1. A Takeya cold brew maker with an airtight lid and stainless steel filter that will keep their coffee fresh for up to two weeks. "No more having to wake up extra early to stop for cold brew at that expensive coffee shop," they'll say to their reflection in the mirror, heart jittering as they sip their 15th cup of cold brew for the day.
2. A third-generation Echo Dot that can do everything from play music and make calls to read the news and set alarms — all at the sound of their voice! Having the ability to send texts and shuffle playlists (all hands-free!) is about to completely change their life for the better.
3. A vegan Acure brightening scrub made with argan extract and chlorella gentle enough to exfoliate acne-prone skin without causing further inflammation or redness. It'll also be an absolute 🌟 superstar 🌟 at fading scars and brightening their skin.
4. A tiny knife sharpener because that knife of theirs can barely slice through bread, let alone a steak. This features two sharpening options (coarse and fine), and is designed with a non-slip base to ensure that it stays put whilst in use.
5. A Gumby dog toy guaranteed to make your four-legged best friend a very happy boy. Reviewers swear that their pets loves this chew toy an immeasurable amount!
6. A coconut sugar Handmade Heroes lip scrub to prep their pout for bold lipstick. This will give 'em smooth, moisturized lips free of any flakes from extreme dryness.
7. A grooming glove that let them pet their pup or cat while also helping them get rid of the excess fur that would otherwise shed and be laid to rest all over their apartment. It even stimulates skin oils, promotes a softer and shinier coat, and can be thrown into the wash when it needs a deep clean itself.
8. A Lily England rose gold hair brush cleverly designed with an ergonomic handle (READ: no more tired wrists) and gentle flexible bristles that glide through any hair type whether wet or dry, ridding your mane of knots with no painful tugging necessary.
9. Bottle Bright cleaning tablets to quickly remove all that funky, gross, probably-starting-to-smell build-up in their favorite water bottle. These are biodegradable, chlorine-free, and require absolutely NO effort or scrubbing, but will make their water bottle look as if they've just brought it home from the store.
10. LED curtain string lights for folks who prefer dim ~mood~ lighting while spending their Friday night bingeing the newest Netflix original. Why go outside when you can stay inside, am I right?
11. A flight flap that is deceivingly strong despite the fact that it's as thin as a piece of paper. For the frequent flier in your life, this easily molds into the seat in front of them or can remain upright on the tray table, holding everything from their Kindle to their iPhone perfectly in place.
12. An Anker wireless charger one assumes could cost upwards of several trillion dollars, but is surprisingly less than $10. This gives battery power/life to your device (think everything from AirPods to Galaxy phones) and even works through tough external cases!
13. A portable massage ball that can provide quick stress relief, improve circulation, relieve stiffness, and just feels really darn good when run over sore muscles. It also provides 360 rotation and is comfortable to hold, which means giving your partner a massage will have never been so easy.
14. A passport case complete with card, boarding pass, and pen slots for anyone who loves to travel and has an Instagram account that is the envy of their friend group...but is also extremely disorganized. Stop aimlessly throwing important documents into your purse, friend. It won't end well.
15. A leak-proof champagne stopper that will keep their favorite beverage as fizzy as the day it was popped. This built-in pressure pump preserves bubbles and therefore preserves the champagne, meaning it won't go to waste if they don't finish the entire bottle on the day it's opened. Now without further ado, can I get a mimosa please?
16. A luxurious Dove body polish that enlists the help of crushed macadamia and rice milk for skin smoother than a baby's behind — and unlike most exfoliators, this formula won't leave their complexion feeling dried out the moment they step out of the shower.
17. A gluten- and cruelty-free Essence mascara with a clump-free, smudge-proof formula here to up your lash game like whoa. Just a few swipes of this will have everyone asking your the most coveted compliment-in-the-form-of-a-question: are those your real lashes?
18. Adhesive cable clips to help keep their home office clutter-free. These will prevent alllllll of their cords from tangling with one another, eventually becoming a spider web mess that they'll never be able to fix. Emphasis on the never.
19. A six-quart Instant Pot pressure cooker capable of turning meal prep into something that is not difficult. This handy thing can make everything from golden lentil soup and mac and cheese to chocolate lava cake and French toast.
20. A desktop heater so their coffee remains hot to the last drop, because having to sip on lukewarm beverages that are supposed to be warming your soul in the morning = a bad start to the day.
21. A mini skillet that looks like part of a larger, more expensive cookware set featured on many a bridal shower registry. This is large enough to make their favorite meal but small enough to easily store away, is perfect for cooking for a party of one, and won't take up their entire sink when they don't feel like washing it right away.
22. A rosewater Mario Badescu facial spray with so many uses, it's hard to keep track of 'em all! This can set and refresh makeup, give foundation a dewy appearance, add refreshing hydration to dull-looking skin, and help keep breakouts at bay. And the scent? Freakin' divine.
23. A dishwasher-safe handheld scraper that will get all the burnt-up food crisps permanently off their very expensive cookware set. (It also is great at removing gum and stickers, because we love a product that boasts versatility.)
24. An overflow drain cover for the Lush bath bomb aficionado who has yet to own a luxurious tub. They'll get that clawfoot one day, but for now this cover will add extra inches of water to their soak.
25. Silicone brushes that are an absolute necessity for every skincare aficionado out there. This lets them slather on that thick mud mask without a) getting their hands covered in said mud mask, and b) prevents them from picking up (and wasting) excess product which means money saved.
26. A twist-to-dispense click pen that will wipe away built-up gunk (a result of lotion, soap, etc.) to reveal a brighter, more breathtaking surface to all of their jewelry.
27. An insulated, stainless steel Hydro Flask water bottle (with a lifetime warranty) that keeps drinks cold for up to 24 hours and hot for up to six hours, meaning they'll be able to stay hydrated/caffeinated all day long. *proceeds to drink less than one sip of water per day*
28. A clay bear they can place in everything from brown sugar and baked goods (to keep soft and maintain moisture) OR to spices and salts (to keep everything dry and crispy).
29. A no-tie lacing system that is durable, adjustable, and conforms to their foot for a personalized feel. Raise your hand if your shoelace has ever come undone while walking from Point A to Point B, resulting in you falling flat on your face! With these laces, that'll no longer be a problem.
30. A Dash rapid cooker for taking the ~hard~ work out of their morning egg-based breakfast routine. For a gift that is both useful and seems like it would cost a million bucks, this handy gadget is it.
31. A Maybelline lip palette here to deliver shine, shine, shine — all without any of the sticky residue we usually associate with glosses. Give them the gift of experimenting with eight different hues with just one product!
32. A geometric tray with four interchangeable and stackable pieces that look like they were sourced from a modern art museum. Plus, these gorgeous pieces of art (ART, I tell ya) are perfect for everything from jewelry storage to breakfast in bed.
33. A handheld milk frother that makes it easy to whip up their very own, typically very expensive drink at home. This stainless steel whisk truly has so many darn uses: Let your mouth water at the thought of cappuccinos, lattes, hot chocolate, matcha, milk shakes, and more.
34. A NYX setting spray to finish off their makeup. Humidity, sweat, tears: it's all irrelevant when they've topped their foundation with this magic stuff, which works to mattify makeup and prevent it from turning into a greasy mess.
35. A wall-mounted bottle opener for the new apartment renter who barely remembers to buy toilet paper. A beer bottle opener = one of those obvious things that they'll never really think to buy, but absolutely need.
36. A C.O. Bigelow night balm because beauty sleep is not a drill. This eight-hour recovery shea butter formula simply needs to be applied before hitting the hay — and by the time they're pressing snooze on their iPhone alarm, their lips will be totally moisturized.
37. Playing cards featuring gorgeous HP-inspired illustrations: the Sorting Hat, Hedwig, and Scabbers. **takes deep breath** There's also Fawkes, the Nimbus 2000, a Hungarian horntail dragon, the Knight Bus, and so much more!
38. A before-you-go Poo-Pourri toilet spray formulated with a concentrated blend of essential oils that will neutralize... funky bathroom odors. Yes, the kind that they cause. This is the kind of ~white elephant~ gift that they'll genuinely be happy to have received.
39. A dual-ended eyeliner stamp because, IN SPITE OF THEIR BEST EFFORTS, achieving the perfect cat eye is hard and this easy-to-use tool makes it about 1000x easier. All they'll have to do is apply the stamp to their lash line and their wing will be done in mere seconds. They won't even have to use/waste 10 makeup wipes and several years of their life in order to achieve it.
40. A Bed Head curling wand capable of doing the Impossible (yes, Impossible with a capital "I"). This miracle tool allows even the straightest of manes to hold the most beautiful beach waves: All they'll have to do is wrap their hair around the barrel, wait a few seconds, and that's it! It'll look as if they got their hair professionally done and they will be forever in your debt.
41. A TubShroom drain protector invented by a wizard to catch all the hair in their shower — the kind that would otherwise lead to clogs. Just think of this magic weapon as their new bathroom bodyguard and an easy way to avoid emergency phone calls with their plumber.
42. A scalp massager that will make them feel as if they're getting a professional shampoo from the ritziest salon in town. This is designed to stimulate their scalp and improve circulation, which is said to lead to speedier hair growth. (This is especially great to know if they got a two-inch trim last year and SURPRISE it's only grown one centimeter since.)
43. A wine stain remover for when their red, red wine refuses to stay close to them and instead decides to spill on their favorite TJ Maxx blanket. Tell them not to worry — it can be saved with just a spritz of this cleanser.
44. A Hair Dance powder dry shampoo especially great at vacuuming up grease and adding body sans any leftover chalky white residue. Pro tip: Tell them to add some into their roots before bed, and that they'll wake up with a completely refreshed scalp that looks like it was shampooed five minutes ago (...as opposed to five days ago).
45. A rechargeable portable blender great for anyone who is perpetually late and trying to get some sustenance on-the-go. All they'll have to do is dump in their favorite ingredients, press the blend button while walking to their car, and BAM! They've got themselves a delicious smoothie.
46. A matte Maybelline SuperStay liquid lipstick they can apply right before boarding an international flight — and it will still look great when they wake up on another continent. This magic stuff has a staying power of up to 16 hours, which means it must be the byproduct of some sort of sorcery. I know.
47. As Seen On TV storage bags perfect for anyone who purchases produce in bulk: These reusable babies keep food fresh for a longer period of time, meaning everything from bananas and strawberries to asparagus and romaine will stay ripe for up to nine additional days.
48. Silicone bookmarks because their green thumb may be nonexistent, but these little sprouts are an easy way to ~spruce~ up their life while noting their page in that thriller paperback they're reading.
49. A bottle of Mike's Hot Honey they'll never want to leave home without! This all-natural honey, chili pepper, and vinegar mixture adds the perfect touch of spicy and sweet to any meal. Thought pizza was already perfect? Add some of this on a slice and prepare for your taste buds to explode.
50. Hydrocolloid, tea tree, and calendula oil pimple patches they should slap on a zit to a) prevent picking, and b) speed up the ~draining~ process of said zit. Plus, these are transparent enough to wear while running errands without anyone in the world giving them a second glance.
51. A Milani primer capable of keeping their shadow and liner in tact all 👏 day 👏 long 👏. That's right, folks! No creasing, smudging, fallout, or crying under the watch of this vegan and cruelty-free must-have.
52. A 52-week guide to encourage a more positive and appreciative attitude (AKA = I need this). This self-exploration journal is packed with inspirational quotes and prompts that will have them jotting down what they're grateful for on a daily basis, making this the perfect dose of self-reflection to go along with their morning coffee.
53. A plant-derived BodyGlide anti-blister balm to prevent blisters (duh), as well as back-of-heel chafing that will inevitably turn into a painful, bloody mess sure to ruin both their shoes and their day.
54. Affresh dishwasher cleaning tablets because HOW can they get clean, glistening dishes if the dishwasher itself is *gag* covered in grime? Answer: They can't. These babies are here to help.
55. A non-slip Kiss silicone mat with heat resistance of up to 480°F to house their hair tools whilst still burning hot. This has especially descended from the heavens for people who spend their day worried about whether or not they turned off the flat iron before heading out for the day — even if they didn't, this nifty hunk of silicone will prevent any disasters.
56. A jade roller and gua sha set to give them the gift of an at-home facial massage. This facial duo is said to promote circulation, tighten skin, improve the effectiveness of their other skincare products, and help with lymphatic drainage to keep their face feeling glorious and de-puffed.
57. A toothpaste holder complete with a toothpaste squeezer to make sure they get every last minty drop of cleanliness trapped in that damn tube. (One reviewer even describes this as ingenious and TBH, they are not wrong.)
58. An O'Keeffe's cream to give their dry, callused piggies an intense dose of moisture. I get it: Boots season is here, the need for a pedicure is gone, but this is the perfect way to give their feet some much-needed TLC.
59. A formaldehyde-free Zoya polish designed with a wider brush, meaning they can disperse more polish onto their nail with just 👏 one 👏 stroke 👏. The brush also fans out a teeny bit, allowing for application onto the pesky corners of their nail.
60. Miracle-Gro food spikes they'll appreciate if they love plants, but a) weren't blessed with the advantage of a green thumb, and b) laziness is one of their defining features. These slowly release micronutrients into soil for up to two months, thus allowing their indoor plants to thrive.
61. An adjustable duster brush great for air conditioners, fans, and window blinds — because YES, those need to be cleaned on occasion (the amount of dust that can accumulate there is *cough* wild).
62. A cruelty-free EcoTools set packed with five brushes they'll use on the daily: an angled foundation brush, a concealer brush, an eyeshadow brush, an angled liner brush, and a blush brush. All for less than $10? HALLE- and I cannot stress this enough-LUJAH.
63. A four-sided cleaning brush so they can give their favorite suede booties some serious TLC (and make them look brand spankin' new). This magical tool allows scuff marks and salt stains to all but vanish into thin air.
