9. A sterling silver snake chain bracelet that is the perfect gift for both minimalists and maximalists: Minimalists can wear this bracelet on its own to amp up their spare, curated style, and maximalists can stack charms onto it to show off their more-is-more tendencies.
10. A set of cable-hugging critters, because there's no reason working from home shouldn't be this cute. Give your WFH friends something adorable to look at during their workday.

19. A functional fragrance by The Nue Co. This gender-neutral perfume goes further than the average fragrance sitting on your dresser — the functional fragrance uses aromatherapy to soothe the senses while smelling earthy and floral. I swear by this fragrance and use it to calm my nerves during the *very* busy holiday season.
20. And a karaoke microphone, because everyone has that one friend who belts their heart and soul out when their favorite tune comes on. There's no reason you *shouldn't* help them project their voice with a Bluetooth-capable karaoke microphone.
