What a year! The holidays are finally here! And while weāre doing our best to make sure the products we feature will arrive in time, shipping times are especially tricky this year, so we suggest shopping as early as you can.
Stock and shipping times can vary depending on where you live, which product you purchase, and more. So order earlier than you think you need to and be sure to double-check the retailersā websites for shipping information to ensure that your gift will arrive in time for when you need it.
1. A sleek serving tray that looks way more expensive than it is, but will make them feel so glamorous every time they use it to present breakfast (to themselves).
2. A Trtl neck pillowĀ that'll actually prevent them from awkwardly dozing off on their flight neighbor's shoulder when they can't score a first-class ticket. Plus, it'll double as a scarf (planes be COLD), and it's way less bulky than those puffy U-shaped pillows.
Promising review: "This thing is the greatest thing invented since chicken and biscuits. It's like a nice scarf with just enough support to keep your neck just in the right position. I highly recommend it. Works great with big headphones, too." āDeana Hero
Get it from Amazon forĀ $29.99+ (available in four colors).
Shipping info:Ā Available onĀ Amazon PrimeĀ with two-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping informationĀ here).
3. Plus, aĀ pair of Apple AirPods ProĀ with noise cancellation to keep them from losing their mind every time their flight neighbor alternates between chomping down on pretzels and snoring. They come with three sizes of silicone tips to comfortably fit their ears and a charging case that provides more than 24 hours of listening time.
Promising review: "Iām thrilled. I love the fact thereās multiple ear tips and the small ones fit my ears great. Thrilled with the noise canceling feature while I stare at a family member yapping loudly on the phone and I donāt have to crank my volume up to drown them out. The controls are easy. It pauses music when I take an earbud out, so Iām not fumbling to pause and then yanking an earbud out while yelling 'what?' Iāve never spent this much on headphones but these are worth the sub-$200 I paid." āPixie
And here's more from BuzzFeed Shopping editor Emma Lord: "I have a pair of these, and they're not playing around. Once they're securely in your ear, you can toggle the headphones between noise-cancelling and regular sound, depending on your situation. I've been working from home, and the noise cancelling is so effective that I can work next to a window where my neighbor is doing heavy construction and I don't hear anything louder than a faint buzzing. It's quieter than if I'd just plugged my ears with my own fingers. I'm also a runner, and these don't budge when you're sweating, which is nice. It's also handy that these toggle out of noise cancellation mode, because I feel better being able to hear traffic and other people around me when I'm out and about. The TL;DR is I love these so much I have zero interest in owning another pair of headphones for as long as I live." Read her full review of the AirPod Pros here!

4. And, an in-flight foot hammock that might seem a little *extra* at first, but will make their travels SO much more comfortable.
5. A leather passport and vaccination card holder, because if there are two things they don't want to be without while jet-setting, it's those.
6. A deep-tissue massage gun to work out all those kinks they developed during their last doubles tournament.
7. A mini bar cart to impress their friends with all of the natural wines they're now experts on (after going to, like, one tasting).
8. And, a Firstleaf subscription so they can sample new wines to display on said bar cart. They'll take a short quiz about their wine preferences (I did it, it's fun!), and start receiving bottles that are tailored to their (very particular) tastes. The more wines they try and rate, the more accurate future wine recommendations will be!
9. A sunrise-simulating alarm clock to help them wake up on the right side of the bed, even when they can't get their full beauty rest in.
10. A pudding-like matcha antioxidant moisturizer that's so creamy and luscious, they'll be tempted to eat it for dessert (tell them to stick to their fancy macarons).
11. A lovely macramƩ plant hanger to introduce some greenery into their home, even if they would never dream of getting their hands dirty while gardening. Fill it with some realistic-looking faux plants and no one will be the wiser!
12. Some ridiculously beautiful Porter Seal-Tight Glass Containers that will actually convince them that food storage containers can, in fact, be stylish.
13. A luxurious silk eye mask to help them get some first-rate shut-eye.
14. And, a soft silk pillowcase to protect their hair and skin while they get their eight-plus hours of slumber.
15. A seriously sexy wine-chilling bucket to keep their prized bottles of Dom Perignon crisp and cool for up to two hours.
16. A minimalist organic cotton robe they can lounge in while they peruse the newest Rolex collection.
17. A handy little knife sharpener to keep the high-end knife set they immediately purchased after watching Jiro Dreams of Sushi impeccably pointy.
18. A handheld milk frother so they can whip up all of the fancy foam creations of their dreams without having to subject themselves to (gasp!) a Starbucks line.
19. A foot-massaging machine with a heat function to give them a truly best-in-class foot-pampering experience.
20. A pretty rose quartz roller they can massage their face with as they unwind after a long day of updating their Google doc of all the Michelin-starred restaurants they've been to.
21. A gorgeous set of assorted chai packaged in swanky gold tins so they'll feel like the royalty they (think) they are every time they brew a cup. PS: This set was curated by queen Oprah herself!
22. A pair of ultra-plush faux-fur slippers that'll feel like heaven for their feet, even when their cashmere socks are at the dry-cleaner.
23. A set of diamond-shaped glass tumblers that pay tribute to their favorite gemstone. Not only will they love the elegant design, they'll be pleased as punch to learn that the shape of these glasses actually helps to aerate beverages as they're poured.
24. A set of marble salt and pepper bowls, because if there's one concept that sums up their worldview, it's "elevating the everyday." They'll appreciate the chic, minimalist design, which looks so much more luxe than the reasonable price tag would let on.
25. A pair of bedazzled safety pin earrings that strike juuust the right balance between understated and blingy.
26. Some truffle-infused hot sauce that's sure to satisfy their gourmand-level palate.
27. And, a Mike's Hot Honey gift basket filled with all sorts of gourmet goodies, like a bottle of chili-infused honey, spicy salami, candied pecans, sea salt crackers, and dijon mustard ā aka, the makings of the bougiest charcuterie board ever.
28. A sparkly iPad case to protect their tablet from getting scratched up while they're globetrotting. It also folds up to act as a little stand, so they can prop their iPad up on their tray table for easy reading and streaming.
29. A sleek fountain pen, because the very idea that they would ever write with anything even remotely resembling a ballpoint is simply ludicrous.
30. A marble mortar and pestle set, because they recently took a private cooking class and told you they'll only allow freshly ground spices in their kitchen from now on.
