The infusion basket inside makes it so easy to make our tea without the hassle of individual infusers for our loose leaf teas. The kettle heats up so quickly and the handle stays cool enough to maneuver the kettle without having to use a hot pad! Definitely a great gift idea for the tea lover in your life and it adds a beautiful aesthetic to my kitchen!" —Shauna Branstiter

Promising review: I bought the doll right after I saw the new Barbie movie with my granddaughter. I was one of the original Barbie fans in 1959 when the doll was released and wanted to share my long time love for the doll with my granddaughter. The doll is pretty true to looking like Margot Robbie in the new movie in her pink gingham dress and accessories with a lovely smile. She makes me smile every time I look at her. —Janners

Promising review: "I wasn’t expecting this to take as long as it did; I see why people do this with someone else. But it was even more fun to do this by myself and watch my shows. The instructions are in picture form and detail which pack is which. Some of the pieces can be similar and you have a couple of pieces left behind but I think they’re a weird form of 'extras.' But if you’re not super messy or plan on moving these around too much, you won’t have to worry about the pieces but keep them safe. I love how these will never die and look forward to another set of forever flowers to build! :)." —Bri J.

Heather Braga / BuzzFeed

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Heather Braga writes: "I have this book (as pictured above) and by that I mean the second I saw it available for pre-order I added it to my cart faster than you could say 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.' As the parent of a 1-year-old, I have many Little Golden Books in my home. However, this one is just STUNNING. I'm a big fan of Taylor (obviously) but was really enamored by how beautiful the pages are. I was so excited to read this lil' biography with my son and teach him a little more about someone I adore. (Which it does a great job of doing in a pared down way!) It's a short book, looks cute on my desk, and is a hit for bedtime story time. What more could you want???"

They'll get a keepsake storage with four tops, three skirts, three bracelets, three rings, necklace, sticker sheet, choker, three headbands, and a tiara inside. The costumes fit sizes 4–6x. Recommended for age 3+.

Promising review: "This is a great dress up set. As such, I had little expectation that the material quality would be that of the one dress I purchased for my niece that cost as much, alone, for this entire trunk. Now that we have expectations addressed, let's talk about what you get. There's four outfits that are separate tops and skirts so they can dress up as the character or potentially mix and match. There are accessories by way of bracelets, headbands, and rings. My niece loved it. She started trying it out immediately and I kept my award for best uncle and all around best gifter." —oldwalt

It comes with a wide angle lens and macro lens kit, a lens clip, a storage bag, a cleaning cloth, and a user guide.

Promising reviews: "I used to carry a heavy DSLR camera, but it's not convenient, especially when I travel. Recently, I found this cellphone telephoto lens kit, and was very happy with the purchase. The lenses are very easy to install — basically, you just screw the lens on the clip and attach it to the cellphone, no extra tool needed. It's very sturdy. I've tried the telephoto lens and the macro lens, and I'm pretty happy with the results. The images are clear, and the macro lens can show details." —Alicia

Promising review: "My mom has absolutely everything and it is impossible to get her anything she says she wants before she buys it herself. When I saw this I knew it would be absolutely perfect for her and she would love it. And she did! It came and she immediately put it out and started raving how soft, warm, and comfortable it is. She’s 5’2" so it goes to about her knees, which she likes, extra perk her toy poodle also fits in the pocket for extra snuggles! Overall I couldn’t be happier I got my mom such an amazing gift and she’s so hard to get gifts for! I will definitely buy more for myself and others for Christmas." —MsCake

Aquaman, Flash, X-Men, and too many good DC and Marvel comics to name! I highly recommend getting comics from here. They are also in great condition and not all bent up!

21. mug warmer because no one enjoys lukewarm coffee or having to drink their coffee super fast so that it's hot the entire time. This device will keep their coffee warm until they drink the last drop.

The pink version of the mug warmer with a pink cup of coffee on it on a desk
Amazon

Note that the mug is not included!

Promising review: "I got this as an office Christmas gift and have used it basically daily for the past year. The warmer keeps either coffee or tea at a perfect temperature for hours. It shuts off after four hours, which is a nice safety feature, as well as flashing red when it's still hot once you turn it off. It's a nice color and the cord is a pretty good length, I keep it on the edge of my desk where I won't accidentally turn it on or off (the touch button is very sensitive). If you have a cold beverage, it won't necessarily warm it up, unless you give it a long time, but it will keep a hot beverage perfectly hot, and it has three settings. If your cup gets to less than half full, on the highest setting it can even get a touch too hot. Since it works via surface area, it definitely works best with flat bottomed mugs, which can be difficult to find. There's a huge difference between the temperature of a mug with a completely flat bottom and a mug with just a small ring that touches the heating element — for those I recommend using a small mug cover on top. It also works well to melt candles if you want to have a nice scent but avoid soot from actual flame." —BC

It also comes with a stand!

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says, "UMMMM I bought this because it was on one of Amazon's top selling products pages for so long that I was like 'Why are people so obsessed with this moon!!' And now, my friends, I know. First of all, it really does look hyper realistically like a small moon and adds a chill vibe wherever you plant it. But it's also just so soothing to watch and have in the periphery. You can control dozens of different colors for it and either keep it on those colors or have them alternate, fade quickly, or fade gradually. It's super easy to charge and controlled by a remote, so you can move it off its stand and have it light up wherever you want. These days I tend to turn it on for my designed ~me time~ night every week, in which I will light a candle, pour a glass of red wine, read a romance novel, and, of course, light my lil' moon. Definitely one of my favorite 'the internet made me do it' purchases."

31. gel polish kit so they can have a gorg salon quality mani without the extra high gel mani prices. A little luxury, we love it.

Okay soooo the kit includes an LED lamp dryer, 12 gorg gel polish colors, 16 pieces of nail art designs, manicure tools, base gel, and two top coats — matte and shiny. The company warns that allergic reactions can happen, so do a skin test before going forward with doing an entire mani.

Promising review: "Lemme just start by saying — I never write Amazon reviews, but this nail kit deserves it. For years I have been sick and tired of spending $80+ to get my nails done only to walk out of the salon completely disappointed from having my cuticles cut and bleeding, polish missing most of my nail and the sides, or it chipping off the second I leave. Tonight I gave myself the cheapest yet quickest, most convenient, thorough, and beautiful manicure I’ve ever had! And I am not the patient, perfectionist type either — I usually hate doing my own nails. But this kit made it so simple, easy, and gave an absolutely beautiful finish. I had no mess-ups, and both hands took maybe 20 minutes?? I’m writing this review not even an hour later, so I can’t say for sure on how long it lasts, but I can tell you I’ve already cleaned the house, done dishes and laundry, and I have NO chips in the paint, so that’s a wonderful sign. I’m so excited for this kit and to save SO much money this year on doing my nails at home!!" —Bailey
