The 24 oz size is always under $30, but the 32 oz bottle is marked below $30 during Black Friday sales! This water bottle gives you the option to drink from a sip spout or straw, is easy to clean and fill, and fits in car cup holders. They offer a 40 oz size in a shape that rivals the Stanley (and is better because it’s leakproof!), but you’ll shell out a few more dollars for that one.

The Defined Dish has a line of sauces under the name Side Dish, and they are fantastic. They’re dairy and gluten free, made with avocado oil, and include no refined sugars. She also has a website with recipes that incorporate the sauces.

This phone case has been a game changer for me, because it’s Magsafe compatible and includes a kickstand around the camera lenses. This makes it incredibly easy to watch videos while I cook or get ready, and it also protects the lenses that stick out more on newer iPhone models. A practical gift!

This ceramic on-the-go mug makes sipping coffee on the go a breeze. It has a 360 degree sip rim with ventilated areas that allow you to sip easily and predictably without burning your entire mouth. IYKYK. The top seals completely making this leakproof, too, a feature we’ve tested a lot!

I brought a set of these Yellowbird Hot Sauces to a gift exchange last Christmas, and it was the most stolen gift of the night! This set contains smaller sizes that your recipient will realistically get through before they expire.

This is our favorite game discovery of 2023! It’s great for 2-6 players and involves a bit of strategy while also being fast moving. The goal is to have the lowest points per hand, just like the game of golf.

This under $15 ring earns me compliments every time I wear it. It is made of 14K gold, so it won’t turn your finger green and the fake stones have a pretty decent shine to them. It stacks well with minimalist rings, too. Highly recommend!

Alright, I know this is marketed for babies and it’s $35 instead of $30, but stick with me! If you’re someone who loves sleeping with a sound machine, and you don’t want to haul your big one around with you all over the globe, you will love this. Its compact size and durable design makes this the perfect travel companion whether or not you have a baby!

Every Harry Potter fan needs these beautifully illustrated, unabridged books. They’ve released one per year for the last 5 years, and each are priced under $30 — The Half Blood Prince will release in 2024. You could make it an annual tradition to gift these books to a friend, or you could gift them to yourself if you have kids and can’t wait to relive the magic alongside them.

This is a really nice massage gun for a fraction of the price of more well known brands. It is 50% off for Black Friday and is a steal for the quality. This was another gift we contributed to a gift exchange last year that was well loved among the group!

Cutting boards are used daily at our house, and we have completely converted to Material Kitchen’s reBoards. This mini size is perfect for the cocktail enthusiast in your life or for the chef who can never have too many kitchen gadgets. It’s made entirely of recycled and renewable materials, is dishwasher safe, and provides a great cutting experience with no weird noises or slipping.

If you know a music enthusiast who prefers to do household chores with a little background music, this could be a great option. It has a 5 hour battery life, is waterproof and dust proof, and comes in a bunch of different color combos.
