Finding the perfect gift for a friend, partner, colleague, or family member is no mean feat. The last thing you want is to purchase a present only for it to go unused or be regifted. It's also particularly difficult to find a gift for someone you don't know all that well and sometimes you just don't have the budget to spend all that much.

From books to linen, we have rounded up a selection of beautiful gifts that will go down a treat with just about anyone and that have an attractive price tag of $50 or less.
