White elephant gift exchangesare fun… until they aren’t. Take this scenario: You’ve somehow managed to hold on tothegift, or in other words, the one that everyone secretly wants, for the majority of the game. But at the very last second, someone swoops in and steals it right out from underneath you.

A plausible way to beat the system? Make sure everyone involved has steal-worthy gifts likeCharlotte Tilbury makeup,Lululemon belt bags,Amazon Echo Shows, orNike hats. Or, you could scoop up items that are more splurge-worthy versions of items they already use like this customer-popularlaundry detergentor aLe Labo hair mask.

Below, we’ve gathered a list of wow-worthy gifts under $50. And hey, you can even mix and match, or grab more than one product, and still be on budget!

$68$49 at Lululemon

If your party is super keen on celebrity trends, a belt bag,as seen on Cameron Diaz, Kate Hudson, and Jessica Alba, is bound to be a hit. Specifically, think about nabbing the Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag, which is $49 today. The gold hardware and fuzzy material looks more high-end than other nylon styles (thoughthose are under $50, too!) and according to one Lululemon shopper, it “fits my wallet, keys, phone, hand sanitizer, pen, lip stick, hand lotion, and checkbook.”

Chanel Le Vernis Longwear Nail Colour

Chanel

Buy Now for $32

This Chanel nail polish really packs a punch: The long-lasting formula costs $32 — which, yes, is pricey for a nail polish — but it also comes with other free samples, plus complimentary Chanel gift wrapping that you can later display or upcycle into something else. Red is a pretty standard shade for the holidays, but it comes in 28 others, including some sparkly options suitable for New Year’s Eve, too.

And since it’s still under the $50 mark, you can also throw in another beauty item, like this travel-sizedDermalogica exfoliating powderto really seal the deal. Earlier this year,Courteney Cox told PEOPLEthat uses it twice a day, adding, “It really cleans your skin, and it also exfoliates, but doesn’t dry you out at all.”
