1. A heated Shiatsu massage pillow to gift them the next best thing after a personal masseuse. It offers soothing at-home relief from the daily aches and pains that come with having a body and being alive.
Fire this massage pillow up with the included power adaptor and enjoy pre-timed 20-minute sessions with auto shutoff and overheat protection!
Promising review: "My wife and I got this pillow for her mom during the holidays and she raved so much we decided to get our own. And what a great decision! This massage pillow provides amazing relief for back and shoulder pain. I have tried so many things, and what I love about this pillow is that I don't have to hold the massager. I can just lean back, place it on the spot on my shoulder or back that is tight, and relax. I have definitely noticed a difference after a month of use — my shoulders are no longer so tense and the range of motion in my back feels freer. The heat is also a great touch, and the protective sleeve helps to keep it from getting too hot. If you're on the fence about whether or not to buy, I highly recommend!" —Abcxyz

2. A pillow top cooling mattress topper if they're tired of regular foam toppers that slide around all night and aren't breathable. This one has a deep pocket that'll fit around most mattresses and will help keep them cool all night long (so they can pile on the blankets, duh).
Promising review: "I have bought so many toppers in my life I just gave up years ago trying to find the one that is perfect for me, and I finally decided to try one more. This topper is like lying on a bed of marshmallows. Not too soft but so comfortable I just don't want to get out of bed...I have had this for one month and still the best purchase for bedding I have ever made!!!! Holds it shape every day and I am no lightweight. Finally a great night's sleep!!!" —Vickie Conner

3. Plus, a beyond comfortable Casper pillow because it's soft on the outside yet firm on the inside to support any way they sleep. Back, side, stomach — this pillow has them covered.
Promising review: "With my previous pillows I would wake up with a sore neck every morning. I don't know why it took me so long to buy these! They're super fluffy but also have firmness too. I look forward to going to bed. My neck is no longer sore when I wake up. Even my husband loves his. I'm so happy with them I may buy a Casper bed when it's time to buy a mattress because I love the pillows so much I'm now a fan of this brand." —Denise Cruz

4. An under-desk bike for anyone who struggles to squeeze a workout into their busy schedule. Now they can flex their multitasking muscles and pedal the day away while working.
It works with desks as low as 27 inches. If you're tall or you have long legs, you can still use it while working from the couch.
Promising review: "Really perfect for me. I have averaged about 50 miles per day and have lost 4 pounds in one week. Really well built and totally silent. I'm 5'8" and I do have to sit in a low chair but it works well and I do computer work and talk on the phone while burning about 1,000 calories a day! You can't beat that. I was looking at more expensive solutions but I won't look anymore. Completely satisfied." —Phil

5. A bucket-style towel warmer small enough to fit in nearly any bathroom so their every shower can end with the cuddly embrace of a toasty towel.
Promising review: "This towel warmer is great! Does the job well and needs no setup. Fits two full-size towels easily and heats them up evenly. Would recommend to elevate your bathroom!" —Luc H L'Ecuyer

6. A Wi-Fi-connected digital picture frame that'll make it possible for them to show off an unlimited number of photos without the hassle of getting them printed (or overwhelming their already crowded walls).
There's no risk with this purchase! If they don't love your frame, Skylight will offer a full refund. My coworker Abby Kass loves hers! In her own words:
"I actually got this frame for my dad a few years ago for Christmas. He LOVES taking pictures (like used to keep albums and albums before photos were digital), so I thought this would be great for him. It was super easy to set up and connects to Wi-Fi. It then comes with an email address where you can send the photos you want it to rotate through. My parents keep it running all the time. It's a nice way to actually see all the photos you have without them taking up all the walls in your home."

7. A self-contained hydroponic garden if they love the idea of instant access to fresh herbs without a trip to the grocery store. Complete with herb seed pods, this indoor garden allows them to grow up to six different plants on your countertop in water. No soil = no mess.
Promising review: "I got this as a birthday present for my husband, the classic man who's impossible to buy for, and he was thrilled with it. He's a by-the-numbers kind of guy, and followed the directions carefully. As a result, all six of the herbs have germinated, and we are already using some of them (basil, thyme and dill) only three weeks later. One thing: The light is much brighter than I expected. The pictures show it as a pleasant glow, almost a night light. It's bright. The timer keeps it on for 15 hours a day, so hopefully there's a place in your house where it won't reflect off the TV screen or light up somebody's bedroom." —Mary B.

8. A no-frills metal garment rack because their closet overflow will look a lot better on this boutique-worthy display than it does piled up on their desk chair. It'll probably make finding something to wear when they do decide to leave the house a lot easier, too.
Promising review: "I live in a small dorm in Philadelphia, and this fits perfectly! It was the perfect touch to my room, and I assembled it by myself (woot woot). It's also a nice conversational piece because I get to talk about the outerwear that I display on it! Good quality for the price too." —RMD
Shipping info: Free expedited Prime shipping available for Prime members, and non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in nine styles and in black or white).
9. A digital sunrise alarm clock to help them wake up on the right side of the bed every morning. This clock gradually fills the room with programable light and natural sounds for a gentle, sun-soaked wake-up routine, whether they're usually up before the sun or not.
This can be programmed with seven different light settings, seven different calming "wake up" noises, and to start gradually lighting up at 30, 20, or 10 minutes before they wake.
Promising review: "I have a hard time waking up in the morning early when it's still dark out, and this alarm works great. Slowly brightens up over a few minutes and mimics the sun shining in. I really like the sound options and I'm happy with my purchase." —Danica Cunningham

10. A fast-acting air purifier if they suffer from allergies or are just very sensitive to mysterious smells. With three-stage filtration, this ultra quiet system traps pet dander, pollen, odors, and more so they can breathe a little easier.
The purifier filters allergens, mold, pet dander, dust, smoke, and cooking odors, and covers up to 219 square feet. Plus, there's a smart indicator to let them know when it's time to put in a new replacement filter.
Promising reviews: "This was a gift for my sister after her husband was diagnosed with a host of allergies. They use it in their bedroom and he no longer wakes up with daily congestion like he did before. They are very happy with it." —Meredith

11. An oversized bath sheet so they can experience the joy of a towel that's actually big enough to truly get wrapped up in. Not only is it an XL upgrade, but it's also made from super plushy long-staple cotton, features piped edges, and can be customized with luxe embroidery.
Weezie is a woman-owned small biz looking to modernize the luxury towel experience with top-notch quality and a whole host of personalization options. They work with a third-generation, family-owned factory in Portugal and all of their towels and robes are made from 100% organic long-staple cotton.
Promising review: "These bath sheets are simply amazing! Absorbent, soft, cozy, big enough to wrap up and walk around in. Perfect for the bath, but also for the hot tub or the beach. Wonderful design that will go with any bathroom decor. It has be looking forward to the next shower!" —Angela C.

Get it from Weezie for $88 (available in nine colors; personalization available for an additional $15).
12. A standing hammock chair that's a modern take on their grandmother's rocking chair, but no less relaxing. They'll be pushing you out the door so they can grab a good book and escape the world in their new egg-shaped sanctuary.
Promising review: "I got (cream color) this chair for my sunroom, and I love it! It's very sturdy, and it took my husband about 10 minutes to put together. You can make the stand go wherever you want. I have mine to the side because it saves more space that way, but you can have the bar in the back like the display picture. The chair and stand are a dark brown, not black, and the strands in between are kind of a tan string color. I wanted black, but I got it anyway because it still looks great! It’s so comfy and roomy, and it can be set in place with a tie down where it only allows you to sway, or you don’t have to use the tie down and it can spin in circles and just go all over the place. It’s so cute and worth every penny. Amazing! Get it." —Jordan Cox

13. An outdoor projection set that includes a 100-inch screen and a mini projector if their Netflix routine could use some shaking up. This projector is compatible with an array of streaming devices like your laptop, Fire TV Stick, and Roku so you can grab a blanket and start binge-watching shows in your backyard.
The home projector includes multiple ports (HDMI, two USB ports, AV, and a 3.5mm headphone jack) for widespread device compatibility. It also has built-in speakers, but can easily be hooked up to other external speakers or a soundbar via Bluetooth.
Promising review: "Perfect for Halloween projections on windows for spooky decor. Always works great for regular watching shows and movies outdoors! The unit isn't that loud, but the Bluetooth connection makes it perfect for connecting to a Bluetooth speaker for louder volume." —ashley

14. The famous Little Green upholstery cleaner because this machine is the gift of practical shock and awe with its ability to suck up messes and restore furniture, carpets, and even car interiors to their former glory. Maybe they thought it was time to go out and buy a new couch, but, KIDDING, the old one just needed a good deep cleaning.
Promising review: "I bought this for my daughter as a gift. She was thrilled with it and said she has used it on her furniture and carpet! She has a young son and dog and said it cleaned well! She brought it to my hose and spot cleaned some areas of my carpet! I was impressed!" —Gigi

15. A silver-tone peace sign statue if they want to hit guests over the head with their "good vibes only" policy.
Promising review: "I was not expecting super high quality but was pleasantly surprised! It is a nice hollow but sturdy ceramic piece. The paint finish is super glossy and very smooth. I love it! I am probably going to order a couple as gifts." —JeanMarieJohnson

17. Plus, a compact mini fridge for days when they have so much to do, even a trip to the kitchen feels like too much of a distraction. This can keep snacks and drinks warm or cool, has a removable shelf, and can hold six 12-ounce cans!
You can charge this using an adapter in your car or a regular outlet, and if you unplug it and take it on the go, items will stay cold for several hours as long as you don't open the door.
Promising review: "I bought this refrigerator because I work from home because of the COVID-19 quarantine. When I’m working during the day, I have to keep myself locked up in the spare bedroom so my toddler doesn’t realize I’m home. Otherwise, she would be trying to come see me all day. **Disclaimer: I don’t just lock my toddler out and leave her alone, there’s someone here taking care of her! Anyway, since I can’t really leave the bedroom, this fridge has been great to keep some drinks cold while I’m working. I put them in already cold and they hold the temperature as long as they are in the fridge." —Aratay

18. This Wi-Fi-enabled robot vacuum so they can get the floors cleaned without even thinking about it. Easily schedule regular cleanings from the app and let this little bot's three-stage cleaning system and built-in dirt detector sensors take care of the rest.
Promising review: "Worsening health made regular vacuuming an exhausting, painful trial (I got to the point that I was trying to vacuum sitting down.) But this little thing is a life-saver. It cleans well and it's great to be able to get clean floors and carpets without pain and exhaustion. The best part, I think, is that cleaning the unit is so much easier than the traditional vacuum I used to have (where trying to clean out hair that wrapped up around the beater bar required a screwdriver and some brute strength.) On this, the brush and the other bits that get the dirt/hair, etc. into the vacuum just pop out and pop back in. (BTW, I found that a regular old seam ripper is great for getting long hair out of the brush part.) Same with the dirt cup thing (that collects all the dust, etc.) Pops out to be washed or just wiped out with a paper towel and pops back in. I absolutely adore this gadget and would never go back to a regular vacuum." —Lynda T

19. A retro-inspired pixel art Bluetooth speaker that does a lot more than just play music. Besides functioning as an alarm, notification center, and more, the speaker also pairs with an app where they can select from pre-made pixel art designs or create their own to display on the programmable LED screen.
Promising review: "We love it! The speaker in and of itself is worth the purchase. I was surprised by how much there is to do on it when you download the free app. Excellent quality. Nothing cheap about it. Highly recommend for the whole family." —Sampson

20. A modern shoe rack if they've got an expansive shoe collection with no good way to store it (or show it off!). This slim rack is super easy to assemble and has a low profile perfect for small spaces.
Promising review: "I bought this for my husband to help both show off his Vans and Converse and also help keep them off the floor. They fit well despite his size 13 feet (I wouldn’t get this for bigger shoes though) and it went into a very narrow corner of the room. Very happy with it!" —Kimberly A Hinton

21. A giant 10x10 blanket because there need not be any more fights over cold feet and cuddle inequality. With this blanket, everyone's covered (literally) with room for the whole friend group.
Big Blanket Co. is a small business on a mission to create very large blankets. The blankets are made with four-way stretch, temperature regulating fabric, and can fit in standard-sized washing machines.
Promising review: "This is a case of really getting exactly what they say you are getting. This is a really nice lightweight but warm, soft, gigantic blanket. Got it as a gift for my spouse who is always curled up on the couch and is always cold and can never find a blanket big enough for her and the dogs. This blanket was a great Christmas gift and she loves it and got a kick out of how big it actually is in person." —Joe Taranto

Promising review: "I ordered these as a Christmas gift for my sister this year after seeing these on a TikTok gift guide and they are PERFECT! They are glass and simply stunning to look at. I know she is going to love using these for hosting as they are a statement piece. Perfect Christmas gift for any wine lover, I may have to order a set for myself." —Jordyn Peters

23. A spacious five-tier bookcase so all their books, board games, and tchotchkes have a place to call home that doesn't start with an "f" and end in "loor."
Promising review: "This bookcase did exactly what I wanted it to do. It is holding my books. A LOT of books. And it is doing so looking quite nice, not at all cheap. Now, if I wiggle the bookcase a bit sideways, it wobbles a bit. It is NOT as if it is made of hardwoods and put together with complex joinery. It is not. You use hex screws and screw them in to attach the shelves, back cross bars, and the crown. But, it holds books, and a LOT of them, without bowing and it is looks very nice. I have had compliments on them, one from a man who does woodworking. He knew they aren't fine woodworking, but, he thought they look nice, nicer than expected for the price. I got them in expresso. They are a dark wood tone that really, goes with just about anything. My house is full of hickory, every bit of wood is hickory. These bookcases look fabulous as a dark counterpoint to all the lighter wood." —Moniva

24. A natural edge wood side table if it's time to retire their plain, dinged-up Ikea side table and upgrade to something a little more stylized. Obviously, their morning coffee deserves the most stylish perch!
Promising review: "Easy peasy assembly. Yes, you do need a screw driver and a drill. There's a template for the holes already screwed onto the underside. Screws are provided (check inside the box!). The wood was even, no blemishes or cracks. Three legs are solid and the piece doesn't wobble. Great purchase. Love it." —Patseeker

25. A modern smart LED standing lamp because what this slim little light lacks in size it makes up for in room-altering ambience they can control from their phone.
Promising review: "Bought this light because I thought it was cool, but it is more than that! I use it every day, and it has many colors and patterns to choose from. The thing I love the most is you can set up times for it to come on and turn off. You can set how bright you want it, so I had it turned on with a dimmed light to help me wake up in early mornings." —Rueben Thao

Promising review: "I love this thing!!!! I have three long-haired dogs and it just sucks up all that hair. I almost did not get it because of a review saying that it got clogged up quickly. That is not the case. It compacts the hair and doesn't lose the suction. I empty it once a week and I sweep almost every day!" —Christy Sanders
