Shop early and be sure to double-check the retailers’ websites for shipping information to ensure that your gift will arrive in time for the 25th!
1. A copy of Burn After Writing, a guided journal they've probably eyed 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

2. A marble AirPods case in a range of gorgeous colors that'll also dispel the mystery of whose is whose in your household. It's really pretty. Do you agree?
3. Or if they've been holding out on splurge-y AirPods (same, tbh), a set of affordable, highly popular wireless Bluetooth earbuds that are pretty, just so happen to be fully waterproof, come with several sizes of earbuds so they'll get a comfy fit. AND I just so happened to buy some of these for myself.
These come with a wireless charging case that provides up to 14 hours of charge (with the earbuds able to play for four-plus hours with each full charge).
Promising review: "Best decision! These are the greatest headphones ever! I saw them on TikTok months ago and added them to my wishlist. I got a new phone that doesn't have the headphone port so I decided it was time to finally buy them. They are amazing and I probably won't ever take them out of my ears! 😂" —Katlyn D Arnold

4. Some super soothing eye patches I personally use and love. They're great for travel and when I use them at home I pop them in the fridge for a few minutes before I use them.
5. A geometric tray they can use to elegantly park the day's jewelry so it doesn't get lost in between walking in the door and putting away everything from the day.
6. A flannel-scented candle as a seasonal delight to make your host's home feel so warm and cozy (even on the day after the party when they've gotta clean up).
Sweet Water Decor is a woman-owned small business based in Pittsburgh making candles and other home goods. Each candle is hand-poured using American-grown soy wax.

7. A rechargeable lighter for the candle fiend who also can't get enough gadgets (two things can be the truth at once!). Lighter fluid? I don't know her.
8. And a candle wick trimmer to keep that luxury candle in tip-top shape to make it last.
9. A plug-in color-shifting mushroom light whose IG aesthetic is extremely cottagecore...and they're also 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

11. A picturesque Bundt cake pan to produce the most ~magical~ powdered sugar-dusted forest.
12. An Always Pan that comes with a nonstick surface, vented top, mesh basket for steaming, and high-quality spoon that hooks onto the handle — they'll wanna leave it out on their stovetop for ~aesthetics~ but also because they'll use it all the time. I leave mine out all the time for both reasons!
13. A set of storage scrunchies that'll help them skip bringing along a bag and just keeping the necessities at their wrist.
See them in action on TikTok here!
Promising review: "BUY IT! You won't regret it. Honestly, this is the coolest thing I’ve bought on Amazon. I hate purses, so being able to stash my money, lip gloss and my car key in my scrunchie is a GAME CHANGER! 10/10 would recommend. Also, the elastic is super strong, so no droopy ponytails, even with all my little items inside!" —Aubree T
"These are brilliant. Very nice quality!! I will buy them again and again!!" —Rebekah

14. A lotus incense burner they'll put to use by finally wafting their way through that bundle of incense sticks you found at that boutique for a steal.
15. An enchanting glass essential oil diffuser and humidifier to help scent their space and fight of winter indoor dryness.
Check out a TikTok of the diffuser in action.
Promising reviews: "It’s beautiful!! Best oil diffuser I’ve ever had. Everyone is asking me where I got it at. Gives off a lot of mist, makes my whole room smell wonderful, and it’s a great conversation piece. Highly recommend it." —Danielle Martinez

17. A rose quartz massager and roller perfect for giving themselves a pampering face massage with their holy grail face oil.
18. A dashing cocktail book packed with delicious recipes and beautiful illustrations that'll help 'em learn how to whip up some fancy drinks at home. Think of all the money saved!!!
19. A flock of bird cocktail glasses in case your gift recipient really goes all out when hosting (or is always mixing up all sorts of delish cocktails and sharing them with social media).
20. A keyboard cover as some insurance for anyone who's always sipping coffee at the computer.
21. Some minimalist magnetic bookmarks that'll look dang good on the page while being a bit gentler on the page than other metal or plastic bookmarks.
22. A jute basket large enough to help corral kids' toys or dirty clothes.
23. A cuticle oil that'll do their personal beauty counter, cuticles, and skin good.
24. A gorgeous velvet headband for an easy accent on those days when their hair's a day too dirty but they couldn't resist the appeal of the snooze button.

26. A five-pack of washable mesh shopping totes for a très chic solution to them always having to pay for a plastic bag. I own one and can vouch that these beauts ball up into very little space but have some Mary Poppins-like capabilities.
27. A snazzy bottle opener because you used their poor excuse for a bottle opener at their last party and it wasn't pretty.
28. A scratch-off world map they can use to plan their next trip and satisfyingly scratch off their bucket list countries. It'll look gorgeous on the wall and serve as some great inspo for saving up for that vacation instead of ordering from their fave neighborhood joint three times a week.
29. A botanical shower curtain because perhaps they've tried and failed at caring for bathroom-friendly plants. (Relatable.)
30. A fashionable wrist watch they'll assume was on Oprah's faves for the year because it looks *that* fancy. (Psst, it wasn't.)
31. A scratch-off holographic notes set you two can use to leave lil' notes for each other.
32. A faux-fur throw blanket — it'll help cozy up any sitting spot.
33. A 20-pack of snazzy hair clips to amp up a major case of bedhead or lend a hand for when those bangs they talked themselves into need to grow out.
34. A trio of glitzy ballpoint pens so it'll be so much easier for them to find a pen in their purse when they need one.
35. A six-pack of scarf scrunchies for a one-and-done task of putting up their hair and adding a glam touch even if they have to do some REAL math to figure out the last time they washed it.
36. An activity baby chair — they'll be sad to put it away once their baby has outgrown it.
37. A splurge-y Caraway whistling tea kettle that you could also very well benefit from if you live together or are always over having a cup of tea.
I own this beaut in the dark blue and it looks gorgeous sitting on my kitchen stovetop. As a French-press user who consumes a worrying amount of coffee, I use main daily and it seems to get whistling faster than other kettles I've had in the past. It's sturdy and sleek, and I can tell it's going to be a keeper for a *very* long time.
Get it from Caraway for $195 (available in six colors).
Shipping info: Ground shipping usually takes between 2-4 business days to deliver once processed.
38. A bundle of fresh eucalyptus to hang up in their shower to provide some luxe-feeling aromatherapy when it teams up with their shower steam. Also it just LOOKS nice.
It's put together and sold by Eucalyptus Blooms, a small woman-owned shop based in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Promising review: "Exceeded my expectations!!! I received my bundle quickly and it was packaged well. Very fragrant and I appreciated the hook that was included with the bundle to hang it right in my shower. I am definitely enjoying the aroma of eucalyptus as I shower." —Mcjunkinst
Get it from Eucalyptus Blooms for $13.44+ (available in three sizes and bundles).
Shipping info: Ships for free, will arrive by Christmas.

40. A faux-sheepskin rug they can throw on a chair seriously lacking in comfort, at the foot of their couch, or in a number of spots!
41. A travel belt to help your fave frequent flyer easily secure their personal item (aka, a large purse or backpack) to the top of their rolling bag. See, getting through airport security *can* be a cinch. (Sorry.)
The travel belt is adjustable to 38 inches to fit most bags. The belt itself is vegan leather with elastic accents and a quick-release buckle.
Cincha Travel is a small business in California that develops adjustable travel belts made out of vegan leather. The brand donates 100 airline miles for each purchase, which are used to reconnect separated migrant families.
Promising review: "I came across this belt on social media and knew I needed it! I travel often for work with this suitcase and bag. This belt makes it SO much easier! It frees up my hands to carry other things. Such a simple idea with a big impact. Highy recommend!" —Julie
Get it from Cincha Travel for $40 (available in 15 colors, can be monogrammed for an additional $15).
42. And if you're feeling very generous, the complete Haus Labs Casa Gaga collection (yep like Lady Gaga) inspired by classic Italian beauty and her beauty looks in the House of Gucci film.
