    47 Gifts That Are Totally Worth Splurging On

    They are worth every penny.

    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. An Aerogarden Sprout that'll help them grow their own produce in the comfort of their kitchen. It can fit up to three plants and will do all the hard work for them so they won't have to get down 'n' dirty in their garden.

    2. 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.

    3. A portable colour sensor that'll help them figure out exactly what shade everything inside (and outside!) their home is. They can pair it with a free app that'll help then match colours with top paint brands so they'll never have to use swatches again.

    5. A Lego version of James Bond's Aston Martin that's trickier than those rockets and castles they made when they were a kid and will give them some new art to display when it's completed. It has all the key features of 007's whip, including a raisable bullet shield, working ejection seat, and rotating license plate.

    6. An outdoor pizza oven that'll have them crafting homemade pies that are way tastier than the 2-for-1 special they're used to ordering on Friday nights. It can be fuelled by gas or wood and has a built-in thermometer so they'll always know how toasty their appliance is.
