Thoughtful Kris-Kindle gifts under €25 for both men and women

It’s a difficult feat gift-giving under €25, unless you make it yourself. You want to be somewhat thoughtful, more imaginative than a gift card, but not look cheap. Whether you’re on a tight budget, or you’ve been dragged into Kris-Kindle at work for a person you mightn’t even know, these Christmas gifts can help you through an intimidating gift-giving season (unless you’re into that sorta thing, of course).

From funky mugs, wine-stain remover (important) and quirky homewares, check out these personal and thoughtful gifts that will work for both men or women. It won’t matter whose name you pull out of the hat. Happy Shopping.
