We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
1. No-show socks that won't peek out over the top of your lace-up sneakers. PLUS! These comfy bad boys have a silicone backing on your heel, meaning no 👏 more 👏 slipping 👏 socks 👏.
2. A before-you-go toilet spray formulated with a concentrated blend of essential oils that will neutralize... funky bathroom odors. Yes, the kind that you cause.
3. Soapstone stones that will keep your whiskey on the rocks ice cold without any water dilution, which traditionally happens when you dump ice cubes into your glass.
4. A lightning cable designed with braided nylon, meaning it won't begin to fray and break after approximately .5 seconds of use. It makes you wonder if a heaven filled with destroyed phone chargers exists..
5. A moon-inspired PopSocket you won't want to bring near the ocean. Imagine you're there, taking Instagram pictures on your phone, and all of a sudden the tides begin to change? You'd feel so awkward.
6. 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.
7. A passport case complete with card, boarding pass, and pen slots! This is ideal for the friend who loves to travel, but is also laughably unorganized. (In other words, me.)
8. Reusable chopsticks for the pal who would likely eat sushi for breakfast, lunch, and dinner if it weren't for the inconvenient possibility of mercury poisoning.
9. Microfiber cloths ideal for glasses, jewelry, camera lenses, smartphones, tablets, TV screens... the list goes on and on. Looking to clear off those fingerprints on your iPhone? Here's your answer.
10. Sheet masks to revitalize dull and tired skin, because heaven knows that eggnog, stress, and "cookies for Santa but I'll eat them myself" tends to wreak havoc on your complexion.
11. Plush-lined mittens that you can totally pass off as a homemade present. "OMG! Did you knit these yourself?" "YES, I did! Took me forever, but totally worth it!"
12. A cast iron snuffer for the candle connoisseur in your life who lives and breathes the Bath & Body works semi-annual sale. This nifty tool quickly puts out a flame without getting soot on the walls!
13. A satin pillowcase because beauty sleep is no joke, and this will actually keep your mane tamed whilst you snooze the night away. Seriously! This will prevent your hair from tangling and snagging.
14. A wannabe intellectual watercolor hair brush likely to say "oh what a tangled mane we fix." This detangling tool works on wet and dry hair, gets knots out in a jiffy, and won't cause any breakage in the process. YIPPEE!
15. A checklist notepad to list all 708 things that need to be done today, of which only three will actually be completed. But hey! At least they were all written down!
16. A polish remover that won't destroy your poor, defenseless, already-pretty-darn-weak nails. Dare I say, this gentle formula will actually condition and prep 'em for a fresh coat of lacquer.
17. A wine stain remover for when your red, red wine refuses to stay close to you and instead decides to spill on your favorite TJ Maxx blanket. Don't worry — it can be saved.
18. Vegan and cruelty-free deodorant wipes formulated with coconut milk, witch hazel, and shea butter to block out all Pepé Le Pew-level odors.
19. Reusable silicone food huggers that keep produce fresher for a longer period of time. This means you can eat half a pomegranate, save the rest for later, and it won't be gross by the time you're ready to eat it!
20. A tiny trinket dish ideal for storing bobby pins! Maybe having something like this will inspire us long-haired youths to actually put our hair accessories back where they belong.
21. Adhesive cable clips to keep your home office clutter-free. These will prevent alllllll the your cords from tangling with one another, eventually becoming a spider web mess that you'll never be able to fix.
22. A microfiber hair towel to keep your sopping wet 'do out of sight, out of mind from the moment you step out of your shower until... well, forever. Who has the energy to dry their hair anymore, am I right?
23. Non-slip socks for the friend you'd likely attend a wine tour with, both of you ~pretending~ to be able to tell the differences between dry notes and fruity flavors. Wine is wine, people.
24. A makeup brush set complete with all the tools necessary to turn into a beauty blogging professional overnight. *uploads a ~natural~ makeup tutorial because I truly don't know how to contour*
25. A lavender mint spray for the dedicated fitness fiend who swears by hot yoga. You know the thing about hot yoga though? Extreme sweat. This spray = the only thing that will keep their mat from getting stinky.
26. Lightweight headphones with a portable folding design, meaning these music players will fit perfectly into both their purse and their stocking.
27. A luxury hand cream infused with vitamins e and c to provide the best gift you can give this winter: MOISTURE! Plus, this contains the calming scents of lavender and espresso AKA smells good enough to devour.
28. Iridescent, reusable stainless steel straws currently on a mission to save the environment, one less one-use plastic straw at a time.
29. A clip-on book light that I wish I had owned in middle school, when my parents insisted I go to bed but I was too invested in reading The Clique books to care.
30. A paraben-free moisturizing lipstick for long-lasting hydration that even the windy, frigid, "chapped lip season" winter weather won't be able to destroy.
31. Facial wipes that will remove makeup, cleanse your skin, and leave you feeling extremely refreshed — all with one swipe! You'll want to thank the aloe and cucumber ingredients for that.
32. A lined notebook any lama lover would be overjoyed to receive. Will you want to keep this for yourself instead of giving it to a friend? It's very likely.
33. A desktop heater so that their coffee remains hot to the last drop. What's more frustrating than a parking ticket? Having to sip on lukewarm beverages that are supposed to be warming your soul.
34. Rosie the Riveter bandages to cover up that painful paper cut of yours with an awesome piece of history.
Me, receiving gifts that I'll actually use:
