The 2023 holiday season is officially upon us, which means our bank accounts are going to feel some pain. For those on a budget, the best Amazon gifts under $25 aren’t hard to come by — so breathe a sigh of relief and let’s get to shopping.
Cryotherapy facials are, for example, a service that could run well into the hundreds of dollars for a single session, but a reusable ice roller can encourage similar results for only $8. Touchland’s rosewater hand sanitizer is a far cry from the harsh-smelling drugstore options and delivers a touch of luxury to daily life. And silk pillowcases? There is no greater joy than resting your head on a cool-to-the-touch pillow that won’t tangle hair or cause facial creasing.
If you’re struggling to check everyone off your list without sacrificing your savings, we’ve rounded up the best Amazon gifts under $25. Peruse the below to start brainstorming budget-friendly gift ideas — but please don’t forget it’s always the thought that counts.

Cosrx Snail Mucin Repair Essence
All hail the hyperpigmentation-healing power of snail mucin. Cosrx’s Snail Mucin Repair Essence has flooded many TikTok FYPs to date and the hype doesn’t seem like it’ll die down anytime soon. All skin types, including sensitive skin, can benefit from this intensely hydrating formula, which consists of 96.3% snail secretion filtrate, hyaluronic acid, and allantoin. (FYI, snails are placed dark and quiet environment for 30 minutes so they can secrete as they please before being placed back in their homes — no harm induced.)
P.S. Also clocking in at $25 is Cosrx’s All About Snail Kit, a giftable, travel-friendly set of snail mucin core products (gel cleanser, essence, eye cream, and moisturizer).

Essie Expressie Quick Dry Nail Polish Set
At-home manicures are made exponentially easier with fast-drying formulas, which is where the giftable Essie Expressie Quick Dry Nail Polish Set comes in. This foolproof, Best of Beauty-winning formula dries in a minute flat without needing base or topcoat — yep, you read that right. The colors in this particular bundle are fab, too: an appropriately named “Seize The Minute” blue-toned red and “Now Or Never” true black.

This water-based (and Best of Beauty-winning) formula is fast-absorbing and lightweight, using sunflower seed oil, green tea, and cica to soothe and hydrate — all without leaving a trace of white cast.

Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentraté
Gift them a trip to Paris (sort of) with Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentraté, a French pharmacy favorite revered by makeup artists and celebrities alike. With hydrating ingredients like aloe vera, beeswax, shea butter, and soy protein, this packs a punch of nongreasy moisture with a somewhat tacky finish that makes it an ideal makeup base.
