    51 Gifts To Give Yourself If Your Secret Santa Failed You

    Give yourself the gift of...something you *actually* want. 🎁

    1. pair of Apple AirPods Pro with noise cancellation so you'll be able to listen to your music/podcast/audiobook with crystal clear sound (and without interruption). They come with three sizes of silicone tips to comfortably fit your ears and a charging case that provides more than 24 hours of listening time.

    Promising review: "I’m thrilled. I love the fact there’s 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 don’t have to crank my volume up to drown them out. The controls are easy. It pauses music when I take an earbud out, so I’m not fumbling to pause and then yanking an earbud out while yelling 'what?' I’ve never spent this much on headphones but these are worth the sub-$200 I paid." —Pixie

    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 AirPods Pro here!

    Get them from Amazon for $179.

    2. A pair of classic Dr. Martens leather lace up boots that'll never go out of style. And, since you're playing Santa for yourself this year, why not have a pair of sturdy boots at the ready?

    3. A mini bar cart to impress your friends with all of the natural wines you're now an expert on (after going to, like, one tasting).

    6. A pair of FP Movement high-rise leggings that are opaque enough to pass the famous "squat test." 🍑 They're also made of moisture-wicking fabric to keep you from feeling like a sweaty mess while you're working out, and I personally *love* the little ruching detail at the ankles.

    7. A tartan blanket scarf to wrap yourself in whenever the weather outside is frightful but you still want to look cute.
