    31 Brilliant Gifts From Amazon Canada That Made Me Say, “Wait, I Want One, Too”

    Order one for them, then order one for you.

    What a year! The holidays are finally here! And while we’re doing our best to make sure the products we feature will arrive in time, shipping times are especially tricky this year, so we suggest shopping as early as you can.

    Stock and shipping times can vary depending on where you live, which product you purchase, and more. So order earlier than you think you need to and be sure to double-check the retailers’ websites for shipping information to ensure that your gift will arrive in time for when you need it.

    1. A memory foam massage mat that'll take them right to relaxation station by kneading out their entire bod and keeping them toasty warm. Reviewers say it's their secret weapon for back pain and love that they can easily customize their massages with the remote.

    2. A Dungeons & Dragons starter set for anyone who loves fantasy and RPGs (and could probably use a break from video games). It comes with five pre-generated characters and an adventure book that'll help them kick off their quest.

    3. A copy of Red (Taylor's Version) on vinyl because they haven't stopped listening to the ten-minute version of "All Too Well" since it was released.

    4. A Spikeball set that'll make them feel like a kid again and inspire some healthy competition amongst their family and friends. The two-on-two game involves "spiking" the ball onto the net so it bounces toward their opponent. It sounds simple, but trust me, it requires some ~finesse~.

    5. A circular cheese board that they can use to create aesthetically-pleasing fromage platters for all their events. It has a hidden drawer that fits the four included knives perfectly so they won't need to order their own tools.

    6. A copy of Momofoku Milk Bar: A Cookbook that'll teach them how to make drool-worthy desserts, including the bakery's famous cereal milk ice cream, compost cookies, and layer cakes.

    7. An interactive dream journal that'll help them keep track of the fun (and not so fun) rollercoaster rides their brain takes them on when they hit the hay. Inside they'll find prompts, exercises, and even space to create their own dream dictionary.

    8. A Singer sewing kit that your friend who loves to DIY will definitely appreciate. Not only does it come packed with helpful tools and supplies, but it'll help them keep their station clutter-free.

    9. An app-enabled Rubik's Connected that'll allow them to challenge their friends, play mini games, and track their progress. It'll keep their brain sharp, help them work on their problem-solving skills, and give them with a cool new party trick to show off.

    10. A colour-changing alarm clock that doubles as a Bluetooth speaker, giving them everything they need on their nightstand in the form of one handy gadget. They can customize the colour scheme via the Smartlife App and can even connect it to Alexa or Google Home if they prefer talking to their doodads.

    11. An inflatable pad that they can put inside their sleeping bag for extra comfort on their next camping trip. Now they'll feel like they're snoozing on an air mattress without having to lug around an actual air mattress.

    14. An electric grinder that comes with two interchangeable pods that they can fill with salt and pepper (or whatever spices strike their fancy). It'll pulverize their granules with the touch of a button so they won't have to twist and twist and twist to get their desired results.

    15. A question-a-day journal that'll take them a whole five years to complete. This written time capsule will let them see how they've changed (or stayed the same) over the years and will take way less time to fill out than a traditional diary.

    16. A set of adorbs margarita glasses that they can use to serve up frosty cocktails or dips at their next fiesta. Thanks to the textured cacti stems, they're easier to hold onto than traditional cocktail cups.

    17. A pair of fuzzy memory foam slippers that'll keep their toes toasty as heck. They have grippy rubber soles so they won't slide around on their hardwood while they're wearing 'em.

    18. A Belgian waffle maker so they can create Instagram-worthy breakfast spreads without trying too hard. Unlike bulky older models, this one has a slim profile that'll make it easy to tuck away when it's not in use.

    19. A photo stand that'll give them a place to display their cute candids. Unlike frames, it'll fit pics of all shapes and sizes so they can even show off their Instax film.

    20. A pair of adjustable dumbbells if curls, rows, and RDLs are their jam when it comes to working out. They can be levelled up from anywhere between five to 52 pounds so they won't have to keep replacing them as their guns grow.

    21. An adorbs label maker that they can use to mark their territory and keep their entire pantry organized.

    22. A sherpa fleece weighted blanket that'll help them sleep like an actual baby (and keep them warm, too). I have one of these and it's helped with my insomnia and anxiety, making it totally worth the investment.

    23. An air fryer that'll give them all the joys of fried food without having to mess around with spattering oil. It can be controlled and monitored with their phone via Bluetooth so they'll never botch another dish when they're preoccupied.

    24. A felt succulent-making kit because they can't seem to keep their plants alive, but still want their home to have that greenhouse vibe. This little display is super easy to assemble and will be a crafty solution for their lack of a green thumb.

    25. A portable mini fridge with a mirrored front that they can use to chill their snacks or skincare. Now they won't have to keep returning to their kitchen to grab a fresh ~beveragino~ or their frozen gua sha tool.

    26. A set of puzzle-sorting trays that'll help them separate their edges from their middle pieces. They stack neatly into a tower, making cleanup a breeze when they're ready to take a break from their masterpiece.

    27. A bestselling Moonology oracle card deck for anyone who's into ✨mystical✨ things. If their shelves are stacked with tarot cards and astrology books, this will be a welcome addition to their collection.

    28. A pair of shredder claws that'll have them cosplaying Wolverine in the kitchen. Sure, they look a lil' silly, but they'll actually make slicing through chicken, brisket, and all their favourite BBQ meats a total breeze.

    29. A deluxe-edition Scrabble game that looks fancy enough to keep on display. The wood board is equipped with handy game-piece storage and can easily be rotated so each player can get a good look at what's going on.

    30. A wireless keyboard that they can bring with them to class, on coffee shop adventures, and beyond. It's backlit (with seven colour options to rotate through) so they'll even be able to make out their keys in dark lecture halls.

    31. And finally, a pair of Apple AirPods Pro so they can block annoying noises and actually enjoy their tunes and podcasts. They'll last for nearly five hours on a single charge, meaning they won't die on them in the middle of the day.
