Top 5 Gifts Under $50
1) Produce Preserver (2-Pack) with Activated Carbon

Bluapple with Activated Carbon absorbs and neutralizes the ethylene gas given off by produce to keep it fresh 2-3 times longer than normal, as well as ridding your refrigerator of odors. Just place your Bluapples inside your crisper drawer, on a shelf in your fridge, or in a fruit bowl on the counter, and you're good to go.
2) Ergonomic Ice Cream Scoop

What happens when an aerospace engineer is also an ice cream enthusiast? You get a space-grade, ergonomic, ice cream scoop that’ll last you a lifetime. Midnight Scoop was engineered so that you use your arms—not your wrists—when you scoop, to avoid strain. Enjoy.
3) Non-Stick Steel Rib & Roast Rack

This non-stick rack does two grilling jobs in one. Use the rib side to hold six racks vertically so you can fit more—with even, open spaces for smoke and heat. When the ribs are done, flip the rack over for roasts, chicken, turkey—supported, elevated, and ready to grill to juicy perfection.
4) Vintage Silver Spoon Marker - Family

Vintage spoons are handcrafted into sweet and meaningful markers that make the perfect addition to a gift or a garden. From “You Are My Sunshine” to “Happy Birthday” (and eight other phrases in between), this hand-stamped spoon truly makes for a one-of-a-kind finishing touch.
5) Personal Security Alarm
