Still shopping for Christmas? Heads up that most of the items in this post won't arrive in time for Dec. 25, but check out our last-minute version of this gift guide with more ideas that are more likely to arrive in time!"
1. A 12-pack of water bottle-cleaning tablets to make sure everyone's go-to container actually gets cleaned. (Cleaning water bottles is hard!)
2. A five-pack of Disney princess socks because socks will forever be a useful gift. You know what's not useful? Cold feet!
3. Or a pair of yummy socks that, once you purchase them, provides meals to people during crisis with World Central Kitchen. Talk about a multi-tasking gift!
4. A red wine stain remover in a mini size that can work on soooo many other stains too.
5. And on the flip side, some wine drops that are meant to cut down on the stuff that makes you have wine hangovers.
6. A Bite Away gadget for treating insect bites and stings with a 3- or 5-second setting to help relieve itching, pain, and swelling. Where has this been my whole life with my sweet, sweet blood that attracts mosquitoes?
7. A shampoo bar for the person who's already sworn to live a zero-waste life in 2022. Or realistically, cut down a bit of plastic use. Or even more realistically, cut down on single-use plastics for their toiletries.
8. A deck of snazzy playing cards because everyone should have a good deck of cards on hand for traveling, passing the time, whatever!
9. Butterfly-shape sticky traps that'll look cute while they ensnare fungus gnats, fruit flies, plus other nuisances that are wreaking havoc on houseplants.
10. And a 3-in-1 plant moisture meter to help 'em better care for their plant babies, whether they're a plant newbie or a seasoned pro.
11. A Glossier Balm Dotcom trio so they can give this fan-fave a spin in a variety of flavors.
12. Clay mask sticks they can use to more or less draw on the part of their face they want to address instead of dirtying their hands.
13. A cleaning pen that'll *gently* revive the look of their jewels that they DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE have grown cloudy over time. Don't worry, it's made with micro-fine cleansers, polishing agents, and a polymer for a pro-level shine at the price of your morning coffee order.
14. A rechargeable hand warmer with double-sided heat and three different heat settings because their feet and hands are always freezing.
15. A milk frother to help them whip up all the delish coffee drinks they're always sending you on Instagram and TikTok.
16. A phone lamp to corral their phone's flashlight in times of need... even while camping!
17. A set of phone camera lenses they'll be able to use for amazing vacation photos that only *look* like they had to lug around hefty camera equipment to achieve.
18. Reusable dress weights to prevent your household's dress stan from having a Marilyn-like moment. It happens! But it doesn't have to happen.
19. A masked Dwight bottle opener to scare off other people from swiping one of their beers.
20. A tactical writing pen with a point that'll break glass or serve as a weapon against an attacker if ya' need it to. This takes the pen being a sword to a whole other level. Hopefully you'll use it for writing considerably more often than breaking glass.
21. A houseplant collection of bookmarks to help them keep their page in the books they just got for the holidays that they're reading all at once.
22. Silicone beer savers for keeping a six-pack of the good stuff fresh in case of emergencies.
23. Biodegradable bamboo toothbrushes for anyone who's trying to create a little less waste.
24. And coconut oil-coated floss to leave them scratching their head. But then they'll have squeaky clean teeth and that's more important.
25. A selfie ring light for finding their perfect light.
26. A compact travel jewelry box that'll help any style obsessive keep their baubles in order.
27. And some earring-lifting backs so they don't have to fight the droopy look while wearing their fave baubles.
28. 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.
29. A cooling towel that'll help anyone who finds themselves overheating — regardless of the reason.
30. A hair finishing cream on a mascara-like wand for helping slick back those baby hairs and flyaways before their next video conference call.
31. A ~secretive~ brush where they can stash some cash as a little extra insurance both at home and on journeys.
32. And a trio of mini Wet Brushes to help tame the wildest of tangles.
33. Or! A detangling brush made for folks with 3a–4c hair types who've more or less resigned to super painful brushing. As reviewers point out, it doesn't have to be the case!
34. Mini screwdrivers that'll become indispensible in their tool kit for eyeglasses, appliances, and lots of other essential bits.
35. Stainless-steel straws and a cleaning tool so their at-home iced coffee obsession won't create an island of plastic straws in the ocean. Also the steel just makes the coffee taste even colder!!
36. Or if they're into a more flexible solution, a 10-pack of silicone straws they can even cut to size for their to-go tumbler of choice.
37. An acne patch that'll be far gentler on their surrounding skin than drying spot treatments of yore. Hydrocolloid, tea tree oil, and calendula oil do the deed in drawing out fluids and pus with results you can see.
38. A five-pack of wallet-size multitools anyone and everyone could use.
39. A magnifying LED makeup mirror they can tuck into a bag and use to turn a flat surface into a vanity.
40. A dry shampoo any busy (or lazy) person will greatly appreciate for the extra sleeping time it'll buy 'em.
41. A three-pack of Tide To Go pens because they'll always be grateful they have one on them.
42. A cheerful tea infuser to help feed a tea-lover's habit.
43. A spare pair of earbuds because these tiny things we rely on so heavily are incredibly easy to lose and these can be their backup! AND these round jacks will fit into the ports on airplanes for those long-haul flights.
44. An earbuds holder so sharp, it won't be forgotten!
