The Early Gift Guide: Amazon Finds Under $50 That Actually Hit

Some people wait until December to start shopping. Others (aka the rest of us) know that the good stuff disappears by Black Friday. This is your head start — a no-fluff, no-miss list of Amazon finds under $50 that actually live up to the hype. They’re in stock now, they ship fast, and they’re the kind of gifts that’ll earn you a “how did you know?” text.
