    2. A comprehensive masking kit to make mixing, applying, and removing masks a total breeze.

    3. An adorable cocktail kit because they should still enjoy top-shelf fun, even if you can't afford to give them top-shelf liquor rn.

    28. A pair of snazzy luggage tags for the person who spends all their cash on travel and has the well-worn luggage to prove it.

    29. A blueprint of the best ride at Walt Disney World. No, I will not hear about how the Californian counterpart is superior to this beautiful Dutch Gothic style. Can you imagine hearing them make this same argument? Then they would love this.

    30. A hammered metal bowl they'll assume you picked up for a pretty penny from a museum gift store.
