1. A set of Globbles that'll be a nice get-away-from-the-computer exercise in getting out a bit of stress and frustration. They're squishy and can stick to all kinds of surfaces *without* leaving behind a mess. Def a one-up from the stress-relieving slime of yore. So really, anyone could seemingly enjoy these.
Check out a TikTok of the Globbles in action.
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, 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

Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with two-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).
2. Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza, a super-fun card game you can then play with them because that NSFW Cards Against Humanity deck is a bit tired by now. Well, with this, it's safe for *all* ages.
Recommended for ages 8+. As soon as there is a match between a card and a spoken word, race against each other to slap your hand on the central pile of cards. The last one to do so must take them all. Be quick to be the first to get rid of all your cards. But watch out! Your mind will play tricks on you.
Promising review: "This game is more mind bending than you think. Don’t let the cuteness fool you. This game is by far the most competitive and fun party game to play with friends!! The special cards mess with your mind!
"Pros: hours of fun, cute drawing style, unique packaging, easy to play
"Cons: may result in red hands, strain of voice from intense playing" —Hani

3. A screaming goat that'll make them say "it me" when it shrieks on their behalf. Or just elicit a shriek from them. Either way, it'll be entertaining for YOU.
Promising review: "I spend about 90% of my day silently screaming at the computer because, well, welcome to customer service. Since this little goat arrived, I no longer look like I am practicing for my appearance on Jerry Springer. I just push the little goat. He screams (but not in a disruptive way). I smile. I am no longer annoyed. I survived peak season because of this goat. I owe my sanity to you, screaming goat." —Gab&Amanda

4. A Silly Poopy's Hide & Seek game that, yes, is truly made for kids. But gift it to a parent who grew up on Captain Underpants for a total hit. And when the adult's old bones get tired of playing, the game can completely take over because the Silly Poopy does the hiding!
Check out a TikTok of the Silly Poopy in action.
Promising review: "Let me tell you that if you want hours of endless fun of hide and go seek without having to hide yourself, this is a must-get! When it's hidden it makes various toot noises and says stuff so the kids know if they are close. And when they find it and press the button to do and sing the Silly Poopy dance ... even you will dance and sing along!!! Doesn't need batteries and come on, it's poop? Who doesn't think poop and toot noises are funny and if they don't they are lying to themselves. A must-have for fun with your kids without barely doing any work!!" —andrea kelli gorman

5. A wine coloring book for anyone whose only personality trait is seemingly posting about it being wine O'clock — though you're starting to think they have no real grasp on time.
Bonus: it comes with colored pencils included!
Promising review: "Very cute, sayings were accurate and funny. Pictures provided a lot of variety from simple to more complex, and provide plenty of stress relief while watching a movie and coloring and drinking wine of course." —Tegyn Dustin
Get it from Amazon for $12.95.
Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with two-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).

Get it from Amazon for $13.95+ (available in six colors).
Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with two-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).
7. A copy of Burn After Writing, a guided journal they've likely run across on TikTok. It urges journal owners to express and explore their feelings away from screen. And then, WELL, they can burn it after writing. Which is just fun.
Promising review: "I first saw this book on TikTok and decided to look more into it. I purchased four total because I know some people holding onto things that are difficult to let go of. It’s a great way to look at things from a different perspective and truly hold yourself accountable to different things in your life. I love what it stands for and I look forward to when I burn mine after I’m done. Self love, self care, and meditation for a better state of mind tomorrow is always the goal. I definitely recommend it to those susceptible to change and the willingness to try things different. You’re so much more than what’s been done to you and someone’s inability to see your worth does not decrease your value. Choose you for a change." —Brent Helm
Get it from Amazon for $7.
Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with two-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).
8. A gentle bubbly clay mask can help remove blackheads and minimize the appearance of pores...and your fave beauty fiend (or someone just getting into skincare) will have a blast using. Maybe even use it together for TikTok?
Check out a TikTok of the foaming mask in action.
Promising review: "I love this stuff! I received some for a gift and then purchased it for my daughter from Amazon. It feels like a clay mask going on, and then starts bubbling and turns to a thinner substance when it's done. I feel like it is very gentle on my face. My skin feels amazing after I wash it off. It feels like I used moisturizer, even though I did not. I hear that these masks are very popular in Japan." —L. Shea
Get it from Amazon for $7.24 (available in packs of one, two, and three).
Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with two-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).
9. And some SKIN1004 Zombie Pack Face Masks will make them (briefly) look like their fave kind of horror movie monster while it goes to work tightening pores and minimizing the appearance of wrinkles.
Promising review: "This really works. I am always skeptical of products I buy online because you can't be sure who is posting reviews but I will say that this mask does what it says it will do. I will definitely purchase again." —JEaston
Get a box of eight masks from Amazon for $24.

10. A cult-favorite ~secret~ popcorn salt for a super snacker who always complains about microwave popcorn never stacking up to the movie-theater variety. We get it! You don't have to bring it up every time! (I've used this stuff and it's GREAT.)
I invested in one of these delicious cartons after reading my colleague Emma Lord rave about it. It's super salty, super buttery, and like, probably something you shouldn't eat every day. But boy is it a total TREAT.
Promising review: "I am a person who will make myself sick eating buckets of popcorn (I have no self control). This has by far been my favorite 'TikTok made me buy' item. My at-home popcorn is now my favorite thing to make and I don't need to go the theater for popcorn. Very much worth the purchase and this will last me such a long time." —S Martinez
Get it from Amazon for $9.45.
Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with two-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).
11. A bag of some "reindeer farts" that'll send anyone into a fit of giggles, regardless of age.
Bag of Farts Candy is a small biz specializing in, well, the obvious.
Promising review: "I won't lie, the whole reason I purchased this is because I knew that my kids would laugh at the name. However, I was really happy with how yummy the actual cotton candy in the bag was! The candy was fresh, and well packaged, and the product name got the laughs expected. Overall, I would say it's a bit expensive for what you get (though it was easily enough for me and two children to share), but would still recommend as a cute/silly gift for someone who would get a kick out of this type of thing." —Deb
Get it from Amazon for $8.95.
Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with two-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).
12. A LeapFrog 100 Words Book that'll interact with any eager-to-learn little one and teach them words in both English and Spanish! You love your friend's kid because they're your friend's kid. But at this point it's like a full-time job keeping up with the toys they already have.
Promising review: "My 1-year-old loves to touch the different animals and hear the book say their name and animal sound. He’s got a good vocabulary, but we’re working with him to encourage more and more words. His doctor recommended teaching him animals and the sound they make, so this is great to add to what we’re already doing. Great toy that is fun and also teaches. They learn through repetition — and this was just what I was looking for! I also love that this toy will grow with him. He using the name/sound mode right now, but is also has a mode that gives facts for when he’s older and also has Spanish! 10/10 recommend." —Jessica Grace
Get it from Amazon for $13.99.
Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with two-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).
13. A set of four claw clips can make getting their dirty hair outta their face THAT much easier. Or just make doing their hair period a total cinch.
Reviewers with all different hair types (curly, straight, thin, thick, etc.) love these clips!
Promising review: "I have worn these every day since I got them! They have a soft matte feel. The colors match the product photos perfectly. They have a good grip in my hair (I have collarbone-length, medium thickness hair, but a lot of it). I think these would work well for almost any length or thickness of hair, though. They are strong; you can tell because they take a bit of effort to open them at first. Bottom line, if you’re unsure if you should buy them, you should." —Samantha
Get them from Amazon for $8.99+ (originally $17.99+; available in 16 color combinations).
Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with two-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).
14. A plug-in color-shifting mushroom light for anyone whose IG aesthetic is extremely cottagecore and/or is extremely clumsy. Could def come in use en route to the bathroom in the middle of the night!
Check out a TikTok of the mushroom nightlight in action.
Promising review: "I LOVE this night-light. It's in my bathroom and is a lovely addition. It turns off the second the lights go on, which is nice because I don't have to worry about accidentally leaving it on. Super cute and the little itty-bitty lighting element does a good job lighting, just enough so I don't have to turn the main lights on in the middle of the night." —1Thand
Get it from Amazon for $6.48.
Shipping: Available on Amazon Prime with two-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).
15. A canister of Cadbury drinking chocolate for a cozy, sippable treat just begging to be enjoyed by a crackling fire...even if said fire is just a Yule log on a TV screen.
Promising review: "We drink this almost nightly and we do it year-round. When I die, cremate me and put me in a Cadbury Drinking Chocolate tin." —Majombaszo
Get it from Amazon for $7.13.
Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with two-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).

17. An 18-pack of super soft, scrumptious Magnolia Bakery banana pudding cookies that'll be about the next best, portable thing to getting their famous banana pudding straight from the source.
Magnolia Bakery is a small biz based out of New York City that you might've heard of thanks to Sex and the City. Yes their cupcakes (which Carrie and Miranda eat on the show) are good, but their banana pudding is LEGENDARY. I tried these cookies when they first came out and had to give some of them away to friends because I couldn't stop eating them.
Get them from Amazon for $18.
Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with two-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).
18. An adorable bookmark book tracker to keep track of all those tomes they blaze through now that it's nippier outdoors. And then when they're done, they can plant it and it'll turn into wildflowers!
19. A pound of cereal marshmallows so they don't have to pick out all the marshmallows out of shared boxes of Lucky Charms. Sigh.
Promising review: "Buying these charms was one of the best decisions of my life. The bag is twice the size of my head. The marshmallows are aesthetically pleasing and delicious. It's everything I ever wanted in a snack." —Amazon Customer

Get a 25-pack from Amazon for $8.14.
Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with two-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).
21. A pair of reading glasses can let them look at stuff while horizontal so whoever's in the living room can never truly tell if they're asleep or not. The gift that keeps on giving!
Promising review: "Bought these as a humorous stocking stuffer, and my husband actually uses them! He has neck issues, and he watches tv in the recliner using them. They look hilarious, but if they help him enjoy watching TV without neck pain, it is a win win! They are much higher quality than I expected for the price. I thought they would be flimsy, but they are actually very well made. I was impressed." —Laura S

22. A scenic wall calendar any animal lover with an appreciation for all facets of nature will adore.
Promising review: "Bought this for my brother for Christmas and he LOVES it. Only for those who don't mind a little gross humor. The landscapes in the pictures are beautiful and then there's the dog, somewhere in the picture, doing its business. Pretty funny. They also provide you with the dogs' names and a short bio. Very clever." —Nadeau

23. A motion-activated toilet light that I guarantee SOMEONE on your gift list will love. Their home is *clearly* missing throne lighting.
It fits on any toilet bowl, and has 16 colors, five brightness levels, and a 170 degree radius.
Promising review: "At first I thought that the idea of an illuminated toilet bowl was funny. However, given the choice of an illuminated toilet bowl, turning on the light, or missing, an illuminated toilet bowl is a great idea. This unit is much better than the first I used because there are no suction cups (which never stay attached) and it use AA batteries instead of AAA, and it has a five-level dimmer for middle-of-the-night eye comfort." —William D.

Fits in a standard wallet like a credit card. Has 11 functions, including can opener, bottle cap opener, four-position wrench, two-position wrench, butterfly screw wrench, direction ancillary wrench, knife edge, saw blade, screwdriver, ruler, and keychain hole (for easy attachment onto your gear).
Promising review: "These fit perfectly in your wallet or pocket and have gotten me out of a jam many times. There are 11 functions this card can perform and I have used eight of them so far with positive results. Whether it's opening a box, tightening a screw, or opening a bottle or can, this is a nice tool to have around. I bought these as gifts for everyone in my family and they all love them. No matter what your daily routine is, there will be a time when one or more of the tools functions will come in handy. I keep one in my pocket and one in my car at all times. It is always good to be prepared. These make a great gifts and you can't beat the price." —Dana Bradley

Surely I'm not the only one who keeps a note on their phone like this?!
Promising review: "Love this journal. Very cute convenient size (especially if you are someone who writes small, or doesn't have too too much to say) I really love the star system for coloring in with a pen. There are also prompts throughout the journal like 'favorite author,' 'books I want to read,' 'quotes to remember,' etc. The back asks you to fill out the saddest book, funniest book, literary character you'd date, and a few others." —River

Or both! They are *not* mutually exclusive IDs.

33. A candle wick trimmer to keep their luxury candles in tip-top shape to make them last.
Promising review: "It actually helps the candle last longer. Less black soot on the inside of the candle jar and discoloring the wax. Burns more evenly, safer less unruly flame shooting up. It's possible to get inside tall glass candle containers. I thought it might be an unnecessary foolish purpose, but I'm glad I have it." —Cathy Mc Carthy
