14. OR, a large writing desk if they've already got the chair covered but need a larger workspace in their tiny living quarters. The extra-wide design of this desk paired with its shallower depth makes it easy to better utilize the space in their room, and should easily accommodate their monitor, lamp, notebooks, and so forth. It's also just a perfect 10 to look at.

19. A glass globe floor lamp they can use in the cozy reading corner they've been curating over the last few months.

25. A Fujifilm Instax Mini 11 Camera that's definitely gorgeous, and I would argue practical because what's more important than making memories!? This is a gift that'll literally keep on giving, and they'll be sure to put it to good use for years to come.
26. An Instant Pot 8-quart pressure cooker they can use to make restaurant-quality meals but in a fraction of the time. The versatility this little machine offers is truly impressive; it can be used to pressure cook, sauté, steam, as a sous vide, or even just to warm leftovers.
