1. A Star Wars-inspired LED light that basically looks like a hologram fallen from the future. This comes with three glass inserts (R2-D2, Death Star, and Millennium Falcon) as well as a remote control to adjust brightness and change the light into one of seven color options. And all for less than $20? Pinch me.
2. A linen toiletry bag because their purse is always a mess and their makeup is constantly strewn about, so this is the perfect gift to both help them stay organized *and* be reminded of you whenever they reach for a lipstick.
3. A silicone AirPods case for the pal who loves the holidays, if by "the holidays" you mean Halloween. These pumpkin and glow-in-the-dark designs will have 'em feeling like it's spooky season all year round.
4. A Bodum pour over coffee maker here to turn you into a complete caffeine snob. This heat-resistant borosilicate glass carafe is designed with a permanent filter that makes a smooth serving of Joe, is dishwasher-safe, and can make up to eight cups at a time.
5. A copy of Thank You for Being a Friend, the ultimate gift for any Blanche, Rose, Sophia, and Dorothy super fan. This must-have book is packed with fun illustrations, important life advice, midnight snack recipes, and (of course) a generous helping of wit.
6. A DIY mask kit that will have them whipping up their own skincare routine in no time: a mixing bowl, gauges, a sponge, a brush, a spray bottle, and a small storage jar are all included! This even comes with an application spatula so they can easily apply their homemade product without getting their hands dirty.
7. A Cadbury box packed with ten full-sized chocolate bars. The best gifts IMO are ones that are edible, and what better an edible gift than this delicious UK treat?
8. A charcuterie board set because we may not know how to properly pronounce the word charcuterie, but we DO know we love cheese. This comes with five stainless steel knifes and a clever bamboo board designed with a hidden storage compartment that will look so lovely for the one second that their brie actually stays on display before being devoured.
9. A Gringotts Bank so they can store their galleons and sickles, all of which they'll want to save for a rainy day *or* their next Diagon Alley shopping spree.
10. 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.
11. A WeRateDogs 2020 day-to-day calendar featuring just about the only thing that will prevent them from snoozing through their alarm every morning: a dog. Each day features a new four-legged doggo and a fun little fact about said doggo. *dies of happiness*
12. A hand cranked music box for anyone who would much rather be living in Paris, thank you very much. Adorned with illustrations of the Eiffel Tower and designed to play the main melody from Amélie, this feels almost as majestic as eating a baguette outside of the Louvre.
13. An oversized faux shearling jacket so soft, they'll basically feel as if they're wearing a combination of their favorite blanket and most cuddly teddy bear. Comfortable + super on-trend = all they want this holiday season.
14. A bib necklace that has the ability to dress up any plain outfit. From wrinkled white tees and their favorite LBD, this statement accessory will quickly become their new favorite piece of "I actually spent time getting ready!" flair.
15. A blank comic book to let their creativity go bananas. For the chronic doodler or enthusiastic storyteller, this under-$10 present will be the pièce de résistance of their entire holiday season.
16. A Truff hot sauce for a hint of delicious bougie to any meal they consume. This blend of white truffle, ripe chilli pepper, and organic agave nectar adds extra flavor to anything, from pizza to their morning breakfast sandwich. (It's even loved by Queen Oprah herself — it was on her list of favorite things this year.)
17. A one-line-a-day journal that recognizes they *may* be too busy to jot down their entire life story on the daily, but it also encourages them to sum up their day with just a line or two for five years...
18. A create-a-set book collection consisting of weathered and used copies that will be curated according to color scheme, therefore turning their shelves into a sea of thoughtfully curated books that they *wink* came up with all by themselves.
19. Bocce's Bakery treats because your four-legged friend deserves nothing but the damn best! These all-natural, wheat-free treats are packed with peanut butter, molasses, and vanilla AKA are extremely delicious and probably the only thing they'll want in their stocking this year.
20. A fancy Scrabble game for the competitive pal who always suggests game night (*cue frustrated sigh*). The best part about this particular version? It's surprisingly compact and portable — the wood case closes for storage and can neatly fit all miscellaneous pieces inside.
21. A magnetic dress-up set because Einstein + Daisy duke shorts on their fridge = the only conversation piece I would personally like to receive this holiday season.
22. A whiskey glass for anyone who has still not emotionally recuperated from the absolute emotional rollercoaster that was the Game of Thrones series finale.
23. A pendant necklace designed with a brass compass pointing in the direction of your shopping cart. Will you *actually* give this as a gift? Of course! You just want to try it on first, wear it for a few months, make sure it's good enough to gift, etc.
24. A passport wallet complete with boarding pass and card slots for the friend who has a @wanderlust Instagram account that is the envy of your friend group. (Dear friend, please take me to Paris with you?)
25. A 25th anniversary edition of Friends Forever, their new one-stop shop to behind-the-scenes tidbits and fun facts about their favorite show (as evident by the fact that they watch it daily and are able to quote every single episode).
26. Statement chandelier earrings they'll be able to don for every single ~fancy schmancy~ event they plan on attending in the foreseeable future.
27. A Torani pumpkin pie sauce because PSL season is fantastic, but fleeting (and requires leaving the house). Fro now on, they can top off their morning cup of caffeine with this delicious treat and avoid having to change out of their pajamas.
28. A marble lap desk designed with a device ledge, phone holder, and mouse pad to turn their bed into a fully-functional home office. It's even equipped with a bottom cushion so it feels super comfortable all day long, even if they plan on being on their computer for a ridiculous amount of hours.
29. Handmade mineral soaps available in all 12 birthstones, each gorgeous hunk complete with a unique scent and quality ingredients (this includes vitamin e, which will provide their skin with a hefty dose of hydration).
30. Smoko corgi slippers that are not only adorable (*sprinkles emphasis on the adorable*), but also have a USB plug-in option to keep their tootsies nice and warm. Heated slippers! That looks like dogs! What more could they want?
31. A playing card set complete with some of the most badass women throughout history, including icons like Wilma Rudolph and Sacagawea. (It should be noted that the cards themselves are also beautifully illustrated by artist Zeb Wahls, so I wouldn't blame them if they opted for framing this deck instead of playing it.)
32. Terracotta planters here to take their hand and guide them into the world of green thumbs and succulents. If they discover that they are just not meant to have greenery inside their home, no worries! These multi-purpose pots can serve as everything from makeup brush storage to cotton swab holders. The possibilities = endless.
33. A pack of photo stickers featuring the apple of their eye: the pet of the house. Sure, you can get customized stickers of yourself! But something tells me they’d prefer adding a picture of their dachshund to the surface of her laptop in lieu of your selfie.
34. Penguin-shaped tea bags to transform their morning earl grey ritual into something that demands to be photographed for the 'gram. Get ready for some serious snap, filter, post action.
35. Harry Potter: A Pop-Up Guide to Hogwarts — in other words, all I want for the holidays this year. This gorgeously illustrated pop-up book will make them feel as if they're walking through campus. Broom in one hand, to-go pumpkin juice in the other.
36. A Tony Moly box set that comes complete with two sheet masks and hand creams, both formulated with an impressive blend of green tea essence to moisture, refresh, and brighten their skin when it's in need of some extra TLC.
37. A grumpy Smoko neck pillow so soft and cuddly, not even airplane turbulence will disturb them from their deep slumber. It even has an internal rechargeable battery that, with just one click, activates immediate heat.
38. A gorgeous Venus et Fleur arrangement featuring a single rose that will last 👏 all 👏 year 👏 long 👏. You may want to get this for the pal who prefers fresh bouquets to just about everything else.
39. A trinket plate sure to have mom tearing up as soon as she carefully tears open the wrapping paper. This little piece of ceramic decor is also available with several different phrases,
40. A fleece throw blanket that any Bob's Burgers fan will treasure from now until forever. Not only is the image itself super clear and detailed, but the fabric is also *chef kisses fingers* ultra soft and cozy.
41. A ribbed pom-pom beanie to keep their noggin warm. I'm not sure what possessed them to move to a city in which the weather can best be described as "my face hurts", but at least this cozy accessory will prevent them from completely freezing.
42. A cocktail book packed with libations inspired by the one, the only Downton Abbey. Each recipe is sprinkled with historical facts and quotes from the show, all while grooming your best friend to become the official mixologist of every pregame from here on out.
43. A hand-crocheted flamingo dog toy made from an organic cotton so gorgeous, I basically will never want this to come in contact with my dog or his teeth. I have actually decided to purchase this with the intent of displaying it on my bookshelf.
44. A spy science kit for children (and adults...) aiming to become the next Harriet the Spy. This includes eight crime-solving activities that will make you feel like you just walked off the set of CSI.
45. Aimee Song: World of Style, a book packed with so much travel and style inspo, they may need to sit down and take a deep breath after every page. This gorgeous book contains blogger Aimee Song's favorite looks worn around the 🌍, making it the perfect present for the fashion and travel lover in your life.
