Hey! While we’re doing our best to make sure the products we feature will arrive in time for Christmas, shipping times are tricky and can vary depending on where you live, which product you purchase, and more. Shop early and be sure to double check the retailers’ websites for shipping information to ensure that your gift will arrive in time for the 25th!
1. A tube of Stila mascara to slip into their stocking: they can skip expensive extensions and add a lil' drama and volume to their lashes with this easy-to-use formula that doesn't clump, flake, or smudge.
2. A jar of Sichuan Chili Crisp from Fly By Jing because they can take their meals to the next level. Drizzle this flavorful sauce onto eggs, noodles, pizza, salads, and ice cream and they'll go from saying "yum" to "THIS IS SO DARN GOOD" with every bite.
3. A hand-poured Homesick candle to remind them of you and the subtle scents of their favorite state. It has up to 80 hours of burn time and will help them relax whenever they're missing home.
4. A JW Pei vegan leather purse for your stylish friend who adores the '00s and needs a chic accessory that'll hold the essentials — aka a cellphone, keys, wallet, and some lip balm.
5. A cute AirPods case that'll safely hold their AirPods and charger case and protect them from water damage (hi rain and snow). They can even clip this lil' guy on their backpack or purse for easy access.
6. A burrito blanket for the person who loves to ~wrap~ themselves in a warm cocoon when it's a cold day. Shoutout to the reviewer below who wrapped it in actual foil when they gave it as a gift!
7. A Revlon hot-air brush that'll dry *and* style their hair at the same time. Its three heat settings will get to work on wet strands, while its rounded edges and an oval brush design increase volume and curl their ends. They'll appreciate this present that'll basically cut their hair routine in half.
It also has a ceramic-coated barrel that acts as a shield against heat damage, making it easy to style their hair without breakage.
Promising review: "Amazing product. I wish I found this 20 years ago!! I have naturally curly hair and enjoy a nice blowout without having that pin-straight 'burnt' flat iron look. This product helped me achieve the blowout look in about five minutes (yes, five!). When it comes to hair, I’m a super novice and this is by far the easiest, most effective (inexpensive) blowout. I would give this more than 5 stars if I could. Where has it been all my life?!?!" —Sara Kovach

8. A handheld light they'll be ~over the moon~ about because it fits in the palm of their hand and adds a soft glow to their bedroom. It's easy to operate too: just tap to change the color and brightness (no cords required).
9. A Zamat contour memory foam pillow designed for back, side, and stomach sleepers that reviewers swear by for a good night's sleep. It's customizable and they can change how high or low they'd like it to be, thanks to removable memory foam inserts. No more waking up with a stiff neck in the morning.
10. A squeaky hide-and-seek toy that'll delight any doggo and challenge them to find "sweet treats." ~Donut~ forget to gift this adorable plush to your fave fur baby.
11. Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza for their next family game night. It's fun, fast, and the objective is easy: if there's a match between one of the cards and a word said out loud, you have to be the first to slap the pile. Whoever has no more cards first wins!
12. A rechargeable hand warmer because it's getting COLD and you know at least five people on your list that could use a gadget like this. A double-sided design heats this baby up in seconds and there are three different temperatures to choose from.
13. Light saber chopsticks so they can enjoy takeout ~in a galaxy far, far away~ (aka the kitchen). These babies glow and grip well on sushi and noodles, making their next lunch break a super fun and mess-free experience.
14. A clip-on ring light that'll give them professional-quality lighting for photos and videos in any setting. They can take amazing selfies and film well-lit Instagram Reels and TikToks with their smartphone, even if they're in a really dark room and don't have natural lighting to work with.
15. A Can Coolie for the person who's always grilling and spending time outdoors. This stocking stuffer will ~take the bite~ out of sweating beverages with insulated fabric and a sturdy design.
16. Bond Touch bracelets that'll give your partner a subtle sign of love whenever they're missing you. They'll seriously melt when they receive a "touch" and their wrist lights up during the day or night.
17. A bath caddy because they'll love spending their OOO time sipping wine and reading a juicy bestseller in the tub. This tray is expandable and can also fit a tablet, in case they want to binge-watch their fave TV shows too.
18. A link chain necklace for the friend who is always wearing trendy jewelry. This beauty is fab for layering, brightens up any #OOTD, and makes a great last minute stocking stuffer or gift.
19. And an initial ring with an adjustable band, so you don't have to worry about buying the wrong size for their fingers. This beauty can be worn alone or with other dainty rings for a cool look.
20. A Vitruvi ceramic oil diffuser that'll help them relax in their living space *and* double duty as a cool piece of decor wherever they display it. Whenever someone comes over, they'll get asked, "wow, where did you get THAT?" because it's very chic-looking, plus fills up any room with soothing scents.
Promising review: "Fantastic oil diffuser at a great price — I've purchased a few over the years and this is the best one yet in terms of price, quality and how beautiful it is! It fits perfectly with the design of my apartment and leaves it smelling like a spa every time I walk through the door. I love how it doesn't scream 'diffuser' and truly looks like a piece of decor. Shipped fast and delivered quickly, plus it was easy to set up. I strongly recommend this product!" —Ellery Simpson

23. Or a hair claw clip if they're all about easy styling that doesn't involve hot tools or annoying hair ties. A secure grip keeps strands in place, so they can go about their day without hair problems. Plus, it comes in a bunch of cute colors!
24. A rotating digital alarm clock because they've slept through way too many alarms on their smartphone. This high-tech gem has a wake-up alarm, a mirrored screen, and two USB ports. They can charge all their devices and wake up on time!
25. A wearable sherpa hooded blanket also known as The Comfy from Shark Tank. If their space is the definition of cozy, this snuggly companion will add the final touch. They'll feel like they're living in their own hygge dream, thanks to a soft hood lined with faux-sherpa material.
26. A Baby Yoda Bluetooth speaker because The Mandalorian fan in your life will appreciate this lil' buddy for their next indoor workout or wine night. It plays up to four hours of music on a single charge, has a 30-foot range, and great sound quality.
