1. Lightsaber chopsticks because who wouldn't want to use ~The Force~ to master these utensils? They glow *and* grip onto sushi and noodles so well, you'll want to use 'em for every meal!
My coworker Emma Lord owns these and raves: "I love them to pieces, TBH, I use them as decor every bit as much as I use them to eat." You can read more of her lightsaber chopsticks review (it's #14).
Promising review: "Bought these for a white elephant and everyone loved them! My friends are huge Star Wars fans and absolutely love these chopsticks. Great color quality and great LED light quality. They're well made, easy to clean, and a nice weight! Would recommend for sure, very fun and cute gift!" —Sam
Price: $11.97+ (available in 10 colors and in multipacks)
2. Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza when it's time to try something new at game night. Remember those five words and when there's a match between a card and a spoken word, players race to slap their hand on the central card pile. The last one to do so must take them all!
Promising review: "My family loves playing this game. It takes a few tries to get the rhythm of the game. But my 6- and 8-year-old are pros and love teaching new friends this game. It is one of my go-to gifts for families with elementary school-age kids. The adults get very competitive too!" —M&H
Price: $5.99 (also available in a holiday version)
3. A heavenly scalp massager to gift yourself with the most relaxing sensation your head has ever experienced. Kick up your feet, close your eyes, and enjoy a tingly scalp massage!
Promising review: "Whoever invented these has now become my very best friend! I usually wear my hair up using clips, headbands, or elastics. So when I take my hair down at night, this wonderful tool feels amazing on my scalp! These are quality made, with 28 'fingers' and a wooden handle embossed with a stag. No electricity or batteries needed, and it's so light and easy to use. Great for gift-giving, too – won't break the bank, and they'll thank you for sure!" —Tammy J.
Price: $9.99 (also available as a two-pack)
4. A Mystical Fire Flame Colorant that'll turn your quiet nights around the fire into a captivating light show. Simply drop an unopened pack onto the fire and watch the colors dance the night away!
Promising review: "Absolutely love these. Whenever we have company over, we throw them in the fire. It doesn't matter if it is in the house or in the fire pit. People are awed by the beautiful colors of the flames. Each pouch typically lasts about 30 minutes. It only burns the color where you place the pouch. So I would recommend putting in two for a more evenly spread out color. Definitely a good buy!!" —Laura A Fama
Price: $6.94 for a six-pack
5. A double-sided silicone lip brush for gentle exfoliation that'll leave your lips feeling smoother, fuller, and ready for lipstick.
You might want to consider pairing it with this effective little lip scrub!
Promising review: "I admit I was skeptical about this product but my desperation to regain my soft lips made me click the BUY button. My lips were dried, cracked, and even bleeding — very painful. Even my tried-and-true expensive-as-heck lip moisturizer I use couldn't help. Having this lip brush did the trick and made all the difference. The exfoliation must have allowed my lip moisturizer to get better absorbed. I was able to see results in just a couple of days. Now I have soft and supple lips again. This silicone lip brush feels so good and since the 'bristles' or 'bumps' are shallow, I just needed to use a little bit of my expensive lip moisturizer and it was so easy to clean the brush afterward. Where has this thing been all my life? I don't think I can live without it now." —Double-J
Price: $7.99 (available in two colors)
6. A bottle of very sweet and somewhat spicy Mike's Hot Honey because you need to experience this explosive flavor combo immediately. It may just earn a regular spot on your stocking stuffer wish list!
Promising review: "I tend to shy away from spicy foods, but I couldn’t resist the opportunity to try a new condiment to liven up snacks and recipes with. I was afraid the spice would be overpowering, but it’s actually quite mellow and smooth; just the right touch of heat. So far, I’ve enjoyed this on fruit salad (banana/strawberry/blueberry) with cottage cheese and drizzled on the original Chick-Fil-A sandwich...so delicious!" —Tiger Paws
Price: $9.99 (also available in packs of two, four, and six)
7. A pair of rechargeable light-up frisbees so you can take your outdoor playtime to a whole new level. The best part? You can keep playing long after the sun goes down! It comes with an auto on/off feature, four brightness levels, and four timer modes.
Promising review: "These things are outstanding. The disc itself throws like a dream. Great balance, grip, and weight. They are [very] bright. On the highest setting, it’s difficult to look directly at the lights. I’m not kidding. Several of my friends said as much. Spend the money. You won’t be disappointed. The battery lasted for well over three hours of continuous play. The absolute brightest is the green, followed by purple, then red. They charge extremely fast and are very durable. We have slammed them off brick walls and asphalt roads. No issues whatsoever yet. I couldn’t be a bigger fan of these frisbees." —Will Adams
Price: $59.99 for a two-pack (available in a variety of colors and sold individually)

The set includes six polishes If you don't have a curing UV lamp, be sure to grab one!
Promising review: "This gel set is super awesome! I used to go to the nail shop for me and my girls to get a gel set, but now I’m able to do this from the comfort of our home. The colors are vibrant and trendy, and they make me feel as though I went to my favorite nail salon." —Shauna Pétrus

9. A link chain necklace when you absolutely *live* for a layered jewelry look and would love to have more options! Your impeccable sense of style is about to get even better.
Promising review: "Love, love! I adore this necklace. The length is perfect for layering, and it is easily adjustable. It has a nice soft gold tone, not brassy, so it looks great even with my high-end pieces. I receive lots of compliments!" —JC in ATX

10. Plus, an adjustable initial ring that can be stacked with other rings OR worn solo when you want to make a bold statement with trendy accessories.

13. A life-changing milk frother to make your at-home coffee much more enticing. You'll be able to add some ~frothy deliciousness~ to any drink (even if you use nondairy milk)!
Don't forget the AA batteries!
Promising review: "OMG, this milk frother makes my homemade latte taste like it was made by a barista. It was perfect. So perfect that I bought a second one for my brother who loves coffee to use. I've already recommended it to some coworkers. It has changed my coffee-drinking life. This comes highly recommended." —Michelle

14. A bag hanger clip because your precious purse shouldn't end up on the floor of a restaurant or public bathroom (yuck). It'll be much easier to keep track of your bag, especially during the busy holiday season!
Promising review: "I don’t know why I waited so long to buy this! I absolutely love it and find new uses for it all the time. It’s very nice looking and very sturdy. The clip is the right amount of strength and size. Very affordable too! Would make a great gift. If you're even thinking about buying this a little bit, just do it, you won’t regret it!" —N&E
Price: $14.39 (available in eight colors/finishes)
15. A rechargeable hand warmer if you're prone to ice-cold fingers, especially during the *brrr* holiday season. The double-sided design allows it to heat up in seconds and there are three temperatures to pick from.
It's also USB-rechargeable and you can juice it up with your smartphone or a portable power bank.
Promising review: "This hand warmer is amazing! My hands are constantly cold and I've tried all sorts of products to help keep them warm but nothing has worked until now. I charge the hand warmer every night with a standard USB charger and the next day, I have hours of warmth. The three temperature settings are very helpful — I use the highest setting when I'm outdoors for long periods of time and the lower settings when I'm indoors (e.g., sitting at my desk or in a cold movie theater). I've already given hand warmers as gifts to several cold-handed friends and family members and they're loving it as well. I hope Ocoopa comes out with a foot warmer next!" —RK
Price: $27.99+ (available in 12 colors and as a two-pack)
16. Some wine filters that'll help remove sulfites and histamines from your favorite adult beverage. Bonus points: It can even work wonders in preventing dreaded wine headaches.
PureWine To Your Health is a family-owned small business run by father-and-son duo David and Derek Meadows. They both suffered from wine headaches and allergic reactions, so they created the PureWine Wand!
Promising review: "I notice my energy is better after using the Wand when I wake up the morning after. I feel it reduces the symptoms as I'm sensitive to sulfites and other allergens. Makes a great gift. Wish it were less expensive. It's very easy to use and to carry with you when you go out to eat/drink." —Amazon Customer

Not only is it comfortable, but it's warm. It doesn't smother you and make you hot, but it insulates and keeps the heat in." —Loren

Promising review: "My father-in-law wants for nothing and is notoriously impossible to shop for. This Christmas he was staying with us and Santa needed to put a few things in his stocking (our toddler likes everyone to get something — sweet — but way more work for Santa). I threw this in on a lark and it was his favorite gift for the whole season. He showed it to everyone and uses it still when we FaceTime." —BCOCO

25. A brilliant grill scraper for making the tedious task of cleaning your grill a lot quicker *and* easier. Every grilling day will feel like Christmas morning with this handy tool in your life.
Promising review: "I tried this as an alternative to the bristle brush. It worked flawlessly, both on the flat cast iron grates of my regular grill, and the round chromed grates on my pellet smoker. Fits the profiles real well, just one or two pulls scrape the section clean. Wipe on a damp paper towel, then go to the next bar. Took far less time than I expected, left the grate just needing a final wipe, and on to cooking. Drop it in the dishwasher for cleanup." —Tim Saller
Price: $9.99
