Top 5 Gifts Under $50
1) Round Lacquer Serving Tray - Summer Sail

This round serving tray is part piece of art, part table setting. Each is adorned with original works of art then sealed with a high-gloss finish that’s moisture-, alcohol-, and heat-resistant. Concealed side slot handles make it a cinch to carry from the kitchen to the table or patio.
2) Wooden French Bread Slicer

Kalmar Home: Wooden French Bread Slicer - Original
3) Rechargeable Work Light

This rechargeable work light and flashlight comes equipped with programmable memory settings for each light mode, a new red light function, and a 4x adjustable zoom.
4) Chimney of Insanity Charcoal Chimney

Don’t let the name fool you. This charcoal chimney is a super-smart update of the typical design that helps get fires burning faster and hotter. An elbow-shaped vent allows for better airflow and means you can add your starter from the side—no more lifting a full chimney to light it, and no need for lighter fluid, either.
5) Personal Wine Glass Chiller

VoChill: Personal Wine Glass Chiller - Single - Blush
