Gifts Under $100

Gifts under $100 are the range where you stop buying filler and start buying the thing the person would have picked themselves: a good candle, a pair of glasses, a plant pot with some weight to it.

On the shelf now: Trudon's La Petite candles, Carrière Frères and Mistral candles, Zodax's Bandol glassware, Clayton & Crume rocks glasses, Bergs Potter pots and Beyond Cushions' Cincinnati tea towel.

A hundred dollars goes a long way here if you spend it on one thing. Spread across five, it doesn't. That is how gift ideas under $100 go wrong.

Looking for something smaller? Gifts under $50 has the lower end.

How to Choose Gift Ideas Under $100

The trick with gifts under $100 is deciding between one good thing and three small ones. We lean toward one good thing, and the sections below sort the shelf by how much room that gives you.

Under $25: small and useful

HomArt matches start at $4.50 and come in illustrated designs, from rare snakes to butterfly specimens. Mistral bar soap is $16 and comes in four scents, Black Amber, Bourbon Vanilla, Cedarwood Marine and Salted Gin. Kalastyle Soap Co.'s cedar hand salve and Zodax's Bandol everything glass both fall in this band too. Pair two of them and you have a gift that looks considered without costing much.

$25 to $60: the candle and glass range

Candles carry most of this band. Lineage's candle is $30, Mistral's candle is $54 and Trudon's La Petite size is $58, the way into Trudon under $100. Atelier 880's Pine Reed Diffuser is a candle alternative for people who don't light them.

$60 to $100: the one nice thing

Carrière Frères, Trudon's sister house, comes in six scents including Cedar, Lavender and Tomato. Clayton & Crume's Rocks Glasses S/2 are a heavier gift for the person who has everything they need except good glasses. The correction we make most often at this price is to pick one object and skip the extras.

Gifts Under $100 by Person and Occasion

Birthday gifts under $100, host gifts and thank-you gifts overlap more than people expect. The same candle works for all three.

Home gifts under $100

Home gifts under $100 are the easiest to get right because a house always needs something. Bergs Potter's Simona and Copenhagen pots, Zodax's Bandol glassware and Beyond Cushions' Cincinnati tea towel are the pieces we point people to first. See Candles + Scents for the full candle shelf, or read our housewarming gift guide if the gift is for a new place.

Gifts for someone you don't know well. Pick the consumable: a candle, soap or something for the pantry. They are the least risky gift ideas under $100 because nobody has to find a place for them. Free shipping on orders over $150; domestic standard shipping is otherwise $15, and in-stock online orders are usually ready for pickup in about two hours. We are a lifestyle store at 1401 Reading Rd in Over-the-Rhine, open every day but Tuesday, 10am to 6pm, Sunday 11am to 4pm. If you would like a second opinion on a gift, the Design Studio team and our floor staff will help.

FAQ

Gifts Under $100: FAQs

If you have a question that isn't here, just ask. 

What are good gifts under $100?

Good gifts under $100 are one well-made object rather than several small ones. A Mistral or Lineage candle, a pair of Clayton & Crume rocks glasses, Bandol glassware from Zodax or a Bergs Potter pot all fit. Each is something the person will use or put out the day they get it.

What can I buy for under $100 at High St.?

Candles, glassware, plant pots, soap, kitchen pieces and bar tools make up most of it. Trudon's La Petite candle is $58, Carrière Frères is $63 and Mistral's candle is $54.

What is the difference between gifts under $50 and gifts under $100?

Gifts under $50 are smaller and more casual, such as matches, soap and glassware. Gifts under $100 give you room for a candle from Trudon or Carrière Frères or a pair of heavy glasses. If you're between the two, start with the $50 page and move up if the person is someone you know well.
