When it comes to gift-giving, there’s a fine art to nailing that “quiet luxury” vibe without maxing out your credit card. Think timeless, understated, and impeccably chic—but on a budget. Luckily, Amazon and several other retailers are teeming with luxe-looking gems that say I have exquisite taste, while keeping the price tag discreet. Here’s your guide to gifting elegance for under $50.
