1. A game of Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza that's super simple to learn, great for all ages, and anything but boring. Play this fast-paced party game once and they'll become the star of every future game night on their calendar.
The rules are simple. Deal the deck out to all players (works with 3-8 players). Everyone keeps their mini deck face down and goes around the table flipping a card face up and saying one of the five key words (taco, cat, goat, cheese, and pizza — in that order). Once the card played matches the word said, it's a race to slap that center card. Whoever taps in last has to take the center stack and the round starts over. Whoever gets rid of all their cards first wins!
Promising review: "Fun game for all ages, we first played this game when camping with family. we loved it so much that we bought it for our own household, people of all ages can play the game, it's fast, fun and gets you laughing. Great for traveling, camping, or just at home. Simple quick fun game." —Erin Foster

10. A waterproof shower phone holder with a touch-capable screen if they like having total control of their shower time song selection or just need some entertainment while waiting out their hair mask.
Promising review: "This product was a TikTok recommendation and has not let me down. It comes with three adhesive mounts and sticks well to either tile or glass. The clear screen allows for scrolling or swiping easily. My only critique is how the phone sits inside. I have the iPhone 11 Pro Max, which is a larger phone but it sits low in the chamber and that prevents me from changing between apps as I can't swipe up at the bottom to get back to my home screen. Otherwise it's great!" —Susan Gifford

I got a bottle of this liquid gold for Christmas one year and WHOOO BOY do I love it. Calling it hot sauce isn't totally correct. It is a sauce that is hot, but the consistency is substantially thicker than what you might expect from your standard Tabasco. Regardless, if they like spice and truffle this is a fun condiment to add to their assortment!
Promising review: "Purchased this because it was on Oprah’s favorite things. As a truffle and sriracha lover, this is what you get when truffle and sriracha had a baby but 10x better. I highly recommend, because it helps my food taste better for my boring diets." —Linzyn87

Promising review: "I got the three-pack, one for me and two as gifts to friends who are trying to reduce waste. We all love these lighters because a single charge really does last, we don't have to buy any more disposable lighters for the foreseeable future, and the length is perfect for hard-to-reach wicks. Getting used to how to place the arc on the wick and understanding that there was a safety timeout took me a bit to get used to but wasn't frustrating." —Salim

22. A set of Globbles to initiate them with the legions of TikTokers already loving this stress-relieving fidget toy. These colorful balls are not just fun to squeeze and stretch, but they also stick to pretty much any flat surface without leaving behind messy residue.
Promising review: "Bought a six-pack for my neurodivergent family. We are all either ADHD or autistic. I struggle with compulsive hair pulling and bought these to help keep my hands busy. They are the perfect size, more satisfying than a stress ball, clean easily, are fun to hurl at the wall or ceiling, and so far have lasted very well. I did test the durability of one and did break one when I pulled it as hard as I could — the inside looks something like shaving cream and didn’t smell or anything. But if you have a kid who is an aggressive chewer, perhaps keep an eye on them." —Amazon Customer

27. A mini desktop humidifier to combat dry office air with a constant (and silent) stream of on-demand moisture. Did you hear that? It's their parched skin letting out a sigh of relief.
My skin gets flakey patches whenever the seasons change and my nose becomes downright painful in the winter from dryness. Not only did this little humidifier totally solve those problems, but it's still going strong a full year later after many, many hours of use. The bottom screws off, so it's a breeze to refill and it's all but silent, so no worries if you leave it running during a meeting. Occasionally, the mist hole on top gets a little clogged since I just fill it with regular tap water (if you're ambitious enough to use filtered water this may not happen?), but after wiping it out with a swab it's good as new. Highly, highly recommend to anyone who spends way too much time sitting at a desk.

34. A recycled ripstop reusable shopping bag because they're always running post-work errands but also chronically unprepared for the "Do you need a bag?" question every time. Each bag has a massive carrying capacity but folds up tiny enough to keep stowed in a purse or backpack so they're always prepared.
I can't and I won't shut up about my Baggu!!!! It was sort of an impulse purchase in a situation where I needed a bag, and I have gotten SO much use out of it ever since. It folds up tiny enough that I can pack it along with my other out-and-about essentials without hogging too much space in my purse — I bring it EVERYWHERE! It's massive and holds so much stuff, making it perfect for almost any impromptu shopping excursion. Because of its size, I worried getting the bag folded back into its small carrying pouch would be a struggle. It's surprisingly simple and very forgiving of a poor fold job. The fact that it wipes clean and is safe to machine wash makes it even more versatile. I've been known to lug bags of food scraps to my compost drop-off with it. If I were president, I'd make sure everyone had a Baggu!!!!!
Shipping info: Once placed, orders take 24–48 hours to process and ship. Priority Mails (3–4 business days) and two-day shipping upgrades are available for an additional fee.

Promising review: "Great little functional piece of pottery that was the perfect addition to the floating shelves I built for the water closet in my master bathroom. Comes with a starter set of Strike Anywhere matches. The seller was fantastic, when I reached out to her about a shipping issue (the postal carrier's mistake as it turned out) she was quick to reply and offer solutions. It is a small piece, so don't be surprised by that, but it's meant to hold matches, how big could it possibly be? It came packaged in a cute little cloth bag that would be suitable for gifting and the matches even came in a little glass jar that can be reused. Super pleased." —Abbey Ater

They're perfect for things like fruit, salad, or something saucy — stuff you really don't want to get squished *and* want to ensure doesn't leak into your bag. *But* I have found that I use them just as much at home full-time! They are of course great for leftovers, but also for prepped ingredients for the week. Shedded cheese, prepped chicken, and chopped veggies usually live in these, ready to be utilized for a quick lunch or snack. They clean *super* well — I even have the cream color and it recovered from storing beets! 10/10 from me." —Rachel Dunkel

44. A Brightland olive oil subscription that'll have them feeling like they could take on Bobby Flay in a cook-off. These are great on salads and pastas, and are perfect to drizzle on top of a ton of other delectable dishes. Their subscription starts off with Brightland's bestseller, The Duo, which includes their popular Awake and Alive olive oils.
Brightland is a WOC-owned small business that sources olives for their oils from a family-run farm in California.
What they'll get: Their first package will include two of Brightland's bestselling olive oils, and after that they can customize their packages via Brightland's subscriber hub.
Promising review: "I have yet to find another olive oil with better flavor than Brightland. I find myself making meals specifically just to use this lovely olive oil. It is a total game-changer. Say goodbye to that nasty bitter flavor that comes with most commercial oils, and hello to an explosion of flavors and spice. (Surprisingly spicy!) Ordering and shipping are always a breeze; you can also easily adjust the subscription to suit your needs. I’m so happy to have found this product. It honestly makes everything taste better." —Jen

45. And, finally, a mini Wacky Waving Inflatable Tube Guy if their workstation could use a lively companion who's always down for an impromptu dance party.
Promising review: "I opened the package and screamed for joy! As I placed the 9-volt battery my hands were trembling with what was going to happen next! As I turned on the wacky waving inflatable tube man I knew I have a friend for life. Someone you can really count on cheering you up when you are feeling down. He brought me such joy I started to cry with laughter and happiness." —Robert Wurstner

46. A *leak-proof* Simple Modern tumbler — yes, the insulated tumbler you keep seeing all over TikTok. Reviewers say the hype is real *and* well-deserved. It comes in tons of great colors and is almost half the price of the also viral Stanley Cup. This is definitely on their wish list!
Promising review: "Obsessed with this one! Had the Classic 28oz tumbler that lasted for over two years and decided it was time to let go and get a bigger one. For the longest I struggled deciding between Simple Modern and Stanley, so glad I stayed with this brand! Not only is it cheaper, I love solid matte black anything and everything, so this is just perfect! Keeps my water cold for hours and fits in my car cup holder." —Allyza Rafols

47. A Kate Spade tote bag that's waaay better than your typical tote. Why? This beaut is made of strong, durable canvas AND has inside pockets for easy access to their keys, wallet, etc. To top it all off, it's got a very fitting (and very adorable) stacked book design in front. Need I say more?
My colleague Emma Lord owns this bag (pictured above) and uses it during her commute to the office.
Promising review: "I bought this cute bag for my college-age daughter, who always ends up juggling veggies when she shops for food! She loves books as well as Kate Spade bags, so this was perfect! It's multipurpose and foldable, so it's easy for her to keep handy. Once she received it she confirmed that its perfect, for books or veggies!" —Gwen Leite

48. A colorful keyboard to help their desk setup go from bland to bright. The keyboard is full size too, meaning it has that super convenient numeric pad on the right.
Do you know they hate typing on a laptop? No worries, because this keyboard comes with a mouse and a USB receiver (compatible with Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, and Mac) that'll make their next typing session a breeze.
Promising reviews: "So cute! Not gonna lie, this got me through my winter finals in college; the tapping noises from the keys are so soothing. Works very well, and color scheme is amazing! Planning on buying the yellow one as well. 👀" —Samantha
"I love this keyboard! It's only been a couple of weeks, but it makes me excited to write again. I ordered blue, it's lovely and easy to use, haven't had any problems with the keys being round like I thought I would. The mouse is fine, the connection hasn't had any problems yet. I feel like the price is reasonable, it's not super fancy with lighting, but it has a nice aesthetic and fluffy sounding clicky clackies." —Eric

BTW, reviewers say this fridge is quiet too! No worries about loud noises while they're trying to sleep.
Promising reviews: "It fit perfectly in my dorm room. Perfect for small compact things like yogurt and any fruit you might have." —Erriyana Moore
"I love this fridge! Perfect size for all my cosmetics and it was something so didn’t even realize I needed. It keeps my products good for longer periods of time and gives that nice cooling sensation after washing your face and putting on the cosmetics. It is also SILENT! cannot hear a peep from it. It also travels well and stays cool!" —Alexandra Holsapple

51. A hand-poured Homesick candle to make their living space smell like their favorite state. It has up to 80 hours of burn time and will help them relax whenever they're missing home.
52. A cold brew coffeemaker for anybody who likes a cup of cold brew before hitting the books. *Voila* now they can have barista-level cold brew from the comfort of their own kitchen!
Promising review: "I have been drinking caffeinated beverages everyday for half my life. Usually brewing hot then cooling it down with ice which was quite a process to do every morning. Then I came across this cold brew pitcher and thought I'd give it a try. It's great, easy to use and clean, very convenient, lasts for a couple weeks, I love it! Making a pitcher of coffee take less time than a normal brewer and makes enough for at least one cup a day for about a week, depending on how much coffee concentrate is used. I haven't used my normal coffee or espresso machine since I got this cold brew system. The coffee seems to taste better as well, not a huge difference but it's somewhat noticeable." –Birnbaum
