What a year! The holidays are finally here! And while we’re doing our best to make sure the products we feature will arrive in time, shipping times are especially tricky this year, so we suggest shopping as early as you can.
Stock and shipping times can vary depending on where you live, which product you purchase, and more. So order earlier than you think you need to and be sure to double-check the retailers’ websites for shipping information to ensure that your gift will arrive in time for when you need it.
1. A compact light therapy lamp that thousands of reviewers swear by — this UV-free bb is smaller than other models, making it easier to use on a desktop for longer sessions on days when you're too busy to get away from the computer during prime daylight hours.
2. A time-marked water bottle you can get in a bajillion different colors if you'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.
3. A popular water-resistant Under Armour face mask that's wayyyy comfier and more breathable than the disposable ones — this is designed to sit off your lips, giving you plenty of room to breathe without getting fabric sucked into your mouth. It's also made with the company's Iso-Chill fabric, so it doesn't overheat despite being bulkier than other masks.
4. A pair of wireless sleep headphones that will play white noise or the music of your choice in a comfy headband, so you don't have to risk your ears getting sore while ya snooze.
5. A set of affordable, highly popular (seriously, these have over 220,000 popular reviews) wireless Bluetooth earbuds so you can multi-task to your heart's content, whether it's listening to spooky podcasts while you clean, chatting with your BFF on a walk around the neighborhood, or doing an at-home workout without waking up all your roomies.

8. 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.)
9. A K-Cup carousel for your kitchen that rotates 360 degrees and holds up to 35 K-Cups, and will also be a big ole "yeah, I have my life together" flex.
10. A bottle of Mike's Hot Honey to instantly elevate all your favorite dishes to "my compliments to the CHEF" level. This can add a pinch of sweet and a kick of spice to anything from pizza to salads to tacos to — be still my '90s bb heart — grilled cheese.

12. A Java Sok, aka a reusable iced coffee cup insulator you can use to keep your drink cold *and* your fingers from freezing off. I know some of y'all are the type who are still chugging iced coffee in the snow and I humbly offer this to protect your unsuspecting digits.
13. A contoured sleep mask designed to alleviate pressure from your eyes and plunge you into total delicious darkness, while staying put on your head without any Velcro snagging in your hair. A lot of 20-minute power naps are about to turn into three-hour sleep-a-paloozas, y'all.

17. 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!).
18. A trio lasagna pan designed so all of your edges are so perfectly crisped it will taste like Remy from Ratatouille cut them with his own discerning, bougie eyes.
19. A pair of sleek touchscreen-friendly gloves perfect for anyone who's always starting the group chat — now you can still send a plethora of John Mulaney memes while power-walking in the cold.
20. 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 your eyes are already adjusted to the light and significantly less groggy when it's time to get yourself up and at 'em.

29. A gorgeous pastel paint-by-number, because it's the kind of gift that keeps on giving: not only is it a great activity, but the end result is a watercolor so beautiful it deserves a frame.
30. 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 is gonna lose their marbles (and hopefully cook for you).
31. An electric wine opener to save soooo much time and effort — this rechargeable bb will safely pop it open in six seconds without any of the hassle.
32. A PhoneSoap that'll make anyone feel like they're truly living in the ~future~. All you have to do is put a small object in it — whether it's a phone, keys, eyeglasses, and even a face mask — and this compact gadget kills up to 99.99% of bacteria on it with UV light.

39. A flexible universal tablet stand so you don't have to crane their neck or tire out your arms just to marathon reruns of Parks and Rec in peace.
40. A set of animal-shaped silicone tea infusers to cut down on your single-use tea bags and the wrappers they come in. (Tag yourself, I am the platypus.)
41. A snap-on pasta strainer to free your pasta from its hot juices straight from the pot, and spare you storage space to boot (is it just me or are colanders always in the business of being exactly in the way of whatever it is you need?). Psst — these are also a game-changer for washing your fruit, too!

Promising review: "I LOVE these caps so much! During Hurricane Ida, we had two trees fall on our home. I wore them daily as I was cleaning debris, tarping my roof, and helping others around me do the same. I love that they are high quality, made by women, for women. They are my go-to gift for friends, everyone loves how they accommodate ponytails and buns." —brittanygraybill
