st sharp. Homesick’s candles are non-toxic, made from a natural soy wax, and have a burn time of 60-80 hours, so they can keep this one burning all season long.
Combine that with some Peppermint Drinking Chocolate from Bixby Chocolate ($13.20) and you’ve got a quiet night to remember and a mouth-watering hot treat that tastes like the holidays with every sip.
You can also give an at-home spa experience with Barfoot Scientists Hyper Hydrating Set ($56) and Olive and June’s mani system (starting at $50), another one of our favorite DTC brands.

For A Winter Wardrobe Refresh
We can all use a wardrobe refresh when the weather outside is frightful. All Birds, one of our favorite sustainable brands, is stepping away from sneakers this holiday season with its Wool Lounger Fluff (on sale for $59). Pair the slip-on's with a pair of the world’s softest sweats, Vuori Performance Joggers ($94), and you’ve got the perfect present for a lazy Sunday morning.
This is the gift for the woman who craves comfort and style. These ballet slippers from Bombas ($55) are designed with an ultra-warm wool-cashmere blend (inside and out!) for constantly-cozy feet. Not to mention a memory foam and EVA midsole for support, and a rubber outsole just in case she needs to wear them out of the house (it’s the holiday season – anything goes). Keep her feeling snuggly no matter how low the temps drop – and be sure to size up on this gift if she prefers a roomier fit!
A new pair of cashmere gloves is always a solid gift choice. At $36, the price is right for Italic’s Cashmere Ripped-Cuff Gloves, which are now available to all -- membership free!
And these vibrant colored knit and crocheted winter hats from Be.Happe Designs are my new favorites, for both the warmth and the adorable mommy and me styles. You can buy the mommy and me bundle for $84 or one hat starting at $48. By doing so you’re supporting a team of female creatives who make each hat by hand.
