What a year! The holidays are finally here! And while we’re 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 retailers’ websites for shipping information to ensure that your gift will arrive in time for when you need it.
1. An infinity picture frame perfect for upgrading the display of their favorite photo or keepsake. Tip: Throw in your favorite photo of you and them or ticket stubs to a memorable concert before wrapping it for a more sentimental gift.
2. A Jurassic Park visual history book reviewers say is hands down the best gift to give anyone who has been a fan of Jurassic Park since the beginning.
3. A Dalí clock for a surrealist piece of decor reminiscent of Dalí's famous painting that creates the illusion of ~melting time~. It also blesses their home with a conversation piece.
4. A murder mystery puzzle book just begging to be unwrapped by your true crime-obsessed bestie. It's a whodunit book beautifully illustrated and packed with 20 mysterious cases ready to be solved 🕵🏽.
5. A tote for your dog-loving friend who may be your bestie, but their bestie will always be their pup.
6. A set of white quinoa, blush pink salt, and amaranth to treat them to a taste of Peru. Even after they've enjoyed the bounty, they'll be able to reuse the artisanal handwoven bags.
7. A screaming goat that'll shriek whenever they touch it, which is basically an outward display of their inner frustrations. So now when they feel stressed out and want to scream, Billy (which isn't actually its name but seems like it fits) can scream for them.
8. A comfy ring wrapped in their favorite comic character so they can continuously support their masked hero.
9. A ranch dressing ornament because they put it on everything so they might as well put it on their tree, too.
10. A Beverly Hills 90210 box set for your '90s friends who devoured every bit of drama that unfolded in these 293 episodes. It's also a great gift for people who never watched the show but wish they did or teens who are super into throwback shows right now. I'm sure there will be a 90210 dance challenge soon.
11. A playful strawberry or orange juice planter that'll add some charming personality to their kitchen or living room table.
12. A scratch-off movies bucket list poster for the film lover who claims they've seen every movie worth seeing. It's a great chance for them to discover a new film or revisit some of their favorites. When every movie is seen, they can frame it and add it to their wall decor.
13. Or, a top 100 anime films scratch off poster because they've been wanting to get into anime but have no clue on where to start.
14. An original Tamagotchi — a nostalgic toy that'll take their mind off of their adulting day. Remember when we'd have three on a keychain, trying to raise them all at one time? *sigh* Simpler times.
15. A pack of stash scrunchies complete with a secret compartment that they can use to hold loose cash, a lip balm, and a few bobby pins in a safe and secure way.
16. A portable charger reviewers say charges super fast. And, it has extra ports so they can share their charge with you at the next meetup. Not to mention they come in such gorgeous colors.
17. A 1,000-piece Care Bears jigsaw puzzle because you care about your friend and ~caring is what counts~.
18. A 3D-effect essential-oil-diffusing LED light — a waterless diffuser that changes into seven different colors that's just as effective as it is mesmerizing 😵💫.
19. A Bridgerton-inspired cookbook featuring recipes inspired by Netflix's most watched original series including the Duke's favorite — gooseberry pie. They'll be able to dine like lords and ladies with 100 recipes sure to be the talk of the season.
20. A pinky promise print to gussy up their walls with the promise of your friendship, always and forever.
21. A Bluetooth tracker because sometimes they can barely remember what day it is let alone where they left their phone. They can put this tracker on anything to never be lost again.
22. A Gilmore Girls–inspired teapot so they can pretend they're running their own bed-and-breakfast each time they sit down for a spot of tea.
23. A modern acrylic vase you can give them with their favorite flower. A simple yet exquisite design, every time they drop in a new floral arrangement they'll think of you.
24. A small but mighty portable mini Bluetooth speaker they can slide into their bag or clip onto their bag to elevate their next lunch break in the park.
25. Or, an LG portable wireless speaker for the friend worth the splurge who's always ready to dance it out. The speaker is omnidirectional and fills the space with sound. It's the perfect gift for the friend who is always the life of the party.
26. An Apple Watch stand that'll remind them of the good ol' days aka the '90s. You can insert your apple watch so it can display all of your info when you're not wearing it, and it'll charge it at the same time.
27. A DIY neon-style sign kit, a completely unnecessary item that'll light up their holiday, literally. It comes with up to 9 feet of bendable light-up wire that can also be a gift for a hard-to-please teen.
28. An Echo Auto to take their true bestie, Alexa, on the road with them. They can have Alexa play music, check the news, add notes to their to-do lists, make calls, and more, taking their ~hands-free~ power to the next level.
29. A space pen that can write underwater. That's it, that's the explanation on why this is an amazing gift. Sure, I don't know exactly why they waited until being in a pool to do their work, but to each their own. It can also write in extreme temperatures, zero gravity, and at an angle. So basically, if they're a secret spy, this pen is just their type.
30. A pair of wall-mounted rainy pots that'll rain over their plants keeping them nice and hydrated.
31. A deck of black foil playing cards sure to make the next game of speed ridiculously difficult.
32. Weird Parenting Wins, a realistic and funny book filled with honest parenting hacks from how to get your kids to tell the truth to discovering "The Art of Getting Your Kid to Act Like a Person." It's basically a book of cheat codes for parents trying to beat the next level of parenting.
33. A caffeinated butt mask ideal for the ones looking for total body care. Now they can take care of their derriere. Hey, I made a rhyme.
34. A guided questions journal in case they've wanted to incorporate more mindfulness into their life but claim they're so busy. With this guided journal, all they need is two minutes a day.
