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.

14. Or a handmade wood wireless charger for anyone who likes combining their tech products with a more naturalistic aesthetic.
15. A trending rotating digital alarm clock/device charger they've probably seen on TikTok because everyone is obsessed with it. And with good reason! It's cool mirrored screen features an extra-large LED display that makes it easy to catch a quick glance of the time even from a distance *and* it will auto-dim during their sleep time (although it's manually dimmable too)! Plus, it has two charging ports so they can charge the clock *and* their other devices simultaneously. And finally, it's got a big ol' snooze button so they can quickly and easily silence the numerous alarms they set before the one that actually means it's time to wake up.
You can check out the TikTok featuring the mirrored digital alarm clock to see it in action!
Promising review: "Love love love this clock...sleek and definitely a statement piece. Alarm is subtle it will definitely wake you up however it will not scare the bejesus out of you. Love the extra ports on the side to charge other things with it." —Meika B.

16. A smart–bottle attachment that'll be their little hydration helper by tracking when they take a sip of water and blinking to remind them when it's time to drink more to avoid the dreaded dehydration headache.

This awesome device features an airtight lid and stainless-steel filter to keep coffee fresh for up to two weeks!
Promising review: "I have been drinking caffeinated beverages every day for half my life. Usually brewing hot then cooling it down with ice was quite a process to do every morning. Then I came across this cold brew pitcher and thought I'd give it a try. It's great, easy to use and clean, very convenient, lasts for a couple weeks, I love it! Making a pitcher of coffee take less time than a normal brewer and makes enough for at least one cup a day for about a week, depending on how much coffee concentrate is used. I haven't used my normal coffee or espresso machine since I got this cold brew system. The coffee seems to taste better as well, not a huge difference but it's somewhat noticeable." —Jeremy Birnbaum

24. A bidet because the time has come to ~bidet~ sincere farewell to fully relying on toilet paper. This attachment is easy to install (no plumber needed!), will help them cut down your TP usage, and will make them feel so much cleaner and refreshed after going #2.

25. A makeup brush cleaner that'll do most of the work for them — and faster! It swirls brushes in soapy water until leftover makeup, dead skin cells, dirt, and debris are gone, and then spins the brush until it's dry.
26. A set of long-distance lamps so that every time you touch yours, theirs lights up, letting them know that you're thinking about them. It works the same way on their end too!
27. A Furbo dog camera — it'll allow them to check in on their pet and even talk to them or give them a treat using the Furbo app on their phone, which will also send a push notification if it detects barking, so they can be rest assured that everything's OK with their BFF.
28. A flexible universal tablet stand that'll hold up their tablet so they can keep their hands free! It's designed so they can use it while sitting, lying down, or even on uneven surfaces. Plus, the legs fold for easy storage.
29. A smartphone sanitizer — it'll simultaneously sanitize *and* charge their phone so they can forget about trying to wipe down every crevice with different cleaners and anxiously wondering if it'll mess up their screen or seep into the headphone jack.

30. An illuminated doodle pillowcase — they can use any light source (or the included light pen) to draw on the cartoon cloud or heart, and their scribble will glow for five minutes or longer before gradually fading to make room for their next creation!
31. A rechargeable desk lamp with a built in pen holder *and* phone rest that'll take their desktop to the next level.
Promising review: "I love this desk light!! It's one of my favorite purchases I have made in a long time! It is working exactly the way it said it was supposed to. I love that it has three different light settings and that you can change it to a yellow glow. It is lightweight and super bright when needed. I do nails as a hobby and wish I bought it sooner. I am extremely pleased with this light and would give a 10-star rating if it went that high! I will be ordering two more. I would suggest this for anyone that is looking for a light for reading in bed or for a desk lamp. You won't be disappointed!!" —Teresa

32. An interactive magic cat ball for anyone whose feline friend never gives them a moment of peace. This smart-toy will move around randomly, automatically change direction after colliding with something, and even has auto-shutoff after 30 minutes so their cat doesn't lose interest.
Promising review: “My cat is lazy, and a bit overweight. I wanted to find a toy that would encourage her to run around the house and exercise, and this does just that. At first she was a little hesitant to play, but after watching it zoom around the house for a while she got the hang of it and now 'hunts' it. She will chase this toy all over the house with ease. This little toy never gets caught or stuck on anything. The battery lasts forever and doesn't take too long to charge either. It's a great toy for a picky cat.” —Amber Mobley

38. A super-cool rechargeable, flameless electric lighter so they can stop running out of lighter fluid and doing all kinds of acrobatics to get their ancient gas station lighter to give them just one more flame.
Check out what BuzzFeed editor Emma Lord has to say about it:
"People also swear by this for camping! It comes in other pretty colors, but I am especially partial to this one because I bought it for my parents (their kitchen is entirely pink and one of my favorite places on Earth), and this was SO EASY to use — not to mention super safe! I'm a big weenie about fire (LOL, self-preservation) so I've always stuck to extended arm gas lighters, but this is much better for the environment (plus cuter), so I feel a lot better about using it."

42. An upright spiral fruit basket that's basically a piece of art. Plus, it'll help them conserve precious counter space by providing some extra vertical storage.
43. A pair of horizontal prism glasses ingeniously designed so they can comfortably recline without struggling to watch TV, read, or use their devices.
Promising review: "These are great. A few years ago I bought a pair from a different company, and they were very heavy and hurt to wear. These glasses are MUCH lighter weight and don't smash my nose when I try to sit up. Five stars. They block all lights behind you when wearing these; the light reflects into the glasses." —customer
