"I love you and I like you" —Leslie Knope and your sister when you give her the perfect present.
BuzzFeed editor Natalie Brown has these socks and is a big fan! Here's what she had to say about them:
"I borrowed a pair from my sister and I know it’s weird to say this about socks, but they just make me so happy to see on my feet. They’re colorful and comfortable, and I don’t know what else I could want from a casual sock. (Although unlike what the listing claims, they’re definitely not super thick wool socks. They seem to be a light-to-medium-weight cotton and acrylic blend, which was fine with me.)"

Is your sibling constantly giving you updates like "Kate Middleton wore a fabulous blue dress today" or "Did you see that new photo of Prince Louis?!" If so, she is sure to gush over this mini figure of the Queen herself. I have one on my desk and my coworkers can't stop cooing over the accompanying corgi.

Promising review: "Another item that I don't know how I survived without it. I can finally have fresh brewed ice tea whenever I want, and this cup is wonderful to take to the office. Generous sized, it carries me through my day. Because of the ability to use the loose tea I have been experimenting quite a bit and have found a few new favorite herbal teas. Highly recommend." —Christine

Promising review: "It came sooner than I expected. The quality is very good. I got it as a gift for a friend who loves Starbucks. The inscription I chose was 'Name's Livin' La Vida Mocha,' for those of you looking for good coffee puns." —Joan Watson

Is your sister forever running late? After gifting her these pretty velvet scrunchies, she can simply throw her hair up in a pony or a (somewhat) neat bun, and head for the door!
Promising review: "Love these. Color variety is great. These are pretty and not slippy. I have very thick hair and I can wrap these three times for a tight fit and two times for a looser fit. Beautiful color selection in muted but rich tones. I also got another collection in the brighter, vivid tones and have pretty much every color under the sun for every season and holiday now!" —K.Markey

My coworker AnaMaria Glavan is passionate about this product. Here's what she had to say:
"Believe the hype: this magic bottle is proof that not all heroes wear capes. The creamy formula, which comes in blond, black, clear, and brown (which is what I used!), goes on smoothly and doesn’t require a lot of product to do the job. I used the wand to brush baby hairs in the beginning/middle of my brow upwards, and then brushed the longer, toddler-like hairs at the end of my eyebrows, sideways. And one coat was more than enough! Boy Brow does what exactly what the Glossier brand claims to do; it gives me a filled-in eyebrow that doesn’t look filled in. The finish looks natural, which is exactly what I wanted — my facial caterpillars have never looked better."

Get them from Loft for $24.59 (available in three colors).
Promising review: "I have a $120 faux fur throw and this one is so much better! I was concerned the lining would be rough but it is super soft. It is luxurious (better than the picture) and so soft and cuddly. It is super thick but not heavy. I accidentally ordered two and am keeping both. Love this product." —K Shopper
Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in five sizes and 20 colors).
Ok, ok. Maybe my sister already bought this for me and I'm obsessed with it — which is why I know it's an awesome gift! It's my favorite thing to start my pampering with, but I also use it in the morning before I apply any makeup. All you have to do is pop the separate roller piece into your freezer and you'll be ready to de-puff in no time.
Promising review: "This ice roller arrived just in time for yet another migraine, so I pulled it out of the freezer and it felt amazing! I also used it across a few eczema patches on my legs and it helped so much to calm the intense itch. I can think of so many more first aid uses for this product and cant wait to test it out!" —Kimberly G

Everyone can use a new cozy cardigan — your sister included. Make her day by gifting her one of these snuggly suckers for the holidays. Snag one for yourself while you're at it!
Promising review: "So soft and comfortable!! Fits really big though. I got an extra large, which is my normal size but definitely could’ve gone with a large. I would suggest sizing down. I love oversized sweaters though! It’s 100% acrylic so it doesn’t shrink, which is nice. It’s also super soft without being scratchy. I love the cable-knit design! It’s washed really well and I want it in all the other colors now!" —Amazon Customer

My fellow BuzzFeed editor Maitland Quitmeyer loves this thing. Here's what she had to say:
"The acne scars on my cheeks from a series of breakouts are fading fast, and I get new acre very rarely — they're more like a pimple here and there occasionally when I have to fly somewhere (curse you, dry airplanes) or get stressed or.... who even knows why my skin freaks out sometimes. Never thought I'd ever put a no-makeup selfie on the internet, but that's how much I love this thing."

I invested in one of these kits over two years ago and it's one of my favorite purchases to-date. And who better to learn about your DNA and ethnicity with than your sisters? My sisters and I loved seeing the percentage breakdown of each nationality once the results came back.
Get it from BuzzFeed's Good Advice Cupcake line at Hot Topic for $22.90+ (available in sizes S–3XL)
Promising review: "It’s fun but doesn’t take itself too seriously. The stripes are flattering, not goofy, and the pockets make this different than my other sweaters and adds a little bit. I sized way up to wear it with leggings/slouchy with jeans. The material is super soft and feels really nice too!" —MKZIM

Does your sister prefer convenience over everything else? Then she is sure to love this lil' wallet. It has compartments for her phone, cash, and credit cards. It comes in SO many colors — she's gonna love it.
Promising review: "I literally just got this wallet today and I’m in love! First and foremost, let’s talk about the packaging. That alone deserves 5 stars. The box the wallet came in is so fancy and classy. When it comes to the wallet, its material is sturdy and the color is very appealing to the eyes. I love how it came with a wristlet. I can foresee it coming in handy when carrying a purse would be too much. This wallet is very spacious and it can hold all my IDs, credit, and store cards with ease. I haven’t put my checkbook in there yet, but they is definitely enough space for it. I hope that this wallet will serve its purpose for years to come." —LesLeaLuvShopping

These lil' cuties are made of ceramic and come in a set of six. They're a fun way to add a touch of whimsy to your sister's home and are honestly just adorable. She'll be asking, "HOO got me this amazing present?!"
Promising review: "These little owl planters are super adorable (without being too cutesy) and nice quality. They are small though. The opening in the top is about 1.5 to 1.75 inches. It's a nice size for small succulents. They also have that oh-so-important drainage hole. I love them and may buy more to use as gifts." —Mich81
Get a set of six from Amazon for $17.99.
You might think 20 succulents seems like bit much, but you're wrong. I gave out succulent plants as my wedding favor and had friends clamoring for more. My very own two sisters took about 10 plants each, proving the point that you can truly never have enough of these tiny living cuties.

Promising review: "Let me start by saying this isn't my first cat eye rodeo. I've tried the taping method, normal liquid liner, plastic winged stamping devices, stencils, all of it! Well, this gem arrived and I immediately had to try it out, all while laughing at how terrible this would probably turn out...but to my surprise I put the left cat eye on first and it was perfect. I thought this was a fluke and did the right eye...again, it came out clean and perfect! I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE BEEN ABLE TO DO A CAT EYE IN UNDER 10 MINUTES, LET ALONE THE TWO MINUTES THIS TOOK TO DO! There were no sloppy streaks that I had to touch up or anything you would expect. Just a clean crisp line. I can now do a cat eye EVERY day and look/feel like a badass. Everyone can think I spend hours doing my makeup in the morning." —LadyMeow

My dad's favorite "threat" is that he's going to kick me and my sisters off the beloved family phone plan. It's a fear the three of us equally share, so it would only be fitting to gift one another protective (but cute!) phone cases. This one features a shock-absorbent bumper and a scratch-resistant back plate. Here's to hoping our phones last another year.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this case! It fits my XR perfectly, giving a safe amount of protection without being too bulky. The front screen protector is also great. I was worried it was going to make the screen less responsive and be in the way but I honestly can’t tell it’s there. Overall, very happy with the case." —Allison Kagle

Get it from Sephora for $30 (available in five variations).
Promising review: "Believe it or not, I don't like coffee, or anything that smells like coffee. Because caffeine is in so many firming products, I decided to give it a try. The scrub is quite coarse, and not something you'd use on thin skin like your face or the back of your hands, but it is AMAZING for legs, abs, and booty firming." —Kindle Customer

Amazing quality and endless possibilities with what to say. It looks just like as advertised. I love the grey as well because it’s not as harsh and has a more earthy light feel.

I think nearly every member of my family now has an Amazon Fire TV Stick. My sisters were fighting over one for a while until one caved and finally bought her own — that's how much we love this product. Movie marathons will never be the same after buying this little gadget, you and your siblings can truly watch anything your hearts desire.
Promising review: "I've been using the Fire Stick for about two years, so I was a little skeptical ordering the 4G stick. That 'skeptical' label can be removed right now. App downloads are much shorter, and the picture is much sharper. So far it hadn't needed re-powering (like when the old stick became stuck). All that might change next week, but right now I think Amazon has hit a home run with this product." —J. Henson
