Top 5 Gifts Under $50
1) Common Household Jar Opener

This jar opener is simple to install and easy to use. Place the jar lid firmly inside of the metal V-grip, then twist the jar in the opposite direction. The tool will effortlessly open tough lids of all sizes. Durable and compact design hides out of view underneath your cabinet. Made in the USA.
2) Sand Repellent Blanket

This blanket ensures you keep the sand at the beach, not in your car or at home. Made of a polyester blend that repels sand (really—it doesn’t stick), Lagu lets you relax in grit-free comfort and easily folds up for storage. Plus, it contributes to beach conservation by keeping sand on the coast where it belongs.

Corkzy: Corkzy Wine Opener - Little Black Dress
5) Coldwave Beverage Chiller

Thanks to this instant drink chiller, hot beverages chill out to icy cold in under two minutes—without diluted flavor. The pitcher and insert combo is made with BPA-free, high-density plastic tubes filled with filtered water. Keep the insert in the freezer for quick cool-downs of coffee, tea, beer, wine, and even fizzy drinks.
