1. A JW Pei faux crocodile shoulder bag for holding all of their essentials and looking 10 out of 10 in their next 'gram.
JW Pei is an Asian-owned and family-owned small business with minimalist accessory designs that are made with sustainable vegan materials.
Promising review: "LOVE this bag. It’s the perfect size for my phone and wallet to do errands or just as a smaller bag if I don’t feel like carrying a big thing around. I was really surprised at how good the quality was. My mom bought one too and I’m definitely going to purchase in another color." —Sara Bullock
Get it from Amazon for $38.99 (available in 13 colors).
2. A phone camera lens kit so they can continue being the designated "picture taker" they are and document all of life's memories. This high-def, 4-in-1 kit will come in handy when they want to take some cool nature photos or perhaps some sunset pics for their new 'gram.
It comes with a 12x zoom telephoto lens, a fisheye lens, a wide lens, and a macro lens, all of which can be clipped onto most smartphones! The kit also includes a phone holder and tripod, a cleaning cloth, four lens covers, and two clips.
Promising review: "I bought these for my dad for Christmas as sort of a joke gift since he already has so many lenses for his camera. They actually turned out to be really really cool and high-quality for the phone! The lenses look and feel just like camera lenses, only smaller. They are very easy to use and create awesome pictures!!" —Anna F.
Get it from Amazon for $24.94 (also available as a 10-in-1 kit).
3. A white truffle-infused hot sauce in case they're a HUGE foodie and are never not pouring a condiment on their morning scrambled eggs (or any meal for that matter).
BuzzFeed writer Hannah Loewentheil absolutely *loves* this stuff (those are her pictures above!):
"I've been doing much more cooking lately. There's one ingredient that makes even my most average home cooking taste amazing, and it's this Truff truffle-infused hot sauce. The white truffle infused hot sauce quite literally tastes like heaven, but IMO, the classic black truffle hot sauce is the most versatile and a staple in my kitchen. And while at first $20+ seemed like an absurd price to pay for hot sauce, this stuff is worth the price tag. I mean...truffles. And I've tried plenty of truffle-infused hot sauces, olive oils, and what-nots in the past, but they often taste overpowering or low-quality. But this hot sauce is the perfect balance of decadent truffle, heat, spice, and a tiny bit of sweetness. I slather it on pretty much everything savory from eggs and tacos to sandwiches and fried rice. Even if my cooking tastes mediocre at best, a drizzle of this makes it taste almost restaurant quality and so full of flavor."
Get it from Amazon for $28.29.

4. An unbelievably adorable display stand perfect for their reading glasses so you won't have to ever relive the "Where are my glasses? Oh they're on my head" saga again.
Promising review: "This is the most adorable koala gift! He looks so sweet holding your glasses. Good quality and comes in his own box, which is perfect for wrapping. If you love someone who loves koalas, don’t hesitate! Totally giftable!!!!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in 13 styles).
5. An orange juice vase if cutesy decor just sets their heart aflutter. Pop in some faux blooms for the most iconic piece of decor they've ever owned.
Promising reviews: "I LOVE this vase! I like random, colorful decor and I’m so glad this popped up. It’s very sturdy and the colors are vibrant so you can tell it’s high quality. This vase only holds a small bouquet of flowers, it’s definitely more of a fun item than a practical one. I love how unique it is and it’d make a great gift, too!" —Drew A.
Get it from Amazon for $25.95.
6. A set of diamond-shaped whiskey glasses for drinking their special bar cart spirits in absolute style.

Get a set of two from Amazon for $34.99 (also available in sets of four and six).
7. A portable espresso maker so they can get their caffeine pick-me-up anywhere. This is great if they'll be traveling somewhere there's no Starbs in sight.
Promising review: "I wanted something small to travel with and to take along on camping trips. After shopping around for a while I found the Nanopresso and I have to say this thing fits the bill. I have had this for almost a month now and love it! The ease of use, size, and flavor you get out of this small gizmo is absolutely amazing. Yes, it is not an actual full-fledged espresso machine that you can have in your kitchen or from a coffee shop, but to have something this small produce what it does is fantastic. If you are an outdoors/traveling type of person and love having some espresso in the morning and don't want to go somewhere to pay for it, this will not disappoint!" —Anubis
Get it from Amazon for $69.90 (available in four colors).
8. A shiatsu massaging pillow to give them some much needed R&R while they sit in their recliner and watch their current must-watch show. No need to pay for expensive massages again. This is the gift that keeps on giving.
Promising review: "Best Father's Day gift! I bought this for my husband for Father's Day and was pleasantly surprised. The massager is compact and not bulky, but covers a great amount of area. My husband loves using this when just hanging out in the living room with our 2-year-old son, or when watching TV on the couch, or even when working in the home office. We have yet to bring it in the car with us but so far love this product. The option to turn off the heat is great too because sometimes we don't need it hot. All in all it's a great massager for the price and best part is I also get to use it, too. " —agnes s.
Get it from Amazon for $59.95+ (available in two colors).
9. A portable personal blender perfect for anyone on the go who still wants their morning smoothie. It can also be utilized to blend baby food, as a protein shaker, and for smoothies (obvi).
Plus, this is shatter-resistant and dishwasher-safe!
Promising review: "This blender is amazing! I am a yoga teacher and always on the run, which sometimes makes it hard to eat well. I bought this after reviewing quite a few different options and I am SO glad I did. It fits well into my gym bag, is surprisingly quiet when in use, and holds a charge really well. The blades are very efficient and I’ve had no trouble blending up ice or frozen fruit. Seriously cannot recommend it enough." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $36.99+ (available in six colors).
10. A shampoo scalp massager that'll create an enjoyable lather in the shower they'll probably get goosebumps from. It gets all the way down to the roots for one tingly experience.
Promising review: "I saw this little thing all over TikTok and everyone swore by it. To be honest, they’re right and I now swear by it. It’s perfectly soft and sturdy to massage the scalp. Works shampoo into roots and helps with dry skin and such. I absolutely love it and I use it every time I wash my hair. I most definitely would recommend to anyone. Don’t hesitate." —Z
Get it from Amazon for $6.98+ (available in three colors).
11. A huge ravioli spoon rest because pasta is probs a food staple in their home, and they'll need a convenient spot to rest their spoon as they boil their rigatoni and heat up some marinara sauce.
Promising review: "I have a new love for raviolis. This is the best little invention for a spatula holder. It's the perfect size for any utensil while cooking. Who would have thought this could make cooking so fun?" —Tmoney1522
Get it from Amazon for $8.41.
12. An AeroGarden Harvest for a cool way to build their own herb garden they can utilize while cooking. There's nothing like using fresh basil for that caprese salad they were hoping to make for dinner later...
Plus, reviewers say it's foolproof, so even if you're lacking a green thumb, you'll delight in seeing your herbs sprout up! It includes basil, curly parsley, dill, thyme, Thai basil, and mint seeds, along with a bottle of all natural plant nutrients.
Check out our AeroGarden review for more info!
Promising review: "This was worth every penny and then some. Easy to set up, spectacular results! Every one of the seed pods germinated and growth was quite astonishing. The first flower popped out about 45 days from setup. My garden is now covered in healthy vegetation and copious blooms. Can't ask for more! But I may have to buy more, LOL!" —D.L. Sniderman
Get it from Amazon for $120+ (available in three colors).
13. A box of foodie bath bombs to keep handy for self-care nights when they want to end their day soaking in a nice, toasty bath.

Promising review: "These are really nice and smell amazing! They are also extremely adorable. I love how my bathroom smells like the bath bomb hours after a bath. They do not leave a film and give your skin a soft feel and a pleasant scent. They also come with this little heart shaped thing to open/break the seal on the wrapping cover each individual bath bomb. Very nice! I’d order again!" —K.G.
Get a seven-pack from Amazon for $14.99.
14. A minimalist wood wick candle that is inspired by the wizarding world of Harry Potter. Not only does it smell like a fresh, relaxing beachside cottage, but the packaging is subdued and will look cute amidst their other decor.

Seeker & Slade is a woman-owned business based in Nashville, Tennessee. I absolutely adore the co-owners Morgan and Cam, and their entire site is filled with a slew of goodies you'll want to add to your cart if you're looking for a bit of magic.
I have this candle and it smells so fresh and clean. It doesn't clash with my other decor, which I absolutely love (since some candle packaging is awful visually). The wood wick adds such a nice crackle to the ambience and overall quality of the candle. I have two of their three candle scents and know they're always working on expanding their scent range!
Get it from Seeker & Slade for $29. You can grab their other scents "Homebody" and "Botanical Garden" too!
15. And a rechargeable candle lighter because fussing with matches can be a dangerous game. Ever light a candle with a match and see your life flash before your eyes? Yeah, same. This rechargeable lighter is flexible and can help them enjoy their candles safely.
Promising review: "I love this little gadget. I’m so tired of wasting my money on throwaway things like lighters and I wanted a more sustainable product to reduce the waste I produce. I don’t know how hot this gets, I’m not going to touch the little spark it produces but it lights my candles and fires without me having to get to close to the flame and burning myself. The charge lasts pretty long and it charges really fast. The blue lights indicate how much charge is remaining making it easy to tell if it needs a charge or not. Portable and the flexible tip makes it easy to get into some of those bigger candles that you can’t reach." —Sara Ursitti
Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in six colors).
16. An iridescent vase for adding a subtle pop of color to any spot in their home. If they place it near a window they can watch it shimmer in the sunlight.
Promising review: "I have gotten so many compliments on this vase and it fits my dried flowers perfectly! I also have a cat who has broken other vases before so the fact that this vase is acrylic has changed the game. It's pet-safe and beautiful." —Mary C. Lumsden
Get it from Amazon for $29.97.
17. A set of porcelain serving bowls to display fresh fruits on their countertop like the full-blown, successful adult that they are. Très chic! These would make a fab housewarming gift.
Promising review: "I wish I bought these years ago. Having a dinner salad has always been a choice of cramming it into a bowl or having it fall off a plate. With these, that issue is solved and as a bonus, things like pasta are much easier to serve and eat. They are very well made and heavy." —CNorris
Get a set of two from Amazon for $23.99 (available in four colors).
18. A digital alarm clock perfect for anyone who needs a sleek clock option for their side table that also offers some useful charging ports.
Promising review: "Love love love this clock. It's sleek and definitely a statement piece. The alarm is subtle but it will definitely wake you up without scaring the bejesus out of you. Love the extra ports on the side to charge other things with it." —Meika B.
Get it from Amazon for $19.59+ (available in seven colors).
19. A bubbling face mask that isn't just cute packaging. This fast-working face mask creates oodles and oodles of cleansing bubbles as it sits on the skin, detoxing and removing blackheads.
Promising review: "Literally made my boyfriend's blackheads disappear! I wasn't so lucky but his were really bad. Made our faces feel so clean. I love face masks and have gotten masks from all the top brands as well as drugstores, Lush, Sephora, or Ulta. This is one of my new favorites! Also it's so much fun to watch it bubble up; it feels like a spa treatment." —Katie Mitchell
Get it from Amazon for $7.90.
20. A record display shelf to exhibit the vinyl they're listening to. It's such an amazing way to keep track of what vinyl is on the turntable and it doubles as some cool wall art.
Record Racks is a small business located in Austin, Texas.
This is my second shelf from Record Racks since I moved and had one up on my wall in my childhood bedroom. It's one of my fave ways to display my records and doubles as a fun wall piece. It's such a conversation starter and def want to get a bunch of these for my friends for the holidays this year. It easily applies to the wall with command strips (these are provided for you) and your installation is complete!
Get it from Record Racks on Etsy for $17.99 (available in 14 colors).
21. An electric wine opener since no one should fuss over trying to get that pesky cork out of their wine and have the tragedy of the cork snapping in half (been there, done that).
This opener can open up to 30 bottles in a single charge. It also feature a foil cutter for easy seal removal and is rechargeable.
Promising review: "As a senior citizen, I find opening a bottle of wine can be a challenge using a manual corkscrew. This opener is great. You place it on the bottle with one hand while holding the bottle with the other and press a button. The corkscrew goes into the cork and will stop when it's fully inserted. Press the button again and it will remove the cork from the bottle and then continue until the cork comes off of the corkscrew. So much easier than doing it manually. I've used it at parties and the charge will last between 20–30 bottles." —CharmY2K
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
22. A split cereal bowl because everyone deserves the option to enjoy cereal soggy-free. OR, they can utilize for their fave milk and cookie combo.
This will also work great for yogurt and granola!
Promising review: "My life can be divided into two parts: before and after the Obol. Before the Obol, my life was a cornucopia of misery and suffering. The inevitable sogginess of my breakfast cereal caused me to live in a miasma of despair. The eldritch ability of the milk to foul Cap'n Crunch or Raisin Bran seemed an impossible foe. With every snap crackle and pop, like drums in the deep, I knew the saturation was coming for my precious malted grains. How can one enjoy the morning repast free from the heinous congealing of granule and dairy? Tiny bowls were insufficient to slake my cereal fiending... Obol, you have lifted the veil from my eyes. You've opened a new world for me. Thank you, Obol creator. You know not the positive effect on my life." —ChrisW
Get it from Amazon for $18.95+ (available in two colors and two sizes).
23. A cereal bowl candle that resembles all of those sugary cereals their mom told them would rot their teeth. Now their place can smell like Lucky Charms — take that, Mom.
Promising review: "Smells amazing and looks even more real than I ever imagined. Haven't burned it yet and don't know if I will cause it looks so cool." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in several other styles).
24. A handheld milk frother so they can work on expanding their barista skills. Their next latte will be fantastically frothy.
It's battery-operated, so hand-wash!
Promising review: "Love this little thing! I have everything you can think of at home for making coffee and espresso... Well, I love the Starbucks pumpkin cream cold brew with foam. I set out to make my own. Well, I can now make cold foam thanks to this little tool. Love it!" —Krose
Get it from Amazon for $10.79 (available in 13 colors).
25. An array of chocolate bars featuring flavors like Cookie Butter Milk, Rainbow Cereal, and so many more they'll swoon over after they take their first bite.
Compartés Chocolate is all handmade in Los Angeles. They're made by scratch every day by a small team of chocolatiers and artists using local ingredients from farmers markets.
I have had several of their chocolate bars and they're packaged so beautifully and taste amazing. My faves I've tried are the Cinnamon Toast White Chocolate Bar and the German Chocolate Cake Bar. These make such an amazing gift from the packaging to the taste. Who can resist chocolate?
Get them from Compartés Chocolate for $9.95+ (available in a variety of flavors).
26. A cold brew maker so they never have to attempt to drink watered down hot coffee poured over ice ever again. They'll thank you immensely for providing them with this gift from the caffeine gods.
Promising review: "This Takeya cold brew coffee jug is wonderful! I know a lot of people use mason jars, however, I wanted something easier to grab from the fridge and more lightweight (and cheaper!). I have used Takeya products before and have been impressed with their durability as well as the easiness of cleaning them. The coffee filter has an extremely fine mesh and it has not let through even the finest of coffee grounds. It is really easy to clean! I am really pleased with this purchase!" —LiliBelle

27. A bottle of highly effective Bio-Oil that is amazing for diminishing scars and adding hydration back to the skin. It's fast absorbing and has a ton of skin benefits. If they just had a baby, this is a wonderful gift option.
Promising review: "Acne scars? Read this. I found out about this product while scrolling through TikTok last week. It came highly recommended, so I decided to look up the price on Amazon. After reading several reviews, I figured I might as well try it out. Today is the fourth day I use the product on my face. My skin looks dewy and nice. The discoloration on my cheeks from a few years-old acne scars is improving. My skin looks younger — it’s hard to describe, but I can see a difference. It looks less rough. I’ve been using it morning and night." —Yasmin Rodriguez
Get it from Amazon for $8.92+ (available in four sizes and two bundles).
28. A set of vinyl coasters perfect for any music lover who would also get a kick out of this quirky and thoughtful gift. I doubt they've ever seen anything like these before.
Promising review: "I have multiple sets of these for myself and my boyfriend, and I have given them as gifts to several people. Everyone loves them, and they work really well! We are such sticklers for coasters, but we want something that is quirky, too, especially since my boyfriend is a conductor and musician. These are perfect, come in a fun box, and people love them when they come over!" —Kayla E
Get a set of six from Amazon for $6.99.
29. A waterproof Bluetooth speaker so they can enjoy their fave podcasts and playlists while they shower. A little Jack Johnson "Banana Pancakes" while taking a warm shower sounds like a dream.
Promising review: "I bought this portable speaker because I needed one that I could use in my shower and outside when it rains without worrying about it getting wet. I also like that you can plug a SD card into it and listen to MP3s that I have on my smartphone or computer. The sound is the best part of this speaker; it produces a nice rich sound and is not tinny like other portable speakers. It comes with a charging cable, and it can be hung or be carried with the adjustable lanyard that's attached to it. Pairing via Bluetooth is very easy to do. All in all, I am very pleased." —John S.
Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in six colors).
30. A jar of Momofuku's famously delicious chili crunch to add a mouth-watering new condiment to their lineup.

Promising review: "I bought these as a gift and she loved them. They are very nicely made. The person I bought these for didn't think they were heavy." —Jessica P.
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in silver and gold finish).
32. A sandwich cutter and sealer to make their own personal Uncrustables. Think: Nutella and Marshmallow Fluff Uncrustables...yum.
Promising review: "These have been a GAME-CHANGER in this house!! My son has always begged me for Uncrustables but my wallet didn’t agree with them. I LOVE being able to make them at home and customize them to exactly what they would like them filled with! I make two weeks' worth of sandwiches at a time and store them in sandwich bags in the freezer so in the morning during the school year we can just grab and go! Love them!" —Katherine Smaczniak
Get it from Amazon for $15.96.
33. A Disney Princess postcard box set perfect for any Disney fan who wants to send some magic mail to friends or frame them in their home. They come with 100 postcards featuring concept art from various princess movies.
Promising review: "These postcards are super cute and surprisingly thick/durable. I don't anticipate them getting bent or destroyed in the mail, so they definitely function well as postcards. They come with a mix of concept art and stills from the movies, which make for nice surprises to send to Disney animation fans." —cm
Get it from Amazon for $16.55.
34. A smart fragrance diffuser that'll sync up to an app on their smartphone so they can control how much scent is diffused at any given moment. This means if they're going to be away from home for a bit and don't want the diffuser wasting any of their precious scent, they can turn it off from their phone!
This set comes with one diffuser and two scents.
Promising review: "I love my Pura diffuser. I’ve had for almost a month and still have 60% or more left in each sent. I keep both scents at 3–5 intensity but you can pump it up to 10 if needed. It’s a small investment at first but totally worth it! All of it's powered by your phone." —Schultz
Get it from Amazon for $80+ (available in eight scents).
35. A set of Moon Globes to perfectly refresh skin after chilled in the fridge or freezer for a *tingle-worthy* cooling effect. They'll love incorporating these into their skincare routine.
Kiramoon is a woman-owned brand whose founder Lindsey sought out to make skincare and its packaging reflect the joy it brought her at the end of a long work day. With every Kiramoon purchase, they donate a portion of the proceeds to Bring Change To Mind, an organization dedicated to ending the stigma surrounding mental illness.
OK, not only are these incredibly fun to look at (they're basically a magical, unicorn-majestical, work of art), they feel so amazingggggg after a long day. After much bloating and a puffy forehead and tense jawline, these are such a relief to use. Skincare and selfcare should truly always be this fun. These are an upgrade from facial rollers and WAY cooler.
