We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
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: "I play this game with my girls, ages 6 and 8, as well as my mom. I almost think that it is more fun for my mom and I than the kids. The premise of the game is simple: to slap the pile once the word you say matches the image on the card, with special cards thrown in for extra fun. I have laughed so hard, I've almost cried at the silly antics this game has caused. I love that it's face paced and very travel friendly. I would totally recommend this as a gift." —Melissa Yee

2. A personalized BaubleBar blanket if your giftee is a homebody who'll never refuse something that'll make their couch time exponentially more comfy (and cute, for that matter).
I (Chelsea) have this blanket in natural/beige and it's just so freaking cute. Most often, I leave it in a pile on my couch and it still manages to look chic. Since it's knit, I was worried about how it'd hold up to my cats' incessant biscuit-making, but so far, so good! It also comes in a BaubleBar dust bag which makes it exceptionally gift-able.
Shipping info: As this is a custom item, shipping takes three weeks.
Get it from BaubleBar for $98+ (available in two sizes and seven color combinations).
3. Or a native-designed recycled sherpa blanket so freakin' soft, your friend will want to keep it under lock and key so it isn't stolen by roommates, family members, or four-legged friends.
This blanket was made in collaboration with native artist Doug Good Feather, an artist, veteran, author, and teacher from the Standing Rock Lakota and Dakota Nation who founded the Lakota Way Healing Center.
Promising review: "This is (was) my all-time favorite blanket until my rescue dog Olive took it for herself. The fabric is so soft and the color, pattern, and quality are amazing. The sherpa on the other side is a nice bonus. Guess I need to buy a second one for myself." —Teresa J.
Shipping info: Expedited two-day and overnight shipping options available for an additional cost.
Get it from Faherty for $168.
4. The I Love Trader Joe's Cookbook with 150 different recipes that incorporate ~delish~ ingredients from the World's Best Grocery Store™

It is filled with hints and tips, shopping guidelines, nicely organized recipe categories, and beautiful mouthwatering pictures. I love how the recipes are noted if they are gluten-free or vegetarian, etc. I ❤ Trader Joe's and I ❤ this cookbook!" —Love My Bookish Life

5. Some cutesy Starface Hydro-Stars — for the skincare mavens in your orbit — that absorb icky impurities with 100% hydrocolloid. Plus, the packaging has a built-in mirror so they can apply them on the go!
Starface is a small business that specializes in cruelty-free skincare products.
Promising reviews: "For starters, the package is so adorable and cute. I truly love them. Some people are saying they don’t get rid of your pimples, they just make them smaller, but my experience is totally different. They not only make my pimples smaller, but they completely get rid of them and they stop me from picking at my skin. Again everyone's skin is different and I’m not getting paid to write this but these help me feel beautiful and comfortable in my own skin. 🫶🏼🤍" —Paola Valcarcel

8. Or a copy of Burn After Writing if you want to help them spend less time scrolling and more time reflecting. This guided journal is filled with loads of prompts, questions, and thought experiments to get in touch with feelings and memories both old and new.
Promising review: "This is my first review ever on Amazon but it was so needed and well deserved. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is on their self discovery and healing journey. Hands down the best journal I have so far. The questions are amazing and well worth the thought. This book will make you think and understand all of yourself. Past, present and future. So worth every penny and will definitely be gifting this to all of my friends and family. Such an amazing book/journal." —Emily Velez

9. A pair of Beckham Hotel Collection pillows because chances are, your friend could use a new one and *no one* likes spending their hard-earned cash on things like pillows, so you'll be doing them a major favor.
Promising review: "I bought these as a Christmas gift for a friend that needed new pillows. They liked them so much they asked where I got them as they wanted more to gift to a friend of theirs. My friend is very pleased with them and recommends them." —Teresa

Shipping info: At checkout, you'll have the option to mail your giftee a physical gift card or have a digital version emailed to them on a date of your choosing.
Get it from Warby Parker for $50+ (available in digital and physical options).
11. A Book of the Month subscription that'll send them a hardcover book of their choice every month. It takes the scary guesswork out of offering book recs and gets more great titles on their shelves for less $$$.
I (Danielle) received a three-month Book of the Month subscription for Christmas one year, and it was the best surprise! I really underestimated how much I would enjoy having books picked out for me. It’s like never having to choose where to eat ever again. A dream come true! Also, two great things will happen when you have a BOTM subscription: 1) You’re going to discover new, amazing authors (ily, Sally Rooney). 2) You’re going to become the friend who already read that amazing book before it got popular. Who woulda thought a book subscription could up your cool-factor so much?
Your giftee will receive a current, best-selling book of their choice (from a rotating selection of five titles from different genres) every month for three, six, or twelve months.
Shipping info: At checkout, you'll have the option to notify the giftee via email, a print-at-home card, or a mailed gift card.

12. A variety pack of Reese's candies sure to please the peanut butter lover among you. The 30-pack comes with the classics (see: Reese's Pieces, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, and Reese's Big Cups) and a few we didn't even know existed (hiya 👋🏻 Reese's Sticks, Reese's White Peanut Butter Cups, and Reese's Take 5 Bars). 🥜
Promising review: "I ordered this variety pack for my husband as a Christmas gift. He loves Reese’s so this is the perfect gift. I was pleasantly surprised to see the how carefully this product was packaged. It arrived in a box that had insulation AND a reusable ice pack! The ice pack was still partially frozen so I have no doubt the product never melted. This was a huge concern as I live in South Florida and it is hot. I highly recommend this product and will definitely order again in the future." —Mstank

13. A bottle of Truff Hot Sauce they can add to essentially any meal to make it feel like a gourmet affair — even if they're just sitting in front of the TV.
I (Danielle) 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

15. A hybrid garment duffel bag because your favorite jetsetter doesn't have time to waste on the hotel iron and wrinkly clothes. This TSA-friendly bag has space for a hanging suit and a couple of dress shirts, then folds up into a duffel with space for a weekend trip's worth of folded clothes — plus shoes!
Promising review: "The Halfday garment bag is great for traveling for work. I use it each week and it helps me avoid the hassle of having to iron everything after arriving at the hotel." —Adam O.

Get it from Halfday for $98 (available in eight colors).
16. A handmade match striker for the candle-obsessed friend who has collected enough scents to open their own shop. The ceramic pot is way more aesthetically pleasing than a lighter and doubles as decor in its own right.
Henro Company is a family-run small biz (named after their son Henry Robert) with the goal of creating and sourcing chic and functional home decor they're proud to brand with their son's name!
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

Get it from Henro Company on Amazon Handmade for $24+ (available with or without matches).
17. A 252-piece custom photo puzzle featuring your favorite pic of the two of you or a portrait of their dog — you know, whichever you think they'd appreciate more.
18. 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?
Promising review: "My wife got me this as a Christmas present and I must admit I rolled my eyes when I opened the box. 'That'll never work,' I thought to myself. We stuck it on the shower wall that day and have had no issues since. It's still sticking some 60 days later and shows no signs of slipping. It holds beer cans and plastic pint glasses like a boss, and for those days when I'm feeling super bougie, I make a cocktail, dump it in a tumbler, and it fits, too! Shower beers will never be the same again!" —Morgan

Promising review: "I didn't know what I was missing until I used this. My life is now complete. If you enjoy comfort and lazy binge-watching but don't care how ridiculous you look wearing these, then you have found Nirvana. My glasses fit in these just fine. Takes a minute to get used to, then it becomes your reason to live. Expect people to laugh at you, but forgive them for they know not what they are missing." —Michael Boyd

25. An air-purifying money tree that arrives pre-potted in a stylish planter, is easy to care for (just water once a week!), and is said to bring prosperity and good luck to its owners — the best gift of all!
Promising review: "Plant came perfectly wrapped, in seemingly great condition, with a lot of potential growth up top. I was nervous about the pot not having drainage holes but was relieved to see the tree came in a grower's pot so that I could still water without having to worry about poor drainage. Was also very impressed to see the bag of rocks was packed separately, allowing me to put some in the bottom of the pot and use the rest decoratively on top. Overall very happy with my purchase, and think this would make a great gift!" —Ryan G.

28. A canister of chai that tastes JUST as good as their favorite coffee shop cup. If they already have a stove top espresso pot, they can even make it ~dirty.~
Not gonna lie, I (Chelsea) went on a serious reconnaissance mission at my local joint just to figure out what kind of chai they were using and lo and behold it was this bad boy! All you have to do is add water or milk (and ice if you want it cold) and BAM, you've got a chai that could go for $5+.
Promising review: "I tried this in a cafe and had to order it right away when I got home. I also like the Tiger Spice, this is different but just as flavorful with a citrus undertone. It has a strong flavor that might not be for everyone. Also a little pricey." —KatVegas

32. A pair of scrunchie-style Apple Watch bands for those who never go a day without 1. completing their rings and 2. accessorizing like the best of 'em.
Promising review: "Let me start by saying they are extremely comfortable! I own different types of bands (silicone, leather, metal) and the scrunchie is already my favorite. I have been wearing it since I got it and I do think it’s loosened a bit, but not to where it slides around. The fabric is soft and doesn’t irate me, or get caught on anything. I thinks they are a great value and worth adding some variety and cuteness to your Apple watch!" —Kelly G.

A few reviewers thought to personalize this product with fun decals!
Promising review: "Got this as a gift for someone that pretty much has everything and unfortunately that includes terrible allergies. Hard person to shop for so I thought why not give this person something cute and functional. Something that takes up very little space and may even be a conversation piece in their home while they are grabbing for Kleenex. Hope this person likes it and if they do not I'll gladly keep it because I like it..." —K S

Promising review: "I'm surprised that it actually works as well as it does! I roll it onto the soles of my feet and onto one wrist. I inhale the scent off my wrist for about 20 minutes while I watch Netflix in bed. I'm out like a light within half an hour! I couldn't live without it! ♡" —Vada

Promising review: "I love this! It doesn’t hold a ton of jewelry but I was looking for something smaller to take on short trips so it’s perfect for me. Love that the dividers are removable so you can put a chunky bracelet or pair of earrings in the big section next to the rings." —Caitlin Campbell

Promising review: "I know crocs are not the prettiest shoes, but man are they COMFORTABLE! A friend bought me a pair last year as a gag gift and when I started to have knee and back problems I decided to give them a try and they are a game changer. I’m on my feet for several hours at a time and these help relieve some of the pain in my knees and lower back. They are also true to size, and even as my feet swell from time to time they are still very comfortable — especially if you have wide feet like me. The charms help personalize them as well, which it always a plus." —Just Viv :)

40. A set of Globbles to initiate them with the legions 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

Last time I was in Austin I went to this indoor holiday market that had a whole bunch of small businesses and artists, including Illuminidol.

My haul included Timothée Chalamet, Kasey Musgraves, Ben Affleck, Stevie Nicks, and Brendon Urie. I’ve also bought a few more online for birthday presents and just-because gifts.

The insulated bottle can keep their choice of beverage hot for 12 hours or cold for 24 hours. But now, for the exciting part: A secret 3.25 x 3-inch storage compartment at the bottom can hold various credit cards, keys, cash, and even AirPods.
Promising review: "Amazingly clever and well-made! I love this thing!!! Fully fits a credit card, car key, little lump of stuff in the bottom. Screws on invisibly. Well-shaped, well-made, keeps temperature. Solid 5 stars. If anything changes, I'll update, but I've been using it for a few days and right now I'm in love." —Lindsey Loon
