Reese's fabulous creation makes for a lovely addition to anyone's coffee table, but the real magic will happen when they open it up. This book is filled with tidbits on Southern style paired with contemporary flair.

Price: $22.46 (for a signed copy, originally $35).

Price: $35.99 (available on CD for $12.99).

5. The Nook GlowLight 3, which will have your bookworm buddy jumping up and down with excitement.

barnesandnoble.com

The Nook allows you to read comfortably at any time of the day thanks to its Night Mode abilities. It also has a soft-touch finish for easy gripping, and page-turning buttons for a seamless reading experience. While I'm a hardcover kinda girl, I have friends who swear by their Nook — and I may just be able to be convinced to pick this up for myself!

Promising review: "The feel in the hand is fantastic, but my favorite feature has to be the new auto-adjusting glowlight. It seamlessly changes between cool blue in the day to warm sepia in the evening. It may be all in my head, but this makes a huge difference reading at night — much more comfortable. The software remains easy to use and minimal in a good way. I tested the device with library downloads, and had no problem loading EPUB books onto the device. This is much improved from the previous model. Overall, very highly recommended!" —Chodrak

Price: $119.99 (available refurbished for $89.99).

6. This soothing mini candle from Magnolia Home to add a dose of calmness to anyone's home.

No one doesn't love receiving a candle, and that's a fact. I personally have an entire drawer filled with them...and still wouldn't mind being gifted another. This 3 oz. candle burns for 20 hours and has a charming scent inspired by red berries, warm vanilla, and honeyed amber. Highly recommended for the person on your list who continues to stump you each year.

Promising review: "I laughed all the way through this book. I am giving both of my granddaughters it to add to their library. I liked that it showed a not-so-perfect donkey so that I can explain that everyone and everything is their own unique person, or in this case, animal." —Luvs2Read

Price: $7.99

12. This Totoro calendar, which will never go out of style on a home or office desk.

barnesandnoble.com

Don't tell my husband, but I've seen him eyeing this exact calendar every time we've perused Barnes and Noble. And I can't blame him — it's adorable!

14. This tribute to Mister Rogers in case you're hoping to make a parent cry this holiday.

barnesandnoble.com

Happy tears, of course! If you can remember watching Mister Rogers' Neighborhood with your parents, you can be sure they remember watching with you too. They'll love reliving those memories while learning about an American icon through The Good Neighbor: The Life and Work of Fred Rogers.

Promising review: "I learned so much about the man behind the cardigan. I really enjoyed learning what made him tick. I had no idea how complex of a man he was. I never realized what a pioneer he was in television, public television, and in children’s programming. The book is thorough and well-thought-out. It is slow- paced and unassuming, like the man himself. There are no false dramatics to make it more exciting. But it didn’t bother me. I rather enjoyed it. It takes you way back and made me long to hear him sing 'Won’t You Be My Neighbor' one more time." —PattySmith87

Price: $24 (originally $30).

15. A coding and robotics starter set for the kiddo who has been begging for a robot of their own.

barnesandnoble.com

Can we talk about the fact this lil' robot is shaped like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich? His name is Sammy (aw!) and he teaches children about basic coding principles with the help of code cards. The kit also comes with 30 additional lessons in computer science, perfect for kids ages 4 and up.

Price: $129.99

16. This 1,000-piece Bambi puzzle that any homebody will love using as an excuse not to go out.

There are few things as soothing as hunkering down on a rainy or snowy night to work on a massive puzzle like this one.

Honestly this gift is ideal for anyone who loves both the magic of Disney and the comfort of hanging out at home.

18. Nicholas Sparks' latest love story for the hopeless romantic in your life.

barnesandnoble.com

I have read SO many Nicholas Sparks novels in my day and I know most of my friends (and our moms) have as well. Any devoted Sparks fan would be lying if they didn't say they're just waiting to get their hands on his latest book, Every Breath. This story was inspired by an actual mailbox on a beach in North Carolina, so after gifting this book maybe y'all can go on a road trip!

Promising review: "Loved this book!! Could not put it down!! Highly recommend!! I am so anxious to visit Kindred Spirit, this book was so well-written and broke my heart. Can't wait for more beautiful stories from this very talented author. Nicholas Sparks, you rock!!!" —Anonymous

Price: $16.80 (originally $28).

19. A trendy lunch bag to accompany your BFF to work or school each day.

barnesandnoble.com

Brown-bagging it has never looked so cute! I can't help but think of "Strawberry Fields Forever" when I glance at this fruity lunch tote. Featuring pretty, gold bow zippers and a practical handle, this Kate Spade tote will be much appreciated by your commuter friends.

Price: $30

20. This debut book from Justin Timberlake that will have any old-school NSYNC fans internally (or externally) screaming.

barnesandnoble.com

Honestly, the dazzling photo of JT on the cover would be enough to sell me. This book dives deep into Justin's observations and reflections on his own life and includes a bunch of personal photos. This is easily a go-to gift for anyone in your life who can't get enough of Justin Timberlake.

Price: $23.99 (originally $40).

21. A sticky note set for your work wife who actually is always "very busy."

Barnes & Noble

What could be better than a set of sticky notes in different sizes and designs?! Your closest work companion (or family member who is a workaholic) will love receiving this cute-but-actually-practical gift.

Price: $12

22. This tote that will prevent your book-obsessed friend from breaking their back carrying their latest read around town.

barnesandnoble.com

I once had to pause reading a biography about Queen Elizabeth II because it was too damn heavy to bring around with me each day. That unfortunate event probably could have been avoided if I had been gifted this tote! Not only is it perfect for lugging around novels, but it features a motivational quote that makes me just want to keep on reading. The bookworm in your life will certainly agree.

Price: $24

23. A young adult novel to make a person in your life who's dealing with anxiety feel less alone.

barnesandnoble.com

I cannot say enough about John Green's latest novel, Turtles All the Way Down. You may know him for other tearjerkers like The Fault in Our Stars or Paper Towns — and if you do, you're aware of how powerful his writing is. The characters in this story are enticing, relatable, and perfect for teaching someone in your life about mental illness in a way that doesn't feel too difficult to understand. This is a book that any reader would be happy to receive, I promise!

Promising review: "From the plot to the depiction of anxiety and cast of brilliant kids, I fell in love from beginning to end. The last half I couldn't stop crying...just too relatable, and like I said, how Green writes about Aza's anxiety is so true and painted so vividly, it truly hits close to home." —Anonymous

Price: $15.29 (originally $19.99)

24. This special version of Monopoly that is straight out of a galaxy far, far away.

barnesandnoble.com

The force is strong with this board game! This version of the classic Monopoly game celebrates the 40th anniversary of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope (the very first of the epic films). Can you imagine how excited the young jedi in your life would be to open this on Christmas morning?!

Price: $29.95

25. And Homebody by Joanna Gaines, to inspire your sister who is obsessed with Fixer Upper to do something with her own damn house!

barnesandnoble.com

...and to stop suggesting things I should do to mine. In Homebody: A Guide to Creating Spaces You Never Want to Leave, Joanna Gaines walks us through how to decorate our homes so that it reflects our personalities. I don't know about you, but I could use the help — and your friend or family member probably could, too!

Promising review: "Very, very helpful if you are looking for ideas for a remodel. Joanna is so talented and an inspiration to me. I love her style of decorating and I really like the book. It has a spot in the back for you to create your own floor plans which I think is super creative and different. The quality of the images and the publishing is also very good." —Anonymous

Price: $23.99 (originally $40).
