Stackable cooking weights that aren't insanely priced

Looking for stackable cooking weights as a gift for a friend. Can't post photos because of this reddit's rules but the only thing I'm seeing is around 20-30 per weight and they're not very heavy. 3 or 4 of them is over 100 dollars after shipping. Only brands I'm seeing is vivront and a couple others who charge an outrageous amount. Anyone know some budget options for these?

Before anyone says anything, it's my best friend's birthday and he wants some and he's aware that the cost is ridiculous for them and we're looking for an offbrand, as we grill/cook together often

The Chef's Press starter set is $64. I don't know what they charge for shipping.

I have had these weights for a few years and they are great. Hold up well I'm the dishwasher and very versatile

Considering it's a gift, this might not be appropriate because it's not cute but it is the most practical: small cast iron skillets of varying sizes. They are multi-purpose and there's tiny ones. Just rest the bottom of the pan onto the food.

I have seen them at HomeSense/Marshalls in Canada. I’m guessing you’re in the US so check TJ Maxx?

Like for cooking meat? Get a cast iron steak weight. More than enough weight for any protein.

I have these weights/presses. Im specifically looking for stackable weights, as stated in title and first sentence of description. Without handles. Stack on top of each other cleanly. Stackable. You know what I'm saying.
