Black Friday Desk Gifts Under $20: 8 Picks

The best Black Friday strategy for desk gifts is boring: buy things that are already cheap, already good, and already in stock. Every pick below is under $20 at full price, battery free, and small enough to wrap in 2 minutes. Here are 8 of them, sorted by price.

Already Under $20, No Coupon Needed

Most Black Friday desk gift roundups push gadgets that need a discount to be worth it. These solar cats skip the whole game: the most expensive item on this list is $17.90 before any sale exists, and none of them will end up in a drawer by February, because they move every day the sun comes up. Buy for 3 people and you are still under $50 total. That is the whole trick: the deal was the price all along.

The 8 Picks

1. Solar Lucky Cat 2-Inch: Tiny Desk Companion Powered by Light, $9.90. The classic wave, the safest first pick.
2. Smiley Solar Lucky Cat 2-Inch: 4 Colors, $9.90. The one with a kitten at its base.
3. Big Head Solar Lucky Cat: Gentle Waving Desk Companion, $9.90. The oversized face that gets comments.
4. Solar Lying Lucky Cat 2-Inch: Relaxed Mini Desk Companion, $9.90. The lying flat mascot for your most tired friend.
5. Solar Mini Panda 2-Inch: Tiny Desk & Car Companion, $12.90. For the panda person.
6. Solar Money Flower: Gentle Swaying Desk Figurine, $14.90. A swaying bloom for the plant person.
7. Solar Lucky Cat with Sunglasses: Cool Cat Edition, $14.90. The one wearing shades, for the office comedian.
8. Classic Lucky Cat Duo: White + Gold 2-Pack, $17.90. Two cats in one box, the instant pair for a couple or a split gift.

Sort by Person in 60 Seconds

Coworker you barely know: the classic 2 inch, impossible to get wrong. Close friend: the lying cat or the sunglasses edition, the joke writes itself. Yourself: the duo, one for home and one for the office. Stocking filler for later: anything at $9.90, and our stocking stuffer guide has the wrapping plan. Want strictly under $15 picks? The under 15 desk toys list narrows it further.

Order Before the Rush

Shipping runs 7 to 10 business days to most destinations, and carriers slow down the week of Black Friday, so order the week before and everything lands with time to wrap. Black Friday falls on November 27 this year. If you are shopping for a whole office, one parcel with 6 cats costs less than 6 separate gift shop runs and takes one lunch break to wrap.
