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. 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.
2. 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.
3. A smartlight alarm clock to help the midnight scroller in your life get their phone out of the bedroom! This alarm clock simulates sunset and sunrise, which lulls a person to sleep and gently wakes them up easily and includes nature sounds!
4. An ice-making machine, because there's one thing that there never seems to be enough of at parties, and that thing is ice. Consider this for the person in your life who's always throwing stellar get-togethers — or anyone who hates the disappointment of an empty freezer ice tray.
5. A color-changing blush oil that just landed a deal with Mark Cuban on Shark Tank, and for a good reason, too. This TikTok cult-favorite blush oil is green upon application and adjusts to the perfect shade of pink for your specific skin tone. And since it's an oil, this blush adds a dewy glow to your complexion almost instantly.
6. A 2-quart ice cream machine 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 portable Bluetooth speaker to please your favorite music lover. This speaker is LOUD — so loud, you might wonder how so much sound can come from something so tiny. Oh, and it's waterproof, too, meaning that it'll be a hit during trips to the pool or beach, or just daily showers.
8. A dishwasher-safe French press that'll make such fresh cups of joe so good, even Dale Cooper from Twin Peaks will want to come over for breakfast in the morning. Give it to your friend who's desperate to break their Starbucks habit.
9. A silicone egg yolk separator, because shouldn't EVERYTHING in your loved ones' kitchens be THIS cute?! But it's a functional gift, too — this'll minimize the chances of them breaking their egg yolks in its shell as they make homemade pasta carbonara.
10. A 70mm travel telescope for your friend who can't resist pointing out the Big Dipper whenever you're out at night. Now, they'll be able to *actually* see beyond the major constellations (...and to infinity and beyond?)
11. A waterproof cleansing brush to help your skincare-loving friends scrub every last bit of debris from their skin. This brush is made of antimicrobial silicone, which ensures an effective yet gentle exfoliation process that won't ever tear at the skin or spread bacteria.
12. A 3-quart fondue pot set that you can gift to that friend who just loves The Melting Pot. They can use it with cheese, chocolate, and even broth during Saturday night dinners that you'll hopefully be invited to.
13. A moon lamp, so that the astrology lover in your life can fall asleep to the soft light of the full moon every night. This lamp has various color settings and lighting strengths to provide the perfect mood every evening!
14. 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.
15. A Waterpik water flosser, since the gift of immaculate dental hygiene is great for everyone! This machine uses pressurized water to get rid of every last speck of plaque from even the hardest-to-each areas of their mouth. Oh, and it's great for those with braces, too!
16. A colorful wireless keyboard and mouse set so that the students and WFH pros you know can have the perfect work setup for typing away all day long. Plus, this keyboard mimics a typewriter, which is great for those who enjoy listening to typing ASMR sounds while they work.
17. A copy of the 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.
18. 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!
19. A match cloche, because your chic friend should have a place to put their most necessary candle accessories: their matches! This vessel is refillable, meaning they can buy different-colored matches for years to go with their ever-changing modern interior design.
20. And a liquid motion bubbler for anyone who either loves nostalgic items that'll bring them back to their childhood or are in need of a satisfying break during their stressful daily to-do list!
