1. A Furbo dog treat camera so the pet parent in your life can feed their little furball no matter where they are.
The Furbo dog camera is actually life-changing. If you're in a long-distance relationship with your pet (like I am) or you're away for a period of time (or even just the day), it can truly hurt your heart to be away from your furry BFF. Thanks to this gadget, people like you and I can still feel connected to our pet! The camera allows you to see and hear your dog, talk to them, and to toss them a treat! It's amazing.
Read our full write-up of the Furbo Dog Camera here.
Promising review: "I bought this item for my girlfriend who is deployed overseas in Bahrain. She loves her dog more than anything so I knew this would be a perfect gift for her. The first night I had the Furbo I was awoken several times in the middle of the night by high-pitched squealing and giggling of glee from my girlfriend not being able to contain herself. She was so excited to see him, talk to him, and give him treats, and OH BOY does she like giving him treats! By the time she gets back from her deployment I am sure he will be overweight and won't be able to run to her when she gets home. Thanks Furbo, your product is awesome and we all love it!" —maria

2. A Dead Sea mud mask they can use to have a makeshift spa night. Fresh skin and an opportunity to post silly selfies? What more could anyone want?
My sister and I have used this mask countless times while watching trash TV on my couch — it's a fun way to bond and improve our skin. A little goes a long way so this product will last 'em quite a while.
Promising review: "I'm not joking, I thought this was just going to be a normal face mask but I was wrong. The application was smooth and easy. After waiting 10 minutes, I took it off and....my face was smooth as a baby's butt, no lie. This made my face so soft and feeling refreshed and hydrated!!!" —olesya gordeyeva
Get it from Amazon for $14.95 (available in six scents).
3. A ~Fasta Pasta~ cooker your pasta-lovin' pal will worship since it'll help them make perfectly al dente pasta right in the microwave. It even doubles as a strainer!
Promising review: "I bought this microwave pasta cooker at a time when I did not have a stove. Even though I have a stove now, I still use this cooker for dinner for myself sometimes because it works so well and quickly! The pasta comes out very soft and perfectly cooked when instructions are followed. When the pasta is done, the lid is used to drain the cooker of water and works very well. Pasta is the only thing I have cooked in this product, but there are a lot of other things you can cook in it. I highly recommend this to any college student or adult who needs a fast microwave pasta cooker!" —Kelsi Murphy

4. A John Frieda hot brush for anyone who looooves to get pampered with a blow out but can't go out to get one right now.
Promising review: "I am not a paid person who writes reviews. In fact I usually don't write them at all. But let me start out by saying holy crap! This is amazing, not only was it so easy and fast... I have a salon blowout that actually looks great...and I never went to the salon! So I can't so my hair at all ever. The best I do is flat iron or messy bun, mkay? But I'm obsessed. When I go to the salon it looks great for two days and then bam I'm crying, 'cause I can't get my hair pretty like she did it, and now I hate it and myself. Sound familiar? Well I'm living proof this is amazing and it truly works. I won't lie I was hesitant because this looks and sound like crap/too good to be true. It's not!!! Happy buying — I'm buying another for my mom for Xmas how awesome!" —tangi raysor

5. A handheld knife sharpener they can use to bring their most-used kitchen utensils back to life in a flash without destroying their countertop or cutting boards.
Promising review: "I gotta say this is the best sharpener I ever bought in my whole life. I got it today and brought it to work. I work at a Japanese restaurant as a sushi chef and I sharpened it at work and, wow, my knife was as sharp as a samurai sword! Even my coworkers were surprised and asked me to order one for them. Thanks for the product ! Now I don't have to use the stone or sharpen rod that much anymore." —Rodrigo

7. A couple's card game you and your partner can whip out one a Friday night when you're tired of watching endless hours of Netflix and wanna reconnect.
The box includes 100 unique conversation starters ranging from basic and lighthearted to more serious situations. With questions like, "What was your proudest moment from the last 12 months?" and "What's one dream that you've tucked away for the moment?" you're sure to find something you and your S.O. can really connect with.
Promising review: "This game, if we should call it a game, is so wonderful. We opened the box and just randomly started choosing out cards. Some of the cards were quick and straightforward, while other were more thought provoking. We got some good laughs out of this and it was truly a refreshing change compared to our previous casual conversations. I see this can being very useful for couples who want to get to know each other but also for couples like us, who are so busy in our day-to-day with the work and kids. It gave us something different to talk about outside the typical operational 'how was your day' type of conversations." —Orit

8. A LEGO set of Central Perk from Friends — a must for any fan who has been reciting quotes like "you're my lobster" and "WE WERE ON A BREAK" for the last 25 years.
I have this set and it's officially one of my most prized possessions. The details are INCREDIBLE. I mean, there's even a mini figure of Gunther!
Get it from Amazon for $59.99.
9. An Amazon Firestick so they can watch talked about shows like The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel or sync up their Disney+ account. A gift that'll keep on giving if you ask me!
Promising review: "We have been getting steady increases in our cable TV bill with no increases in services. So we thought we would cut the cord and this device became the focal point for making that transition. We are very pleased with the performance of this device. It is easy to setup with prompts provided as you power it up. We then added our favorite apps, (also very easy), and have never looked back at the cable TV being gone. We now save over $100 a month without those charges for cable TV. If you are thinking of making the leap into cord cutting, this is the way to go." —Stephen H. Jenkins

10. Four trinket dishes that'll connect together to form one intricately designed place to store all odds 'n' ends efficiently and beautifully.
Promising review: "This tray is cute, modern, durable, and is a great compliment to many rooms in my home. I find that having four individual trays is convenient, and I also like that I can combine them together if I do not need to have everything separate. Having the ability to customize the pieces is handy for creativity, as well as complimenting the space I want to use them in. I sometimes have random trinkets that quickly clutter up a space and this tray is a great way to visually add division and organization." —Kimhoay

11. A set of bath bombs they can toss into the tub to unwind after a particularly stressful day and watch (some of) their worries ~fizzle~ away.
Promising review: "I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THESE BATH BOMBS!!!! I think they are fun in terms of the packaging, the names, the colors and the little 'extras' mixed in the bombs. I personally feel they are just the right size and love the colors. The first time around I was concerned about the color part but no worries — doesn't stain the tub. They are very moisturizing for the long tough New York winter we are experiencing this year; my skin tends to be dry but using these bath bombs on a regular basis has helped to keep my skin nice and soft. And the number of bath bombs in the set along with the price is just right!" —Pamela

Promising review: "I bought this as a surprise for my significant other, and he LOVED it! He is a sock fanatic and is always looking for new fun pairs of socks, and the presentation of this was a perfect touch to make it even more fun to deliver. Everything fit perfectly, and the socks in the pizza box looked exactly like what was expected! Thanks so much!" —Logan

15. A car seat gap filler, so they'll never have to fret about dropping their phone or a rogue french fry into a seemingly endless abyss never to be found again.
Promising review: "I have to admit, my expectations weren't very high. I thought it was more of a joke when my husband got this for me for Christmas. Little did I realize it would be one of my most favorite gadgets ever! I don't know if I realized just how many things went missing in my seat gap. It has really saved a lot of things from disappearing into that black hole. It was easy enough to fit into my car and it's soft! It's just like an extension of my seat, except it fits every curve of my seat! There really isn't another product that compares to this. " —Tessa Forbes

Comes with one Curly Wurly, one Picnic, one Twirl, one Starbar, one Crunchie, one Wispa, one Dairy Milk Caramel, one Double Decker, one Dairy Milk, and one Flake.
Promising review: "Just received several days ahead of estimated delivery which was very nice. All the chocolates/candy are very freshly dated and were protected by the packaging. The box itself was a bit dented but everything inside was perfect. I am very happy with this purchase. Several years ago, I went to a local British store and bought about $40 worth of candy for a British vs. American 'taste-off' for the kids, (we would read a book and then try to eat meals/snacks like the characters for a new experience). This was so much less expensive and I saved myself the two hour round-trip drive. Can't wait to show the kids and remind them of that taste-off picnic!" —dp

18. A hot sauce–making kit that'll spice up the life of anyone who receives it — ya might want to pair it was a gallon of milk.
It comes with seven bottles (three glass and three squeeze-bottles), a two-inch funnel, apple cider vinegar, spice blend, two pairs of gloves, five pH strips, peppers, instruction card, and labels.
Promising review: "I bought this product as a gift for my s/o, he loves to cook and loves all things spicy. Recently he had ordered ghost peppers and didn’t know what to do with them. So I started researching hot sauce kits and came across this one. We were not disappointed!! The packaging was cute and making the hot sauce was something fun and different to enjoy together. Having this kit it made it so easy!!! All of our friends have heard about our hot sauce–making adventure and want to know where to get a kit for themselves. Everything is included: tiny glass storing bottles, the spices, little squeeze bottles and tiny fill-in labels. He absolutely loved this gift and I can’t believe I got it for the price, considering everything that’s included. 10/10 would recommend" —Sam

19. An unofficial Harry Potter cookbook so the fan in your life can be a ~wizard~ in the kitchen, not just at Hogwarts.
You can whip up magical treats like treacle tarts, pumpkin pasties, and Molly's meat pies.
Promising review: "I LOVE IT, I'm no master chef but this cookbook might change that. I might even become a master wizard chef! Anyways the recipes are phenomenal, especially the pies! It's pretty basic sometimes; it's more European type cuisine so if you don't like haggis, liver, lamb, or other English/Scottish dishes etc. then these recipes aren't for you. The book references are cute and I vaguely remember some of them. My younger siblings go crazy when I make anything from this book because they love Harry Potter." —Tigerlily
Get it from Amazon for $10.95.
20. A roll-on migraine stick to help nip their pain in the bud before it gets out of hand and ruins a perfectly good day.
I actually did buy this for my best friend when she was starting to get so stressed out about her daily migraines. It helped immensely!
Promising review: "I can't give this product enough stars! I have suffered from debilitating chronic migraines for years. Prescription medications, while effective, usually make me extremely tired and result in rebound headaches, so I rarely take them. This oil blend is especially great for the days when I have a migraine, but am unable to stay home and rest. This takes the edge off the pain enough that I am still able to go about my day and do everything I need to do. I also love the way it smells. I sometimes roll it on my wrists just to enjoy the energizing fragrance." —Lacey V

21. An ironic garlic chopper inspired by Dracula that'll make any chef smile and prevent their fingers from smelling like pungent garlic all day.
You can also use it to chop nuts, fruits, and veggies!
Promising review: "I purchased this as a gift for my friend who is a fantastic cook — she uses fresh ingredients almost exclusively — but pressing fresh garlic is a task usually delegated. No longer — Gracula is there for her. She uses him nearly every time she needs garlic (which is basically daily) and months later still makes a point of saying how much she enjoys the gift. I'm pretty sure she likes it better than other gifts I've gotten her which were more expensive/thought out, and I'm fairly certain it's what took me from 'good friend' to 'best friend,' but it be that way sometimes. Anyway, definitely recommended for people who cook with garlic and have a sense of humor." —L

Promising review: "I really like this cardigan a lot. It's true to size and super soft. It's not super heavy or super light and would be perfect for a cooler spring or fall day. I could definitely see wearing this over a pair of leggings and a T-shirt, or a dress. Overall, this cardigan was a great purchase and I'm looking forward to wearing it more when it gets a little bit cooler." —Heather L.

28. A curtain of twinkle lights that'll make them feel like they've headed for the second star on the right and landed in Neverland.

33. An odor-neutralizing candle for the pet parent who loves their pup so much but hates how they smell after getting caught in the rain during a walk.
Senior editor Elizabeth Lilly is passionate about Pet House candles. Here's what she had to say about 'em:
"You're thinking 'A candle in a gift guide? Revolutionary, Elizabeth.' But HEAR ME OUT. I used to live with an adorable but v slobbery English bullie named Cleo and lighting one of these for 10–20 minutes annihilated any hints of eau de dog or roasting Brussels sprouts in our small apartment. And these smell like regular candles, (not your typical odor-neutralizing ones), so really they're the best."

Promising review: "I really love these cozy, cute slippers! I read lots of slipper reviews before choosing these, and I'm glad I picked them. They feel really soft and warm on my feet, they stay on well, and they look nice. You might want to order the next size up if you're between sizes. The customer service for this was also excellent — super helpful and quick. If you need slippers, I highly recommend these!" —Elizabeth O'Brien

37. A bee condo that'll have the nature enthusiast in your life saying "uh huh, honeyyyyy."
Promising review: "We mounted the Mason Bee house on our gazebo and within a week, eight of the holes were already sealed with Alabama red clay. We can sit in the gazebo and watch the bees fly back and forth working hard to fill the cavities. Eventually we’ll get the nerve to gently open the layers to see how the work was done. If you’re wondering, the bee house is very high quality construction. This would make a wonderful gift for our grandchildren when they’re a little older." —Mack S. Hall

39. A tiny Pokémon toy they can build themselves then keep on their desk as a reminder of their favorite '90s obsession.
Promising review: "After all the recent Pokemon hype, I decided to buy this for my friend for his birthday. He absolutely loved it and it is just as cute as you can imagine. Overall it was easy to put together, even with his large hand he had no problem with the small blocks. When I say small, I mean small! This is not for children to have without supervision. The instructions were easy to follow and the overall quality is very high. Even though each block is tiny they feel like they are very high quality and are just as sturdy as Lego’s are. This is a quick and fun project for anyone who grew up with Lego’s and wants to make an animal or Pokemon that they love." —Veronica C

40. A pack of oven liners to protect the bottom of their oven from any overflow/oozing and let them continue on pretending they're competing on The Great British Baking Show worry-free.
Promising review: "I expected to be happy, but I'm thrilled! Each mat is pliable and fits the entire width of my standard oven. When the mat is against the back wall, it extends up to but not over the front lip of the floor. On first use, pizza cheese and sauce dripped onto the front edge of the mat and onto that uncovered lip. The baked-on cheese and sauce slid right off the mat! Effortlessly! After I cleaned up the lip, I layered a second mat to cover the lip. These mats are so great that I almost want food to drip on them so I can show off how wonderful they are." —Artset Outset

41. A Bug Bite Thing Suction Tool anyone who has always been prone to getting bug bites will appreciate. It gently removes the venom that makes the bite itch!
Bek, an editor here at BuzzFeed, owns one of these and notes that while it doesn't completely get rid of bites, it does put a halt to the itching. It works with mosquitoes, bees, wasps, biting flies, no-see-ums, chiggers, and sea lice! Note that some reviewers say the suction can be really strong, so try to use it gently; and the company doesn't recommend using it on your neck or face, because it can cause bruising there.

Promising review: "I love this thing! The print is nice and large, and the spiral binding is super nice. The paper is still newspaper-y which makes it feel like a newspaper crossword without having to lug around a newspaper. I use erasable pens, and they erase great. The boxes are plenty big enough for the letters and the crosswords are all appropriately 'Monday' difficulty. Great thing to have! Can’t wait to finish it and move on to Tuesday!" —Amazon Customer

46. Cut resistant gloves — a must-have for anyone who isn't super confident in their knife skills and would like to keep all of their digits.
You can even pop these in the washing machine for a thorough cleaning.
Promising review: "After my husband sliced his finger on our mandolin I decided to check out these gloves. We are both very impressed with how well they work. The company who sells these is also wonderful — they sent a follow-up email to ensure that we liked the gloves and would have replaced or refunded our money if we weren't happy. The only thing I was concerned about when I ordered the gloves was if I was buying the right size. My husband and I have different hand sizes, but the medium is working well for both of us. And knowing that they would send a different size free of charge was wonderful. Now we don't have to worry about slicing off our fingers!" —That Author Guy's Wife

Promising review: "Recently decided to start a bullet journal, but absolutely hate my handwriting (it looks like a third-grader's scribble!). This book is really great!! It has a great breakdown of how the letters look on the lines and includes practice pages so you can improve your technique.

Avarelle's pimple patches are formulated with tea tree oil and calendula, which is said to heal and shrink zits overnight. A single pack comes with 40 patches in a variety of sizes to fit any pimple you've got.
Promising review: "I’ve tried so many brands of pimple spots, and these are hands-down the best on the market. I’m a performer at Walt Disney World, and a clear complexion is required. Last night, I put these on a few acne problems (a small cyst, a Whitehead, and a pimple I shouldn’t have picked and has been a bump for about three weeks now.) I just woke up and am writing this review in disbelief. THEY'RE FLAT! Gone! All of them! I could cry I’m so happy. The packaging is also ideal, because it allows you to conveniently and easily peel the stickers off without stretching them out or folding them back on themselves. Do yourself and your complexion a huge favor! Have these on hand for a stubborn zit when you really need help. Make sure you apply them to completely clean and dry skin." —Caitlyn

I've introduced everyone in my life to this delectable condiment. Mike's Hot Honey is sweet with a kick of heat — you'll want to pour it over everything you eat. I personally love it on chicken cutlets and pepperoni pizza, but do with it what you will!
Promising review: "I tend to shy away from spicy foods, but I couldn’t resist the opportunity to try a new condiment to liven up snacks and recipes with. I was afraid the spice would be overpowering, but it’s actually quite mellow and smooth; just the right touch of heat. So far, I’ve enjoyed this on fruit salad (banana/strawberry/blueberry) with cottage cheese and drizzled on the original Chick-fil-A sandwich....so delicious!" —Sleeps in Rain

51. A winged eyeliner stamp for your friend who obsesses over makeup tutorials but hasn't been able to perfect liquid eyeliner just yet.
Promising review: "Let me start by saying this isn't my first cat eye rodeo. I've tried the taping method, normal liquid liner, plastic winged stamping devices, stencils, all of it! Well, this gem arrived and I immediately had to try it out, all while laughing at how terrible this would probably turn out...but to my surprise I put the left cat eye on first and it was perfect. I thought this was a fluke and did the right eye...again, it came out clean and perfect! I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE BEEN ABLE TO DO A CAT EYE IN UNDER 10 MINUTES, LET ALONE THE TWO MINUTES THIS TOOK TO DO! There were no sloppy streaks that I had to touch up or anything you would expect. Just a clean crisp line. I can now do a cat eye EVERY day and look/feel like a badass. Everyone can think I spend hours doing my makeup in the morning." —LadyMeow

52. A "Stolen Hoodie" scented candle you can likely play off as an inside joke and definitely make your S.O. smile each time they light it.
That hoodie you borrowed from them with zero intention of ever returning? Yeah, that's the one. We've all been there. ;) They are sure to appreciate the thoughtfulness of this gift and how good it smells.

53. An ever-popular Instant Pot with so many uses they'll need to take a deep breath before deciding what to make with it first.
The Duo Plus replaces nine common kitchen appliances. It can be used as a pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, yogurt maker, and egg cooker, with the ability to sauté, steam, warm, sterilize... and oh, it makes cakes too. Read all about why the Instant Pot is changing how we cook in my BuzzFeed coworker's review.
Promising Review: "Perfect addition to the Instant Pot family. This little pot does the same incredible job as it's bigger brother and sisters. Great for making the side dishes or smaller main dishes. If you haven't gotten on board the Instant Pot train, do not hesitate! This mini pot even makes yogurt. The benefits to pressure cooking are numerous, using the Instant Pot makes it incredibly easy. Can you tell I'm completely smitten with this little appliance?! It proudly sits on my counter and is used nearly every single day." —Prairie Princess

54. A unique set of glasses your pal with an ~eye for design~ will be impressed you picked out — I mean, why wouldn't they? They totally rock (and so do you).
Promising review: "What do you get for the boss that has everything? Rocks glasses and then have them custom etched locally. Amazing weight to these glasses and they hold a hefty pour. Asymmetrical shape so they’re kinda cool. Not boring and traditional like a lot of the other ones I’ve looked at. Nice packaging made gift giving easy. They etched beautifully and they're made very well." —harrump

55. A Kindle Paperwhite for your bookworm bestie who prefers to kill time by reading rather than scrolling through nonsense on Instagram.
It's the thinnest and lightest Kindle Amazon has released to date! And — as is made abundantly clear by the photo above — it's 100% waterproof.
Promising review: "I love the fact that I can read on this Kindle in both daylight and dim light conditions. It is so light and compact, which makes it easy to hold, easy to travel with, and the battery lasts forever. I love it." —Amazon Customer

56. A hair scalp massager that'll quickly become their favorite shower accessory. They can use it to exfoliate and deep clean their scalp while applying their shampoo — it's a game changer.
I have one of these babies and it really is wonderful. Not only does it make me feel like I'm really getting in there while I'm washing my hair, but it also recreates that feeling you get when your hairdresser massages your head while washing it. Ugh, so good.
Promising review: "Love this product! About five days before I received it I dyed my hair at home. As some of you may know who do the same, it’s difficult to get the hair dye out of your scalp. I scrubbed my hair for days with my fingers and it seemed like everything was gone because the water ran clear. When I received the product I was excited so I am immediately jumped in the shower to use it. To my surprise a ton of hair dye that was stuck on my head came off. Not only that, but my scalp feels breathable and clean. Definitely not greasy 24 hours later like regular shampooing would do for me. I would recommend this product." —Lisa Agro
Get it from Amazon for $7.98 (available in three colors).
57. A fill-in-the-blank book with 50 prompts you can write in ahead of time and present to your loved one for a heartfelt gift they'll cherish.
It's available in tons of versions, from ones for moms and dads and grandmas and grandpas to more general ones like "Why you make me smile" and "What I love about you."
Promising review: "This is an adorable little book that is sure to bring tears to the eyes of whoever you're gifting it to! I purchased this and filled it in for my mom for Mother's Day. She loved it! And now she displays it in the living room, proud of the sweet daughter she has. If you're worried about getting a gift but you don't want to spend too much, this great! Takes a little bit of time to fill in, but definitely worth it when you see the look of joy on the person's face. I also purchased this for my boyfriend, some time after I had done it for my mom. It took some time to fill in, and it took some thinking, but it was enjoyable for both myself and for him. I found myself crossing out, adding in, and modifying a number of the pages, and it was still very cute! When we got into a fight later on, my boyfriend added in his own comments and things he loves about me, and slipped it into my handbag one day. You can believe I cried when I found it. I think this little book holds so much sentimental value, it's really just a great little gift." —Emilie C.

58. A set of socks to keep your loved one's toes toasty — beware, you'll probably want to pick up some for yourself!
Promising review: "These are wonderful socks. Soft and warm and not itchy at all like socks with such a high percentage of wool can be. They fit perfectly, hugging your foot instead of slipping around like a sloppy mess. Love the muted colors as well. Thinking about getting more in other colors!" —Debra A. Scott

59. A One Line A Day journal anyone in your life will love because they can chronicle their days without feeling pressured to spend an hour writing each night.
I got this as a gift recently and I'm obsessed. I've always loved journaling, but recently life has gotten in the way and I wasn't able to find the time to write. The One Line A Day journal solved that problem! It takes less than a minute to gather my thoughts and put pen to paper — and I still feel like I accomplished something! Your pal will, too.
Promising review: "I love this journal! I've always found it hard to maintain a journal — I felt like I had to fill all that empty space, and most days didn't feel worth writing about. With this, I can write just a few sentences, which is exactly what I need. I absolutely love that this is a 5-year journal as well. I'm over a year into my plain blue original one, and reflecting back on the past year is helping me to really see how my life has changed (or not). I bought this version of the One Line a Day journal for a friend. The cover and pages are beautiful, fun, and modern. " —juliabos

60. Glossier's Boy Brow, because the gift of flawless eyebrows will truly be the gift that keeps on giving.
My coworker AnaMaria Glavan is passionate about this product. Here's what she had to say:
"Believe the hype: this magic bottle is proof that not all heroes wear capes. The creamy formula, which comes in blond, black, clear, and brown (which is what I used!), goes on smoothly and doesn’t require a lot of product to do the job. I used the wand to brush baby hairs in the beginning/middle of my brow upwards, and then brushed the longer, toddler-like hairs at the end of my eyebrows, sideways. And one coat was more than enough! Boy Brow does what exactly what the Glossier brand claims to do; it gives me a filled-in eyebrow that doesn’t look filled in. The finish looks natural, which is exactly what I wanted — my facial caterpillars have never looked better."
Get it from Glossier for $16 (available in four shades).
61. A massage roller they can use to apply acupressure on the bothersome parts of their feet to make them feel fantastic before heading off to bed. It's so easy to use they can roll away without taking their eyes off of the latest episode of The Crown.
Promising review: "I’ve been having so many issues with my feet the last few years. My feet hurt so bad, it’s made me become a hermit. I’ve had tendinitis in both and now plantar fasciitis. I get foot cramps all the time. After just one day with this under my desk at work, I feel a huge difference. My feet no longer feel tight and painful. They feel tingly — in a good way. I look forward to being able to go for a walk and not have to rest along the way. I know it’s meant for feet but I may try it out on my calves. I also love that it’s small, looks nice and doesn’t slide around. I highly recommended this for anyone, foot issues or not, if you sit a lot. Nice way to keep the blood flowing when stuck at a desk." —Vanessa Thomas

62. A pack of colorful silicone straws you can share with your fellow environmentally conscious colleagues who accompany you on iced coffee runs.
Promising review: "I was kind of shocked at how good quality these straws are! They come in a neat little baggie that you can store them in, and the straw cleaner as well! I don't usually leave reviews on products (even if I really like them), but they donate 100% of the proceeds of your order to OCEANA if you leave a review, and that's a HUGE plus for me. So not only do I really like the product, I get to share the good news through this review AND my payment gets donated to OCEANA. I really really appreciate that. 10/10 product!" —Amazon Customer

63. Or a LifeStraw personal water filter so your adventurous friend or family member who lives to hike will always have access to fresh, clean water.
Promising review: "Used it on a hike recently; tried different configurations as shown, with the drinking straight out of the river, and out of a wide-mouth bottle. The flow-rate through the LifeStraw is a little reminiscent of drinking a really thick milkshake, which is understandable considering the filter basically gets everything. When I filled up my Nalgene with water from the stream, I could see the sediment start to settle; I even made sure to get some with the straw just to see. Worked like a charm. You just need to remember to blow into it afterwards to clear out the straw." —Kingston

64. An ice roller, which is said to help decrease under-eye puffiness, minimize fine lines, and shrink the look of pores — as well as to relieve headaches and sore muscles.
My sister bought this for me and I'm obsessed with it — which is why I know it's awesome! It's my favorite thing to start my pampering with, but I also use it in the morning before I apply any makeup. All you have to do is pop the separate roller piece into your freezer and you'll be ready to de-puff in no time.
Promising review: "Extremely affordable and feels great on my face right when I wake up in the morning!! I can feel the difference after a couple of rolls along my puffy eyes and face. It soothes my puffiness with the cold but bearable feeling. And it does stay cool for a good amount of time. Best thing is its not a watery mess." —Tammy N.

Promising review: "We were going to wait for Christmas but decided to bring it out this past weekend for my daughter. It's REALLY cute. I've seen other Little Tikes models but this set is super fun because it has little modern foods and cute emoji faces on em. It's adorable and you can build it into a shorter or taller set up depending on your child's age." —Emmy Nicole

66. A copy of Magnolia Table (by interior designer extraordinaire Joanna Gaines) to remind them how much they love hosting holidays at their home.
Promising review: "This is probably the prettiest cookbook I have ever gotten. I received one as a gift, and I ordered this one to give as a gift. It makes the perfect housewarming or hostess gift. The recipes are not fussy and easy to prepare as well as delicious. It has everything from appetizers, brunch, entrees, and desserts. The pictures are beautiful. I don’t like things on my counter but this is so pretty I made an exception. My husband loves to cook and is using it. It even won him over. I highly recommend this cookbook." —Elle J

67. Layered tassel earrings accompanied by a druzy stud to add some extra glam to your loved one's accessory game.
Promising review: "These earrings are exactly what they look like! They are light and vibrant, and went perfectly with my dress for graduation. They are not falling apart or shedding like other similar earrings had earned reputations of doing (based on reviews). They hang at a good length and did not tickle my neck or annoy me by hitting my shoulders. I am glad I chose these earrings!" —Amazon Customer

70. An electric toothbrush with a subscription-based brush head refill, so your roomie will never have to remember to buy another toothbrush or brush head again. Now THAT is something to smile about.
Does your friend boast about being a minimalist? Or maybe they just have ZERO counter space? Then the Quip might just be the toothbrush of their dreams. It has a three-month battery life, comes with a wall mount and travel case, and is super quiet during use. I own one myself and love how it encourages me to brush thoroughly.
Promising review: "I truly love this toothbrush, feels great when done. Like the fact that it tells you when to move to the next quadrant. People in general do not take the two minutes to brush their teeth, much less concentrate on each quadrant and change the brush every three months. Anyway, I love it and will recommend it." —Maria S.

71. A faux fur throw blanket any homebody would be happy to receive.
Promising review: "Much softer and fuzzier than I expected. I bought this for my Hyggekrog (my cozy nook) where I curl up with a cup of herbal tea and read. It's super plush and lux for a throw. Feels like real chinchilla. The underside is a soft fleece that feels like spun air it's so soft and light. My cats love it too (see photo). Definitely buying another for a gift." —Andrew Demcak

73. A cleaning pen to help your newly engaged or simply jewelry-obsessed pal keep their gems sparkling.
This seemingly average little cleaning pen is filled with a high-performance formula that cleans jewelry like nothing I've ever experienced. It contains micro-fine cleansers, polishing agents, and a polymer that will make your gems so shiny they'll nearly blind you. I've used it on my diamond rings, but it also works wonders on my cubic zirconia earrings. Check out my full review of the Connoisseurs 1050 Diamond Dazzle Stick.
Promising review: "The center stone of my ring (an oval white sapphire) has been cloudy since shortly after I got it. I have to use a lot of hand sanitizer at work, which gets under the stone. This product was easy to use. The little brush gets under the stone really well (much better than a toothbrush). My ring looks like new." —FintanCat

74. A custom plush doll for the person who *thinks* they have everything but doesn't yet own a miniature replica of themselves. Honestly, why would you NOT want this?
My colleague Mallory Mower had one of these made of herself and when it arrived we both squealed in delight for what seemed like hours. Here's what she had to say about her experience:
"I never knew what a doll I was until I got this li'l cutie in my life. The design process is simple and super satisfying. Just upload a photo with the outfit you want the doll to have, fill out the included chart to make sure they know your exact eye color, skin tone, and hair color, approve the check made by the designers, and wait on your incredible custom piece! Get ready to have your self esteem hit unhealthily happy levels."

Promising review: "Since I am a football coach, I first decided to buy this for my wife as a fun purchase for when she's not able to be at our games on Friday night. She loved it and was shocked at the quality of the candle and how good it actually smelled. I will definitely be a returning customer for this scent and others." —Bbtp

76. A teddy coat you should also treat yourself to as a reward for remembering to buy your friend a gift in the first place. Good for you!
My best friend and I both picked up this coat last year and have already discussed how excited we are wait to break them out again now that the weather is slowly getting colder. It makes me feel like I'm being enveloped in a warm hug — and who doesn't want that?
Promising review: "This jacket is so soft and warm, and the big pockets are a plus. Like other reviewers, order a size up so you can comfortably layer under and zip up. I usually wear a small but got a medium and it’s perfect! Super cute, I’ll probably buy another’s in a different color lol." —Brianna

Promising review: "Another item that I don't know how I survived without it. I can finally have fresh brewed ice tea whenever I want, and this cup is wonderful to take to the office. Generous sized, it carries me through my day. Because of the ability to use the loose tea I have been experimenting quite a bit and have found a few new favorite herbal teas. Highly recommend." —Christine

Promising review: "I have a hard time with statement jewelry because they are typically pretty heavy and I end up having to take them off quickly. These however are very lightweight. I wore them to dinner over the weekend and didn't have any issues with them. They are very cute and went perfectly with my outfit. I would recommend these for a pop of color to any outfit!" —Lindsey Barlow

79. Gold under-eye collagen masks your buddy can break out for an at-home spa night or whenever they "accidentally" stay up all night bingeing something new on Netflix and need some de-puffing.
Promising review: "These eye masks are absolutely amazing! I have hereditary dark circles under my eyes, as well as slight bags from being a mother of four. Eye creams do absolutely nothing for me, and I gave these a try just on a whim, not really expecting much. But they really work! The results aren't permanent, but I put these on for about an hour in the evening while I relax and watch TV, and my under eyes are much lighter and less puffy. I absolutely love these eye masks, and I will never be without them again." —Kate Johnson

83. A subscription to Atlas Coffee Club to bring aromatic, fresh beans from all over the world right to your caffeine-loving pal's porch.
My fellow BuzzFeed editor Kayla Suazo tried out Atlas Coffee Club and only had good things to say:
"My first observation after opening the box was the smell. It smells FAN-FREAKIN'-TASTIC. It also comes with sweet postcards from the cities where the batches are from, so the entire experience feels so lovely and personal. As for the coffee itself, it's heavenly. I am used to store-bought coffee — which yes, is fine — but both of these tasted incredibly fresh and different from each other. The Peruvian coffee has this dark, almost chocolate taste to it, so I imagine it would be delicious with a morning sweet treat (maybe I should start eating pie every day?). The Colombian batch, on the other hand, was a little lighter roast-wise but still had delicious notes of rich sweetness. TL;DR: both of them were incredible both in taste and quality."
