The best gifts under $25 that pack a big punch

A cleaning product for Father's Day? Hear me out: This top-selling slime is a year-round Yahoo reader favorite, and it's selling like crazy right now. It's not just any ol' goo — he can press it into cup holders, air vents and other hard-to-reach areas, then peel it away to remove crumbs, dust and other unwanted debris.

Sure, this hands-free neck light is made with readers in mind, but it can do so much more than illuminate a page. "I’ve refrained from knitting with dark yarn because my eyesight isn’t what it once was. Since purchasing this, I can clearly see my stitches," one cheery crafter commented. 

Another five-star fan uses it for needlework, raving that it's "not heavy around the neck and doesn’t give me a headache." Reading, crafting, tinkering, you name it — they can switch between three different color temperatures and brightness modes depending on the task at hand. 

Nothing's going to stop your guy from doing whatever he wants to do — nope, not even winter's darkest, coldest days. Snag this light-up beanie to keep him safe and snuggly warm when he runs, walks the dog, takes out the trash or goes on a late-night trip to the supermarket. He'll get eight hours of light on a single charge.

They probably already know and love Taco Goat Cheese Pizza. Well, this is basically the Christmas-ified version. One by one, players put down a card and say "Santa," "Cookie," "Elf," "Candy" or "Snowman" in order. If the word matches the card, the last person to slap their hands down has to pick up all the cards. The first player to run out of cards wins.

The tree is already up and dressed to the nines, but I'm sure you can find space for a few more handmade creations, especially if your little ones make 'em. They'll get three gingerbread figures that they can build (and rebuild) with different facial features, winter-ready outfits and festive add-ons. Hang them on the tree once they're done, but don't forget to save the remaining pieces for next year! 

What's mine is yours applies to just about everything except skin care products — lip balm included. Pick up this trio of Jack Black's bestselling tubes — two Natural Mint and Shea Butter, one Shea Butter and Vitamin E — to ensure he always has help for chapped lips on hand. All three are enriched with nourishing antioxidants and other good-for-skin ingredients, plus they have SPF 25 to protect his precious pout from the sun's harmful rays. 

Your self-proclaimed Grill Master is about to take his title to the next level. Clamp this battery-powered light to any grill handle, then switch it on with a touch of a button (literally) and rotate it to see what's on the grates. One griller gushed that it extends his grilling season: "Now so long as I can stand the cold and winds, the light gives me the chance to spend more outside doing what I like to do best when it comes to cooking."

The next time he's camping, tailgating or tending to the grill, he can crack open a brewski and pour it directly into this insulated stein to keep it chilled for a whopping 20 hours (not that it'll last that long, of course). When he wants to switch up what he's sipping, he can fill it with coffee, tea or another hot drink of choice and keep it steaming hot for at least an hour. 

She already has an eye cream in her daily regimen, but contributing beauty writer Marie Lodi swears by a "good eye mask for de-puffing and helping reduce the appearance of fine lines." Grace & Stella, loved by celebs and beauty experts alike, gives the best bang for your buck: Get 12 pairs in this gift set — the pink ones moisturize, yellow has amino acids to energize tired under-eyes and blue illuminates thanks to niacinamide.

Six cheery bowls, one million possibilities. When she's in the kitchen, she can pull out these pinch bowls to divide up different ingredients. Or if she's hosting, she can liven up her charcuterie board with these blossoming beauties, which are just the right size to hold nuts, dried fruits and jams. The list goes on. 

Hand cream is one of those things everyone needs, but doesn't necessarily want to buy for themselves — especially the fancier (ahem, spendier) stuff. Pick up this skin-soothing trio, so she can have a tube in her purse, one at her desk and another by her bathroom sink. The hardest part will be choosing which scent goes where. 

Sparkly earrings dress up even the most basic outfit. These dazzlers from Kate Spade — available in silver, gold or rose gold — make for a stunning finishing touch (and there's a matching pendant necklace if that's up her alley). 

More than 100,000 Amazon shoppers picked up this sensory blob in the last month. "It is satisfying to hold and squish without being too squishy. There is a slight firmness to it," one five-star reviewer raved. It's simple: The slower the squeeze, the softer it'll be. The color is chosen at random (either pink, blue or purple), so it'll be a bit of a surprise for you too. 

This isn't your basic night light. Nope, this one projects a color-changing celestial-scape onto their ceiling, so they can sleep under the stars from the comfort of their bed. "I love that this projector is rechargeable which means I can easily take it with me anywhere in the house without having to worry about plugging it in," one happy parent wrote, adding that it's "super quiet when rotating between the colors."

"This limited-edition set from Tree Hut has three body scrubs, including the brand's new Enchanted Emerald scent, for a festive gift (to yourself or someone else) that will keep giving throughout the season. For extra cozy vibes, I'm also loving this Embroidered Flower Sweater from Walmart's Free Assembly line, available in two colors and sizes XS-4X. I've seen similar styles for upwards of ten times the price!"
