Hey! While we’re doing our best to make sure the products we feature will arrive in time for Christmas, shipping times are especially tricky this year and can vary depending on where you live, which product you purchase, and more. Shop early and be sure to double-check the retailers’ websites for shipping information to ensure that your gift will arrive in time for the 25th!
1. A pair of in-your-face combat boots for the friend who doesn't step around slush puddles, but stomps right on through 'em.
2. An enameled Dutch oven from the cooking and crafting queen herself, Martha Stewart. The 4-quart beauty will inspire your own foodie to whip up stews, casseroles, and whatever viral dishes surface on their TikTok feed.
3. A pair of Apple AirPods Pro ready to play hours and hours of whatever it is your giftee enjoys most. The accompanying charging case delivers 24 full hours of playtime, or — if your mind works like mine — enough juice to play the entirety of Dua Lipa's Future Nostalgia 38 times.
4. A cheese-making kit for the friend whose food pyramid is made up of cheddar, gouda, brie, mozzarella, and feta. Are they also lactose intolerant? Most definitely. But we all want what we can't have.
5. A good ol' game of Cat-Opoly for the board game nerd who's also o.b.s.e.s.s.e.d. with their cat. The game works like classic Monopoly except properties are out and rare breeds (see: abyssinians, tonkineses, and Turkish vans) are in.
6. A pair of cozy Adidas joggers in case your roommate/live-in partner needs a more obvious hint that they should wear pants when you have guests over.
7. A self-watering planter for the succulent lover who can barely down enough H2O themselves. The felt tongues suck up ~just~ enough water for plants to thrive and once they've outgrown their adorable lil' pots, they can be replanted.
8. A pair of Ugg slippers, because outdoor shoes are so 2019 and fluffy footwear never disappoints – just ask Gigi Hadid, Selena Gomez, Cardi B, and every other celeb who owns these bad boys.
9. A set of sloth picture hangers so they can string up all of your best selfies. You know, the ones where they're positively glowing and your eyes are totally closed. 🙃
10. A midi-length coat with the power to transform any tired wardrobe. It'll go with literally anything but if your friend has a penchant for Dr. Martens...it'll really outdo itself.
11. A host-your-own escape room game so for a moment, your giftee can forget they've *actually* been trapped in their own home for the last nine months.
12. A mini llama waffle maker because it's just too dang cute, you know?? And in the words of Leslie Knope, “We need to remember what's important in life: friends, waffles, work. Or waffles, friends, work. Doesn't matter, but work is third.”
13. A five-pack of Tony Moly sheet masks made to address a series of skin woes from dryness to dullness. A facial is v, v expensive, but this five-piece set is not!
14. A blanket wrap for the loved one who is always cold and insists on touching you with their frigid feet just to prove it. (It's me — I'm that person.)
15. A meat-and-cheese set from Harry & David because when all else fails, adult Lunchables are where it's at. Plus, you can count on them for a charcuterie board at your next game night.
16. A Froot Loop-scented candle that will both delight and confuse. Since the soy candle comes in a real cereal bowl with a real spoon, it's quite the conversation starter.
17. A beginner's matcha set because you know your bestie spends a small fortune at Starbucks (case in point: the 27 empty venti cups rolling around their passenger seat floor).
18. A soil-less AeroGarden so your recipient can cultivate their very own countertop plot. If they've been known to neglect a plant or two, they'll also appreciate that the unit reminds them when to water and feed their herbs!
19. A cold brew coffee maker destined to make pitchers and pitchers of caffeine-laced, concentrated goodness. A single carafe makes 1.7 liters of cold brew, so once mixed with their choice of water or milk, they'll nearly a week's worth of java.
20. An UNO deck that'll impress your artsiest friend with its iconic Keith Haring designs. The game is the same, just jazzed up with some '80s-inspired graffiti.
21. A 2-quart electric air fryer capable of making a bloomin' onion to rival Outback's. This is a journey I've personally been on, but if your friend is looking to recreate any fast food greats (sans a vat of oil), this right here will get it done.
22. A Sharper Image aromatherapy wrap that'll soothe muscle pain with its natural lavender, spearmint, and chamomile mix. If your friend has terrible posture thanks to working on their laptop from bed, this'll come in clutch.
23. A 3-quart beer tower so your IPA-loving companion can kick back like they're at their favorite biergarten. To really round out the experience, consider throwing in some jumbo soft pretzels and spicy mustard.
24. A portable Bluetooth speaker capable of turning their shower into an EDM-fueled dance party. For just a moment, they'll forget they're in Cleveland and not at the Electric Daisy Carnival.
25. A pair of crisp Reebok kicks sure to become their footwear of choice. If they've run their Stan Smiths into the ground, these will be much appreciated.
26. And pair of otter ornaments because ever since you found out that they sleep holding hands, just thinking about it makes you tear up and same goes for thinking about being apart from your long-distance BFF.
