What a year! The holidays are finally here! And while we’re doing our best to make sure the products we feature will arrive in time, shipping times are especially tricky this year, so we suggest shopping as early as you can.
Stock and shipping times can vary depending on where you live, which product you purchase, and more. So order earlier than you think you need to and be sure to double-check the retailers’ websites for shipping information to ensure that your gift will arrive in time for when you need it. You can see Target’s full shipping information here.

1. A pair of fuzzy slippers, because what's better than being gifted a pair of fuzzy, warm slippers? Being gifted a pair of fuzzy, warm slippers that has a secure ankle strap, that's what.
2. A mini rock garden for your busy friend who sometimes needs to zen out during a hectic workday. How does it work, you ask? Simply drag the rake across the sand and when complete, arrange the stones and decorative accessories in a way that looks most appealing and calming to you.
3. A smart night-light that does more than just provide a bit of reading light before bedtime. This night-light displays the time, making it easier to keep your phone at bay. Plus, it contains a library of soothing sounds, white noise, and various light settings so you can set the mood before hitting the hay. But the best part? You can personalize this light with your own sleep and wake times to ensure your sleep cycle is on point every night.
4. A lap desk for your friend who prefers to WFB (work from bed). This lap desk has cushions to provide comfort to your legs, and has a mousepad and phone holder to make sure you've got enough space to complete your tasks for the day.
5. A volumizing dryer that'll help create a luscious blowout big enough to hold all their secrets. This is great for your maximalist friend who devotes hours of their morning to their beauty (or for the minimalist friend who refuses to spend more than five minutes on their hair every day).
6. An embroidery starter kit for the person in your life who's looking to expand their arts and crafts repertoire.
7. A portable Bluetooth speaker so that your loved ones can listen to their favorite albums, podcasts, and audiobooks. This has over 10 hours of battery life, making it a great sound system for those who like to listen to tunes during hikes.
8. A blender combo set for an upgrade to any smoothie lover's morning routine. This blender is great for puréed soups, large batch smoothies, and even some delicious milkshakes. But if you're looking to make a smoothie to take on the go, you can also attach the cup to the blending base for a single-serve treat.
9. An extendable phone tripod with a ring light for that special TikTok aficionado you hold close to your heart. This tripod also comes with a remote control that connects to your smartphone, making it ideal for vloggers during solo shoots.
10. A mini fridge, because some skincare products, like hydrating serums, sheet masks, and gua sha tools work best when kept at a colder temperature. Consider this for the skincare-loving person in your life.
11. A mini projector so that you can give the gift of endless streaming to the cinephile who you hold close to your heart.
12. A scalp massager, because the gift of self-care is one worth giving over and over again. Consider this gadget for the person you know with a killer Sunday spa-day routine, or for anyone looking to de-stress during their WFH day.
13. An all-in-one virtual reality headset so that the gamer in your life can fully immerse themselves into their play. This VR headset works with video games but also connects to VR YouTube videos and shows.
14. An indoor herb garden starter set for the at-home chef who's always reaching for different herbs and spices to throw into their meals. This is a great option for people who want an herb garden, but don't have the yard space in their city apartments.
15. A headband set so that the fashionista you know can spruce up every outfit they decide to wear. Besides, what's style without good accessories?
16. An electric kettle that has various temperature levels suitable for French press coffee, loose-leaf tea, and everything in between. Consider this for the person in your life looking to up the ante on their barista skills.
17. A sparkling water maker bundle, because a sparking water-lover LOVES sparkling water, and likely has a few bottles of the fizzy beverage in their fridge right now. Consider gifting this economic and eco-friendly alternative to the person in your life who seemingly cannot survive without bubbly water.
18. A pair of noise-canceling headphones that I use daily during my WFH hours, at the gym, and even during naps when I'm trying to drown out the noise coming from outside my bustling Brooklyn apartment. I recommend these headphones to anyone who, like me, can only really work or relax in complete silence.
19. A body pillow to lull your friends to sleep every night with its extra-soft memory foam. This is quite long, making it great for taller folks, too.
20. And a four-tier desk organizer, because a neat space always paves the way to a productive day. Consider this for the student or at-home professional in your life who needs a chic, yet functional space to organize all their office belongings.
