Impulse Buys Under $25 That Actually Make Great Gifts

Impulse buying gets a bad rap — and for good reason. We’ve all bought questionable things on a whim that we later regret. But sometimes a little spontaneity can be a good thing when you’re shopping, especially when you’re looking for the perfect gift. Impulse buying can lead to rare finds that surprise and delight — and leave the gift recipient wondering how he or she ever lived without that unique, inventive thing.

We’ve compiled a list of our favorite impulse buys that turned out to be surprising must-haves. And the good news is that many of these products are on sale right now for Amazon’s Prime Day.
