    60 Little Gifts For Yourself That'll Make You Say "Happy Holidays To Me"

    It's about time we all cave and treat ourselves to that handy iced coffee carrier.

    1. A handheld lamp you will surely find yourself *mooning* over each night.

    Check out a TikTok of the moon lamp in action. 

    BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord is obsessed with this gadget:

    "UMMMM I bought this because it was on one of Amazon's top selling products pages for so long that I was like "Why are people so obsessed with this moon!!" And now, my friends, I know. First of all, it really does look hyper realistically like a small moon and adds a chill vibe wherever you plant it. But it's also just so soothing to watch and have in the periphery. You can control dozens of different colors for it and either keep it on those colors or have them alternate, fade quickly, or fade gradually. It's super easy to charge and controlled by a remote, so you can move it off its stand and have it light up wherever you want. These days I tend to turn it on for my designed ~me time~ night every week, in which I will light a candle, pour a glass of red wine, read a romance novel, and, of course, light my lil' moon. Definitely one of my favorite 'the internet made me do it' purchases."

    2. A blackhead scrub stick that'll exfoliate your clogged pores and remove excess sebum while also being a bit reminiscent of the adorable lil' character from Finding Nemo that said "you made me iiiink!"

    See it in action on BuzzFeed' Shopping's TikTok!

    Promising review: "Here’s the thing. A scrub is never going to solve your blackhead issues long term. But there is truly no other product like this. It’s an amazing quick fix to get your pores unclogged and less noticeable, and once you’ve done that, slap on some retinol/salicylic acid with a moisturizer. Adorable packaging, unique product, and effective!" —Molly

    Get it from Amazon for $12.50

    3. A bag of powdered cheddar, because if you're like me the moment anything bad happens (big or small) in my day I just want to curl up with a classic "boxed" mac 'n' cheese and de-stress. Perhaps not the healthiest coping mechanism, but it's mine.

    review image of super cheesy mac and cheese next to bag of powdered cheddar and pasta

    4. Crayola Globbles, a fun lil' toy you can use to burn off some steam in between meetings or when you just need a quick mental break. Don't worry, they won't leave residue on your walls.

    Promising review: "I waited over two months to write my review! My daughter is 4 and plays with these DAILY! YES they do attract dirt and hair HOWEVER they are so easy to rinse off, it's not a big deal! We took these to a family gathering and ended up giving two away because they were SO loved! The two we gave away went to a 12-year-old and my 19-year-old brother. They discovered throwing them at the ceiling fan and watching them shoot across the room which was pretty entertaining! None of these have busted or ripped and they are definitely NOT gentle with them! I will definitely be buying more!" —Kindle Customer

    5. A delicate initial necklace for anyone who prefers simple jewelry they can wear every day.

    6. BYO Blush Oil, which will make applying makeup easier than ever — it reacts with the pH of your skin to create the *perfect* blush shade!

    Youthforia is an Asian woman-owned small business established in 2020 that specializes in environmentally friendly, cruelty-free makeup made with at least 90% renewable ingredients.

    Fun fact: All of Youthforia's makeup is designed with ingredients that make it A-OK for your skin to sleep with it on! 

    BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord is a fan, she said: "I tried this out myself and I have to say, it is WILD watching it adjust to your skin's pH in real time. It was a very bright pink at first but super easy to spread — a bit like Glossier's Cloud Paint, except personalized. It's very long lasting, too — I applied in the morning and could still see a rosy glow by the end of the day. "

    Promising review: "Dewy and glowy. I tried it over makeup and it appeared as a strong pink shade but settled to a flushed, glowy color. I had my little sister try it too because I wanted to see the color change again and it lasted a really long time on her. The texture was smooth and it was easy to rub in and blend out." —Summer

    7. A gift assortment of Popbar hot chocolate sticks to upgrade your fave winter beverage from a standard powder hot chocolate mix to one you'd see the main character sipping on under twinkle lights in a Hallmark movie.

    13. An iced coffee holder, because it's totally fine if you fall into the category of people-who-drink-iced-drinks-all-year-round but your precious little hands shouldn't have to suffer the consequences of holding a chilled beverage mid-winter.

    Psst — I own one of these myself and love it for the convenience of texting on the go! These even have a holder for a straw if you happen to get iced coffee or bubble tea and don't want to stick the straw into the drink just yet. I've found this to be very sturdy and easy to use, plus they're a fun conversation starter — people always want to know where I got it! 

    Get it from VIS Paradise Goods on Etsy for $13.22+ (available in 5 colors and 10 option designs).

    Promising review: "Biggest thing since sliced bread. Do you hate it when you when can’t finish your soda or maybe don’t have time? If you're driving somewhere it’s difficult to handle a can drink sometimes, you’re trying to take a sip and all a sudden you hit a pot hole. Soda up your nose, down your chin, on your clothes. It doesn’t have to be that way anymore — with these you can enjoy you soda just like it was in a bottle. I was skeptical at first, but sold as soon as I put it on the can. I use it every day." —Jonesy

    Check out a TikTok of the mushroom nightlight in action. 

    Promising review: "I LOVE this night-light. It's in my bathroom and is a lovely addition. It turns off the second the lights go on, which is nice because I don't have to worry about accidentally leaving it on. Super cute and the little itty-bitty lighting element does a good job lighting, just enough so I don't have to turn the main lights on in the middle of the night." —1Thand

    Get it from Amazon for $6.87

    16. A too-cute wireless portable charger that'll likely be praised as your savior on more than one occasion if your phone just always happens to be dead when you need it most.

    Check out a TikTok of the portable charger in action.  

    Promising review: "The holy grail of portable chargers!!! I was traveling to Disney for vacation and knowing me, I would drain my battery with just taking pictures alone. I wanted a portable battery but didn’t want a carry a cord either, so I was excited when I found this little baby! It does exactly as described, pretty pink color, and I get one full charge of battery for my iPhone 11. Get it, you will not be disappointed!" —Meghan Doble

    17. Saucemoto dip clip, because eating fries while driving just tastes better and you shouldn't have to sacrifice your favorite dipping sauce to do so! Thanks to this lil' clip you really can have it all.

    Promising review: "How did I go so long without one of these??? The Saucemoto was my first 'TikTok Made Me Buy It' purchase and I have no regrets. It clips easily to my car's vent and the sauce cups clip in easily so I can dip and drive. No more trying not to dump the sauce by accident while steering with the same hand that's holding the dip cup. It even comes with a dip cup for those places that do the pouches for their sauces rather than the cups. (I'm looking at you, Arby's.) Ya know, you end up squeezing the sauce onto the wrapper that's balanced on your lap and you end up getting some sauce on your steering wheel. OR you try the whole 'wrapper and sauce on the passenger seat and try to dip while watching the road,' which usually doesn't turn out so great." —Pleasure Pamela

    Get set of two from Amazon for $10.95 (available in four colors and sets of four, six, and 10).

    18. Fabulous gold Barbie wineglasses, so when Margot Robbie's Barbie film hits streaming services you'll be able to celebrate properly.

    I've personally tested these out and they really are amazing. I have an 8-month-old so my nails definitely take a beating (diaper changes, washing bottles, laundry, tiny zippers and snaps, etc). These lasted a week on my nails — way longer than any other manicure I've had recently. Definitely recommend! 

    Promising review: "I saw these all over my TikTok FYP and was so curious to try them. The Mariposa nails are the first ones that I have tried and they are absolutely beautiful, and just after two days I have gotten so many compliments. The glue holds super well and the application process was super simple. I don't think that I will ever get acrylic nails again, as a set like this would likely be three times the price." —Leslie and Paige

    Get it from Amazon for $13.49+ (available in 22 styles). 

    20. A pound of cereal marshmallows to make up for all the years some adult discouraged you from having three helpings of Lucky Charms.

This journal may not start out as a personalized item, but it'll certainly be one when you're done with it.

    35. A Baby Yoda Bluetooth speaker that's *almost* as adorable as the real lil' guy in The Mandalorian, great for anyone who wants to blast their favorite tunes all across the galaxy.

    36. A milk frother to pack a powerful, spinning punch despite looking rather delicate. It'll help transform your at-home coffee into one worthy of an actual spot on your 'gram (seriously, a fleeting IG story simply won't do it justice!).

    37. "Sleepy" shower gel from Lush that'll bring all of the most soothing vibes you can possibly think of into your shower. It's filled with calming scents of lavender and ylang ylang oil to put you (and your skin) at ease.

    Ally Makes Magic is a woman-owned small business based in Jacksonville, Florida, that makes a variety of pop culture-inspired merch (I mean, just look at this "Getaway Car" sticker).

    I ordered this calendar the moment I saw it because... why not??? The illustrations are as beautiful as Taylor Swift in the 'Bejeweled' music video (if you know, you know) and the monthly themes are absolutely spot-on for Swifties. Seriously, I nearly cried when I discovered November's 'All Too Well' theme. However, my favorite part is the specially noted dates throughout! Every album release (up to Evermore) is written in the calendar! Sorry for the spoiler, but there are also adorable lyrics appropriately sprinkled throughout that you won't be able to help but squeal over. For example, January 1st reads, 'I'll be cleaning up bottles with you on New Year's Day' and September 12th says 'Dinner w/ Este.' You can find me counting down the days to January so I can break this beauty out and stare at it next to my desk. It's what Taylor would want, right?" 

    Promising review: "This calendar is even more than I expected! I love the details on the dates of when albums were released. The song quotes work perfectly. Bought for my friend and can't wait to give it to him!!" —Julie porter

    Get it from Ally Makes Magic on Etsy for $35.13

    55. Winky Lux Flower Balm you'll find simply magical when it goes on clear, then blossoms into the perfect shade of pink as it combines with your natural pH level. In addition to its lovely color, it'll keep your lips feeling fresh and hydrated.

    56. A double-layer glass to bring a touch of wintry whimsy to your morning.
