    If You're Looking For A Birthday Gift, Here Are 45 *Excellent* Ideas

    Presents on presents on presents.

    1. An itty-bitty power bank if their battery is somehow always dead. Reviewers love that it's 0% bulky and say it's great for travelling because it's so small and lightweight.

    2. A succulent craft kit if they can't seem to keep real plants alive for more than, like, four days. It comes with all the supplies they'll need to create six felty, leafy friends, so they can make a whole faux garden for their windowsill.

    3. A camera bag for when they just need their essentials (giant totes aren't always a must). It has two zippered compartments, plus a drop-in pocket at the back that'll help them keep everything organized.

    4. A Starry Night LEGO kit that'll basically turn them into a professional artist (move over, Van Gogh). It has over 2,000 pieces and will leave them with a masterpiece to display when they're done.

    5. A Moscow Mule cocktail kit that includes everything they'll need (besides alcohol) to craft the perfect boozy beverage. Now they'll be able to create an impressive drink, even when there are no mixers in sight.

    6. A pack of donut socks that are covered in tasty-treat inspired designs. Plus, they'll replace their hold-riddled ones (seriously, who couldn't use a few new pairs).

    7. A pair of U-link hoops from Jenny Bird that are a bit chonkier than their slim go-tos and huggies. Now they can make a statement without wearing dangly bling that gets caught in their hair.

    8. A copy of Journal 29 if they've never met a puzzle or riddle they didn't love. They can check that their answers are correct by scanning QR codes with their phone, so they'll know when they're ready to move onto the next phase.

    9. A Stanley cocktail shaker set that comes with two stainless steel cups, a citrus reamer, and a jigger cap. All the pieces fit together and are sturdy enough to bring along on outdoor adventures.

    10. A cozy Roots crewneck sweatshirt because they can never have too many in their collection. It's a touch oversized, meaning they can layer up underneath without ending up looking bulky.

    11. A copy of Ring Fit Adventure for their Nintendo Switch that'll have them exploring a fantasy world, defeating enemies, AND working up a sweat. If they love gains and gaming, this will probably be right up their alley.

    12. An egg carton of beauty sponges that is equal parts adorable and useful. Reviewers say the quality is comparable to more expensive alternatives and that the container makes it great for travelling.

    13. A Selv Rituel bath kit that has everything they'll need for some *chef's kiss* tub time — Himalayan pink salt, dried flowers galore, eucalyptus leaves, a tea light, incense matches, and some seriously luxe Nordic botanical oil.

    All the components of the kit laid out

    14. A copy of the Marvel Encyclopaedia that explains the whole Marvel universe, so they'll finally understand the intertwining plotlines. It'll also help them forecast what's to come in future movies and introduce them to heroes they may not have heard of yet.

    15. A smart meat thermometer they can use to make sure their steak or tenderloin is cooked to *perfection*. To get down to business they'll have to pair it with a free app — it will give them all the info they'll need, including how long their meal will take to make.

    16. A Tatcha lip mask duo if they're always complaining about their sandpaper-y pout. One has a pink tint, so they won't have to layer on products to get a hint of colour.

    17. A National Geographic crystal kit that'll have them crafting dazzling gems in their own home. They come with an illuminated base so they can use them as a rad night light situation upon completion.

    18. A record player stand if they're big into vinyl, but their collection is currently living on their floor (a sin, IMO). It can fit a whopping 80 records and even has a hook for their headphones.

    19. A pearl bracelet if they love dainty jewellery and wouldn't say no to adding more bling to their collection. This one has a bit more oomph than a plain link bangle, but isn't so wild that they won't be able to layer it with other pieces.

    20. A reversible grill/griddle they can use to char burgers or craft a stack of flapjacks. The cast iron comes pre-seasoned, meaning they won't have to prep it themself.

    21. A pack of claw clips with a different style for every ~mood~. Thanks to their size, reviewers say they can even hold back the thickest, curliest tresses.

    The five clips laid out

    22. A pocket-sized game of Kanoodle that'll keep them entertained everywhere they go. It's meant to be played solo and has over 100 puzzle challenges so they'll never get bored.

    23. A puffy laptop case that'll keep their computer protected while they're boppin' around town. It's so padded, they could also use it as a pillow when they need to take a sneaky nap.

    24. A pair of smart light bars that'll instantly jazz up any room in their apartment. They can control the colours and patterns from their phone — and they won't even need to get off their couch to get that ✨ambiance✨ goin'.

    25. A jewellery stand that'll keep their rings, necklaces, and bracelets from turning into a tangled mess. Since the base is a catchall dish, they can use it to store smaller baubles and accessories, too.

    26. A Millennium Falcon waffle maker for the wannabe Jedi in your life. The plates have a non-stick coating, so they won't have to battle with their breakfast (or risk massacring their perfect lil' flapjack ship).

    27. An adult colouring book for anyone who wants to be an ~artiste~, but isn't exactly skilled with paints 'n' pens. It's stuffed with botanical drawings inspired by Victorian etchings and the English countryside — truly beautiful stuff.

    28. A terrazzo cutting board that'll double as kitchen decor. Plus, when they have company over they can use it to display their charcuterie.

    29. An Unsolved Case File game that'll awaken their inner armchair detective and have them digging up dirt on potential suspects. Finally, all those hours spent watching serial killer documentaries and listening to murder podcasts will pay off.

    30. A scratch-off map for the nomad who just can't stop jetsetting. Now they'll be able to remember where they've been (and where they still have left to go).

    31. A card case if they're straight-up over big wallets and bags and just want to carry their Visa, debit, and cash. It's equipped with three card slots, plus a zippered pocket where they can tuck bills 'n' coins.

    32. A petite camping stove they can use to whip up a hot meal after a long day of portaging. Reviewers love that it burns smoke-free, meaning it won't stink up their campsite while they're making s'mores.

    33. A flashy new Echo Dot 5 that's basically a lil' personal assistant. It'll do all the tricks of its predecessors, but has an improved LED screen that'll show them the time, weather, song titles, and more.

    34. A bottle of TRUFF hot sauce that's a *touch* fancier than Tabasco or Cholula. It's the perfect balance of hot and sweet, and can even be used to amp up cocktails (your Bloody Marys/Caesars are about to get a lot better).

    35. A Charlotte Tilbury Healthy Glow Power Duo that comes with travel-size versions of the cult-fave Magic Cream and Magic Serum Crystal Elixir. These goodies are packed with vitamin C, niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid that'll give them the perfect canvas for their ~lewk~.

    36. A Bedsure blanket that'll be the coziest throw they ever own. It has a soft, velvety material on one side and sherpa fleece on the other, giving them 🎶the best of both worlds🎶.

    37. A Ninja Speedi they can use to cook their entire meal in one fell swoop. It has two compartments, so they can pop their tendies in the top section to air fry, then stuff their pasta or veggies below deck to steam.

    38. A bamboo laptop desk that'll make working from their bed a heck of a lot easier. The adjustable, angled portion of the top is vented, so it'll save their laptop from overheating when they've got a bazillion tabs open.

    39. A Philips Sonicare power flosser that'll take their dental hygiene routine to the next level. Reviewers say it's a lifesaver for anyone with braces and love that it can get into tight spaces they can't reach with traditional floss.

    40. A soufflé pancake light that'll add some much-needed cuteness to their desk sitch. It'll automatically shut off after an hour, so it'd also make a great nightlight if they hate drifting off in pitch-black darkness.

    41. A bestselling matcha starter kit that'll save them from spending, like, $8 on green tea lattes every morning. It comes with a whisk, a scoop, and a sifter, plus a handbook that'll teach them everything they could ever want to know about matcha.

    42. A reading logbook that'll help them keep track of all those novels they're planning on getting through this year. It has space for their reviews, how long it took them to read each book, and more. It even includes challenges if they're looking to become an even better bookworm.

    43. A portable espresso maker that'll have them brewing rich, delicious coffee — whenever, wherever. It's compatible with Nespresso capsules, meaning they won't have to order completely different pods for their coffee gadgets.

    44. A TUSHY bidet attachment that'll give their nether regions the TLC they deserve. They can even adjust the pressure and angle with the easy-to-access control panel for a ~customized~ clean.

    45. And finally, a gigantic body pillow and a sherpa pillowcase — a match made in heaven that'll keep them comfy 'n' cozy all night long. The pillow can be hugged, used for lumbar support, or slept on like a regular pillow (obvi), while the pillowcase will be the perfect winter swap for the cooling satin case they use in the summer.
