We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
1. Foodheim: A Culinary Adventure, a copy of Eric Wareheim's cookbook, for your buddy who has been *super* into Tim & Eric for a long time, and is just getting into cooking, too! This book includes an array of recipes, from burgers and soppressata to honey pizza to the perfect Negroni cocktail, all of which are Eric Wareheim-approved.
2. A Kate Spade graphic tote bag so that your bookworm friend can avoid the translucent tote trend, while still showing everyone around them what's inside — books on books on books!
3. A silicone crab utensil rest for your friend who is SO excited for the live-action Little Mermaid *and* so excited to cook some stews this winter.
4. A large Cuisinart food processor, because here's the thing: cooking itself doesn't typically take a long time — it's the chopping and prep work that goes into cooking that can make someone rather order takeout after a tiring day. This chops onions and blends sauces like pesto in a jiffy, perfect for your kid who would cook their meals, if only they had the time.
5. A set of workout bangles for the new parent, friend with two jobs, or anyone else who is always looking to maximize every part of their busy routine. I love to wear these while I workout, of course, but also when I do chores! I say, why not add some cardio to otherwise boring tasks?!
6. A set of exfoliating gloves, because exfoliation is one of the best ways to keep the skin on the body soft! These gloves are also great for people with keratosis pilaris (KP), so consider this for the person you know that's always looking for ways to baby bum skin.
7. A Philips compact pasta maker that mixes, kneads, and forms pasta in as little as 18 minutes! This will go down as the best wedding gift of all time for your cousin who LOVES pasta. Molto benne! Bellissimo! Chef's kiss! are just a few of the things they'll exclaim after using this bad boy.
8. A heatless curling rod headband if your bestie reserves around 40–60 minutes in their morning routine for curling their hair. They can wear this to bed at night and wake up with bouncy, voluminous waves in the morning — no heat tools required!
9. A cold brew coffee maker for your mate who cannot stop ordering cold brews from the cafe by your house every. single. day. With this, they'll not only be able to save time and money — they'll also be able to blend different flavors of coffee beans to fit their personal taste preferences.
10. A toothbrush holder and dispenser that's all over TikTok. It's both charming and functional, and (most importantly) gives your neat and tidy roommate something to calm their nerves over the current counter situation in your bathroom.
11. An LED lamp with a touch sensor that, yes, may seem like an unusual gift but if your roommate is always on the hunt for items that will help them create the *perfect* lighting experience in their room, then they'll love this lamp with three (!!) levels of brightness.
12. A sheep toilet paper holder that holds eight rolls of TP at a time! Help your parents say goodbye to the stack of toilet paper piling up on top of their toilet, and hello to the cutest addition to their WC they ever did see.
13. A pack of wool socks to up the ante on your giving-socks-as-a-gift game. These are made from warm and cozy wool and come in designs that your cabincore fanatic friend will appreciate.
14. A broad spectrum sunscreen, because even though there's less and less sunlight during the day, that doesn't mean the sun stops shining its UV rays onto our skin! This sunscreen is a fan-favorite for those with sensitive or acne-prone skin, so add this to your cart for the person you know who has skin sensitivities to practically everything.
15. A light-up dream catcher for the person you know who is always logging notes down in their dream journal. This'll look *so* cute hanging above their bed, and gives them a night light option for reading sessions that go into the wee hours of the morning! (Can I get a, "oh yeahhh" for 2-in-1 gifts???)
16. A Bob Ross Chia Pet, because your boo loves drawing happy little trees to the tune of the '80s painter extraordinaire — now they can grow happy little chia out of Ross's LITERAL head. You're welcome.
17. A fun sitting desk to remind your sibling who works day in and day out that they, too, deserve to sit back and relax from time to time!
18. A 3D panda mug, because your design-savvy cousin loves minimalism — but they also love pandas (understandable). This gives them the ability to have a mug that fits with their kitchen decor on the outside while a fun design element awaits them on the inside!
19. A strawberry-shaped vase that's quirky, cute, and functional. It checks off all the criteria for an adorable housewarming gift that your recipients will love (and *actually* use) for years to come.
20. And a set of dimmable string lights with 50 clips (the clips themselves light up!) that your up-and-coming photographer friend will love to use while hanging their polaroids! Speaking from experience: tell them to hang this in their living room — it is the perfect way to forego traditional photo frames while creating mood lighting for intimate gatherings!
