1. A liquid matte lipstick that comes in an abundance of shades and won't need reapplication at any point during the day.
2. The Art of Gathering, a book packed with surprising insights into how to turn dinner parties, meetings, and conferences into meaningful and worthwhile experiences. (Consider a book club to make this a true gathering.)
3. A pack of sound-muffling door bumpers so you can treat yourself to a midnight snack without announcing your decision to the entire building.
4. A handheld steamer that'll turn crinkly "just-pulled-this-out-from-the-bottom-of-my-dirties" clothing into something a bit more respectable.
5. A scalp-massaging shampoo brush to make every shampoo day a spa day.
6. A pain-relief cream that's unscented, paraben-free, and, more to the point, instantaneous in its soothing effects.
7. A collapsible travel duffel — it's water-resistant and won't show wear and tear, no matter how much you throw it around.
8. A pack of reusable straws and cleaning brushes, because straws in plastic are sometimes not fantastic.
9. Some gift-ready photo prints — your choice of matte, glossy, or luster — that'll probably make your parents verklempt.
10. A "Magic Stone" grill cleaner to take care of the prep part so you can focus your energy on the grillin'.

16. A pair of chic polarized aviator sunglasses you'll want to keep your eyes on.
17. A pack of liquid ant bait for anyone who knows the struggle of a pest infestation a little too well (and is tired of investing in control methods that don't work).
18. A lip balm with SPF that comes in a number of enticing flavor profiles (grapefruit and ginger! black tea and blackberry!).
19. A romper with an elasticized waistline, because summer is winding down and you still haven't romped.
20. A play tunnel that has earned the stamp of approval from hundreds of owners and their respective pets (rabbits included).
21. A frizz-eliminating serum to tame your humidity-ravaged summer hair.
22. A breezy and loose cold-shoulder T-shirt dress, for when you want it both ways.
