The 23 most unique and thoughtful gifts under $10

It's the gift-giving season, and this listicle seemed very "Cheap Thrills" appropriate:

In this gift guide, Filter staff and contributors recommend inexpensive treats that feel like they should cost more than they do. They’re all things that really make life a bit easier or more joyful – for example, a sauce that transforms Tuesday-night dinner, a sleep mask that upgrades red-eye flights and a passionately recommended lineup of toys picked by kids, for kids.

We don't have to spend a lot of money to make people happy! I'd enjoy receiving some socks or incense or chili crisp. (But cash is preferred.)

Bike Around Boston for Free in 2025 ($20 Credit)

It's been a while since I've posted, but this is easy to write up. (Maybe it's the beginning of new era...)

If you ride BlueBikes or thinking about it, just get the app on your phone. I won't explain everything, because you can figure it out.

Basically I saw a promo code on Do617 for a $20 credit that lasts until the end of the year.

The promo code? Enter "code BLUECROSSMAMBTA in the Rewards section of the Bluebikes App".

One ride is really $3.13, and a day pass is $10.63 -- so I don't know what happens if go over $20.

What you can get safely is *6 one-time rides* or a *day pass and 2 one-time rides*.

See on you on the bike paths, friends!
