2. A silicone AirPods case available in a bunch of glorious hues that we predict will make the perfect accessory for their favorite gadget. There are so many options, you can get one for every member of your 'Pod-loving family — plus it also comes with a keychain, perfect if they're ~prone to misplacing things~.
3. Or! A very cute, very unique case if you'd like to gift your ~snack~ with an adorable cover that reminds them of their favorite midnight munchies treat.
Promising reviews: "Very cute. Not very flexible material, won’t tear easily. Perfect snug fit, however if you do want to take the entire AirPods out of this case it’s a bit of a struggle but it’s doable. Doesn’t work with wireless charging but has opening at the bottom for wired charging. To clarify the given images from seller, top and bottom pieces are disconnected by design, the case is not one large piece. Overall just what i was looking for, great value." —Lilah
"Love this case so much! Love the quality and detail. It makes everyone smile who sees it." —Cali Gurls

6. A glitzy ear chaser for the fashionista who wishes they were tough enough in high school to get a whole row of lobe piercings. Some of us (me) were not. So I shall be carting this since it can be worn with or without the dangling charms cascading along the lil' earring jacket.
7. An adorable sherpa crossbody so convenient, they can pack as much or as little as they want, because the kicker here is that they can be hands-free all day! Plus, holding all their essentials without foregoing great style? Now that's a gift in and of itself.
Promising review: "This little bag is beautiful! The front with the fuzz is very pretty and soft. Doesn’t look cheap. The strap and zipper color is very pretty and makes it look rich. The clasp is really good quality too. I debated on getting the Lulu everyday bag over this and glad I got this! Great price and quality." —Amazon Customer

20. A supreeeemely soft flannel shirt that's technically branded as a pajama shirt, but can be best described as a "twofer." Because in this, they can get away with wearing it both in *and* out of the sheets. Giving the gift of versatility this holiday season? Now that's priceless.
