When I was a kid, Christmas gifts were very practical. There were TONS of pretty packages under the tree but inside were useful items like underpants or socks - cheap cologne or a bottle of booze. Back then... a carton of smokes was a welcome gift. Handmade anything was always appreciated.
A thoughtful gift needn’t be expensive to be perfect. A practical kitchen tool, a new charging adapter, or even a really good pair of socks can delight at a budget price. Here are the best gifts for $25 or less. nyti.ms/3KP1cqr
