Finding the perfect gift can be a difficult task. You have to know a person well, think about what they like and don’t like, find a reasonable price point, and then go find a unique gift that they don’t already have. It can be intimidating, but fear not, here are 10 gifts (under $50) that you can give that won’t suck.

Gift cards be damned.

Bonus: PDX Carpet T-Shirt

A bonus for my Portland brethren, there is no better way to up your hipster street cred than sporting a t-shirt with PDX’s iconic carpet design. The carpet is being replaced in January 2015, meaning that the t-shirt will instantly become retro/nostalgic. How perfectly Portland is that?
