Birthday Gifts by Budget - Pick the Perfect Gift Without Breaking a Sweat

Are you searching for birthday gifts that fit your budget while still showing genuine care? Or maybe you're worried that birthday gifts under $20 won't be impressive enough for your loved ones?

The truth is, high-quality handmade birthday gifts at reasonable prices can create big surprises, especially when you know how to choose wisely. CHUS believes that what matters isn't the price tag, but the time and thought you put into selecting something special.

1. Birthday Gifts $8-20: "Small Budget, Big Heart"

Ever thought $8-20 couldn't buy you anything "decent"? Actually, this is the sweet spot where most Vietnamese feel comfortable when giving gifts - not too extravagant but still meaningful.

Perfect for: School friends, close colleagues, or group birthday parties. This is also a safe price range when you want to show you care without creating financial pressure.

2. Birthday Gifts $20-40: When You're "Getting Serious" About Gift-Giving

Let's be honest - when you're ready to spend $20-40 on a gift, it means that person really matters to you. This isn't just "going through the motions" anymore; this is when you want to create a memorable moment.

Perfect for: Your significant other, super close friends, or family members. In the $20-40 range, you're investing in something lasting - not just in quality, but in memories too.

3. Birthday Gifts Over $40: When You Want to "Go All Out" for Someone Special

Going beyond $40 isn't just about money - it's about making a statement: "This person deserves the best I can give." Maybe it's your partner's first birthday together, a special anniversary with your spouse, or a thank-you gift for your parents.

Reserved for: Close family (parents, siblings), important romantic partners, or special birthday occasions (milestone birthdays, important life moments). This is when you're not just giving an item, but gifting an experience, a memory.
