12. Or! Or! A splurge-worthy Vaio laptop if you really want to treat them to a high-performance, slim, and sleek laptop. This bad boy even has THX Spatial Audio for some *serious* sound quality — perfect for movie nights in their bedroom!
13. A handheld milk frother so they can make the coffee they make at home taste like they've just stepped foot into an artisanal coffee shop.
14. Simple hoops that'll immediately elevate their looks without having to put *any* more effort into their outfit of the day.
15. An attachable wine aerator that has a large aerating chamber and air intake system to infuse your wine with the ~OPTIMAL~ amount of oxygen, all without having to pour your wine into a separate aerator.
16. A sunrise simulation alarm clock because waking up with the sun (even on the darkest fall and winter days) can really put a pep in their step to be super productive before work.
This alarm clock allows you to set multiple alarms (one for weekdays and another for weekends or one for you and another for your spouse). You can choose from seven natural sounds, and the wake-up light has seven different colors and 20 levels of warm light. Basically, it can be customized just how you want it!
Promising review: "When the days get shorter in late summer/early fall, I struggle to wake up in the dark. And then I feel sleepy when I drive home in the dark but am then wide awake at bedtime. It’s a vicious cycle that spirals into seasonal depression. The last few years I’ve been experimenting with “happy lights”. At first they did nothing. Turns out that was because I didn’t start early enough in the season. (Starting in January doesn’t help… but starting in Sept/Oct does). Last week I started noticing my sleep issues were starting but I couldn’t find my normal light. And I found the best option on Amazon! I can set the wake up time and how long the light eases into max brightness (and I can set how bright the max level is). And I pop awake about 10 minutes into the “sunrise” cycle. It has a sunset cycle and you can determine how long it takes to go from bright to dark. I’ve tried 90 and 120 minutes which great success!" —Kris J.

19. A sleeping eye mask with built-in Bluetooth headphones that will allow them to listen to their favorite sleep sounds with no disruptions, like their partner's snoring.
20. A sushi roll-inspired pack of socks because every time you suggest getting take-out, they *always* request sushi night.
21. A bottomless wineglass that'll probably cause a few giggles and eye-rolls when they see it, but don't be surprised when you catch them actually using it.
22. A dishwasher-safe cold-brew maker because why leave the house and drive to a coffee shop when they can have barista-style cold brew right at home?
23. A burrito blanket that combines their two favorite things: being cozy on the couch and also burritos.
24. The New York Times Best of the Week Series: Monday Crosswords book because hasn't everyone thought once in their life how much they'd love to be able to just do these for fun?

27. And a rose-gold rechargeable electric lighter to replace those disposable matchsticks they keep having to run out to buy more of and ugh, who wants to do that when they can stay at ✨ home ✨ ?
28. A classic PlayStation console complete with 20 games, two wired controllers, a virtual memory card, and the HDMI cable you probably need — not to brag but I bought this console for my husband last Christmas and I won Christmas. Like, you probably didn't even know it was a contest, but it was and I won.
29. A pair of cozy ear muffs that not only will keep their ears *so* warm on their way to work, but they'll look so dang cute doing it.
I got these in white and I absolutely LOVE wearing them during those extra crispy fall nights here in New England. They're also perfect for winter, of course!

37. And finally, a Filtrete air purifier that will help significantly reduce allergens in their home like pet hair, dander, and dust. This true HEPA filter sucks up bacteria- and odor-filled particles to improve the air quality, so their home can finally feel clean everyday. My fiancé is allergic to cats and this purifier has helped with his allergies so much!
It cleans a room up to 250 square feet and has a timer and built-in replacement indicator to tell you when to replace its (included) filters.
Promising review: "I’m obsessed with this! Definitely worth the money! I have three large shedding dogs and this has decreased the amount of dander, smell, and hair in my home! I just cleaned my house and I could notice a huge difference in dust!" —Kayla Hastie
