Hey! While we’re doing our best to make sure the products we feature will arrive in time for Christmas, shipping times are tricky 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 lug sole Rothy's utility boots knit with supremely comfortable merino wool that's freaking WASHABLE!!! The second they get ~funky,~ your giftee can just pop out the insoles and toss the whole dang boot into the washing machine for a refresh.
2. The I Love Trader Joe's Cookbook with 150 different recipes that incorporate ~delish~ ingredients from the World's Best Grocery Store™
3. A pound of cereal marshmallows if they're really only buying Lucky Charms for the charms (duh) and tossing away the rest. 😬
The delish treats come from Medley Hills Farm — a family-owned and operated small business based in Ohio.
Promising review: "Amazing! I put them in hot chocolate, Rice Krispies treats, other cereals, or just eat then by the handful. Impulse buy that totally worked out." —Maddison Helsel
Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with 1-day shipping. Non-Prime shipping options will still arrive before Christmas (see Amazon’s full shipping information here).
Get it from Amazon for $11.60.
4. A Diptyque perfume-infused bracelet that'll keep them smelling like a million bucks all day long. If they often forget to spritz themselves but *do* remember to put on jewelry then this is just the answer. All they have to do it snip a bit of fragranced rope (it unfurls from its case like Hubba Bubba gum), wrap it around their wrist, and secure it with the included clasp.
The scent — Tao Dao — includes notes of wood, velvet, and lightly spiced sandalwood. Check out exactly how it works by watching this TikTok!
Shipping info: Standard delivery (3–7 business days) is complimentary for all orders. Express Shipping (1- or 3-day shipping) is available at checkout for an additional fee. See Diptyque Paris' full shipping policy here.
Get it from Diptyque Paris for $90.
5. A pair of prism spectacles for the loved one who always has a boatload of work to get done but just can't drag themselves out of bed... Now, they can still clock in or finish that essay they've been dragging their feet on without even sitting upright.
6. An as-seen-on-Shark-Tank seat gap filler they can pop in their center console to ensure they never drop another french fry, phone, or credit card into that evil little crevice!!!
Check it out on TikTok here!
Promising review: "I have to admit, my expectations weren't very high. I thought it was more of a joke when my husband got this for me for Christmas. Little did I realize it would be one of my most favorite gadgets ever! I don't know if I realized just how many things went missing in my seat gap. It has really saved a lot of things from disappearing into that black hole. It was easy enough to fit into my car and it's soft! It's just like an extension of my seat, except it fits every curve of my seat! There really isn't another product that compares to this. That's why I gave it 5 stars!" —Tessa Forbes

7. 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.
8. A liquid-, stain-, and odor-repelling classic tee for the friend who — bless their heart — can't wear white without wearing their meal.
9. A full-body bath pillow so they can roll off of their regular mattress and onto their submerged mattress. Not gonna lie, the second time I used this, I did fall back asleep.
The pillow grips to their tub via 21 nonslip suction cups and let me tell you — they don't play around. The first time I used mine, I actually had to put my back into getting one of them to let go. That's not a complaint in the slightest, though, as it didn't move an inch during my hour-long bath! It also comes with a mesh storage/wash bag which I really appreciate.
Promising review: "I can take a relaxing bath now! I have always loved the idea of baths but whenever I'd take one, I always was uncomfortable and just decided they were overrated. Saw this and randomly bought it... ended up spending way too long in the bath. Only got out because of responsibilities... Within a couple of minutes of bath draining, I reached for it I thought and I thought, 'Here comes the reason I'll end up never using this again...' I got back in the tub and took my towel off, expecting to just use my whole naked body to squeeze this thing out... I lifted it up and... what the heck?! It was so light! Hardly anything squeezed out! That was the best part." —Nic

Get it from Amazon for $45.85.
10. A veggie peeler shaped like a gigantic pencil sharpener because while your giftee may be in their 20s or 30s now, this silly gadget will be one of the only things capable of convincing them to eat carrots.
Check it out on TikTok here!
Promising review: "Silly gadget, but my son LOVES carrots and recently discovered the joy of cooking. He’s been perfecting carrot roses and now is willing to eat salads! Worth the money for that alone. I like the leaker side. I hate all the peelers I’ve ever bought because they fall apart while using. This one works and stays together pretty well." —Kristin
Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime. Non-Prime shipping options will still arrive before Christmas (see Amazon’s full shipping information here).
Get it from Amazon for $14.75+ (available in packs of one or two).
11. A giant Lego storage drawer they can use to house whatever knickknacks have taken over every surface of their home. Heck, you could even get a few so they can stack them into a dresser, desk, or coffee table!
Check it out on TikTok here!
Promising review: "LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, this storage container! My son got a 1,500-piece Lego set for Christmas and this fits all of the pieces nicely! Definitely recommend." —Amazon Customer
Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with 1-day shipping. Non-Prime shipping options will still arrive before Christmas (see Amazon’s full shipping information here).
Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in two sizes and 11 colors).
12. A shower beer and wine holder because sometimes, a bath bomb just isn't enough. Real ones know that true R&R involves a chilled glass of sickly sweet Barefoot attached securely to your shower wall — not perched precariously on the lip of your tub, so why not give your friend that precious gift?
13. A two-tier pistachio pedestal designed to give the king of nuts the respect they deserve.
The upper tier of the solid wood design holds 8 ounces of pistachios and the pieces come apart for easy cleaning. To keep the maple in tip-top shape, the seller advises giving it a once-over with mineral oil or beeswax wood conditioner every few months.
Promising review: "The Pistachio Pedestal is my 'go-to' present for my hard-to-gift family and friends. It's handsome as well as functional, and it never fails to get compliments when it's out on a table. I love the craftsmanship and two-level design, and it makes cleaning up the empty shells a breeze. It's also a great container for snacking on other types of nuts, or edamame (soy bean pods), too! I have one myself, and I've given this to others multiple times, and it's always appreciated and well-used. A winner!" —Early Bird
Shipping info: Economy, standard, expedited, and express (1–2 business days) shipping options are offered.
Get it from Uncommon Goods for $50.
14. A Hackwith Design House shirt that can be worn ~six~ different ways so your jetsetting bestie doesn't have to lug around a large checked bag or wear the same exact outfit every day.
Hackwith Design House is a woman-owned small business. Their sustainable designs are made to order and sewn in their Minnesota studio. Their sizes run from XS–4X. On Mondays, they also release limited-edition designs so you can be one of only 25 people to own a piece!
I have this shirt and I *love* it. All credit for its discovery goes to TikToker @jennifer.bianca who I happened to stumble across on my FYP. It checks all my boxes: black, comfortable, versatile, and durable. My initial worry was that I wouldn't feel secure in it (I have a 38DDD chest and most wrap tops/dresses I've tried haven't stayed where they're supposed to), but I haven't had an issue with this! I've worn it tied in the front giving me a square neck (like the middle picture) and tied in the back giving me a V-neck up front (just like the photo on the right) — both were super comfortable and I didn't have to adjust myself at all. As someone whose weight fluctuates, I also appreciate that this piece can handle pounds gained and lost. The fabric is medium weight so I'll be wearing it season to season and there's just enough elasticity in the arms that if you roll up your sleeves, they won't fall back down. All that is to say trust that I will be buying additional colors!
Shipping info: Products are made to order so expect 2–10 days for an order ship. Domestic orders ship via USPS Priority Mail while international ships via USPS First Class International. Rush shipping (1–2 days) is available within the U.S. See Hackwith Design House's full shipping policy here.
Get it from Hackwith Design House for $145 (available in women's sizes XS–4X and in five colors).
15. A cutesy keyboard cap for any of your cat-obsessed acquaintances who've been working from home for — ohhhh, THREE YEARS NOW?! It has squishy lil' toe beans they can boop whenever they hit esc, option, or whatever other key they use most often.
16. A set of macaron-shaped storage containers where they can store their leftovers from dinner. Jury is out on whether or not they'll actually eat them, but one thing's for certain: They'll ooh and aah over them every time they open the fridge.
If they have a tendency to leave their leftovers in the fridge for too long and then just chuck the container in the trash instead of washing it, these may persuade them to stay on top of things!
Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with 1-day shipping. Non-Prime shipping options will still arrive before Christmas (see Amazon’s full shipping information here).

17. A minimalist pet portrait for the person on your list whose entire personality is their pet. That said, they like to keep their space ~aesthetic~ so a line or colorblock portrait is just the ticket.
18. A nutrient-rich, banana-scented overnight mask that comes in delightfully realistic packaging and smells EXACTLY like a Laffy Taffy. Idc what anyone says, banana candy is supreme.
First thing is first, I *so* wish you could scratch and sniff the photo above. I just started using this and TBH, I absolutely ordered it because it was cute. That said, I was already a big fan of Tonymoly products so I figured why not. Not only is it exceptionally fun looking, but it smells incredible and works really well on my dry skin. While it's definitely thick, it also doesn't leave me greasy which other products have. Basically, if you like banana-scented things and could use some extra hydration, try it out!
Promising review: "This stuff is wonderful! Smells good, but not overpowering. I sleep with a fan on all the time and don't want my skin to dry out. This stays put all night and isn't greasy. My face is nice and soft in the morning. I've bought expensive brands and this works better than anything else I've used." —jan tetzlaff
Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with 1-day shipping. Non-Prime shipping options will still arrive before Christmas (see Amazon’s full shipping information here).
Get it from Amazon for $16.50.
19. A set of blooming tea balls for the tea drinker who is eager to show everyone that looseleaf can be just as aesthetic as latte art!!!
20. An apron with built-in oven mitts and a conversion cheatsheet (tucked in the pocket) so they never have to wash cake batter off their hands before googling the proper baking soda to baking powder replacement ratio.
21. A gamified core trainer so they don't have to go outside to break a sweat this winter, but they do get to pretend they're soaring through space or hang-gliding over a distant countryside.
22. And a modern canvas that hides a pretty cool secret: Every chronological color strip is from a scene in their favorite movie. Below, we have Good Will Hunting from start to finish!
