One of my favorite things about the holiday season is participating in Yankee swaps/grab gifts/white elephants, whatever you wanna call it.

If you're looking to stay within your budget and aren't sure what type of gift to get, don't fret. Here are 20 under $25 gift ideas this holiday season.

1. Movie tickets

This is a great gift idea if you're not sure who's going to receive it. Movie tickets always come in handy if you're looking for something to do with a friend or loved one.

2. Wine/liquor

Alcohol is always a popular gift for a Yankee swap. Make sure you get a bottle of wine or liquor that a lot of people would enjoy.

3. Wine glasses/pint glasses

There's always a need for these and they make a great gift. You can never have enough glasses, especially if you frequently host guests.

4. Restaurant gift card

Who wouldn't love a free meal out on the town? Pick a restaurant close by or even one that's a chain for the out-of-towners.

5. Retail store gift card

There are always a few gifts that you can't get in time for the holidays. A store gift card is always a great option for picking out a gift after the holidays.

6. Panini maker

Everyone could use a Panini maker at some point in their life. It's a fun way to make a sandwich and it can even be used to make quesadillas.

7. Massager

This is always a gift that people end up fighting over and want to test out before they commit to it. For those who are constantly stressed, this gift is for you. What better way to relax than with a massager?

8. Manicure/pedicure gift certificate

When things get crazy during the holiday season, this gift is great for someone who needs a little primping.

9. Bath bomb set

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that?
