Top 5 Gifts Under $500
1) Digital Automatic Yogurt Maker

This automatic yogurt maker sets you up with enough homemade yogurt for a week—made just how you like it. You customize flavors and ingredients like milk type, sweetness, and even thickness. The machine takes it from there, and in as little as six to ten hours, you’ve got seven perfect portions of healthy and tasty yogurt.
2) Ultra Slim Invisible Phone Stand

MOFT™: Ultra Slim Invisible Phone Stand - Space Gray
3) Wooden Tabletop Assault Strategy Game

This fresh take on a classic strategy board game pits attackers and defenders against each other with the goal of outsmarting the competition and capturing the castle. The wooden board is handcrafted in Missouri and is made with the mission to bring families together for a nostalgic (and fun) screen-free game night.
4) PortFolio Tablet Keyboard

This all-in-one leather-like protective case also serves as a portable workspace. Unfold the origami-style cover and it becomes a stand, holding your tablet in place as you type. The attached, low-profile keyboard has a soft, fabric feel. Connect your device via Bluetooth, and type away—anywhere.
5) Relationship Gratitude Jar Set

Practice being appreciative with a partner. This pair of printed glass gratitude jars encourages you both to pause and be thankful—and they do it beautifully. Fill them up with loving notes. Or, next time you find a penny or some spare change, take a second to note your blessings as you drop it into the jar. As you watch the jars fill up, you’ll build a habit that helps you each focus on the positive things in your life—including each other.
