    Oh and by the way, they'll *actually* use these items.

    1. A swoon-worthy soft knit throw blanket because 'tis the season to snuggle up on the couch with a latte in hand. They can try *not* to doze off with this wrapped around them but uh...they'll probably fail. Plus, reviewers compare it to the one from Barefoot Dreams!

    Promising reviews: "I absolutely adore this blanket. It's lightweight and fluffy, pretty warm but also breathable - perfect for Southern wintertime. I got the larger size than the regular throw and so glad I did - it's large enough to snuggle shoulder to toe, and there's always enough room for a cat or two. Washes nicely, and the bit of claw damage here and there doesn't show in the blanket material, bonus." —J. Thornberg

    "This is the best blanket in my entire house it's a beautiful soft knit just the right heaviness to keep you really warm and yet won't heat you up and make you too hot! It's very stretchy and flexible and soft and just feels like heaven on earth!" —Tamara S. Tamblyn

    And it's super easy to clean up — just remove the parts and place them in the dishwasher!

    Promising review: "I love this handy sandwich maker. Easy to use. Easy to clean. Makes a great sandwich. Everyone should have one. I use it mostly for breakfast sandwiches. Hint, if you like English muffins extra crispy. Run through toaster once while the machine is heating up. Guarantees crisp bun at end of cooking cycle. Can’t recommend enough." —William M. Pittman

    And tell Gary not to worry! The snail mucin is obtained in a safe way, so no snails are harmed!

    I've personally been using this for months now and it's amazing how it's improved aspects of my skin that I didn't even know needed improving. I didn't think my skin looked too dull before, but after see how this brightened and soothed my skin, I'm never going back. I spray my face with rose water, gently pat the essence into my skin while it's still damp, and let it absorb. Plus, it absorbs so quickly, it's like your skin is saying "gimme gimme gimme!!". 

    Promising review: "I've been using the COSRX Snail Mucin 96% Power Repairing Essence, and it has become an absolute game-changer in my skincare routine. The snail secretion filtrate works wonders in hydrating and repairing my skin, leaving it feeling incredibly soft and revitalized. I've noticed a significant improvement in the overall texture and radiance of my complexion. The lightweight formula is perfect for daily use, and I love that it effectively targets dullness and fine lines. As a fan of Korean skincare, this essence has become a staple for me, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to elevate their skincare routine with a powerful and nourishing product." —Elsdoesgolf

    4. A bathtub caddy because in this scenario, multitasking is a luxury. They can use it to hold their tablet or favorite book, their third glass of wine, and a bowl of cherries that they can make their S.O. feed them, while they soak with cucumbers on their eyes. Ahh, yes...this is the life.

    Promising review: "I didn’t take baths for the longest time because I found it inconvenient and couldn’t relax. The few times I took a bath in this tub prior to getting a bath tray, I would put my iPad on the toilet a few feet away out of arm's reach. Needless to say I’d be getting up every so often to adjust the volume, change the show, etc. I am so happy I ordered this! I can put my iPad or a book against the metal rest, have a drink, put my phone in the phone holder, and put some decorative candles in the sides. I am now a bath lover and would recommend this product to anyone looking to step up their bath or relaxation routine. I can now relax in the tub and multitask easily! My cat even jumped up on the bath tray while I was in the tub and it was completely sturdy. I’ve bought this as a gift for both my mom and boyfriend's mom because I love this product so much!" —Sierra Ritchie-Gruver

    Promising review: "This is exactly the cozy, heavy blanket hoodie I've ben wanting! It's like wrapping up in the blanket from my bed, without hauling around a king-sized mass of fabric. There's even a hidden pocket inside the kangaroo pouch to keep your little things from falling out. For anyone concerned about the "one size" thing, I'm 5'4", 280 lbs. I wear a 3x in women's. This thing is big enough to tuck my knees up in there and still have a bit of room. It's super-soft, too! I want at least 3 more." —MandraDawn1

    VIS Paradise Goods is a Florida-based Etsy stop established in 2021 that specializes in personalized and sustainable goods. 

    Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says about it: "I love it for the convenience of texting on the go! These even have a holder for a straw if you happen to get iced coffee or bubble tea and don't want to stick the straw into the drink just yet. I've found this to be very sturdy and easy to use, plus they're a fun conversation starter — people always want to know where I got it!

    Promising review: "My hair is thin, but I have a lot of it and it’s so hard to get it off my neck and have a secure hold for the day. These clips are perfect! I can gather all my hair in one clip and it holds all day. No damage and no scalp pain. Love the different colors." —Liz B.

    Check it out in this TikTok.

    It also can help tighten the appearance of eye wrinkles if they'd prefer for them not to be as noticeable. And here's a tip! It reduces puffiness faster if used after refrigeration.

    Promising review: "This is definitely a miracle product. I was impressed that it worked so well, so fast, and so instantly. The packaging is silly but whimsical; I enjoy it. This is the last thing I apply before walking out the door. First day I used it, I put it on and got in my car — I looked in the rear view mirror and my heart jumped. My eyes had de-puffed on my walk down the front path!!! So impressive. It's not hydrating, it’s more tightening/brightening. If you have dry under eyes, use a creamy hydrating eye cream first, and apply this over it — problem solved. You don’t get much product, but you don’t need to use much either, and it’s not like it’s expensive. Definitely worth it if a product actually DOES what it claims it’ll do!!! Buy it!" —Joseph S.

    10. A W&P Porter ceramic mug with a silicone sleeve and an extra secure lid that'll keep all that delicious latte inside, even on a bumpy ride while they rush to work in the morning. Plus, it serves as a super aesthetically pleasing way for them to enjoy their morning cup of joe.

    the black mug
    Amazon

    Promising review: "I love this portable ceramic mug! It's comfortable and cozy to hold because of the rubber lining that surrounds three-quarters of the ceramic. I like that the rubber also covers the bottom of the mug so that I can set it down on my desk without making a sound, but it's so nice to be able to sip from the ceramic at the top (if you take the lid off) because it feels like you're using a regular coffee mug (rather than a travel mug). It's incredibly convenient to be able to microwave it when you want to reheat your drink. All around I think it's worth the price." —elizabeth

    12. A cute pair of Acorn memory foam slippers, because they're just the thing your bestie needs for walking around the house as the chilly season settles in. And tbh, slipping your precious feet into a pair of fluffy clouds first thing in the morning honestly sounds like the best thing ever.

    Whether they're walking from their bedroom to their bathroom or from their front door to their car for a Starbucks drive-thru trip, they'll be walking on ~cloud nine~.

    Prime members: You can try before you buy!

    Promising review: "These slippers are comfort to my feet. The way they are made, I enjoy a feeling of stability, and with the memory foam they mold to my feet. Also, because they have an 'indoor/outdoor' sole, I can put them on and run out to my backyard early in the a.m. with my dog and my feet don't get wet. Lastly, I like that they are washable. I previously had a wool Acorn pair of slippers that lasted for years. Thanks for a great slipper." —Bella's Mom

    This popcorn maker is especially fantastic because it acts as a popcorn bowl itself. PLUS! It's collapsible! Which makes this easy to store if they have approximately zero space in their kitchen.

    Promising review: "Absolutely amazing! I am throwing out my old popcorn maker because there is no need for it anymore. I cannot believe how easy it was to make perfect popcorn and use the same bowl to eat it out of. I've already told all of my friends to buy this!" —Cindy Suy

    "They’re a perfect piece to add to your wardrobe; you can wear them anywhere, style them up or down, however you want. Perfectly comfortable, and the crossover is also super cute.

    Promising review: "After just two days of use, this adorable little octopus has done wonders for me, smells great too. Here's how I used it: I wore down the stick just a little to where the texture from the salt is visible, scrubbed around on my face so there was plenty of product, then I used my fingers to gently massage all the gunk away. Rinse, pat dry, and enjoy the softness. Highly recommended for people with sensitive skin like myself." —LuckLocust

    Check out this TikTok of a user reviewing it.

    This lip oil is vegan, cruelty-free, and has no parabens, sulfates, or phthalates.

    Promising review: "This is the first lip oil I've ever used. Usually I avoid anything with oil because I have very sensitive and generally oilier skin, but I wanted to give this a try because I wanted something sheer and pretty for a natural makeup look. Probably the best purchase I've ever made!!! It's super sheer and looks fine on its own without any other makeup. The smell is delicious, and while the gloss dries and fades after about an hour or two without eating, the color stays all day! I did have to reapply after eating, but not after drinking water! I just wish it was bigger, it's a teeny bottle. Would definitely buy again!!" —Debby Gold

    This waffle maker heats up super quickly, is designed with nonstick pans, and is fairly no-frills: Just plug it in, pour some batter, and wait for the light to turn green. Waffles are ready in no more than five minutes.

    Plus this comes with a neat little recipe book packed with recipes for hash browns, paninis, biscuit pizzas, and more!

    Promising review: "This thing is incredible. I just mix up a batch of waffle batter and keep it in the fridge and in the morning, I plug this in while pouring my coffee. It reaches temp in about a minute, and then I'll pour in the batter and about the waffle is done about another minute later." —Rick

    Promising review: "I am a person who ALWAYS seems to have dry lips. No matter how much water I drink or how well I eat or what product I use, I would always have dry, cracking, horrible lips. This stuff is amazing. Unlike most lip products that go away and have to be reapplied every two minutes — aptly named a mask...this stuff stays on your lips, continually moisturizing them for hours. I put this on before bed and will wake up to the soft, smooth texture in the morning. BUY IT." —Angela Brook Waters

    Promising review: "I have to be honest, for a 'cheap' three-pack mascara, I did NOT have high expectations. These, however, exceeded my expectations and went MUCH MUCH farther. I had been buying a certain $25/tube brand (rhymes with truepique) and I like these just as much!! I’m saving a TON of money and like my lashes just as much." —Liz

    This primer is paraben free and lightweight, plus it's infused with pearl powder to enhance the vibrancy of their shadow AND a sebum-controlling powder to stop oily lids in their tracks.

    Promising review: "Let me start by saying that I have used nearly every eyeshadow primer available. From expensive to cheap...none of them hold a candle to this. I have very oily skin, but this primer lets my shadow last a full eight hours or more. I could get maybe five or six out of the other brands if I'm lucky! Thank you to Elizabeth Mott for finally making a primer that lasts! I seriously love this stuff." —Melissa Mae

    23. A 6-quart Vortex air fryer to help them cook their meats, fries, and veggies to a crispy perfection with little to no added oil. It's also perfect for large families and will help them achieve a meal that looks like it belongs on the cover of Martha Stewart Living.

    Hannah Loewentheil / BuzzFeed

    Here's what BuzzFeed writer Hannah Loewentheil has to say about this nifty kitchen appliance: "I've had this air fryer for about three weeks now, and I can honestly say it's become the hero of my kitchen. It preheats quickly, it's large enough to a good amount of food at once, it's easy to clean, and it makes food taste crispy on the outside and moist on the inside without any oil. I've been using my air fryer to make vegetables just about every night and it makes them taste so good. If you're cooking for kids, picky eaters, or you just don't get so excited about eating vegetables, the air fryer could be perfect for you. If you like chicken, the air fryer might change your life, and I don't mean that to be dramatic. The air fryer produces restaurant-quality chicken that tastes absurdly decadent, except there's no oil involved in the cooking — just air. We also tried making sesame chicken in the air fryer using boneless skinless chicken thighs. The sesame chicken tasted almost identical to my favorite Chinese takeout, and it had nothing to do with my cooking skills. Thanks to the air fryer, the chicken gets so crispy. I couldn't believe I made this at home!!"

    Promising reviews: "We had such a great time, careful with the "DaBomb" tho! Whewww that one lit us up. Such a cool group experience. Many delicious new flavors this season." —Stephen L.

    "When I got my pack I ordered 10 plain wings and tried each one in order. The first few didn’t really have spice, but did bring good flavor. The fun started about halfway through when the heat kicked in. My favorites are the Djablo, Los Calientes, Dawsons, and The Last Dab. Great spice and great flavor! I’ve started adding The Last Dab to soup and it’s a brilliant touch. It’s great that there’s something for all tolerance levels!" —Veronica

    Promising review: "This is the perfect cup. Not only is it super cute, simple, and aesthetically pleasing, but I love drinking water out of glass because it always tastes better. I love that the silicone sleeve protects it and makes the cup more durable. It also came with a spare straw so I can wash one while I use the other!" —Amazon customer

    Also!! When these shoes have reached the end of their life, you can send them back to the company to recycle them, and they'll give you $20 off your next order.

    Promising review: "I bought the slip-on shoes a few months ago and have worn them almost every day since. I generally look for wider shoes and I regularly anticipate problems with the good ole foot stank. After wearing them for just a few hours, they fit my feet even better than when I had first slipped them on. Even though you can go barefoot in the shoes, I know my feet sweat when I get hot or nervous, so I always wear socks and have never had a problem with odor! For me, this is a huge plus — not to mention how environmentally conscientious Thousand Fell is! I confidently wear them to work, around town, and my feet stay dry in the rain. I’m such a fan that I wrote about them in my last college final for Product Marketing. If you’re on the fence about it, I encourage you to at least try them out!" —AK

    Promising review: "I love it. Alexa is there for everything. I don't have any of the fancy smart appliances, but with this I have a rad English-speaking lady that will set timers for me, tell me how to translate Spanish words, tell me who that guy in that show I'm watching is, tell me I'm the coolest, play my music, and even tell me how much DJ Pauly D is worth. She even reminds me to get toilet paper and will play lullabies to my dogs if they bark and I'm not there. I love you Alexa." —Rika J.

    Promising review: "Extremely pleased! Got the king size three weeks ago and from night one, it’s been exactly what I needed. Absolutely no more waking up with neck stiffness or neck pain. The very night before I received this pillow I had neck pains. I thought it would take some time to feel a difference, but it was instant! I’m buying the queen size for my son now. He has scoliosis. Let’s see if it helps." —M. George

    30. A lightweight deep-tissue massage gun — I guess we're officially at that age...*sigh*. This'll help relieve them of the pain they get from kinks in places they didn't know could hurt. Who needs the spa when they've got their own personal, portable masseuse?

    It comes with five massage heads and five speed levels to try out — and weighs just 1.5 pounds!

    Promising review: "I have had chronic issues with pain caused by severely knotted muscles. This massager changed my life! I have tried muscle relaxers, stretching, and many other things, but a couple of muscles in my upper back would just knot up with any stress, physical or emotional, and the pain was nearly constant. I used this for about a half hour on all of my muscles with the first use, and the effects were immediate and profound. Pain relief was instant, and occasional use for a couple of minutes to the affected areas has been able to maintain that relief. I loved it so much, I bought one for my brother, who says it is helping him tremendously, as well. I have charged my massager twice in the last two months, battery life is excellent!" —Patty S.

    BuzzFeed Shopping editor Melanie Aman loves her Theragun Mini for post-workout relief: "Exercising was a huge boost to my mental health during quarantine, but the DOMS man — the DOMS hurt like hell!! I'm talking hurts to walk, hurts to lower myself and sit, hurts to stand up, hurts to lift things heavier than a stuffed animal, hurts to exist. I learned early on that this little gadget was suuuuuuuuper helpful in reducing my discomfort and loosening my tight, angry muscles. While jackhammering my calves and thighs is not an incredibly fun experience (TBH it hurts especially when I'm massaging already sore muscles), I know the next day I'll wake up with significantly less pain."

    32. A splurge-worthy towel warmer because they deserve to be wrapped up in cozy warmth when they've finished bathing after a long, tiresome day. Trust me, after they experience the joy of turning every shower into a spa day, they will never go back.

    It fits one oversized bath towel and you can program the heat in 15-minute intervals up to an hour.

    Promising review: "We found this on TikTok and got it for ourselves for Xmas. Definitely not a necessity in life, but it's really nice to have, especially now in winter. We love to use it for our babies and I'm sure they like it as well. We haven't had any issues with use. I use a large, thick beach-size towel normally and that fits fine in there. The minimum time setting is 15 minutes, but you don't need to have it in there for the full 15 to get it warm." —Sam Pereyra

    33. Beauty of Joseon Korean serum if they're a real *glow* getter. The niacinamide and propolis extract formula can help them maintain clearer skin, brighten dark spots, and give them a dewy glow, thanks to its honey-like texture.

    A reviewer holding the serum
    A reviewer with glowing skin after applying the serum

    I've been using this serum for about three months now and cannot say enough good things about it. I got the "glow" serum (I love that there's different options for different skin concerns) and it continues to minimize my pores and makes my skin look plumped and radiant!

    Promising review: "From the moment I started using this serum I saw results! The combination of propolis and niacinamide in this serum is a winning formula. My complexion has never looked this radiant and healthy. It effectively addresses dark spots and hyperpigmentation, visibly reducing their appearance. What makes this serum even more remarkable is its lightweight and fast-absorbing texture. It feels like silk on my skin and leaves no greasy residue. I can apply it seamlessly without worrying about it disrupting my makeup or other skincare products. The hydrating properties of this serum are a game-changer. My skin feels intensely nourished and plump, minimizing the look of fine lines and wrinkles. The only downside is the price. I think it's a bit expensive for the amount of product you get. However, it's so good that I'll still leave it at 8/5 stars!" —Yuna Lee

    Promising review: "I fly a lot and am constantly trying to find a hoodie with a big hood to cover my eyes so I can catch up on some beauty sleep on flights. I saw this product on Instagram and knew it would be a game changer. I was able to use it recently for the first time on an early-morning flight, and let me tell you, it is EVERYTHING I was looking for and more. It’s comfy, cozy, oversized, and the eye covers make you feel like you’re in a whole other world and not packed like a sardine on a plane. My over ear headphone fit perfectly under it and I got the best sleep I’ve had on a plane — EVER! Like other reviews have said, it is big, so size down if you want something a little more snug. I have been wearing it every day at home and can’t wait to get the black and blush ones!" —Heather G.

    35. A box of fragrance-free Aveeno Soothing Bath Treatment packets, because there's almost nothing worse than skin annoyances like poison ivy, bug bites, sunburns, and rashes. This is is enriched with colloidal oatmeal to gently cleanse, moisturize, and alleviate irritated skin. And don't worry — reviewers say it's mild enough to relieve even sensitive skin!

    Simply sprinkle the contents from the packet into warm bath water and mix it in before you soak.

    Promising reviews: "This oatmeal bath has made a world of difference with my increasing pregnancy itchiness. The next day after a bath, my skin feels so smooth and moisturized. I have even come to find that it works excellently for sunburns! I soaked for two days in this bath with a very painful sunburn (realizing quickly that pregnancy makes my skin more sensitive to the sun) and my sunburn was gone by day three with the itch decreased and no peeling. I highly recommend this product! FYI: The only inconvenience is the claylike residue that builds up around your bath drain. If you clean it while it is still wet, it comes off very easily." —Audrey

    "I first started using this product when I developed unbearably itchy, dry skin during my pregnancy. After no success with lotions and bath oils, this was the first product to provide me with relief. Now my 3-year-old has eczema and we use it in her bath water to help reduce inflammation and itching." —scmom

A trendy, lightweight pair of New Balance 608 V5 Cross Trainers that even amazed this reviewer with how well they carried them through a full day at Disneyland — and we all know that's the true test of comfort for any pair of shoes. They're made with minimal interior seaming and are lined with supportive foam inserts so that their feet can kiss those painful blisters and midday discomfort goodbye.

I developed sore feet which had a term — plantar fasciitis!! These New Balance tennis shoes with thick memory foam inserts saved the day! I can keep playing the game I love and my foot pain is nearly gone! Best tennis shoes ever! And they come in wide too, which makes the fit perfect!!!" —Library

    38. A cooling, memory foam contoured sleep mask that'll help improve their sleep quality because it puts zero pressure on their eyes and blocks out light while still allowing them to freely blink. Cons: It might make it a little harder for them not to hit that snooze button...oh well.

    Promising review: "The BEST BEST BEST and most comfortable sleep mask I’ve found. Night shifter for years, and have tried everything. Many other sleep masks have some qualities but not all. Some are high quality material but let light in, others are comfortable but material frays or cones apart after a few months, some are good for blackout but have a hard metal adjustment clasps on the band hurts when you sleep on it. This one has an adjustable coast on the band but I don’t feel it when I’m sleeping like others. This one is AMAZINGLY SOFT, VERY THICK, plush, high quality material, quality stitching that won’t come apart like so many others that are cheaply made, and it’s EXTREMELY COMFORTABLE even though it’s a good price. Very impressed and pleasantly surprised." —.

    To use, just press down on one of the first few pages of the book, and it'll leave little grooves in the design of the personalized embosser. It's like a stamp but without ink!

    Promising review: "My friend absolutely loved this gift! It’s completely customizable so although I kept the design mostly the same. I made my friends name lowercase because she likes the aesthetic of that and it turned out great! Their customer service is also so fast and easy to use, they answered me very quickly with a response that answered my question! The embosser itself it’s beautifully made and works great! I love the way it stores the stamp within the stamper and comes with a nice caring case." —Arabella

    42. An Instant Pot — careful, this seven-in-one kitchen gadget might just steal the "bestie" title away from you. It acts as a slow cooker, pressure cooker, rice cooker, steamer, yogurt maker, warmer, *and* they can sauté in it. So basically, you'd be gifting them their own private chef (which undeniably makes you the best gift-giver ever). 

    The Instant Pot
    Amazon

    Promising review: "I love my Instant Pot. I own a traditional pressure cooker that I rarely used because I felt like I need to constantly watch it, so I was reluctant to invest in an Instant Pot. I am so glad I did. I have used it at least twice a week since I bought it and sometimes three or four times. I have done everything from cook hard-boiled eggs, cook ribs, to bake a cheesecake. I almost never use my other slower cooker because I can brown meat right in the Instant Pot and use the slow cooker setting. My most used accessories are the steamer basket ($20.99), springform pan ($15.07), extra liner ($19.99), and extra sealing ring ($7.95). The least used is the hard boiled egg steamer rack ($19.99; the steamer basket holds a lot more and is easier to use). If my Instant Pot died tomorrow, I would feel certain that I had more than gotten my money's worth and immediately buy another." —mickey

    BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Jasmin Sandal loves this! Here's her rave review: "I decided to put these golden gems to the test after coming off of a red-eye flight with practically no sleep. After cooling them off in the fridge (which is what was suggested on the packet), I applied them to my purpley, puffy eyes, and...w-o-w. Not only did I feel like I was receiving some kind of royal treatment (because, gold), but after 20 minutes, my under-eyes appeared brighter and any fine lines that were once lingering had vanished! After wearing these I didn't feel compelled to apply concealer either, which is usually my go-to to disguise dark circles — and I even felt confident enough to go bare-faced for the rest of the day. Now I find that I integrate these into my routine anytime I want to let my skin breathe free of makeup."

    The black speaker on a table outdoors
    AnaMaria Glavan / BuzzFeed

    Here's what BuzzFeed contributor AnaMaria Glavan says about it: "The sound quality is amazing. Like, really amazing. You can control volume, treble, and bass with the slightest twist of a button, and this small speaker can get LOUD if you so please. I left it outside, put it on its loudest setting, went inside — and I could still hear my Spotify playlist going while I washed my hands. The design itself is also really lovely and, despite looking like it would be heavy, it’s actually surprisingly lightweight. This is definitely one of those sound systems that’s sturdy (and portable) enough to take with you anywhere, whether that be a beach or backyard barbecue. The battery life is also great!! It was playing for eight consecutive hours yesterday and it was still charged halfway. (As someone whose electronic devices are almost always at 3% because I forget to charge everything, I *truly* appreciate this feature, LOL.) I had been putting music from my iPhone on full blast for years, but having a legitimate speaker has honestly been such a wonderful luxury. If you love music, listen to podcasts, or prefer audiobooks, this is one of those investments that’s completely worth it."

    Promising review: "I am beyond thrilled with this little gizmo. It has worked wonders on everything in my closet from delicate chiffon and poly blends, to heavier cotton and wool blends. I have even steamed stubborn wrinkles from blazers and purses and linen. I considered purchasing a larger steamer, but they tend to be clumsy, heavy and difficult to maneuver. This steamer is perfect. And for frequent refills, I simply keep a pitcher of water nearby. For the price, you can't beat it." —Savvy Shopper

    Promising reviews: "After seeing these all over I knew I had to buy one for the crochet lover in my life. Even very experienced-in-crochet people find this relaxing and enjoyable as a fun side project on a rainy day.

They often commented on the quality and ease of completing this kit. Thinking about trying it out myself now!" —Morgan K
