1. Essence Cosmetics Princess False Lash Effect Mascara makes for a super dramatic before and after. Because lash extensions won't fit in a stock but this will!
Promising review: "Don’t let the price fool you. I reach for this over and over. Great for when you wear falsies too! I have sensitive eyes and I don’t have any problems with this mascara, no flaking, running, or burning. I will buy again and again." —Monica

2. 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

3. A "flossing toothbrush" with two layers of bristles that'll be a serious step up from the regular brushes you normally slip in their stocking. It has regular firm bristles PLUS longer ones that are ten times thinner to *really* get in between teeth and gums, mimicking flossing. Psst, it's also safe for sensitive teeth.
Mouthwatchers is a small business by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans — which are great for targeting stuff often missed with traditional brush and floss routines.
Here's what BuzzFeeder Stephanie Hope has to say about them: "Growing up, I was the absolute worst at flossing and brushing my teeth. It was so bad, I ended up developing periodontitis, which is inflammation of the gums caused by a build up of bacteria. It causes your gums to separate and recede from your teeth. It's pretty bad. Well, now I obviously go to the dentist regularly, but still struggle to floss my teeth as often as I should. These toothbrushes are such a game changer for me! The bristles at the tip are sooo tiny, I can literally feel them cleaning between my teeth. My gums get red easily if I don't floss enough, and ever since I started using this twice a day, they're no longer red! They look so healthy, and I truly feel like I'm actually getting a good cleaning, compared to other manual toothbrushes. It's gentle enough for my sensitive gums, but gets in deep to prevent plaque. I'm obsessed!"

4. A 12-pack of water bottle-cleaning tablets to make sure everyone's go-to container actually gets cleaned. (Cleaning water bottles is hard!)
Promising review: "I wasn't sure if this was a gimmick or not. Turns out it works really well. I have four metal thermos-like containers that are used to keep tea warm every day. Over time, the tea stained the insides and was very difficult to remove. I added one of these tablets to the container, filled it with hot water, and let it sit for a few hours. When I came back to rinse it out, I was literally amazed at how clean it was. I think it looked cleaner than when they were new. I called my wife over to show her, and she was equally impressed. Awesome product!" —Robert A Moreno II

5. A zombie face mask will makes them (briefly) look like a zombie while it goes to work tightening pores and minimizing the appearance of wrinkles. Perhaps a perfect gift for the horror *and* beauty obsessive.
Promising review: "This really works. I am always skeptical of products I buy online because you can't be sure who is posting reviews but I will say that this mask does what it says it will do. I will definitely purchase again." —JEaston
Get a box of eight masks from Amazon for $25.
Shipping info: Will arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).
6. A reusable roller dog hair remover that'll have them tossing their old sticky roller after you see how much fur this reusable one (it has a sturdy brush system) picks up off your beloved couch that both you and your dog basically live on.
Promising review: "I have a golden retriever and the shedding is out of control. My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair and I finally decided to try this after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie, this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before and after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly and everything he says is true, you do really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back and forth movement! However, I find it's a great arm workout and it works wonders." —Joanne Ertel
Get it from Amazon for $24.95.
Shipping info: Will arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).
7. A genius humidifier tank cleaner can help look after that lil' machine that's saving their skin this season. This cartridge "swims" around the water tank, helping inhibit the growth of buildup for up to 30 days.
Promising review: "Just drop this in your humidifier and it keeps the water pretty darn mildew and mold free. Super easy to use, no smell, and safe. I have already repurchased and given a few to other people as well." —Kristine

8. A Star Wars Light Saber chopsticks set because they can't stop sending you TikToks of Grogu speaking as Jasper.
Promising review: "I purchased these for a friend's birthday present (he is a sushi waiter) and these are flippin' AMAZING. I ordered two sets by mistake, but I am totally keeping the second pair for another gift (or for myself!). These are sure to be great conversation pieces and attention-getters. Way to go!" —T.

9. Indoor plant food spikes to turn their plant bb's frown upside down...and theirs too!
It's recommended to change the spikes every 30 days during the spring and summer months!
Promising review: "I have several houseplants that had stopped flowering, so I put a few of these spikes in the pot (there are directions on the back of package for quantity), and approximately a month after using these spikes, my peace lily had three flowers on it, and my African violets plants all got several blooms on them! This worked wonders for my plants that don't flower also! I noticed that my ivy and cactus plants started growing faster, and they became more green and healthy looking. I am very happy with this product, and I will buy it again." —Elizabeth

10. Butterfly-shape sticky traps that'll look cute while they ensnare fungus gnats, fruit flies, plus other nuisances that are wreaking havoc on houseplants.
Promising review: "I purchased a bunch of indoor house plants during quarantine and now I have a bunch of fungus gnats in my house due to the plants. These sticky traps have worked very well for me catching the gnats. I was a little skeptical at first but this product does help the problem." —Robert

11. 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.
Reviewers with all different hair types (curly, straight, thin, thick, etc.) love these clips!
Promising review: "I have worn these every day since I got them! They have a soft matte feel. The colors match the product photos perfectly. They have a good grip in my hair (I have collarbone-length, medium thickness hair, but a lot of it). I think these would work well for almost any length or thickness of hair, though. They are strong; you can tell because they take a bit of effort to open them at first. Bottom line, if you’re unsure if you should buy them, you should." —Samantha
Get them from Amazon for $8.99+ (originally $17.99+; available in 16 color combinations).
Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with two-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).
12. A three-in-one foldable magnetic wireless charger that's compact enough for a plane seat tray or nightstand to keep their precious devices (iPhones, AirPods, and Apple Watches) powered and go, go, going. Plus, this'll also easily fit in their pocket!
See it in action on TikTok here.
Promising review: "I use this product to charge my iPhone 13, AirPods, and Apple Watch. Prior to this 3-in-1 compact purchase, I have purchased three different kinds of 3-in-1 chargers — I frequently travel between school and home with carry-on bags on airlines and all of the previous stand version chargers doesn't fit well in my bags or I am always worried I would break. This is compact and folds so well that I can fit in my carry-on or in any zipper pockets without having to worry about breaking anything. Charger works really well and it is the best compact one you can find in market. Love it and been using it for two months now and no issues!!" —SBREDDY

13. A set of affordable, highly popular wireless Bluetooth earbuds some reviewers compare to AirPods for significantly cheaper.
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).
I also use these on the reg in my everyday life to listen to Spotify and podcasts, and even talk on the phone. I have to charge them about once a week and always keep them in my coat pocket.
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

14. 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.
Promising review: "I cannot say enough about these patches! They are my skin savior! I actually gave myself a facial where I pushed up all the blackheads and whiteheads from my pores, which is why there is so much puss on the patches (gross, I know), but I couldn’t believe all of that was trapped in my skin!! Woke up and removed the patches, not a single pimple! If I would've not put these on, guaranteed I would have woken to multiple pimples in the area. I usually break out when I try to exfoliate and extract, so I only do it when my pores start to look huge and filled (yuck). I am now a true believer, leave the 'spot treatment' creams and switch to these! They will pull out that white head and reduce your pimple to practically nothing overnight! And it’s safer than a cream that just brings all that gunk to the surface but doesn’t actually remove it... then when you do your left with an oozing pre-scar for the rest of the day! I am now a monthly subscriber. I will never use anything else. In fact, just ordered the XL acne patches to pull out more gunk on my forehead (live in Arizona, constantly sweating and naturally oily). Thank you for making such a great product!!" —jennifer9

15. 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.
I have this lighter and use it on the daily!
Promising review: "This is seriously the coolest device of my winter holiday. It makes lighting candles a breeze. Yes, there is a weird crackling noise, but that's a super minor annoyance. It's a super intuitive device. Plus the lighter with the USB (included), charge for a bit, then pop it open and light ALL THE THINGS; well, candles. I don't know how well it lights cigarettes or whatever. However, for my personal intended use, it's awesome!" —Jee W

16. A red wine stain remover that can work on soooo many other stains too.
Promising review: "Totally impressed! The unassuming generic packaging and label left me a bit skeptical but this stuff is almost as exciting as the wine I spilled! This Cabernet stain sat on my ivory faux fur blanket for over a month before I tried this product. Completely gone in one try! Get this. Seriously. You won’t be disappointed." —PersianTess

17. 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

18. A shampoo bar for the person who's already sworn to live a zero-waste life in 2024. Or realistically, cut down a bit of plastic use. Or even more realistically, cut down on single-use plastics for their toiletries.
Promising review: "I love this shampoo. I have coarse naturally curly hair and it controlled my frizz! I washed it on a Tuesday and didn’t rewash it again until Saturday and had no frizz! My hair felt light and clean. I just ordered the conditioner bar to go with the shampoo." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $16 (available in eight formulas).
BTW, if you have curly hair I used their curly shampoo and conditioner on vacation this summer and my hair looked great for tons of pics!

21. 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.
Promising review: "I worked several years in a fine jewelry store that sold this product. We used the Dazzle Stik from time to time to add a quick shine to merchandise that was just tried on and on days our jeweler was not there to professionally clean items. I was always impressed with the instant shine the diamond stick provided. The brush tip is very helpful for getting under the stones and in the setting where gunk builds up reducing that brilliant shine. I recently got engaged and immediately purchased a Diamond Dazzle Stik of my own. It's the perfect way to quickly give my ring some shine before leaving the house. You simply brush, rinse, dry and go. I don't feel this product replaces the need to professionally clean your jewelry every now and then, but it does help with the maintenance of that new shiny sparkle." —Amazon Customer

22. A rechargeable hand warmer with double-sided heat and three different heat settings because their feet and hands are always freezing.
Psst — this is USB rechargeable, and you can even use a power bank or your phone to charge it!
Promising review: "This hand warmer is amazing! My hands are constantly cold and I've tried all sorts of products to help keep them warm but nothing has worked until now. I charge the hand warmer every night with a standard USB charger and the next day, I have hours of warmth. The three temperature settings are very helpful — I use the highest setting when I'm outdoors for long periods of time and the lower settings when I'm indoors (e.g., sitting at my desk or in a cold movie theater). I've already given hand warmers as gifts to several cold-handed friends and family members and they're loving it as well. I hope Ocoopa comes out with a foot warmer next!" —Riva Kupritz

Promising review: "OMG, this milk frother makes my homemade latte taste like it was made by a barista. It was perfect. So perfect that I bought a second one for my brother who loves coffee to use. I've already recommended it to some coworkers. It has changed my coffee-drinking life. This comes highly recommended." —Michelle Pirestani

26. 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.
Made from aircraft grade aluminum for superior strength and portability. Includes six ink refills.
Promising review: "I use it every shift at work as a firefighter/medic. It clips on the inside of my turnout pants and stays put. It's solid and has withstood training, EMS calls, and structure fires for six months now. Any other pen would break in my pocket. I write patient info with it on EMS calls. I've broken out vehicle windows with it with ease. It works better than a window punch and is easier to deploy because of the clip. Others were impressed with its quick deployment and it looks like I'm breaking windows with just my gloved hand. The ink recently started to fade and I replaced the cartridge with no problems." —Qpounderwidchz

It has been a miracle for me, I’ve tried all kinds of supplements they help but this actually works better for me. Also had a virus and used one to cool me down and help with fever.

35. 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!
Promising review: "He wouldn’t let me take a good picture LOL. But my son has really thick and curly hair, no brush would be of much help with it. They would pull out his hair no matter how I brushed it. He would scream from the time he seen me coming with the brush until I was done. This brush has helped soooooo much. He will sit and watch TV every night while I brush through his hair and not mind it at all. The way the brush is designed and separates it don’t pull out his hair I love it and he loves it he even brushed his own hair with it. I definitely recommend this brush for anyone with thick curly hair!" —Danielle Beller

36. Mini screwdrivers that'll become indispensable in their tool kit for eyeglasses, appliances, and lots of other essential bits.
My dad gave me a similar set a few years ago and I probably use this more than anything else in my (rather large) tool bag. Includes six magnetic mini screwdrivers.
Promising review: "This is a great set of small, precision screwdrivers. Maybe they aren't small enough to dismantle the innards of your watch, but they are perfect for the small screws I so often encounter on appliances, computer cases, small electronics, etc. This set will replace a cheap set I purchased last year (and it didn't last). This tool set is in a quality built case that has a sliding latch to keep it closed. I really like the hard anodized finish and the tool shafts and ends appear to be quality steel. The different colors help me to find the one I want. These are a great product at a great price. They arrived quickly and were well package for shipment. I may even give some as gifts to my friends who are tool geeks!" —Seacidal

Promising review: "This was meant to be a stocking stuffer for my husband at Christmas and as a 'gadget guy' he loved it. It satisfies so many 'little jobs' when your 'tool belt' is not available. He carries it in his truck. His brother also loved it, so had to get one for him, too. They are very inexpensive. In fact, everyone would be well served to have one handy." —clothesmaven

45. 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.
I own a pair of these and they're super comfortable, unlike other earplugs I've tried for concerts (I've been to lots of shows in my day). I wore my pair at an arm hair-shaking EDM show and can report back that they work SO well.
Promising review: "I have search for something like this for 10 years, because of my tinnitus I have not been able to go to concerts or even movie theaters. Thanks to your product I am able to enjoy my favorite pastimes including karaoke with my friends with out my ears ringing all night not allowing me to sleep. Yes I was able to just use a pice of wet napkin to protect my ears but it was all or nothing. Your filters allow me to enjoy sound without damaging my ears." —Amazon Customer

46. A pack of moldable glue they could use a million different ways around the house, from corralling wires to sealing cracks in rain boots to mounting hardware on tile walls.
Advanced silicone technology bonds permanently to almost anything, then sets strong by turning into a durable, tactile silicone rubber overnight. Bonds to glass, ceramic, wood, metal, most plastics, and more. Forms a strong bond, and allows you to mount and hang things without drilling. Holds up to 4.4 lbs.
Promising review: "Got this as a gift for my gadget-crazy kids for their stockings. It was a HIT! A broken foot on the bottom of a new bathroom scale was replaced with one molded from this — and it was easy to shape well enough to maintain the level balance the scale required! Amazing stuff. Instructions are easy to follow, product it easy to use, and it works!" —A Mom

48. A beet and fresno hot sauce can doctor up most anything they already have at home. Condiments make the world go 'round.
Hot N Saucy is a woman-owned and NYC-based small biz that has some super flavorful sauce options.
I've had this sauce over eggs, with grilled chicken and just about everything else. It hasn't disappointed for anything! I'm somewhat obsessed with hot sauce and have five in my fridge at any given time but find myself reaching for this one often. The beet gives it a sweet twist and the fresno still gives it a bit of a kick that's not *too* hot. (Sometimes I like stuff that's too hot, but people who are OK with medium spicy would be happy with this.)
Get it from Hot N Saucy for $10.
49. A tub of O'Keeffe's hand cream as a serious dose of moisture for dry, cracked hands. Anyone who you do any hand-holding with will certainly appreciate the tactile improvement.
Promising review: "I have suffered from splitting and cracking fingers every fall and winter for years. I tried Eucerin, Lubriderm, and Gold Bond creams, but none seemed to relieve the splitting from reoccurring. I tried O'Keeffe's Working Hand Cream and within two-and-a-half days, the splitting and cracking were no longer a factor. Since using the cream, I have not suffered any more cracking or splitting. I am on a busy schedule and only use it at night when I go to bed. It says it's non-greasy but you can definitely feel a slick texture on your hands once applied. That's why I use it at night before bed when I don't have to open door knobs, touch smartphones, or shake hands. It has the texture of cake icing, goes on smooth and works into the skin quickly. It has no smell I can detect. I am so glad I found this cream, it has ended years of split and cracked fingers/hands." —T.H.

50. 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

53. A TubShroom anyone with tons of hair (like this writer) will appreciate sooo much. Seriously, they'll split their life between before and after TubShroom.
This little wonder fits inside of the drain and you can easily remove it and pull off hair at least once a week. You'll even enjoy how grossed-out seeing all that hair makes you!
Promising review: "I was skeptical, but for a few bucks I gave it a go. I'm lazy and I live with two ladies (who are also lazy). The tub drain doesn't get addressed nearly enough. I'd usually be the one pulling nasty balls of long hair out of the drain catch just so the tub would actually drain during a shower EVERY DAY. With this bad boy, once a week and you don't even notice a slow down in the drainage." —Jason

It's me. I spend too much time on my hair.
Promising review: "These are magic for me. I have medium-thick hair but A LOT of it. If I pull it back I always end up with a headache. I can go most of the day with my hair pulled back with these without having a headache. Winner!!!!" —smash
