    61 Practical Gifts For Your Parents You Might Want To Buy Right This Minute

    Apologies to your sibling, but you're definitely winning the gifting game this year.

    1. A pack of Skin1004's zombie masks your parents will have a blast applying, taking silly pics of each other looking like they've been cast in The Walking Dead, and then enjoying the benefits it'll leave add to their skin.

    The kit includes eight Zombie Pack sets (powder and activator), plus one applicator brush!

    Promising review: "When you put it on, the smell hits you hard. As it is on your face the smell is not too bad and the mask tingles as it dries. Wash it off and reveal clean, smooth skin. Plus fun to take pictures looking like a cracked mess." —raine

    Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with 2-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).

    3. A hydrating sweet candy-flavored Laneige lip mask to keep their lips nice 'n' soft throughout the winter months when they tend to get dry and cracked (and encourage them not to pick at their pout when they're stressed).

    4. A set of matte hair clips to ensure that even on their messiest of hair days they'll still look fabulous. You're SUCH a good kid.

    8. A luggage drink caddy they can attach to their wheeled luggage — it'll become their saving grace when traveling during the busiest times of year. They can use it to hold their coffee, phone, ID, etc., and prevent them from fumbling around for all those items while heading to the gate at the airport.

    Promising review: "This cup holder is perfect! It helps me a lot! Last time I took a plane with a suitcase and a cup of coffee, when it’s my turn to check my passport and ticket, the coffee cup fell to the ground and coffee sprinkled. It was a nightmare! This time I bought this cup holder, it did do me a favor! I don't have to worry about where my cup and phone are! I can free my hands to do other things. I love it so much! Hope you love it too." —Philip

    29. A cleaning pen to help your jewelry-obsessed parent keep their gems sparkling.

    30. A Meta Portal, a must-have if you and your parents live on different ends of the country — it'll provide you with a way to feel connected and hang out at any time (which may be a blessing and a curse if your mom is like mine and wants to chat 24/7 😉).

    37. A pack of oven liners to protect the bottom of their oven from any overflow/oozing and let them continue on pretending they're competing on The Great British Baking Show worry free.

    39. A rustic wooden stand that'll hold their cookbook or tablet so they'll be able to follow along with any recipe hands-free (here's to hoping it's for their famous chocolate chip cookies you've been craving).

    44. An Always Pan, complete with a nonstick surface, a vented top, a mesh basket for steaming, and a high-quality spoon that hooks onto the handle — they'll basically only ever want to use this pan. My apologies to their current ones.

    45. A set of socks to keep your loved one's toes toasty all winter long — beware, you'll probably want to pick up some for yourself!

    46. A subscription to Book of the Month for any bibliophile who hates having to actually speak to someone in a store about what they should read next and would much rather have their next fave novel delivered to their door.

    47. A pack of colorful silicone straws they can use with their morning cup of iced coffee.

    56. A massage roller they can use to apply acupressure on the bothersome parts of their feet to make them feel fantastic before heading off to bed. It's so easy to use they can roll away without taking their eyes off of the TV.

    gray sneakers with treads
