1. A pair of game-changing memory foam slippers for indoor *and* outdoor use, so they can enjoy these lightweight, plush-lined clouds that mold to their feet anywhere they roam.
2. A set of affordable, highly popular wireless Bluetooth earbuds that make *excellent* AirPod dupes, except arguably better — these are completely waterproof (like, they can fully take them in the shower) and come with several silicone earbuds to get the best fit possible.
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).
Promising review: "So far I love everything about these earphones. I have had multiple kinds of wireless headphones and am always getting the wires hung on everything. These are so comfortable, they stay in my ears well. The sound quality is fantastic. I haven’t tried them in the shower yet, but will do that soon. I will be ordering more to give for gifts. They are wonderful!! They pair easily to my phone and IPad. Noise cancellation is great. They are comfortable to wear also. I have small ears, so the small bud that comes with works very well for me. My 27-year-old son LOVES to sing in the shower so I am going to buy him a pair of these for Christmas. He will love them as much as I do." —Karen Haney

3. A pair of wireless sleep headphones that will play white noise or the music of their choice in a comfy headband, so they don't have to risk their ears getting sore while they snooze.
4. 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 prods.
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!
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.
Promising review: "Youthforia BYO Blush is a green oil that does change to a pink blush color on my light skin that has an olive hue. It’s easy to apply and gives a nice pop of sheer color. I usually use three drops but two may be enough and more can be added as needed. This product is clearly geared more for teens and young adults. It does seem perfect for teens just starting to wear makeup as it has the fun novelty factor of changing from green to pink, it does give my cheeks a youthful rosy look and it’s also very easy to apply just using my fingers. I also like that nothing stands out bad in the ingredients. It would be a perfect holiday gift or stocking stuffer." —Robin

5. A trio lasagna pan designed so all of their edges are so perfectly crisped it will taste like Remy from Ratatouille cut them with his own discerning, bougie eyes.
6. A time-marked water bottle you can get them in a bajillion different colors if they're someone who needs reminders to stay hydrated — this one's especially great because of the ease of use. It's designed to fit into car cup holders and has a lil' button by the mouthpiece to pop the cap off for easy access.
7. A microwave rapid cake maker, because the only thing better than homemade cake is homemade cake in SIX LITERAL MINUTES. All they need is half a box of any regular grocery store cake mix plus the ingredients, and this gizmo will have them on their way to Cake City in no time.

9. A sparkling-wine saver to keep their bubblies bubbling, so they can pop a bottle any day of the week without worrying about wasting the leftovers. (Psst — this gift pairs well with an actual bottle of bubbly, wink wink, nudge nudge.)
10. A bottle of Mike's Hot Honey to instantly elevate all their favorite dishes to "my compliments to the CHEF" level. This can add a pinch of sweetness and a kick of spice to anything from pizza to salads to tacos to — be still my '90s bb heart — grilled cheese.
11. A bottle of Drop It, a natural wine sulfate and tannin remover to prevent wine-related allergies and migraines, so they can enjoy that wine advent calendar without powering through a migraine the whole next day.
12. A contoured sleep mask designed to alleviate pressure from their eyes and plunge them into total delicious darkness, while staying put on their head without any Velcro snagging in their hair. A lot of 20-minute power naps are about to turn into three-hour sleep-a-paloozas, y'all.
13. 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.
14. A satin pillowcase to invest in, not only for its cooling effect, but the fact that it's soft on skin and creates less friction for hair so that it won't get as tangled while they sleep. Reviewers also swear by these for helping clear up their acne and love how easy these are to wash while still maintaining their quality.

18. A five-year One Line A Day journal perfect for anyone who keeps starting journals and then abandoning them — one line a day is *super* low commitment, so it'll likely stick (and imagine the satisfaction of looking back every year!).

Promising review: "I really thought this item was overpromised. I thought that there was no way it would be so easy to install AND so sturdy. Holy moly. I am SO IMPRESSED. It literally installed in seconds. Like, it feels wrong to even call it 'installation.' It truly was THAT EASY. I can fit way more on it than I expected. It is super sturdy. And for the price, I would buy this as a housewarming gift for literally everyone I know. It makes my life easier every single day." —Lacy

22. An affordable sunrise alarm clock that's a total game changer for heavy sleepers or people who sleep in pitch-black rooms, which make it all too tempting to slam "snooze" in the morning. This gradually lights up the room in the minutes leading up to your alarm, so their eyes are already adjusted to the light and significantly less groggy when it's time to get themselves up and at 'em.
23. A set of eye-popping fine-point pens designed for planners and journals that will not only delight anyone with their easy gliding but also the way they never bleed through pages.
