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 bottle of Canadian-made Heartbeat hot sauce that'll set their taste buds on fire (in the best way possible). It has a precision tip that'll save them from accidentally dumping the entire thing onto their plate so they won't make their entire dinner 🌶piquante🌶 when they just wanted a dash of heat.
2. A pack of word magnets that'll help them write their daily mantras right on their fridge. The set comes with 300 words so they can even use it to start putting together their future award-winning novel.
3. A set of plant badges that'll keep them on a first-name basis with their collection of ferns and cacti. They even have water markers so they'll know when they should be feeding their greenery.
4. A set of boobylicious reusable cotton rounds that they can use to swipe away their makeup when the day is done. They can even double as nail polish-removing pads if they don't mind a little staining.
5. A jar of maple pumpkin butter that'll add an autumnal kick to everything they bake. It also tastes great smeared on toast or eaten straight out of the jar (seriously, there's no wrong way to devour this stuff).
6. A book light if they're a night owl who likes do all their reading (or studying) after the sun goes down. The flexible arm will allow them to bend it to hit their page at just the right angle.
7. A password logbook if they can never remember their login info for anything. It has spaces for websites, software license numbers, and home network settings (basically, all the important stuff).
8. A butterscotch candle that'll make their home smell like sweet, sweet baked goods. It's scented with essential oils and made of soy wax so they won't have to stress about filling their apartment with nasty chemicals.
9. A set of solar system erasers that are way cuter than the plain old bricks they usually use. Plus, they'll always know which erasers are theirs because they're so unique.
10. A tablet stand that'll keep their screen at the perfect angle for streaming, gaming, and reading. It comes with a stylus that they can use to doodle and edit their work, too.
11. A scalp massager that'll make their shower routine a bit more luxurious. It's also great for working in shampoo, conditioner, and masks so their hair products can reach every strand on their head.
12. A cat-shaped white board where they can scrawl important notes and memos. It comes with a dry erase marker so they can start using it as soon as they unwrap it.

15. A celestial book sleeve that'll keep their stories safe from spills, tears, and scratches. Reviewers love that it can fit multiple books at one and that (depending on their size) it can even fit their glasses case.
16. A set of granite rocks that'll keep their drinks cold without watering them down (just remind them to pop 'em in the freezer before their guests arrive). They come in four different colours so they can use them as low-key drink markers, too.
17. A pompom hat that'll keep their noggin warm all winter warm. It has a wide folded brim and slouchy top so they'll actually be able to tug it over their ears.
18. A portable wine glass holder that'll stick right to the wall of their shower or bathtub so they can enjoy a glass of vino while they exfoliate. It can suction onto almost any flat, shiny, dry surface, meaning they can probably find a few other creative places to use it in their home.
19. A pair of bottle-cleaning beans that'll make the insides of their canteens sparkle. They're stuffed with ceramic beads that'll banish grossness from unreachable areas they can't get at with a sponge.

22. A travel utensil set so they'll never be stuck without a fork when they get their food to go. They're made of stainless steel and come with a silicone pouch that'll keep bits of food from getting all over their stuff when they throw it back in their bag.
23. A tea timer that'll let them know exactly how long to brew their black, green, and white blends. Now they'll never be stuck drinking a watered-down cuppa Orange Pekoe or English Breakfast.

32. A pack of Lapcos foot masks that are infused with charcoal and menthol to soothe and detoxify their tootsies. If their soles could use a little pampering post exfoliation, these will do the trick.
33. A set of hilarious magnets that'll jazz up their boring fridge with feline fannies. Now they'll lol every time they grab snack.
34. A glass salad jar that'll help them put together a balanced meal without any extra containers. It has measurements for dressing, veggies, protein, and greens so they'll always have the perfect ratio.
35. A pair of satin scrunchies that'll make every pony and bun look a whole lot cuter. Thanks to the silky fabric, they won't tug on their tresses or cause breakage like regular hair elastics.
36. A wax seal kit that they can use to give their gifts and stationery a personal touch. It comes with five different colours of wax and they can even mix them together for a marbled effect.
37. A bottle of Caesar rimming spice for anyone who takes their boozy brunch beverages seriously. Now they won't have to mix their own when they're battling a hangover.

40. A pair of reading socks that'll keep their feet toasty warm while they're lounging around the house. They have a sherpa-style lining that'll make them about a thousand times more cozy than their hole-riddled chaussettes.
41. A microfibre hair towel and shower cap that'll help them treat their tresses right. The cap will help save their pre-styled strands from getting ruined in the shower and the towel is perfect for days when they actually want to go through the trouble of washing their mane.
42. A wooden spoon with little cutouts that'll help them separate their egg whites from their yolks. It can also be used to drain wetter foods if they need help in that department.
43. A pair of metal bookmarks that'll save them from losing their spot. They're sturdier than paper alternatives and won't slide out when they're on the go.
44. A faux leather pouch that they can rock as a wristlet or use as a stylish pencil case or makeup bag. If they want less bulk, they can unclip the wrist strap and pop it in their backpack or handbag.
45. A pack of beeswax wraps that'll eliminate their need for cling film once and for all. They're compostable, reusable, and a lot more eco-friendly than classic plastic wrap.
46. An interactive drawing guidebook that'll help them master the art of doodling their own face. After learning how to sketch everything from their glasses to their tattoos, they can move onto more ~abstract~ projects, like turning themself into a robot.
47. And finally, a pack of erasable markers that they can easily buff away when they make a mistake. Now they won't have to worry about ruining their masterpiece if they accidentally colour outside the lines.
