Sunglasses (GoodR) 

Finally, sunglasses that are cool looking and functional. With an array of wildly amusing lens and frame combinations, GoodR sunglasses are polarized and protect against harmful UVA and UVB rays.

Face Masks

We hear great things about these multi-layer face masks from Banana Republic.  they come in packs of three and these are just some of the many attractive designs.

Sweatpants With Pockets

Comfortable casual clothing is all we seem to be wearing now which means that getting new sweatpants to upgrade older, more worn pants will be a welcome holiday gift. Uniqlo is one of our favorite places to buy stylish, durable and very well-priced clothing for men and women. Their sweatpants have zippered pockets, a feature we love about them.

Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds

We looked through reviews for bluetooth earbuds under $50 to find ones that get great feedback for sound quality and these, by brand 1More, are at the top of the list.  Water and sweat resistant.

Kendra Scott Rose Gold Bracelet

We are big fans of Kendra Scott jewelry and think that your daughter would love to have something special under the tree on Christmas morning.  There are lots of gifts to choose from under $50 and use the filters to look for necklaces, rings, bracelets, earrings, and more. This pretty cuff bracelet caught our eye.

Multi-Port Car Charger

No one wants a dead phone and, for teens and college students who drive themselves to and from school or work, having a car charger is a convenient way to keep a phone battery fully charged. We love this one because there is room to charge five devices at once, super fast.

Belkin Wireless Charging Pad

Belkin is a leader in charging technology and their devices are designed to work extremely well with Apple phones. This one is optimized for iPhone 8 Plus, X, 8, XS, XS Max, XR. Led light indicates when the phone is fully charged.

YETI Insulated Tumbler

If you’ve not yet experienced the amazing heat-keeping capabilities of a YETI mug, NOW is the time to do so. Your young adult can make an oversized coffee at home and skip the expensive Starbucks on the way to work. Same is true of cold drinks, if they prefer cold brew or an iced coffee instead.

Cross Body Phone Bag 

Taking a large tote when you’re out and about is not what our teens or young adult daughters do. Instead, they grab their phones and go. Here’s an adorable vegan leather cross-body bag that can they can slip their phone into and that also has slots for 10 cards.
