Goodbye bickering — you're gonna win your sibling over this holiday.
If MY siblings are listening — I'd like one of these tees, thanks.
Get it from ForensicsandFlowers on Etsy for $26.98 (available in unisex sizes XS–3X and three colors).
Promising review: "This is an absolute adorable sweater! I love the combination of colors and the quality of the material is great. The fit is flattering and it runs true to size. Would highly recommend this sweater as a gift or an addition to your fall/winter wardrobe." —Amanda Greer
Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and four styles).
I recently tried Olive and June's nail polish and was quite impressed. It went on very smoothly and didn't chip even after a week! I personally have this "Pink Sweater" set on my holiday wish list — I love how these colors will work all year long. This brand is also proudly 7-free, which means it doesn't contain harmful chemicals that most polishes do.
Get it from Olive and June for $40 (available in six styles).
So many of my friends have bought this brush and it was all my mom requested for Mother's Day this year. It's becoming a must-have for anyone who loves a blowout but doesn't have the patience to go get one or lacks the skills to get it done nicely themselves — seriously it has over 7K five-star reviews on Amazon! I'm currently waiting for mine to arrive because, OBVIOUSLY, I had to get one for myself!
Promising review: "I love this hairdryer!! I bought it because I broke my shoulder and only have the use of one arm. Before my shoulder was broken, I used a very expensive hairdryer and the best brushes. This hairdryer works better than all of my high end products. I'll never go back. The brush is big and I was concerned that it would be too much for my short hair. It will work great on any length hair. The bristles grab even the shortest hair and dry it smooth and soft. My hair is naturally curly and before trying this dryer, I'd dry my hair, straighten it, and then use hot rollers. I am now achieving the same results with the Revlon dryer. I haven't written a review on a product in years but needed to share my experience with this dryer. It's worth every penny!" —M J
Get it from Amazon for $38.99+ (available in three styles).
I bought my husband one of these as a surprise last Christmas and it's one of his favorite pieces of clothing. It's super snuggly and plush and the detailing on the zippers and pockets adds an extra pop of color. Patagonia jackets last forever — I can't recommend it enough.
Promising review: "Love the Retro-X, I’ve been wearing Patagonia gear for over 20 years and am always impressed by the workmanship, quality and longevity of their products. This recently purchased Retro-X jacket does not disappoint. Patagonia is the best!!" —Bruno L.
Get it from Patagonia for $199 (available in men's sizes 2XS–2XL and five styles).
This 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. AND my sister is the one who bought it for me — so I already know it's an A+ sibling gift.
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in seven colors).
Get it from Alex and Ani for $38.
I actually did buy this for my best friend when she was starting to get so stressed out about her daily migraines. It helped immensely!
Promising review: "I can't give this product enough stars! I have suffered from debilitating chronic migraines for years. Prescription medications, while effective, usually make me extremely tired and result in rebound headaches, so I rarely take them. This oil blend is especially great for the days when I have a migraine, but am unable to stay home and rest. This takes the edge off the pain enough that I am still able to go about my day and do everything I need to do. I also love the way it smells. I sometimes roll it on my wrists just to enjoy the energizing fragrance." —Lacey V
Get it from Amazon for $10.99.

I have this sweatshirt and cannot wait to wear it all throughout the holiday season. It's very cozy and, of course, pays tribute to my favorite artist. You can find me and my sister wearing these while singing to Taylor's holiday album.
Get it from IdeasByArianna on Etsy for $35.25 (available unisex sizes XS–5XL and three colors).
Promising review: "I've had this ring for about two weeks now and just had to write a review. I've had the nervous/bored habit of picking at my fingers since I was a kid. I can't remember the last time I've not had at least one nail bed torn up and bloody. For people with similar habits, I can't recommend this ring enough. It's a great, non-distracting way to redirect fidgety behaviors. I've worn it every day since receiving it and for the first time in years I have intact nail beds! Every time I catch myself starting to pick at a dry patch of skin or uneven cuticle on my finger, I rotate the ring a few times and the impulse disappears." —KGL
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in sizes 4–12 and seven styles).
Get it from BaubleBar for $58 (available in two chain lengths, two metals, four monogram sizes, and 12 colors).
Promising review: "I’ve been having so many issues with my feet the last few years. My feet hurt so bad, it’s made me become a hermit. I’ve had tendinitis in both and now plantar fasciitis. I get foot cramps all the time. After just one day with this under my desk at work, I feel a huge difference. My feet no longer feel tight and painful. They feel tingly — in a good way. I look forward to being able to go for a walk and not have to rest along the way. I know it’s meant for feet but I may try it out on my calves. I also love that it’s small, looks nice and doesn’t slide around. I highly recommended this for anyone, foot issues or not, if you sit a lot. Nice way to keep the blood flowing when stuck at a desk." —Vanessa Thomas
Get it from Amazon for $17.95.
Note: this is only for the pillow case, so be sure to also pick up a filler pillow here :)
Promising review: "I bought this as a birthday gift for my boyfriend. The material was thicker than I originally thought it would be, you cannot see the pillow through the case (I used a dark brown pillow). The sewing is well done and the invisible zipper on the bottom seems secure. It fit perfectly over a standard throw pillow. It seems like it will be pretty durable considering it's for decoration. Highly recommend." —Ashley Romano

Promising review: "I had my grandmother's handwritten recipe printed for my mom for Mother's Day and she cried when she opened it. It was beautiful and the perfect personal gift!" —rachaelziemer
Get it from AUdesignsStudio on Etsy for $54.95+ (available in six sizes and two styles).
Promising review: "I'm having a blast with this miniature Magic 8 Ball. It sits on the table by my recliner for easy access. With it, I'm now free of the majority of decision-making in my life which relieves me of any stress, anxiety, or uncertainty that might come over me at any moment. I no longer have to take any responsibility for my actions; I can just blame it on the 8 Ball. It fits easily into almost any sized pocket, so, if I'm going out, I can take it along and let it play the same role in my life. This ability to take my new decision-maker with me in smaller form is great! It's a nice return to my childhood, inexpensive, and a much-needed reprieve from the stress of our contemporary society. Everyone should have one and have some light-hearted fun!" —ALW

My sister and I agreed to split our Disney+ subscription and we've had the best time talking about which movies and shows we've watched / which ones we need to wait and watch together.

Excuse me, I'm getting sentimental and I think there's a piece of pixie dust in my eye.

Promising review: "I love this thing! The print is nice and large, and the spiral binding is super nice. The paper is still newspaper-y which makes it feel like a newspaper crossword without having to lug around a newspaper. I use erasable pens, and they erase great. The boxes are plenty big enough for the letters and the crosswords are all appropriately 'Monday' difficulty. Great thing to have! Can’t wait to finish it and move on to Tuesday!" —Amazon Customer

I've introduced everyone in my life to this delectable condiment. Mike's Hot Honey is sweet with a kick of heat — you'll want to pour it over everything you eat. I personally love it on chicken cutlets and pepperoni pizza, but do with it what you will!
Promising review: "I tend to shy away from spicy foods, but I couldn’t resist the opportunity to try a new condiment to liven up snacks and recipes with. I was afraid the spice would be overpowering, but it’s actually quite mellow and smooth; just the right touch of heat. So far, I’ve enjoyed this on fruit salad (banana/strawberry/blueberry) with cottage cheese and drizzled on the original Chick-fil-A sandwich....so delicious!" —Sleeps in Rain

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

Promising review: "SUPER soft throw! This throw is so soft and cozy that my whole family fights over it. The color is beautiful and it looks and feels much more expensive than it is. I have other much pricier throws and this one beats the expensive ones in every category. This throw is softer, warmer, bigger, and so much prettier in person. I want one in every color. Based on the way my family is fighting over it I might need one in every color! So far the cat is winning." —Kathy

Inkbox has tons of options — one is sure to spark your sibling's interest. All they have to do is peel the white backing off the tattoo, place it wherever they'd like on their body, wipe it with alcohol, microwave the cloth so it's warm to the touch, press down on the tattoo, peel it off slowly, and let it develop over the next 24 hours. They can even customize their own design!

Promising review: "I have a hard time with statement jewelry because they are typically pretty heavy and I end up having to take them off quickly. These however are very lightweight. I wore them to dinner over the weekend and didn't have any issues with them. They are very cute and went perfectly with my outfit. I would recommend these for a pop of color to any outfit!" —Lindsey Barlow
Get them from Amazon for $7.99 (available in eight styles).
I gifted this ring to my sister for her birthday and she wears it all the time. It matches so many other baubles she has and feels really well made. The only thing I'd note is that this ring runs a size small.

I was amongst the earlier participants of 23andMe right when it came out — I couldn't wait to learn more about myself and my ancestral background! It was really exciting to share my findings with my family, making it feel like a gift for all of us. Just note that results can take up to eight weeks, depending on processing time.

Acrylic-anything has been so trendy lately and I couldn't help but get on the bandwagon via these clips. I've been wearing them for about a month now and really love them. They are really sturdy and don't slip out of my hair whether it's straightened or naturally in waves. The set comes with 10 so I was able to share with my sister, too!

I was gifted a year of Book of the Month for my birthday one year and to date it is one of the best things I've received. There are few things as satisfying as getting truly lost in the pages of a good book — and it'll provide for a great distraction for your mind if you've recently been watching something super scary. Each month you'll be permitted to choose one of four books, all of which are different genres. Then the book you selected will be delivered to your door. Magic! Excuse me, I need to re-up my subscription.

Promising review: "I love these bookmarks and will never use anything else! They are durable, not picking up any scratches or picks and staying shiny. They are a nice, thin metal, so they don't make your book bulky. They fit between the pages of a hard cover or paperback perfectly. They are not easy to lose, I still have the whole set." —Khia Morgan

If it were up to me, I would leave my Christmas lights up inside my home all year long. These twinkle lights are a great way to create that look without being overtly holiday-themed. Tinker Bell would certainly approve!
Promising review: "I saw a few pictures online of fairy lights with sheer curtains and loved the look. These lights in particular are perfect for what I was looking for. It gives off a warm cozy glow, and really adds a nice touch of oomph to the room." —NG

My colleague Mallory Mower had one of these made of herself and when it arrived we both squealed in delight for what seemed like hours. Here's what she had to say about her experience:
"I never knew what a doll I was until I got this li'l cutie in my life. The design process is simple and super satisfying. Just upload a photo with the outfit you want the doll to have, fill out the included chart to make sure they know your exact eye color, skin tone, and hair color, approve the check made by the designers, and wait on your incredible custom piece! Get ready to have your self esteem hit unhealthily happy levels."

Lately I've been playing lighthearted games on the Nintendo Switch Lite to distract my mind from Sunday Scaries. Might I suggest picking up something extremely fun but VERY childish like the new Luigi's Mansion? Let yourself get immersed in his spooky lil' world instead of whatever Monday will bring.

Promising review: "This game is exactly like the older versions (red, blue, yellow, etc.) but with better graphics/gameplay! I opened it and have not stopped playing since I got it! You level up your Pokémon through BATTLES with wild Pokémon, trainers, or gym leaders. Gotta catch 'em all!" —kevin joseph Sundquist

Promising review: "These cups are exquisite. I bought 3 and will get more! 1. they look exactly like the photos. Colors are vivid and beautiful 2. gold lettering is thick and still subtle (you can see it if you want to and you can watch it disintegrate too. Super well done) 3. ceramic is solid yet not clunky. Excellent quality 4. I love a good British cuppa, especially if its made out of fine bone china. These are not, yet hold the heat equally well and are almost as tender on the lip. Totally in love :)" —LiselFrench

I recently received one of these and it was SO difficult to choose what customizations to add. From initials, numbers, and a slew of icons, the hardest part about gifting this will be deciding what you want to put on it!

Promising review: "Let me start first by saying this is not a bag, this is a lifestyle, one I'd often dreamed of joining but never had the courage to let my fanny fly free, but after one late night lazily browsing Amazon for things I don't actually plan to buy, a miracle happened! a splash of rapturous fuchsia and far away galaxies found its way into my recommendations and I was never the same. And I won't be looking back, don't let fears keep you from the joy I know know, let yourself be hands free for life" —Morgan

Promising review: "Had been wanting a selenite lamp for a long time now. When the lightning deal came out on this, I knew it was the right time. Mine was about 9" and still fat which I wanted. The tall thin ones aren't as significant to me. The glow can be nice and bright or can be a glow that is dimmed. I prefer to use the dimmer setting to create a relaxing ambience after a long day. It was perfect for my relaxation space. Great quality and can be bright enough to work as a lamp simply for lighting." —TryMe

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.)"

Promising review: "Adorable. I love the way my charger looks now!!!! I've seen a lot of people bought this not knowing exactly what it was, so be aware of that before you buy: It's a sticker you put on your phone charger, not an actual phone charger, so be sure you're happy to pay this price for a sticker (and a few bonus stickers)!!! For me, it's definitely worth the price — my charger is adorable now. The sticker is holding up great, too. It's been months and it still looks as great as the day I bought it!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "This is such an awesome set. It's my favorite realistic space set and I thought nothing would beat the space shuttle. In my case, it's the perfect father and son build. (It's also great for father-daughter, mother-son/daughter, or just any person who likes to build LEGO!) It has some creative building and a lot of great little details. It has a high piece count for the price. And it's a crazy moon rocket! What can possibly compete?" —Michael
