hi! Editor Yoo Jeong. When it comes to gifts, I like to meet them and give them in person. Isn’t seeing the other person’s happy reaction the true taste of a gift? But I only realized it recently. In today’s busy, busy society, it is impossible to make an appointment every time and give a gift. That’s how I entered the world of online gift giving.
I especially enjoy using the gifting function of the 29CM app. Like KakaoTalk gifting, you can give a gift without knowing the address, it feels like you put a little more thought into it, and there are various categories. So today, we have prepared an article recommending sensible gifts under 50,000 won that can be purchased at 29CM. But now most of the gifts I want to receive… (Friends, are you watching?)

Anker MagSafe Auxiliary Battery
My gift rule is as follows: ➊ It will be very useful, ➋ It will make you feel good the moment you receive it. At least one of these two must be met! The MagSafe auxiliary battery that we will introduce now naturally meets condition 1.
What I felt while carrying a MagSafe auxiliary battery every day for the past year is that there are more iPhone users than expected who do not know the existence of MagSafe. I attach a wireless power bank to the back of my phone! There were more than one person whose eyes went blank when they put it on and took it off. From then on, whenever I had to give something as a gift, I often chose MagSafe auxiliary batteries.
Anker’s MagSafe auxiliary batteryIt is slim and light with a thickness of about 13mm. Thanks to this, there is no burden even when holding it with one hand and using it attached to the back of the smartphone. It has a built-in folding stand, so you can charge your smartphone and use it as a stand at the same time. It comes in bright colors such as basic white and black colors as well as pastel blue and purple, and its simple design makes it suitable for gifting. Let’s give this as a gift to an iPhone user who doesn’t use MagSafe. It will definitely be a useful and sensible gift that will improve your quality of life. The price is 47,900 won.

Chae Kim Stretching Cat Object
Now that we’ve introduced practical gifts, let’s introduce a gift that makes you feel good just by looking at it. Chae Kim’s stretching cat objectis just… cute. If you are a cat lover like me, you will quickly become happy just by looking at the stretching cat object. Folded chin, raised buttocks, even an insignificantly stretched out cotton bat. There isn’t a single corner that isn’t cute.
It is clearly an item that is useful just for its looks. Still, if you really want to find another use, you can use it as a paperweight or hang a ring or car keys on the tail. If you choose the option with a groove on the back, it can also be used as a holder to hold business cards, photos, or memos. Personally, I like the smooth finish without grooves more. The price is 40,000 won.

Frankley washable home office shoes
When I get home, the first thing I do is wash my feet and put on soft slippers. When I put on slippers, I feel like I’ve turned off go-out mode and switched to safe-at-home mode. Giving indoor shoes to wear every day like this can be a gift of cozy moments in everyday life.

Howls Home’s Newtage Milk Glass Soju GlassThe convex shape resembling a silver gourd and the semi-transparent milk glass are attractive. The not-bright vintage color gives it an even more special feel. It comes in a 4-piece set and can be useful even when inviting people to your home.

It feels good when you give it and when you receive it, but it is true that it becomes less memorable as time passes. Because after you eat it, there is no form left. In that case, gifting an unusual and special dessert is a good idea.
