Holiday Gift Guide: Gifts under $50

With the holiday season rapidly approaching, we’re busy getting our gift-shopping lists in order. And we’re sure you must be doing the same!

As hard as it can be to find just the right gift for the most special people in your life, it can almost be twice as hard to choose the right items for your seldom-seen aunts, uncles, cousins, neighbors, etc. You definitely want to get something nice and useful, but you don’t want to break your budget! Think about it… what can you even get these days that costs less than $50 but still gets a genuine “oh wow, thanks!” from your fussy Aunt Catherine?

More than you think!

Fancy a Spot of Tea?

Our Kenmore Elite Costner 2.3-quart stainless steel tea kettle is just great for gifting, especially for those who appreciate a quality hot beverage. Designed with an encapsulated base for optimal heat distribution, this classy kettle sports a flip-up spout with an old-school built-in whistle. And with its timelessly stylish good-looks, your gift recipient might want to whistle right back! It’s suitable for use on gas, ceramic, glass, coil, and induction stovetops. And with any luck, you might get invited over for a cup of tea more often.

Sharp, and Sharp-Looking

Dull knives are a drag. They make food prep harder and more time-consuming. And they’re more prone to accidents than using fresh, sharp blades as well. The Kenmore Kane 14-piece stainless steel forged knife set includes an 8-inch chef’s knife, 7-inch Santoku, bread knife, 5-inch utility blade, 3. 5-Inch paring knife, and six steak knives plus kitchen shears, sharpener, and a heavy rubber-coated wood block… all with cool-looking glacier blue handles. The high-carbon stainless steel blades are forged and honed to a razor-sharp edge. And they are triple-riveted to ergonomically balanced handles for ideal control.

Silent Night… and All Day, Too!

The Kenmore PM1010 air purifier is a small wonder that virtually anyone would love to see under their tree! Its powerful, 3-stage True HEPA filtration system captures up to 99.97% of airborne non-living dust particles down to 0.3 microns. And in case you missed that day in Science class, that’s really super-tiny! It clears the air of smoke, odors, and pollutants in rooms up to 348 sq. feet based on one air change per hour. Its ENERGY STAR® certified to help save on your energy bills. And best of all, it works as quietly as a soft whisper – so it won’t disturb your sleep or interrupt your TV audio. Perfect for bedrooms, offices, and dorms.

Perfectly Portable Refreshment, Anytime

Okay, what if we told you there was a portable Kenmore mini-refrigerator so neat and petite that you can take it with you and chill a six-pack of your favorite refreshment… anytime you want? It is also 100% freon-free and eco-friendly. And its compact size and cool retro styling make it perfect for personal spaces, travel, offices, dorms, road trips, boating, camping, tailgating, commuting, and even for storing cosmetics and skin-care products. Did we mention it works equally fine with standard home outlets and 12-volt car chargers?

You’d probably say… hey, at under $30, I’ll pick up one myself and a couple more for gifts! And then you’d spend the rest of the day feeling super-smart, because it’s a seriously great idea.

Slice and Serve with Style

A cutting board is just a cutting board, right? Now hold up – we have a better idea!

A simple dial control makes it easy to choose from nine shade settings. And the BPA-free steel crumb tray provides hassle-free cleanup. Also available in black or all-stainless finishes, if red isn’t really their jam.

Heads Up! One More Bright Idea…
