    20 Things From Amazon That Make Perfect Gifts

    Because 'tis always the season for gift-giving.

    1. A set of nonstick pots and pans that will be a sight for your minimalist sibling's sore eyes! They can get rid of practically all the old cookware they inherited from your parents since this set includes everything from frying pans and sauté pans to even a casserole dish and a steamer. And it all comes in a cute beige granite color, too!

    2. And you can finish their gift set off with an enameled Dutch oven that they'll use endlessly, whether they're baking sourdough, stewing some veggies, or making a soup.

    3. A pack of TikTok-favorite velour blending sponges if your boujee friend is also pretty obsessed with a perfect makeup application every time. These sponges have a pointed tip to make baking those hard-to-reach areas (like the inner eyes and corners of the mouth) a breeze!

    4. A mini projector — with a projector screen included (!!) — so that your cinephile bestie can enjoy the gift of endless streaming! This projector plus a movie popcorn sampler is really all they'll need for an at-home theater experience — either inside or outside!

    5. A copy of Wreck This Journal to let your sibling's inner artiste shine. This journal is quite the opposite of an organizer or Bullet Journal. Instead of helping them become more efficient, it offers prompts to ~destroy~ the pages for the sake of creating art. This journal is pretty cathartic, especially with prompts that allow your giftee to let their imagination run wild with paint, colored pencils, collage, or even makeup.

    6. A 2-quart ice cream machine that is the gift that keeps on giving. This is a perfect housewarming gift for a young family since they can create homemade ice cream, sorbet, or frozen yogurt — all with ingredients they can actually pronounce. But the best part? All this ice cream maker needs is a power outlet and freezer bowl — no rock salt or ice necessary! So easy!

    7. A hand massager, because who wouldn't want a knot-relieving hand massage after a long day of typing?! This massager uses heat, air pressure, and four kneading heads to help relieve pain and discomfort in your giftee's digits. This is perfect if your S.O. is always making puppy eyes at you for a hand rub, even when your post-WFH hands are aching themselves.

    8. A butterfly-growing kit so that the aspiring entomologist in your life can have a project that's fun *and* educational. This kit allows them to witness the magical process of metamorphosis — from caterpillar to chrysalis to butterfly. Plus, the butterflies will be ready for release once the spring comes!

    9. A Dazzle Dry nail polish kit that I personally swear by for a salon-quality "lip gloss" manicure in a flash. This nail polish dries in mere minutes (but actually, minutes) and lasts a while — perfect for the person on your list who has just a few moments in their day for "me time."

    10. A SmileDirectClub teeth-whitening kit reviewers say causes an instant difference after just one use! This kit uses LED light which is far gentler than whitening strips — perfect for the person you love who wants bright pearly whites but doesn't want to do too much damage to their enamel.

    11. A classic handheld water game for anyone who pines after both nostalgia and stress-reducing gadgets. This works just like the old-school water games that "shoot" tiny rings up within the toy to land onto a dolphin's nose! And it comes in a darling dolphin or pelican design — honestly, does a cuter gift even exist?

    12. An iTouch Air 3 smartwatch that works just like an Apple Watch but at a fraction of the cost! This watch is great for tracking steps, monitoring heart rate, tracking sleep, and even pushing call, text, email, and social media notifications to your giftee's wrist. They'll have all the benefits of a smartwatch, and you'll benefit from not dropping some serious cash this year!

    13. A grilling spice set aka the ideal gift for grilling novices to pros! These spices work well with meat, veggies, or fish, and come in smaller sizes so that your giftee can test out different flavors without crowding their cupboard.

    14. A Kindle Paperwhite fabric cover so that your book-loving roommate can decorate their e-reader for a truly personal-to-them experience while they nosedive into their favorite novels.

    15. A cute wireless keyboard matches your pastel-loving friend's decor while helping them up the ergonomic factor in their WFH setup. They can connect this keyboard to any monitor, laptop, tablet, or phone with Bluetooth capabilities to help align their typing posture. (As opposed to being hunched over any of the aforementioned devices!) Plus, this keyboard has settings that allow it to connect to multiple devices simultaneously, which makes switching from emails on a monitor to texting on the phone a breeze!

    16. A LARQ pitcher that filters water in not just one, but TWO ways! First, water passes through a plant-based filter to trap contaminants, as most water filter pitchers do. What set this one apart is that it features a *second* filtration process that uses UV-C LED lights to stop the contaminant growth inside the pitcher. I have this pitcher, and — as a type-A person regarding cleanliness — I would gladly gift this to anyone who drinks water (meaning, I would gift this to everyone I know).

    17. A soundbar to go with the new computer or TV they just got for their birthday. This soundbar is just 15 inches long, which is why a ton of people love using this in RVs or with their kitchen TVs.

    18. A farmhouse detergent bin for your pal whose house looks like it's in the middle of a lavender grove in France. This detergent bin has a scoop for powdered detergent, but can also hold detergent pods.

    19. A Bob Ross mug that may seem minimal as your giftee opens their package (it's just an image of Bob Ross on a black background), but turns into a masterpiece when its warmed up. Now, they'll be able to see all the happy little clouds whenever they fancy a cup of coffee or tea.

    20. And a 40-ounce tumbler with a straw and a handle so that your friend who's always on the go can make sure they're hitting their water goals in style. This tumbler has double-wall insulation to keep cold drinks cool and hot drinks warm for hours — and it has a cool tapered design that'll *actually* fit in car drink compartments!
