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. A fill-in-the-blank book that requires a little more effort than the other gifts on this list, but your bestie will be seriously impressed that you took the time to create something totally unique. Gift it alongside a box of tissues just in case the tears start flowing.
2. A guided journal so they can write their life story without ever getting writer's block. It's filled with thought-provoking prompts to get their gears turning — and don't forget to ask if you can read it once they're done!
3. A digital picture frame they can use to display a slideshow of all their favorite memories. They'll see something new every time they look at it, so it's truly a gift that keeps on giving.
4. A whiskey set with seven pieces, including a decanter and six matching tumbler glasses that will look oh-so-classy on their bar cart.
5. A pair of glimmering huggie earrings they'll think you spent 5x the price on.
6. A fancy charcuterie board, which certainly looks elegant enough to serve the finest cuts of meat and perfectly aged cheese — though let's be honest, they'll probably just fill it with Lunchables.
7. A set of three owl-shaped plant pots that perch upon their very own bamboo stand to offer wisdom and guidance while keeping their succulents looking their best.
8. A layered 18-karat gold-plated necklace they'll want to wear all year long —it'll glimmer in the summer sun or brighten up a cold fall day.
9. A cute binder so they'll have a place to store all of their family's favorite recipes — and maybe even pass it down once it's all filled up!
10. A layered bracelet that's minimal enough to go with basically any outfit, yet eye-catching enough to get them tons of compliments.
11. A pair of classic hoop earrings made for sensitive ears, so you won't have to worry about accidentally gifting them an allergic reaction.
12. A gorgeous Vahdam tea set for the person on your list who always takes time to relax with a cozy cup of tea every afternoon. They'll get nine new blends to choose from!
13. An eight-piece Pyrex storage container set decorated with their favorite Star Wars characters so the force will be with them when reheating leftovers. Those round containers would also make excellent popcorn bowls once The Mandalorian season 3 arrives.
14. A trendy monogram necklace that's perfect for anyone looking for a statement piece with a personal touch. It's the perfect go-to gift for the jewelry lover who has everything.
15. A set of artificial succulents with motivational quotes for the aspiring gardener who isn't actually about that plant parent life.
16. A sparkling tennis bracelet that will only cost you about $15, but will make them feel like a million bucks.
17. An extendable tray so they can take a relaxing bath with their iPad, a good book, and their favorite beverage all at arm's length — which is the absolute height of luxury.
18. A necklace with their initials and birthstone because double the personalization means double the thoughtfulness.
19. A rocks glass with a map of their favorite city, which feels like it's from the heart, but won't require much from your wallet.
20. A pour-over coffee maker so they can brew that sweet, sweet bean juice in an elegant vessel that looks way more expensive than $20.
21. A variety box featuring four bags from Seattle's top small-batch roasters. Each box is roasted to order, so they'll never have to worry about how long these beans have been sitting on the shelf.
22. A make your own truffles kit — because chocolate is everybody's love language.
23. A stackable ring that's so affordable you'll be tempted to pull an Ariana Grande and buy six more for your crew.
24. A subscription to FabFitFun, which is a quarterly lifestyle box filled with sooooo many goodies. Just let them know it's on the way and they'll be way too excited to even realize it was a last-minute gift!
25. And when all else fails, an Amazon e-gift card — because when you think about, giving them the freedom to choose their own gift is really the most thoughtful way to go.
