If you’re looking for something truly unique and special to buy as a gift, Amazon might not be the first place you think of. However, tucked away in the massive digital aisles of this big box retail monster there are treasures that can blow anyone’s mind, even the pickiest of gift givers.

I want to start off with one of the categories that often gets overlooked but has some huge surprises in store for you—gifts under $25. The main thing here is to find cheap items that aren’t just cheap, but in some way or another have a bit of charm or weirdness to them. Starting off at the Firelli Italian Hot Sauce for $6 is a perfect place to start. This isn’t a run of the mill hot sauce, this is a handcrafted delight from Parma, Italy, and they describe it as ‘sweet mixed with heat’ and ‘rich and rounded with a pleasant zing.’

The next cheapest are the Knox German Pine Incense Cones at $7. These aren’t your normal run of the mill incense cones. The cozy aroma of cedar and pine coming from each handcrafted cone makes this the perfect friend to have around the holiday gatherings or for quiet winter days. Pair with a whimsical wood incense smoker for a dose of kitschy, delight.

A second astonishing find is the Maldon Smoked Sea Salt. These pyramid-shaped flakes, at just $7, aren’t merely seasoning; they’re a testament to artisan craftsmanship stretching back 1882. This works great as a gift for someone who takes pride in doing everything in the finer things.

Let’s also not forget the B&M Handicraft Store Mother-of-Pearl Caviar Spoon, at $8. This isn’t a spoon, this is an expensive touch to a meal, made of mother of pearl and described by one reviewer as ‘Shiny, shiny, shiny.’ This is exactly what a person will be loving to have this if you’re an art of dining person.

It doesn’t have to be big or expensive. Sometimes it’s the little things too, like the Porcelain Espresso Cup and Saucer for $9 which brings the most joy. These cups are crafted from chip resistant porcelain in a cheerful sunflower yellow, and have rave reviews for being both beautiful and well made.

However, what also comes recommended is Piñon Wood Incense Bricks priced at $10, which have a scent such as ‘fires burning in each home, smoke drifting lazily out the chimneys while the snow glistens crisply in shadows,’ on a different note. Perfect for those with a love of rustic, earthy aromas in their living spaces, these bricks are sourced from a small business in northern New Mexico.

The Primula Chrome Electric Milk Frother, at $12, is finally an aesthetic way to get your frothy home beverage. An excellent, particularly if you enjoy your morning coffee, with a touch of the professional. Nothing feels better than sharing these gift ideas under $25 with friends and family, as these gifts show that you truly haven’t just been browsing — but have been looking for something special and creative. All items tell stories of craft and care, making sure your presents are not only memorable, but also very special.

For gift giving, it’s not just about bargain finds, but rather, seeing beyond and discovering the world of premium Amazon gifts can make everything more fun. Additional to the quality and sophistication, these gifts have the thoughtfulness factor which makes them memorable, though! Imagine a world full of Amazon’s premium and much talked about offerings filled with promises to raise the art of giving to an elite level.

First on this list is the Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream. For $46, this cream is a luxurious beauty staple and a favorite because it’s very good at moisturizing, and smells heavenly. It’s the perfect gift for any self-pampering fanatic who promises to ‘smooth and tighten the appearance of skin’ with its unique Brazilian blend. It makes a fantastic gift for her or a treat yourself purchase, it’s sure to impress.

If you have fashion conscious men on your list, the Lacoste Polo Shirt is available for $77. This shirt is a statement with a timeless style and an iconic crocodile logo known all over. It is offered in comfort and elegance and can be used on any occasion, out of casual occasions to formal.

The $20 J Jimoo Mulberry Silk Pillowcase is our way of treating mothers who deserve the best with the ultimate in luxury and comfort. Though silk pillowcases may not necessarily be the softest, they’re known to be kinder to hair and skin, so they make thoughtful gift choices. In fact, it’s a great way to incorporate a little bit of luxury into a nightly routine.

The Stanley Quencher which at $35 is a flexible, funky option for the tech savvy tween or teen. It’s known for its ability to keep drinks cold for hours, making it perfect for school, sports, and part of the fun of lazily hanging out with friends. A gift that’s equally stylish and functional which is why it proves to be a favorite among young adults.

If you have a father (or know someone who is a father) that lives for gardening or wants just a little green in the space, the Environet Hydroponic Herb-Growing Kit makes a swell gift. It’s a kind of present that shares, “I’m aware of you and what you love.” Whether it is pasta Parsley or tacos cilantro, having fresh herbs in stock is a wonderful thing.

Then, for those special friends you would like to gratify with the finer things in life, the Edmond Fallot Dijon Mustard Pail for $20 is a gourmet delight. It is not any mustard, this is not just any mustard, and it’s a delicacy that delivers on that promise; with every bite is a burst of flavor. It would go well added to a gift basket with some artisanal crackers or cheese to help any gathering.

So, these are premium gifts from Amazon that prove; you don’t need to go much to find something extraordinary. All of these things have their own charm and quality, therefore, making them ideal presents for people who seek to present gifts that actually matter. The next time you are scanning Amazon pages for the next new bargain, be mindful that you are an ocean away from treasures that are waiting to be found and each offering has the ability to reshape a simple gesture into an extraordinary adventure.
