16 Stylish Bridesmaids' Gifts Under $50

The holidays are fast approaching and you still don't have a gift for everyone on your list. Maybe your mother-in-law just called to say that she—and her entire family—will be coming for the long weekend after all. Or perhaps a colleague gifted you a thoughtful present on the last day before the office closed for year. Or you just remembered that you were invited for a holiday gathering and forgot to pick something up. Do these sound like familiar situations? If you're like most people, you've been so busy prepping for visitors and decorating for the holidays that you haven't had a chance to hit the mall or search the internet for those last few items you need—or you've been totally caught off guard by someone's generosity. Don't fear: You can still look like a gift-giving pro without lots of time (or money) to devote towards a present.

To help you shop with confidence, we found a wide array of items that make great last-minute gifts. By that we mean they're thoughtful and personalized (and maybe even customizable!), but you can grab them in no time. Even better, they're all under $50, so springing for one unplanned present won't throw the budget for your holiday spending off too much.

From catch-alls and coffee pots to sweet treats and housewares, these gifts are so great no one will ever expect you chose them in the 11th hour. Click through and add some of these items to your shopping list, then get out there and spread the holiday cheer.
