Need Help Finding the Perfect Gift? How About These 8 Small Gift Ideas?

September 13, 2023 by Melissa Batai

small gifts

Whether attending a birthday party or giving a Secret Santa gift at work, having an array of small gift ideas handy can help make your gift shopping easier. The secret to making the recipient happy is to pick a gift that most people will enjoy. You’ll also be satisfied if the gift is easy on the wallet.

8 Small Gift Ideas for All Ages

Here are some gift ideas for kids, women, and men. Happy shopping!

For Children

These ideas suit boys and girls under ten years old.

Aaron’s Thinking Putty

Aaron’s Thinking Putty comes in various colors and designs, including sparkly. Kids love to shape, pop, and stretch it. This toy is addictive!

Mini Lego Set

You can find mini-Lego sets for approximately $8 to $20. There is an array of Lego Friends sets for girls or Lego City cars for boys. In addition, there are gender-neutral sets featuring birds, dinosaurs, and holiday themes.

Twinkle Lights

Consider twinkle lights for the older kids on your list (eight years old and older). Kids string these around their room, and in the evening, they can turn off their bedroom lights and bask in the soft glow of these lights. My daughters love these.

For Women/Teen Girls

For women or teen girls on your list, consider these gifts:

Burt’s Bees Gift Set

Burt’s Bees offers several gift sets, including Lip Balm Holiday Gift Set, Assorted Lip Balm Gift Set, and Face Essentials Holiday Gift Set, to name a few. In addition, for the socially conscious consumer, Burt’s Bees is cruelty-free because they do not test on animals.

Most men love music, so they can appreciate Genius Music Playing cards. Each suit has a different theme—hearts are pop, spades are rock and roll, diamonds are folk and country, and clubs are blues and R&R.

Beer Chiller Sticks for Bottles

No more warm beer on hot summer days. Freeze one of these sticks for 45 minutes, insert it in your glass beer bottle, and enjoy refreshingly cool beer.

For Teens

If you’re looking for a gift that is good for teen boys or girls, consider

Magnetic Fidget Pen

This is a pen, but you can also deconstruct it to make all sorts of shapes and forms. This is a functional and fun fidget toy with a price that is perfect–$11.99

Final Thoughts

One of these eight small gift ideas might be perfect for the person on your list who you don’t know well or for small stocking stuffers this holiday season.
