45 Gifts That Are As Beautiful As They Are Useful

Give 'em something real nice they'll actually get to use on the reg, thus reminding them that you are the best gift-giver ever. So really, that marble-print AirPods case is like an investment in your future.

1. A marble AirPods case in a range of gorgeous colors but will not also dispel the mystery of whose is whose in your household. It's really pretty. Do you agree?

2. 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.

3. An outta-this-world paperweight that'll help them zero in on the right document while they're roving their desk for that *certain* stack of papers.

4. A copper string of lights to shed some ethereal light on most anything.

5. A luxurious candle in a gorgeous container they can reuse after they've burned through the scent.

6. 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.

7. And a candle wick trimmer to keep that luxury candle in tip-top shape to make it last.
