Gifts Under R500 That Feel Like So Much More

The best gifts are rarely the biggest ones. They are the ones that say I noticed, I remembered, I was thinking of you on an ordinary Tuesday. We have spent 25 years learning which small things land with the most love, and this page gathers all of them in one place, every one under R500.

Gifts Under R300 for Small but Mighty Gestures

Under R300 is where thoughtfulness does all the work. A single vanilla cupcake at R95 at the door says happy birthday louder than a phone call ever could, luxury biscuits at R240 turn an apology into a peace offering, and three chocolate cupcakes at R285 make an ordinary afternoon feel celebrated. If you are gifting on a system, our guides to the 5 gift rule for adults and the 4 gift rule for birthdays will make you look like the most organised person in the family.

Cheap Gifts That Never Feel Cheap

Cheap is a price, not a feeling. The Best Biscuits at R310 arrive looking anything but, a bottle of Steenberg sparkling Sauvignon Blanc at R355 turns Tuesday into an occasion, and anything from our chocolate and Lindt chocolate ranges is greeted the way chocolate always is. If you are stuck, our guide to discovering the perfect gift helps you match the gift to the person rather than the price.

Birthday Gifts Under R500

Birthdays do not need a big budget, they need good timing and the right gesture. Our birthday gift boxes and birthday flowers ranges are full of under-R500 picks, and a birthday hamper option covers the friend who loves a spread. No occasion at all? Our just because flowers range exists for exactly that. For ideas, read our online birthday gifts guide and what makes the best birthday gift before you choose.

Flowers Under R500

A hand-tied bunch does not have to be grand to be felt. Browse our flower bouquets for smaller hand-ties, our pink flowers for soft and pretty picks, or let our florists choose the best stems of the morning with a florist choice bouquet option. Our 100 bouquet ideas guide is a lovely browse if you want inspiration first.

Bubbly, Chocolate and Sweet Treats

Some gifts never miss. A Krone Night Nectar MCC at R480 or a Steenberg Pinot Noir Cap Classique at R495 brings the celebration with it, a Lindt Lindor milk cornet at R400 or Lindt assorted cornet at R400 disappears within the hour, and our large luxury biscuits at R475 are the ones people hide from their families. Pair them from our champagne and wine gift boxes range, or go bigger with our snack hampers and gift baskets when one treat is not enough.

Christmas and Stocking Fillers Under R500

Come December, this page becomes a lifesaver. Our Christmas gift boxes fill up with under-R500 crackers, and candles, handmade soaps and bath and body sets make easy gifts for teachers, colleagues and the neighbour who waters your plants. A thank you gift box covers the people who got you through the year, and our Christmas gifts guide does the thinking for you.
