There's a whole bunch of reasons why someone might be searching for the best gifts under $25. Maybe that's your family's cap on White Elephant gifts, or maybe you're looking for a present for your boss — one that says, "I appreciate you, but I'll need that raise if I'm going to spend $50." Perhaps you're trying to perfect the art of Christmas shopping on a budget. Whatever your motivation, you can rest easy; you're covered this year.

Me? I head to the internet for amazing gifts under $25, because while I know they didn't cost me an arm and a leg, no one else can tell. Then there's the convenience of fast shipping, because when it comes to the holidays, nothing is better than skipping the lines and shopping straight from your computer.
