1. A hands-free (rotating!) phone mount designed for use on all airlines — not only can they mount it to the tray table, but to the arm of a chair or any flat surface, so they'll be able to stream content easy as pie.
Promising review: "I bought this nifty gadget about six months ago for a multi-leg, ultra long haul trip and it more than held up the entire duration. I was able to finagle it to fit the tray tables on different planes and like others, I find the height just nice when clamped onto a stowed tray table. It also works on my roller carry-on handle during layovers. However, I find myself using it a lot outside of travel too! Work-wise, I've clamped it onto my office desk shelving to hold my phone at eye level beside my computer. At home, I simply clamped it to a deck of cards and it turns into a versatile stand that I can place on any flat surface. Heck, I've been using it to hold my phone comfortably at eye level while watching videos in bed. It's extremely well-built and I find myself fidgeting with it all the time. Thus far it still feels solid and I don't anticipate breaking it any time soon. Even if it does break, I'll be happy to buy another one or two of it!" —Earendil

2. A percussion massage gun to give their muscles the kind of love that will make them involuntarily moan from the decadence of it all. (Psst — a lot of reviewers swear by this for everything from chronic pain management to relieving sore post-workout muscles to a way to relax tension at the end of the day.)
3. A pair of wireless sleep headphones that will play white noise or the music of their choice in a comfy headband, letting them enjoy calm of it all night long.
Promising review: "Oh my goodness! Where has this been all my life?? Just a couple of days ago I was trying to sleep with earbuds in. I would wake up every time I moved because they were hard and hurt my ears. But THESE wireless headphones are the best! I can turn over in bed freely and it doesn't wake me up. I have trouble getting to sleep and staying asleep. Now I can play sleep videos which help drone me to sleep and keep me asleep. The only drawback is that while I love the material it can be a little warm in the middle of the night. I LOVE THEM!!" —Godsinger

4. A five-year One Line A Day journal so your friend who keeps starting journals and then abandoning them will finally find something that sticks — one line a day is *super* low commitment (and imagine how satisfied they'll be looking back every year!).
5. Or a copy of The Book of Myself: A Do-It-Yourself Autobiography in 201 Questions that's perfect for any stage of life, if your friend is already a hardcore journaler and wants to take it to the next level.
6. A flexible universal tablet stand so they don't have to crane their neck or tire out their arms just to marathon reruns of Parks and Rec in peace.
7. An oh-so-satisfying 1,000-piece Mystic Maze puzzle you may have already seen on TikTok, where lovers of puzzles and magic lore are singing its praises. This whimsically-illustrated, colorful puzzle isn't just a puzzle, but a journey — there are over 50 Easter eggs in it, tons of miniature scenes full of optical illusions and surprises, *plus* a magical twist at the end. They'll have to solve the puzzle to find out!
You can check out a TikTok of the Mystic Maze puzzle in action (but warning, it will spoil the surprise!).
Promising review: "I bought this as a gift for my husband because he absolutely loves puzzles and magic, so it was a no-brainer! I was honestly way more excited to finish putting this puzzle together than a normal puzzle because I couldn’t wait to see the end result. Blown away. I’m super impressed and will be purchasing a different version. Oh, and they weren’t kidding about the no dust in the box...very pleased with this purchase!" —Nlbrimberry

8. A cocktail smoker set to up the flavor ante on their favorite whiskeys and bourbons (and even wine!). Reviewers especially love this kit because it's easy to use and doesn't require any additional wood chips to get the job done. Their cocktail game is about to be literal 🔥.
Busy Bee Cocktail Smokers is a veteran-owned, US-based small business that specializes in crafted cocktail kits.
Each kit comes with a cocktail smoker top (oak or cherry wood), whiskey stones, a torch, and recipe cards.
Promising review: "I’ve been looking for a cocktail smoker kit for some time now. Upon reviewing other competitors I settled on the Busy Bee kit. After my first use I was sold! This kit comes with everything you need to take your cocktail game to the next level!" —AL

9. A "White Paw" dog toy you're legally obligated to gift to anyone who has uttered the words "No Laws When You're Drinking Claws" regardless of whether or not they have a dog.
10. A wireless, Bluetooth-enabled karaoke mic they can sync with preeeeetty much anything, including speakers, players, or singing apps on their phone. Now they can live out their Ariana Grande fan fiction in the comfort of their own home.
Promising review: "You don't understand TikTok made me obsess over this microphone. As a 30+ year old woman I resisted purchasing it. I finally broke down and bought it because it was haunting me in my sleep. I'm so glad I did. When I am in a bad mood I start karaoke in my house and am instantly better. It has 'ruined' my teenage son's life because my performances can be heard through his XBOX microphone. This is a must have product." —Zane A. Undercoffer

12. Harry Styles: And the Clothes he Wears, aka a dangerous coffee table book to buy if you expect the recipient to do anything other than stare at it ever again. This book examines the evolution of Harry Styles' distinctive and bold fashion looks along with images of pop idols he draws inspiration from, plus quotes from designers.
The serotonin of the preview images ALONE is enough to buy this for your human self, JUST SAYING.
Promising review: "This is exactly as pictured and looks fantastic on my coffee table! I also love that it is so recent so HS Lot and Harryween are in there! 10/10." —Mariah

13. A pair of glowing light saber chopsticks to bring balance to The Force *and* to their sushi — whether they're repping the dark side or the light.
14. A Yonanas fruit soft serve maker that magics any frozen fruit into an ice cream or sorbet texture so they can have a yummy frozen treat made to their *precise* favorite fruit combos. A lot of folks with dietary restrictions swear by this to get their ice cream kicks!
Promising review: "I saw one of these in action at a friend's house like five years ago and thought it was just a made up memory, because making ice cream out of solely frozen fruit seems wild. But when I saw a TikTok about it I immediately went to Amazon and bought it. Literally this was the BEST decision of my life. I cannot believe still how amazing this thing is! It makes the creamiest, best tasting fruit ice cream ever. It’s easy to take apart and clean, and super easy to use." —DMCKAY

15. "We're Not Really Strangers," a revolutionary new card game to help you open up to your friends, family, or significant others and form stronger bonds with them. It involves three levels of cards with questions you use to get to know each other, with each level a little deeper than the last, plus "wild cards" and "dig deeper" cards to really break the surface. There are also two modes — "play safe" and "play to grow" — depending on how deep you want to dig with certain people or groups.
Check out a TikTok of "We're Not Really Strangers" in action.
We're Not Really Strangers is a US-based small business specializing in purpose-driven, relationship building card games to help foster human connection. You can check out the family edition, the couples edition, and the friendship edition for more specific options!
Promising review: "If you want a stronger bond with someone please play this game with them. You will get to know them on another level. I love how there’s levels to how deep you want to get with one another. Mostly every question is really interesting and can bring out one hell of a conversation, laughter, or even tears." —Khoa Tran

16. A truly iconic tortilla blanket so the Chipotle fan in your life will finally achieve the greatest aspiration of them all: becoming a human burrito.
17. A Saucemoto dip clip for the car to grant them the sweet, delicious freedom of dipping their fries into ketchup without wearing it all over their lap.
Promising review: "How did I go so long without one of these??? The Saucemoto was my first 'TikTok Made Me Buy It' purchase and I have no regrets. It clips easily to my car's vent and the sauce cups clip in easily so I can dip and drive. No more trying not to dump the sauce by accident while steering with the same hand that's holding the dip cup. It even comes with a dip cup for those places that do the pouches for their sauces rather than the cups. (I'm looking at you, Arby's.) Ya know, you end up squeezing the sauce onto the wrapper that's balanced on your lap and you end up getting some sauce on your steering wheel. OR you try the whole 'wrapper and sauce on the passenger seat and try to dip while watching the road,' which usually doesn't turn out so great." —Pleasure Pamela

18. An Oprah-approved (no seriously, it was on her 2021 list!) stuffed waffle maker you can gift to your breakfast-loving friend for the best waffle they'll ever have, whether they're biting into thick raspberry jams, a flood of warm Nutella, or even a cozy savory egg or meat.
Promising review: "What a fantastic invention! I have one on the camper and one at home. Easy to use and easy to clean!!" —Becky B

19. BYO Blush Oil, which is the ultimate in easy-to-use makeup because it practically does all the work *for* them — its color is designed to react to the pH of their skin, giving them a wholly personalized look without any extra work. TBH, it's no wonder this is one of their bestselling products.
Youthforia is an Asian woman–owned small business established in 2020 that specializes in environmentally friendly, cruelty-free makeup made with at least 90% renewable ingredients.
Fun fact: All of Youthforia's makeup is designed with ingredients that make it A-OK for your skin to sleep with it on!
Check out a TikTok of the BYO Blush in action.
I tried this out myself and I have to say, it is WILD watching it adjust to your skin's pH in real time. It was a very bright pink at first but super easy to spread — a bit like Glossier's Cloud Paint, except personalized. It's very long lasting, too — I applied in the morning and could still see a rosy glow by the end of the day.

20. Laneige's "Sweet Candy" Lip Sleeping Mask, a flavor of the cult-favorite treatment that will bring them straight back to their favorite '90s candies. This is made with vitamin C and antioxidants to help keep their lips so soft, hydrated, and happy that they'l take more selfies than their front-facing camera can prepare itself for.
Promising review: "I’m obsessed with buying products I see on TikTok, I was a little hesitant about this one due to the price. My lips get easily chapped, but never crack. I put it on, within seconds they felt like my usual lip balm does after apply it all day! I’m in love!" —Emma White

21. A set of floppy disk coasters to give the techie in your life some retro flair.
22. A solar-charged turtle statue with lil' succulents that glow in the dark so their front porch (and hopes and dreams??) will always be guarded by its adorable light.
Promising review: "It’s pretty in the daylight and adds a nice bright light to my patio. Bought one for my sister’s birthday and she put it on their garden path. The light is very bright. She loves it too. Highly recommend." —Jaxie

23. Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice: A Book-To-Table Classic, a hybrid book and cookbook that incorporates Martha Stewart's recipes based on the text within the actual story. The Austenite in your life will be over the moon (and hopefully cook for you once they come back down).
24. A stemless spillproof wine glass they'll play with like they've turned into a misbehaving cat — they can tilt this over any which way and it's designed to stay at an angle instead of toppling and spilling. It's like a party trick for clumsy people!
Promising review: "I LOVE this glass. I love the color, I love the quality, I love the size and I LOVE the different ways to sit it down." —Amber Ivey

26. A spooky skull-shaped ice mold for *that* friend. You know. The one on the 24/7/365 spooky beat.
27. A The Office door sign any fan of the show deserves to hang outside their home office area for authenticity's sake (after all, they miss 100% of the signs they don't hang).
Promising review: "I love The Office and love having a piece of it in my home office. Great little sign. Good quality and adhesion is strong. Highly recommend!!" —Bethie D.

28. A portable Chill-O-Matic Instant Beverage Cooler, aka every finicky cold bevvie drinker's DREAM. This gadget can take a 12-ounce can of seltzer, soda, or beer at room temperature and make it ice cold in just one minute. A lot of people who complain that their fridge doesn't make drinks "cold enough" also swear by this for an extra icy kick.
Check out a TikTok of the Chill-O-Matic in action.
Promising review: "I was so afraid of wasting money. But I didn’t. I love my sodas cold. But sometimes there’s not a cold one available, and waiting 30-40 min for one to get cold in the freezer is not always ideal. This will get your room temp can to fridge cold in 90 seconds. I let it run double that to get almost freezer cold. I wish it had a power cord. But I do appreciate the portability that the batteries provide. I can’t wait to try it out on vacationing, as access to cold sodas isn’t always available. All you need is a literally a little bit of ice." —G. Massey

29. A lil' reversible octopus plush that is, literally and figuratively, a Mood — they can prop this on their desk or somewhere in their home just to let everyone know how theyre vibin' (or even just to check in with themselves ❤️).
Also, these come in a TON of different colors and emotions (from angry to sad to, uh, murderous??), so you're guaranteed to find one to express yourself.
Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok like everyone else but I quickly realized, when I got one, how helpful this is to my family. Now they don't have to guess when they shouldn't bother me, they'll just KNOW. It's saving lives and it's adorable. The perfect thing. :)" —MCalms

30. A compact light therapy lamp thousands of reviewers swear by — this UV-free bb is helpful not just for people who need a little more light in their lives in the winter, but to help restore their natural circadian rhythms when the early darkness throws them off at night.
Promising review: "I have had chronic insomnia ever since I worked the graveyard shift at an old job and nothing helped — medication, meditation, exercise, etc, but this light has helped to reset my circadian rhythm and I'm finally getting to sleep quickly!! It does make me feel tired after using it for a short time but my physician has recommended I try using it longer than 30 minutes." —Jessica Fugate

31. Or a Hatch Restore sound machine, a gizmo that works overtime as a touch-controlled smart light, bedtime reading light, sunrise alarm clock, and — most importantly for the insomnia-prone out there — a wind-down light that helps them get into a healthier sleep routine at night.
Hatch Restore lets you personalize a "bedtime routine" for each night to train your brain to recognize sleep cues and get a better night's rest. Options include changing the light settings to more amber tones to help produce melatonin for sleep, soothing noise options, and sleep meditations and sleep stories you can get in the Hatch app.
Promising review: "This was the best thing I have ever found to help with my insomnia. I used to take hours to fall asleep and wake up multiple times a night. Now I rarely wake up in the night and fall asleep either during the guided meditation or just as the white noise begins. I love waking up gently and not to a blaring phone alarm, and I’ve been able to stop doomscrolling at night since I can keep my phone out of reach. Highly recommend!" —darcybear

32. An undetectable mouse jiggler for folks working at home who need to stay "active" on Gchat, Teams, or Slack and sometimes want to dash out to use the bathroom or walk the dog without doing the whole "BRB, BACK IN A BIT!!" song and dance every time they dare to get up from their desk.
Promising review: "Like everyone else, I stumbled upon this product because of a TikTok I saw. Setup was extremely easy and I'm pleased to say that my Teams green light is on all the time now. Workers of the world, unite." —Amazon Customer

33. A wine caddy for their bath tub to basically make your most extra friend feel like they're living inside an episode of Scandal, sans all the messy political drama and the effort of having to choose impeccable outfits every day.
34. A moon lamp perfect for that ~aesthetic~ friend who loves to spend Friday nights at home — this is the ultimate soothing, celestial vibe.
UMMMM I bought this because it was on one of Amazon's top selling products pages for so long that I was like "Why are people so obsessed with this moon!!" And now, my friends, I know. First of all, it really does look hyper realistically like a small moon and adds a chill vibe wherever you plant it. But it's also just so soothing to watch and have in the periphery. You can control dozens of different colors for it and either keep it on those colors or have them alternate, fade quickly, or fade gradually. It's super easy to charge and controlled by a remote, so you can move it off its stand and have it light up wherever you want. These days I tend to turn it on for my designed ~me time~ night every week, in which I will light a candle, pour a glass of red wine, read a romance novel, and, of course, light my lil' moon. Definitely one of my favorite "the internet made me do it" purchases.

35. A gift card for a "Nike By You" custom shoe so they can choose the elements of it all on their own. (Also a handy pro-tip if you're looking for a last-minute gift!)
36. A set of Barbie-themed martini glasses for anyone who took the words "come on Barbie, let's go party" not as a suggestion, but a hot pink, glittery mantra.
Promising review: "Regardless of age and/or relationship status I am always a Barbie girl. And to know there is stemware that can embody my passion, I’m in. Get these before they are gone. Drinking has never been more magnificent! I feel so chic and fabulous!!!" —Snowhite26

38. A plug-in color-shifting mushroom light for anyone whose little cottagecore heart could use an extra dose of cozy to calm them down.
Check out a TikTok of the mushroom nightlight in action.
Promising review: "I LOVE this night-light. It's in my bathroom and is a lovely addition. It turns off the second the lights go on, which is nice because I don't have to worry about accidentally leaving it on. Super cute and the little itty-bitty lighting element does a good job lighting, just enough so I don't have to turn the main lights on in the middle of the night." —1Thand

39. A HyperChiller that will become the new BFF of the iced coffee fanatic in your life. This turns hot coffee into iced in a literal minute (same goes for that rosé they were too lazy to put in the fridge!).
40. A contoured sleep mask designed to alleviate pressure from their eyes and plunge them into total delicious darkness all night long, while staying put on their head without any Velcro snagging in their hair in the middle of the night.
Promising review: "I don’t require complete darkness when I sleep, so I hadn’t thought I’d ever want a sleep mask. Then 2020 happened! The pandemic and its associated anxiety have messed up my sleep in a major way. I often get to sleep just fine but wake up later unable to get back to sleep. I’ve decreased caffeine, established a regular bedtime, avoided screens hours before bed, and tried melatonin. I guess it’s all mental for me, but when I wake up like that, heart racing and sweaty, and I can’t see anything — no clocks or moonlight, no dozing form of my beloved next to me, no cat demon staring at the foot of the bed — I tend to settle down easier. It’s like wearing the mask reminds me I’m supposed to shut my eyes and sleep. And I usually do, right until the alarm goes off. I like the molded cups around the eyes. A flat mask would make me feel like I’m rubbing off all my eye cream and lash serum through the night. I have not washed this mask yet, but I think it’ll hold up just fine gently hand washing it. The adjustable band is soft and doesn’t slip out of place. If you’re on the fence about trying a sleep mask, you might as well get a really nice one! Give this a try, especially if you have anxiety like I described." —Anna
