1. A frog photo holder if their desk is lacking ~personality~. Not only will it look adorable sandwiched between their stationery bits 'n' bobs, but it'll save their fave Instax Mini pic from getting bent out of shape, too.
2. 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.
3. A Jenny Bird choker to add to their already-impressive necklace collection. It's made of gold-dipped brass and has a lobster claw clasp that makes it easy to do up on their own (I own this and can attest to it!).
4. A tarot card deck inspired by The Lord of the Rings that'll give them the mystical powers of Gandalf and let them see into the future — OK, not exactly, but they might be able to make a few predictions with its help. And don't worry, it comes with a guidebook, which means they won't have to be a seasoned pro to use it.
5. A pair of high-rise joggers from lululemon for anyone who lives in loungewear. Reviewers say they've stayed soft through multiples washes and love them so much that they've purchased them in multiple colours (that's how you know they're awesome).
6. An OLED Nintendo Switch if gaming is their passion. It'll bless them with even better graphics and resolution than the OG version, and it's small enough to pop in their bag so they can take it with them on all their adventures.
7. A cast iron Always Plan from Our Place that'll replace a ton of their busted, old cookwear pieces and look adorbs on display. It comes with a beechwood spatula that'll fit right into the integrated spoon rest and hot grips to save them from burning their fingies.
8. A Bob Ross activity book that'll have them creating art with water — just water! Since they won't even have to mess around with paints or pencil crayons, they won't have to be a total Picasso to use it
9. A Moroccanoil gift set that comes with a bottle of the brand's shine-boosting treatment and their hair and body fragrance mist. If they're obsessed with trying new products for their mane, they'll probably thank you a million times over for this.
10. A cardholder if they're straight-up over carrying around bulky wallets and bags. It has four card slots and snaps shut, so they won't have to worry about their Visa or bus pass flying out.
11. A noggin-shaped pot to replace that boring plastic one their fave succulent is currently calling home. When they want to give their new deskmate a new 'do, they can simply swap it with a different plant (a great excuse to buy a new baby pothos or palm).
12. A pop art puzzle that they'll be thankful for when they go on their next digital detox. It features a whole slew of weirdness and wackiness, plus cartoons of Andy Warhol, Salvador Dalí, Frida Kahlo, and Yayoi Kusama.
13. A pack of light-up lightsaber chopsticks that'll make them feel like Luke Skywalker every time they sit down for a meal. Now all they'll have to do is choose their side: Jedis or Siths (don't stress, the set comes with both).
14. A vegan cheese making kit if your pal is not down with dairy, but loves traditionally cheesy dishes. They can use the kit to craft faux mozz, cheddar, and ricotta, meaning they can make a ton of different recipes with their creations.
15. A Lolë puffer vest so they won't have to commit to a full jacket before they're ready to. Layering season is just around the corner (sorry), so they'll get plenty of use out of it.
16. A NYX Winx Eyeshadow palette if they love fairies, sparkles, and makeup more than anything else. It features a mix of mattes, shimmers, and glitters that they can use to tackle all kinds of looks.
17. A pair of Crocs chains if they already have enough Jibbitz, but aren't done jazzing up their shoes. They come in both silver and gold, so you can choose ones that match their go-to bling.
18. A Fellow kettle that'll inspire them to make their coffee every morning instead of paying a barista to do it for them. They can set the temperature to their liking, so they won't be stuck waiting for their scalding-hot cuppa joe to chill.
19. A GAP varsity dog jacket if they think their dog's style is equally (or more) important than their own. It'll come in especially handy if their furry friend doesn't have a lot of fluff.
20. A copy of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo that they'll read in under 24 hours because it's so👏 dang👏 good👏. It's all about a Hollywood legend who tells the story of her life to a young reporter who she tasks with writing her biography. Everything isn't what it seems and there are a few massive twists that had me clutching my imaginary pearls.
21. A hot dog rug for anyone who loves quirky decor. Thanks to it's small size, it's perfect for shoebox apartments and smaller spaces (like entryways).
22. A pair of itty-bitty 14-karat gold Mejuri hoops if they love minimalist jewellery and could use a new staple pair. They look great solo, but are obvi great for stacking, too.
23. A bottle of truffle-infused hot sauce because you know they love a high-class condiment. It's the perfect blend of heat, sweetness, and decadence, making it a true triple threat.
24. A copy of the Five-Minute Journal if they have trouble holding onto memories, but don't have the time or energy to start their own DIY journal. It has quick prompts for every day, so they won't have to fuss over what to write about before putting pen to paper.
25. A DIY pottery kit that'll give them an excuse to take up a new hobby. It comes with enough supplies to make six small pots (or two large pots), plus all the tools and a guidebook, so they can get started right away.
26. A knit beanie if fall is their fave time for fashion and they want to up their chapeau game. Reviewers say its super, super soft and that it has the perfect amount of stretch.
27. A glass birdfeeder that'll beckon winged pals to their apartment balcony. It also looks like a piece of art, making it perfect for anyone who is all about their home's ✨aesthetic✨.
28. A copy of From Here to There that's stuffed with just under 50 mazes inspired by art, architecture, and the great outdoors. It's sort of like the activity books they had as a child, but features much more complex designs.
29. A pack of extra-large butterfly clips if they've been on the hunt for something a bit more 🦋fun🦋 than basic claw clips. Reviewers love how powerful their grip is and say they can even hold back ultra-thick hair.
30. A four-piece travel set that'll help them stay organized on their next grand journey. Now they can keep their body washes and shampoos separate from their blushes and bronzers.
31. A kinetic sand kit that's basically a grown-up fidget toy. It comes with three tools that they can use to scoop, slice, dig, and mould while they chat away on conference calls.
32. A Lolë belt bag that'll be perfect for those days when they don't wanna lug around a gigantic tote. It has two compartments and an adjustable strap (so they can wear it crossbody or around their waist).
33. A pair of noise-cancelling Apple AirPods Max if they think earbuds are, to quote Hilary Duff, 🎶 so yesterday 🎶. Reviewers say they're the best wireless headphones they've ever used and that the padding is so comfy, they can wear them all day long without irritation.
34. 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.
35. A fleece zip-up from lululemon that is both a) warm and b) stylish. It has a cinchable hem, meaning they can crop it up when they're feeling a different silhouette.
36. A copy of Splendor, a gem-trading board game that's great for two to four players. It's not difficult, but it's super addictive so they should be prepared for hours of play.
37. A treat-tossing Furbo camera that they can use to stalk their dog when they're not at home (and feed them snacks, too). It has a barking sensor and will send them notifications when their pup is acting up — they can even use the two-way audio to tell them to cut it out!
38. A Jenny Bird anklet if they've already got enough necklaces, bracelets, and rings, but want to keep adding to their jewellery collection. It's super lightweight, so it won't bug them if their not used to wearing anklets.
39. A colouring book filled with illustrations of sassy animals sipping boozy libations (I mean, what more could they want?). Each colouring page includes a drink recipe, so it'll help them become a seasoned mixologist, too.
40. A sherpa fleece weighted blanket that'll take them straight to Snoozeville (and keep them warm, too). It can also help with insomnia and anxiety, making it totally worth the investment.
41. A Foreo Luna 3 that they can use to scrub-a-dub-dub away all the gross stuff lurking in their pores with ~gentle pulsations~. The companion app will guide them through their cleansing routine, so they won't even have to think about what they're doing.
42. A copy of Six California Kitchens that'll teach them a thing or two about cooking through both recipes and stories. Reviewers love that it's both a memoir and a cookbook and say the recipes aren't super daunting.
43. And finally, a plush body pillow and a satin pillowcase — a match made in heaven that'll help them sleep like an actual baby. The pillow can be hugged, used for lumbar support, or slept on like a regular pillow (obvi), while the silky-smooth pillowcase will save their hair from breaking when they toss and turn.
