1. A book-shaped flower vase with some real "Belle from Beauty & the Beast" energy (like TELL ME this vase wouldn't absolutely come to life and start strutting its stuff all over their library).
Check out a TikTok of the book vase in action.
Promising review: "The vase was so pretty I bought a second! They're durable and very appealing to the eye. I will be purchasing more." —kayla
Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in four colors).
2. A copy of Burn After Writing, a guided journal that tens of thousands of reviewers swear by — through a series of questions and thought experiments, it encourages people to take time away from their screens to explore their feelings, both new and old, so they can embrace meaningful ones and try to let others go.
Promising review: "I first saw this book on TikTok and decided to look more into it. I purchased four total because I know some people holding onto things that are difficult to let go of. It’s a great way to look at things from a different perspective and truly hold yourself accountable to different things in your life. I love what it stands for and I look forward to when I burn mine after I’m done. Self love, self care, and meditation for a better state of mind tomorrow is always the goal. I definitely recommend it to those susceptible to change and the willingness to try things different. You’re so much more than what’s been done to you and someone’s inability to see your worth does not decrease your value. Choose you for a change." —Brent Helm
Get it from Amazon for $7.32.

Promising review: "I was born in 1983 and this is the EXACT version I adored and obsessed over as a young girl.

Check out a TikTok of the colander in action.

5. 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
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in 11 colors).
6. A mushroom growing kit that grows right there in the packaging, so they can add some sweet, sweet umami flavors to new dishes by sautéing, roasting, or air frying them up.
Back To The Roots is a California-based small business founded by two college friends that specializes in indoor gardening kits with a mission to reconnect families to food.
Psst — if you have not put mushrooms in your air fryer, my friend, you have not yet lived the full human experience. Also this growing kit comes with some recipes to get you started!
Promising review: "This product has been so much fun to watch! I followed the directions, exactly as written, and the mushrooms began growing within 3–4 days. I will say that I did soak them for close to 10 hours before putting them back in the box to grow and I believe this helped a ton. I also kept the box inside by a window with the blinds closed in order for them to get indirect sunlight. The mushrooms grew tremendously for almost a week before they started to shrink so I clipped them to cook with and they were DELICIOUS! This was such a fun product and process to watch. I am now in the process of trying to get a second batch of shrooms from the same box. Fingers crossed!" —Steph A
Get it from Amazon for $19.98.
7. 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

8. A solar bird feeder truly out here serving some Hannah Montana vibes — during the day it's a sweet little haven for birds to get some grub, and at night it uses solar power to light up and enchant the backyard.
Promising review: "My wife and I love this so much, we are going to buy two more. Works great as a bird feeder and is lovely besides. At night the light cast through the pattern in the feeder is absolutely stunning. We can see a few more of these spread through our wooded yard. So freaking cool!" —Randy A Coy
Get it from Amazon for $16.19.

Check out a TikTok of the foldable 3-in-1 charger in action.
Psst — a lot of travelers swear by it because it saves soooo much space in their luggage!
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

11. 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
Get it from Amazon for $29.94.
12. A rainbow prism suncatcher they can easily hang indoors to refract sunlight and make a bunch of teensy little rainbows all over the place, adding a subtle touch of magic in their space. 🌈
13. A "flaming" humidifier so they can have your aromatherapy and perfectly breathable air *and* enjoy the coziness of a teensy fireplace vibe for a little cottagecore touch.
Check out a TikTok of the flaming humidifier in action.
Promising review: "I like how this diffuser kind of looks like a mini fireplace and it’s perfect for winter. I also like how long the water of this diffuser lasts — I always add my favorite essential oil in it when I go to sleep every night without worrying it will run out of water. I used to have insomnia and it helped me to sleep through the night with my relaxing essential oil scent, and it also worked as a humidifier." —Benny
Get it from Amazon for $32.69 (available in black and white).
14. A Morse code bracelet you can get for them in a *ton* of different messages (including some delightfully NSFW ones). I'm personally a fan of "Buzz Off" and "Badass," but there are plenty of super cute ones for moms and dads and siblings, so this is a true choose-your-own-adventure.
15. A bottle of thermal color-changing nail polish so they can feel like a magician every time they run their fingers over warm and cold water.
Cirque Colors is a small Brooklyn-based business specializing in handmade nail polish and nail accessories.
Promising review: "My favorite nail polish. I was iffy when I first put it on, it seemed an awkward consistency for nail polish...but I was happily surprised. It is matte and dries super fast and after two coats and 10 minutes they were done. I was going to put topcoat over them for a glossier finish, but I ultimately just left them matte. It goes on and dries beautifully, it changes to purple in cold temperatures, and it DOES NOT CHIP OR PEEL like many thermal nail polishes. I washed dishes, gardened, cleaned, and even without topcoat my nails still look perfect. I will definitely be buying more, they're worth the price." —Samantha Martin
Get it from Amazon for $16.50 (available in eight colors).
16. A mesh body exfoliator from LuvScrub that'll knock all their loofahs and washcloths out of the park — its large size and unique texture help smooth and clean skin all over their body, including hard-to-reach places like their back, so they can brush away dead skin cells and more effectively moisturize to combat dryness.
LuvScrub is a Black-owned beauty brand that specializes in mesh exfoliators influenced by creator Ghanaian-American Caroline Owusu-Ansah's childhood using this type of mesh like many West Africans. Her version is meant to replace loofahs and washcloths as a more full-body effective, long-lasting, and bacteria-avoidant option.
Promising review: "I've been using LuvScrub body exfoliates for about a year now and it's beaten every other loofah I've tried in the past. I get those little keratosis pilaris bumps on the backs of upper arms and thighs and this is legit the only thing that has ever helped with it, along with just making my skin nice and soft in general. It also dries out much quicker when you're done, which means less water being held on it after showering and building up nasty bacteria. Honestly, this little strip of netting is a game changer. Get yourself one!" —Chels
Get it from Ulta Beauty for $18 or LuvScrub for $18 (available in five colors).
17. A Hugimals weighted stuff animal reviewers swear by for some anxiety-reducing snuggles — each of these stuffed animals was designed with the help of occupational therapists, pediatricians, and psychiatrists to optimize their deep pressure quality so it feels like they're hugging back. ❤️
Promising review: "Re-entering social and work engagements after two years of quarantine brought on unexpected anxiety and sleep disruptions. Weighted blankets were too warm.

Get it from Amazon for $64 (available in other styles on the Hugimals Amazon shop).
18. "We're Not Really Strangers," a revolutionary new card game to help them open up to their friends, family, or significant others and form stronger bonds with them.

There are also two modes — "play safe" and "play to grow" — depending on how deep they want to dig with certain people or groups.

19. A set of "floating" kitchen knives in an acrylic case that is, frankly, so badass that even as a person who can't cook to save their life I'm like, "Do it for the vibes." That said, reviewers really *DO* rave about these professional-quality stainless-steel blades!
Each set comes with 13 professional chef knives, kitchen scissors, a peeler, a two-stage stage knife sharpener, and an acrylic knife stand.

21. A gentle bubbly clay mask designed to help remove blackheads and minimize the appearance of pores, but most importantly to let them cosplay as a happy lil' cloud.
Check out a TikTok of the foaming mask in action.
Promising review: "I love this stuff! I received some for a gift and then purchased it for my daughter from Amazon. It feels like a clay mask going on, and then starts bubbling and turns to a thinner substance when it's done. I feel like it is very gentle on my face. My skin feels amazing after I wash it off. It feels like I used moisturizer, even though I did not. I hear that these masks are very popular in Japan." —L. Shea

Promising review: "This is my favorite granola butter on the planet! I can’t go a day without it. Due to allergies, I can’t eat most granola and nut butters but I’m able to eat this one with no issues. Not only that, it tastes absolutely AMAZING! The cookie dough has been my absolute favorite so far!!! I love that the chocolate chips are no longer in the cookie dough because I would not be able to eat the original due to the sugar in the chocolate chips. This is absolutely amazing and can go with so many different breakfast, desserts, yogurt, or just straight out of the jar. You name it! I have several friends who have children with peanut allergies and I tell them about this and so far all of them have left it as well. Thank you Ali and team for creating an incredible product that’s healthy and allergen free!" —Teaching Is A Royal Adventure

These made preparing multiple fondues so easy because they actually can get really hot, so we didn't have to use a separate pot on the stove to get things going, we just prepared them right in these pots. They're also really pretty, which I don't think you can say about a lot of the other options out there. Would definitely buy again but not sure I need three lol." —Alexa Patterson
