Whether you need a stocking stuffer or a white elephant present, we’ve got an inexpensive gift idea for nearly every occasion.

Even with inflation on the decline, it often feels like it’s an uphill battle to find the right gift at the right price. Dollars simply don’t stretch like they used to, at least not in a world where high-end handsets and handhelds reign supreme. Luckily, you’re in the right spot if you’ve found yourself working with a limited budget.

Like in previous years, we’ve taken the accumulated knowledge of The Verge staff and set out to find the best bang for your buck across several categories, resulting in a selection of gifts that are cheap only in price. Our low-cost collection includes an assortment of well-loved tech staples, from charging cables to gaming mice to a wired pair of earbuds that — gasp! — come in more than one color. And because many of us are obsessed with more than just gadgets behind the scenes, we’ve also included a few non-tech gifts. After all, you never know who in your orbit might be a wannabe dungeon master or an aspiring Top Chef contestant with a competitive edge and one ruthless picadillo.
