10 Gifts Under $10 That Look Way More Expensive
Oh, the holidays. While getting in the spirit and giving and receiving can be so much fun, it’s hard to enjoy the seven secret Santa’s you’ve been included in when you’re broke.
But have no fear, because there is a way to do it without breaking the bank. Here are 10 gifts under $10 that look like they could be much more expensive.

2. Wrap Cord Choker, $7
This looks like something Kim K would wear, and you should literally find a really nice jewelry bag or box to wrap it in to make it really look expensive.
3. Succulents, $6.95
Another gift that could not only benefit the person your giving it to, but their Instagram feed too. These are really cheap, but so cute and they last a long time with relatively little water.
4. Fancy-looking condoms, $9.59
Everyone needs condoms, and you’re basically saving your friends from the social anxiety and pain of having to embarrassingly ask the bodega man for the condoms behind the counter. Could also be a gag gift for your lesbian friends, or a serious one for your straight-as-a-board friends.

A sloth tea diffused? For under $10? Look at it’s little hands that cup the edge of your mug, how freaking cute! And it’s smiling! Your animal-loving friends will adore this for sure.
7. External Battery Charger, $7.69

8. Giant One-Pound Snickers Bar, $9.89
For the friend that’s always bragging about being on the latest diet. One pound of pure sugar, carbs and chocolate. Every dieters nightmare, but you can cheat around the holidays, right?
9. 3-in-1 Avocado Opener, $9.95
I wish I had this honestly, and it’s really cheap. Especially with avocado toast being such a trendy thing to eat, and to post on Instagram. Do you see a trend here?
10. Grow a Boyfriend, $4.59
This is the only item on this list that I think looks cheap, but it was too funny not to include. It’s definitely a gag gift for your single girlfriends or gay friends. The Grow-a-Boyf is the only man who really does grow six times his size!
