1. An cutie octopus-shaped blackhead remover to exfoliate their skin, helping them deal with all sorts of blackheads, whiteheads, and clogged pores.
Promising review: "First time buying this and didn't know what to expect but I'm most definitely buying it again. My skin has never felt better and I have the most sensitive skin and I've had no issues at all." —Melissa
Get it from Amazon for $10.63.
Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with 2-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).
2. A set of LED light saber chopsticks they'll find every kind of excuse to use. Time to order sushi again!
3. A set of affordable, highly popular wireless Bluetooth earbuds in case they're still using their wired earbuds that came with their phone, rejecting the notion that they need to spend $100+ to fully enjoy their podcasts (SAME). Reviewers say they're even better than AirPods because they're waterproof and come with several silicone earbuds to get the perfect fit.
I am describing myself up there ^ because I've resisted getting AirPods (even though my colleagues say they're totally worth it!) because I could, for the price of a pair of AirPods, buy a flight to visit my family. So once I started seeing these pop up in our BF Shopping stories I knew I had to try them for myself! Since purchasing a mere week ago, I've used them for work calls at home, and listening to Spotify and podcasts on a plane and also on a train. The charging case is large enough so I won't lose it, but will still easily fit in my pocket. And as someone who is a bit tech-averse, I was able to link the Bluetooth extremely easily. Plus, I can comfortably wear them without messing up my hair or being incredibly obvious. Suffice to say, I'm glad I stuck it out for so long and got these super affordable dupes instead of the Apple AirPods.
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
Get it from Amazon $22.99+ (clip the "20% off coupon" on the product page for this price; available in five colors).
Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with 2-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).
4. A nail and cuticle oil anyone who's tough on their hands or DIYs gel manis (give those poor bbs a break!) will appreciate and come to swear by.
5. A tactical writing pen with a point that can break glass or serve as a weapon against an attacker if they need it to. This takes the pen being a sword to a whole other level. Hopefully they'll use it for writing considerably more often than breaking glass.
6. A set of four claw clips that'll make getting their dirty hair outta their face THAT much easier. Or just make doing their hair period a total cinch.
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 heated eye massager that has a resume longer than your CEO. It has five massage modes, a 15-minute timer, *and* Bluetooth music to make both their tired eyes and ears happy. Reviewers suffering from eye strain, headaches, puffy under-eye circles, and dry eyes, and insomnia say that this puppy is well worth the investment.
Promising review: "I saw this product on one of Amazon’s must-have TikTok videos and I knew I had to get it. It was so worth it — even though price may seem higher compared to other sellers, this is for sure a good investment piece. The quality is top notch, the strap that goes around your head is comfortable, and most importantly, the duration of each mode is long enough that it doesn’t interrupt your rest. I work a 12-hour night shift as a nurse and this technology has helped me get through the night easily.👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $69.99 (available in two colors).
Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with 2-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).
10. Slip-proof slippers with closed toes so they can scoot around inside on hardwood floors without pulling a Risky Business.
FYI, reviewers say it's a good idea to size up.
Promising review: "I LOVE these slippers. SO comfortable with the memory foam and warm. Love the thick rubber sole on the bottom, so there is no way you would slip. I bought these to bring to the hospital when I give birth, but I am wearing these all the time. My only complaint is that I wear a size 10 shoe. After reading some reviews that these run slightly small (I wear these with and without socks), I opted for the 11.5 size and so glad I did. They fit me perfectly. So, I would definitely size up!" —emily
Get them from Amazon for $23.50+ (available in women's sizes 5/6–11/12 and five colors).
Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with 2-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).
11. A bidet attachment — it could be just the thing for folks who use SO MUCH TOILET PAPER you can't believe.
12. A reinforced umbrella for making skies look blue, even when they're gray.
13. An odor-neutralizing candle that'll be better than ANY OTHER candles for folks who live in multiple pet households. Or non-pet people who just like to cook smelly food!
14. And Poo-Pourri — it can APPEAR like a gag gift but will turn out to be the most useful thing in a bathroom (aside from toilet paper and indoor plumbing). Did someone say "stocking stuffer?"
15. A 12-pack of water bottle-cleaning tablets to make sure everyone's go-to container actually gets cleaned without throwing out an elbow. If cleaning is their thing — like REALLY their thing — they'll adore this.
16. A polyurethane foam sponge that'll inhibit all the gross stuff sponges collect and prevent weird smells. The pattern on it fades to let them know that it's time for a sponge switch out. If they're always telling you about every new cleaning product they're trying out this week, this would be great to slip into their stocking!
Skura Style is a small biz founded by BFFs Alison and Linda and inspired by their self-professed inner neat freak tendencies.
Promising review: "I bought this product on a whim 'cause I liked the colors and design…little did I know that it would prove to be a kitchen savior too. My husband is the chef of the family, and although his dinners are grand, he cuts beets on the breadboard and makes a mess on the stove top. Skura to the rescue…even the beet stains are gone now, and my stove top is sparkling. And, unlike my old sponge, this sponge doesn't smell bad. I plan to buy a stash to bring as hostess gifts. Highly recommend for anyone who likes a clean house." —Amazon Customer
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $14.99.
Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with 2-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).
17. A MakeupEraser cloth to help them take off a full face without using tons of disposable cloths or ruining their nice washcloths. I should know, I swear by these things!
18. A tangle-taming brush any parent with a kid full of hair will love you for gifting because it'll turn the post-bath chore into something possibly even pleasant?!?! (But adults will appreciate it for themselves, too!) And in case you're wondering, reviewers with 4c hair love it!
19. A pair of vegan Dr. Martens boots that'll be a bit easier to break in than leather ones (at least according to my sources). Oh, and they go with everything. EVERYTHING. So they can basically wear them forever and always. Maybe except to the beach.
20. Phonesoap, a gadget you've seen on Shark Tank that'll charge their phone *and* sanitize it at the same time. It also works for any item you can fit inside, like reading glasses!
21. A budget monthly tracker that'll work in their Google sheets in case they like to keep it digital, are trying to be better about paying attention to where every (digital) penny goes.
22. A wood polish and conditioner to leave them with *such* impressive results, that I threw in not one, but TWO before and after pics to show you what it can handle. You're welcome. Even the laziest DIYer will love this.
23. A *buzzy* electric toothbrush – it won't break the bank and their dentist will be very glad you bought it for them. I have one for travel and adore it.
24. And a water flosser for anyone who has braces, crowns, or who just really hates flossing but is tired of being on the receiving end of their dentist's wrath.
25. A cleaning pen to *gently* revive the look of their jewels. This is an amazing cheap but useful gift for any newly engaged person rocking a rock.
26. A memory-foam cushion for anyone whose rear could use a real treat. So, arguably, everyone.
27. A brown sugar saver disguised as an adorable terra-cotta bear that baking fiends *might* be sad they didn't know was a thing 'til now.
28. Blue-light-blocking glasses that'll help lessen eye strain for someone who looks at a computer screen all day... and then scrolls through Instagram for an hour before bed every night. (It me!) They won't need a prescription to wear 'em but they *will* have to tell passersby where they got 'em. The public deserves to know!
29. A 20-inch snow thrower for doing the difficult job of clearing a pathway because maybe you won't be in town the next time they get a couple of feet. (Pssst, this would make a great group gift!)
30. Gorgeous measuring cups to not only look lovely in Insta flat lays, but that will also come in handy with their hook-able handles, and etched measurements that won't fade in the wash.
31. A luxe-looking blanket they can use to protect their couch from the dog, or just snuggle up in for some serious winter hibernation!
32. Or if they'd never pay $100+ for a blanket but admire the luxury ones from afar, a plush blanket reviewers swear by as the ultimate Barefoot Dreams dupe will have them feeling nice and toasty.
Promising review: "I saw this blanket on TikTok and I have to say I absolutely love it. I washed it several times now and it’s maintained its elasticity and softness after each wash. It’s warm enough but not too hot for a throw. Absolutely recommend this blanket!" —Amy
Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in 10 styles and two sizes).
Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with 2-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).
33. Some wool dryer balls to be a wonderful effective alternative to fabric softener sheets or liquid that can cause some serious buildup on machines.
34. A Dyson Ball toy vacuum that'll ACTUALLY suck up things. OK it won't work as well as the full-fledged adult version but talk about a practical addition to the toy arsenal. If your fave kid has to "help" with the chores, this'll be a practical gift.
35. A barista-approved cold brew maker — it could help them cut down on their Starbucks habit. So really, win-win.
36. Death Wish Coffee (yep, that's the name!) anyone who loudly and proudly talks about how they can never get enough coffee will be intrigued by and adore.
37. Or if they're a lil' less extreme, a coffee subscription delivered right to their door so they can stay deliciously caffeinated as the universe intended.
38. Dishwasher-safe spoon rests for the chef who's tired of waiting on the wash cycle for a novelty spoon rest to be ready for saucy messes once again.
39. A kitchen scale with measurement conversions any baker or meal prepper extraordinaire will find themselves using on the reg.
40. A 3-in-1 plant moisture meter to help them take better care of their plant babies, whether they're a plant newbie or a seasoned pro.
41. Butterfly-shape sticky traps that'll look cute while they ensnare fungus gnats, fruit flies, plus other nuisances that are wreaking havoc on houseplants.
42. An 8-quart, 11-in-1 Instant Pot that (drum roll) AIR FRIES too! This'll replace so many appliances in the kitchen — it also pressure cooks, sautés, steams, slow cooks, sous vides, warms, roasts, bakes, broils, *and* dehydrates with minimal effort, since the settings are right there on the control panel for you. Did I mention it's very user-friendly?!
43. Slow-cooker liners could be the perfect companion gift for the IP. Or be a total lifesaver for anyone who uses the appliance on the reg.
44. A water filtration straw that'll lighten their water load on remote camping or hiking trips. OR just be the best thing any prepper gets for the holidays.
45. A large capacity rotating makeup organizer that'll help clear their vanity and keep them organized. (But really, it's mostly for your sake.)
46. Incredibly resilient socks because ones with an avocado print are great and all but they'll probably appreciate some with with a lifetime guarantee considerably more.
47. A red wine stain remover that can work on soooo many other stains too.
48. And on the flip side, some wine drops that are meant to cut down on the stuff that makes you have wine hangovers.
I've tried these before on some weekend friend getaways where we drank a LOT of wine and I think they really work! Just don't get overeager squeezing the bottle because then you can put way too much in your glass and make your wine taste weird. Yep, I did that and learned my lesson. Drop It recommends 1–2 drops for each glass of white wine, 2–3 for a glass of red, and 7–9 if you're treating the whole bottle at once. Once it's in the glass, swirl lightly for 20 seconds, and you should be g2g!
Promising review: "I can finally drink wine again after years of abstinence! I used to get the most awful headache on just one glass of wine, it was so bad I just stopped drinking wine altogether, then I discovered these magic drops! I've only had them a couple of weeks but I have drank red and white wine totally headache-free! I even drank half a bottle of heavy red. These drops really are magic! I love that you get two bottles as well, one can stay in your purse and one at home. Brilliant!" —shelleymab
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with 2-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).
49. A rechargeable hand warmer with double-sided heat and three different heat settings because their feet and hands are always freezing.
50. An iced coffee holder if seemingly one of their guilty pleasures (aka one of the least practical things about them) is they drink iced coffee year-round. This'll let them text with abandon without suffering from condensation or having to google how to get cold brew out of a wool coat.
VIS Paradise Goods is a Florida-based Etsy stop established in 2021 that specializes in personalized and sustainable goods.
My colleague Emma Lord owns and adores this: "Psst — I own one of these myself and love it for the convenience of texting on the go! These even have a holder for a straw if you happen to get iced coffee or bubble tea and don't want to stick the straw into the drink just yet. I've found this to be very sturdy and easy to use, plus they're a fun conversation starter — people always want to know where I got it!"
Promising review: "This is perfect! I constantly have my hands full and now I can comfortably carry my coffee with me everywhere I go. I will be purchasing more!" —Erin
Get it from VIS Paradise Goods on Etsy for $13.22+ (originally $15.55+; available in five colors and 10 option designs).
Shipping info: Costs $4.23 to ship. Will arrive by Christmas.
51. A compact travel jewelry box that'll help any style obsessive keep their baubles in order.
52. A ~secretive~ brush where they can stash some cash as a little extra insurance both at home and on journeys.
53. Mini screwdrivers that'll become indispensible in their tool kit for eyeglasses, appliances, and lots of other essential bits.
54. A five-pack of wallet-size multitools anyone and everyone could use.
55. A tweezer keychain made for babes with long talons (the only not-practical thing about them) who've still gotta use their credit cards. This'll help them pull their card in and out as needed, and let them get on with their day.
56. Nearly invisible earplugs that'll reduce extra noise at concerts, loud events, and more! Anyone who plans their social life around music festivals needs a pair.
57. A "Bagnet," aka a magnetized purse hook-type thing that'll let them hang their purse on a metal bathroom stall, bar stool, or any other metal place so they don't have to put their nice bag on the floor. (ICK!)
Bagnet is a woman-owned small business that specializes in magnetic bag holders and handbags.
Check out a TikTok of the Bagnet in action.
Promising review: "This is the best bag holder ever! I was completely blown away, the magnet is SO strong. Works in so many places, in restrooms (try the hinges if the door isn't metal), at restaurants (on tables, chairs, even under the table), at the gym to hold my water bottle and keys so they don't end up on the floor. But my absolute favorite place to use it is on my car! I can attach it to the side of my car while I unlock it without having my hands full and leaving me vulnerable. If you have ever felt nervous trying to fumble with all your stuff while trying to unlock your doors in a dark parking lot, you need this! My only regret is that I didn't know about it sooner. I am going to get one for everyone in my life for Christmas. Any person who carries a bag should have one (or two). Seriously, it's life changing." —robert rodriguez
Get it from Amazon for $22.39+ (available in various colors).
Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with 2-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).
58. A four-pack of Starbucks gift cards you can split up and stick into stocking for people to tuck into their wallets for when they're out and about, yearning for some caffeine.
59. And an Amazon gift card to buy the toilet paper they're too embarrassed to put on their wish list.
