Shop early and be sure to double check the retailers’ websites for shipping information to ensure that your gift will arrive in time for the 25th!
1. A bathtub caddy perfect for the person on your list who spends a good amount of time in the bathtub. This handy piece will help them keep all their essentials (e.g., a candle, tea, phone, etc.) close to them during a bath without fear of anything getting wet.
2. A two-piece lounge set that's about to be their go-to outfit all through winter (and beyond). Reviewers swear this set is super comfortable. They'll feel super put together and chic, even if their only human interaction is grabbing dinner from the delivery driver.
Promising review: "This is a cute and comfortable two-piece set. The fit was as expected, and these pieces could easily be worn for travel or just lounging around the house. They washed up nicely, but I wouldn't recommend putting them in the dryer due to possible shrinkage." —H. Brien
Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with two-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).
Get it from Amazon for $42.49+ (available in women's sizes S–XL and in 22 colors).
3. An Instant Pot sure to bring joy to the recipient when they realize that making dinner will be SO much easier from now on.
4. A portable piano that may just be the ~key~ to a great gift because it can be rolled and unrolled and played anywhere (at home, Grandma and Grandpa's house, and even in the car). Plus, there's a headphone jack, so the parents won't have to hear their child's "amazing" new skill all the time.
5. A Lego flower bouquet building kit bound to bring a smile to the giftee's face twice — once when they open the box and then again when they put it together and realize it can be a functional piece of decor in their home (that never dies!!).
My mom LOVES Legos. So much so that my dad and I have been buying her the architecture sets as gifts for years now. Last year, when I was trying to remember what set she had showed in interested in, I stumbled upon this beautiful floral bouquet and knew she needed it. Stock was limited, so I made my dad drive 30 minutes away to pick up one of the last ones, and it was so worth it. This Lego set is so cool and incredibly functional. The flowers look real from afar and can be displayed all year long. My mom loved this gift so much. If anyone on your list is a Lego fan, buy this set right now (because it may sell out quickly).
Promising review: "My husband and daughter are Lego collectors. This is the first time I've seen a Lego set that I had to have! The build was not difficult but very relaxing. I love that I now have some home decor that truly reflects my family and their interests." —Beque
Shipping Info: Standard shipping takes 3–5 business days (but may take longer depending on where you live). Free shipping for orders over $35. Express shipping is available for an additional cost. See full shipping info here.
Get it from Lego for $59.99.
6. A Revlon One-Stop Hair Dryer & Volumizer designed to be the gift that keeps on giving — great hair for 365 days a year.
7. A Béis weekender duffle bag I'm pretty sure might be on Mary Poppins' wish list this year. This genius bag features *deep breath* a super wide opening so they can actually see everything they've packed, a zippered bottom pocket to keep their shoes and toiletries separate from everything else, a laptop sleeve, external zip pocket, key-ring strap, *and* a trolly pass-through with a zipper (to turn into a pocket when not hooked through a suitcase).
Promising review: "This carry on is AMAZING! I used it for a four day trip to Denver. This bag held two packing cubes, make up and jewelry bags, and four pairs of shoes (one pair of tennis shoes, three pairs of sandals). The 'medical bag' style opening is the key to being able to hold so much. The sturdy strap and metal hooks make it comfortable to carry through a large airport!! I will be purchasing the matching pieces! " —Amy Y.

8. A Sunday Riley Wake Up With Me brightening morning routine kit filled with cult-favorite products sure to ~refresh~ the recipient's morning skin routine and leave them feeling and looking great.
9. A mini projector to transform their living room (or even bedroom) into a whole theater experience. No need to spend $20 on a ticket for a movie when they can stream one of their favorites any night of the week. Just be sure the gift includes an invitation for you to join them at least once.
10. An 800-piece puzzle perfect for your puzzle-obsessed friend who hasn't given up on this fun past time since quarantine ended. Each design features the work of an emerging female artist — so they may even end up framing the puzzle once they finish putting it together (which they totally can because it comes with tools to help preserve it!).
Jiggy is a woman-founded small business that features the work of emerging female artists to help people unplug and experience art in a new way. The kit comes with special puzzle glue and a straight-edge tool to help get the puzzle ready to become wall art.
Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with two-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).
Get it from Amazon for $49 (available in five styles).
11. And a puzzle plateau with a large surface and four drawers that are perfect for anyone who enjoys puzzles but hates when the pieces take over the whole kitchen (or coffee) table. Reviewers say this is light enough to easily move out of the way and that the drawers are removable as well, making their puzzle-doing experience the best it has ever been.
12. A skyline mini wallet emergency kit filled with so many practical items they'll actually be so thankful to have on hand at all times (i.e. Tylenol, a hair tie, etc.). Plus, it's small enough to fit in a purse or carry-on bag, and you can pick a specific skyline that's meaningful for the recipient. We love a practical yet personalized gift!
Anne Cate is a woman-owned small business based in Cleveland, Ohio that handmakes minimalist keepsakes with a skyline from more than 100 cities and colleges around the world!
The kit includes a hair tie, ChapStick, two floss pics, a sewing kit, bandages, emery board, two safety pins, two earring backs, a makeup wipe, two bobby pins, two mints, a deodorant wipe, a Shout wipe, a tampon, hand sanitizer, and Tylenol.
BuzzFeed Shopping writer Danielle Healy says: "I, your resident forgetful person, bought the NYC skyline version of this at the start of COVID-19 to keep in my work tote. Unfortunately, I haven't touched my work tote in months because...*gestures at the world around*...but it's a really handy kit I know will save me a ton whenever I regularly leave the house again. Everything from Anne Cate is super high-quality. The wallet on its own is adorable and could be used for a million different things."
Shipping info: Expedited 2-day and overnight shipping options are available at additional cost.
Get it from Anne Cate for $25 (available in 96 skylines).
13. A collection of teas from around the world to give them something they can enjoy long after the holidays are over. When the days are short and cold, there's nothing like a delicious hot cup of tea to warm your spirit.
14. A Lesure memory foam dog bed because your furry BFF deservs to be spoiled just as much (or even more) than everyone else on your list. It's made from gel memory foam that contours to your pup's shape and has a bamboo charcoal layer that absorbs any odors. Plus, the u-shape gives your dog an elevated place to rest their head.
And as you can see above, this bed already has a stamp of approval from my family's pup Izzy. She recently got this bed and found it cozy the moment she curled into it. She really enjoys resting her head (and even paws) on the raised edge. The bed is compact, but the large size is big enough for her to comfortably lay and relax.
Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with two-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).
Get it from Amazon for $60.99+ (available in three sizes and four colors).
15. A Tarte best-seller set with mini versions of some of their top products — great for anyone who wants to try the brand before fully committing to buy the full size. Plus, these are great to travel with because they're small enough to fit in a purse or bag!
The set includes a Baby Bloom Palette, Mini Maneater Mascara, and a Mini Juicy Lip Balm.
Promising review: "This is a beautiful kit. The eyeshadow palette has a good formula, the lipstick is enough to try it on, and the mascara is one of my favorites, so this kit is a dream." —Karla A.
Shipping info: Expedited 2-3 day shipping options are available at additional cost.
Get it from Tarte for $26 ($39 value).
