    39 Gift Ideas For Anyone With A Birthday Coming Up

    These definitely won't get re-gifted.

    1. A LEGO flower bouquet if they forget to water the fleurs they treat themself to every single time, without fail. These ones won't die, but they will look just as cute on their table.

    2. An AeroPress device that uses a total immersion brewing process and pressure to make rich coffee and espresso shots, so they can be their own barista in the great outdoors. It takes less than a minute to press coffee, and can make up to four cups at a time.

    3. A bottle of Nest Madagascar Vanilla perfume oil because smelling 💯 is a non-negotiable. It has notes of Madagascar vanilla bean, vanilla orchid, and coconut, so if they've always wanted to smell like a vacation, they'll love this.

    4. 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.

    5. 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.

    6. 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.

    7. A Buddha Board so that they can find their zen through art. It's basically an adult Etch-A-Sketch — they can create masterpieces with the included brush in water and their doodles will disappear as the water evaporates.

    8. A pair of silky satin pillowcases that'll make them feel like they're staying at a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ hotel when they crawl into bed at night. Thanks to the smooth texture, they'll also save their hair from frizzing up and breaking.

    9. A 23andMe DNA testing kit to help them learn more about their family tree. They'll even be able explore traits, like their freckles and hair colour, and learn what their DNA has to say about their preferences when it comes to tastes and smells.

    10. 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.

    11. A PopSockets phone mount with flexible arms that they can use to create a stand or bend around anything (we love options). And since it'll clip right onto their PopSockets grip, they won't have to worry about their gadget slipping off.

    12. An All Night Festival Bag with an adjustable strap and secure closure that's the *perfect* size. If their trusty Everywhere Bag just ain't spacious enough, it might be time to upgrade them to this gem.

    13. A sherpa cushion that's more supportive than what they snooze on. Whether they like working from the comfort of their bed or need something to prop them up while they're reading, this is bound to come in handy.

    14. An egg bite maker that'll make whipping up protein-packed breakfasts and Starbucks dupes a total breeze. It'll make perfectly uniform patties that they can dig into solo or slide between a sliced English muffin.

    15. A flower cat tree that'll give their feline friend somewhere to perch so they might give them their spot on the couch back. Since the stems are scratching posts, it may stop them from destroying their furniture, too.

    16. A pair of hair forks if they're absolutely over massive silk scrunchies and claw clips. Reviewers say that they can even hold thick tresses in place for an entire day without budging.

    17. A pair of bestselling CRZ YOGA leggings that are smooth like butter. They're perfect dupes for lululemon Align leggings, but cost, like, half the price.

    18. Or, if they want the real deal, a pair of flared yoga pants from lululemon that are a bit ~groovier~ than classic skinny leggings. They're made of ultra-soft, four-way stretch fabric and have a hidden waistband pocket for tiny treasures.

    19. A deck of non-cheesy affirmation cards that'll give them the dose of positivity they need to keep on truckin'. Reviewers say that they're simultaneously inspiring and hilarious, which is a combo I can get on board with.

    20. A VW bus cooler that'll keep their groceries and picnic snacks at the perfect temp. Plus, it'll look so cute in all their pics.

    21. A pair of Warby Parker sunglasses that'll shield their peepers from the sun's harsh rays (and look good doing it). You can even get them loaded with prescription lenses if you really wanna do 'em a solid.

    22. A copy of One Question A Day For Finding Calm to help them master the art of self-reflection and chill the heck out. Filling it out will take a whopping three years and they'll be able to see how their answers change as they complete it.

    23. A petite aromatherapy diffuser that's small enough to fit in their car cup holder. It also works as a humidifier, which is a bonus if their space tends to feel a bit stuffy.

    24. An ice cream maker that'll churn frozen bananas (or any fruit, really) into delicious soft serve. Now they can eat dessert for breakfast instead of a boring smoothie — who doesn't want that?

    25. A tub of Sol de Janeiro Bum Bum Body Scrub if they're ready to shed their winter skin like a snake. Forget regular salty blends, this one uses cupuaçu seeds, sugar crystals, and coconut oil to get skin smooth and moisturized.

    26. A tablet pillow that'll make streaming and studying a heck of a lot easier (and comfier). Now they won't have to lean their device against a makeshift stand made out of a stack of books.

    27. A Bissell Little Green carpet cleaner that'll suck any grossness out of their carpets or furniture in a ⚡️flash⚡️(perfect if cleaning is their passion). It's not just a one-trick pony, though — it can be used to remove stains, get rid of odours, and even remove pet hair.

    28. A spinning jewellery tree that'll keep their chains and hoops from turning into a tangled mess. Since the base is a catchall dish, they can use it to store smaller baubles and accessories, too.

    29. A duffle bag they'll wanna bring with them on all their adventures. The interior is separated into three compartments — now they can keep their clothes, snacks (obviously), and work stuff organized and easy to access.

    30. An itty-bitty sound machine so they can block out the sounds of their neighbours bickering or the construction across the street with sweet, sweet white noise. And, with the help of the companion app, they can control it remotely and create an automatic on/off schedule.

    31. A propagation station that'll give their itty-bitty plant clippings a place to grow. The three glass vases are lined with blue silica and faux shells, making them a touch more interesting than whatever they're using right now.

    32. A candle warmer so they won't have to deal with flames or smoke to get their apartment smelling amazing. It's not just a one-trick pony though, it also doubles as a light so they can set the ~mood~ in more ways than one.

    33. A set of Grown Alchemist minis that'll introduce them to an entirely new skincare routine. It includes a gel cleanser, a balancing toner, a detox serum, a day cream, and a hand cream (what more could they want).

    All the products next to their travel bag

    34. A SodaStream Art that'll have them creating bubbly beverages in the comfort of their own home. Now they can kiss the days of lugging home hefty cases of soda water buh-byeeee.

    35. A velvet meditation cushion that'll help them on their quest for zen. Annnnd, when they're not searching for inner peace, they can use it as an extra floor cushion when they have pals over.

    36. A wearable heat pad they'll be thankful for when their back is acting up (and when they're heckin' chilly). It's made of super soft material and has six heat settings, so they can adjust it to suit their needs with the click of a button.

    37. A pack of claw clips with loop-de-loop details that'll make 'em stand out in their ever-growing collection of hair thingamajigs. They'll come in especially handy on no-wash days when they still wanna keep their mane looking on point.

    38. A bottle of Moroccanoil dry body oil that'll bless their parched skin with some serious moisture. Reviewers love that it doesn't leave them feeling greasy and say that it smells, like, stupid good.

    39. And finally, 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 they won't stink up their campsite while they're making s'mores.
