Hey! While we’re doing our best to make sure the products we feature will arrive in time for Christmas, shipping times are especially tricky this year and can vary depending on where you live, which product you purchase, and more. Shop early and be sure to double check the retailers’ websites for shipping information to ensure that your gift will arrive in time for the 25th!
1. A set of oh-so-soft flannel pyjamas that they'll probably put on right away, and won't change out of until the new year (can you blame them?).
2. An air fryer that'll give them crispy fries, wings, and all other kinds of delectable foods, without all the oil. Plus, this thing will barely take up any counter space, and it's so cute they won't even want to put it away.
3. A MyHeritage DNA testing kit that'll track their genetic origins from thousands of regions all over the world, and even connect them to living relatives they may not know they have.
4. A set of protective face masks that are also super cute — they'll be staying safe and stylish.
5. I Choose You (Every Day & Always) — a charming and relatable book about how your love is a conscious choice and something you build together.
6. Pixar: A Pop-Up Celebration – it's bursting full of eye-popping designs that literally jump off the page.
7. A tiny science kit for your favourite fledging researcher. It comes with a mini booklet that contains instructions for over 20 experiments! I can see them in a white coat and goggles now.
8. An ice cream maker ready to help them make ice cream at home. Folks: ice cream. At home.
9. A skeleton ice cube mold tray to celebrate being juuuuust a little bit (okay, a lot) dead on the inside.
10. A book full of prompts about why you love your mom/dad/grandparent/teacher/etc. Just fill it in before giving it to them and watch for that almost guaranteed smile.
11. A geode kit because nothing breaks up the monotony of everyday life quite like literally breaking up some rocks.
12. A Jane Austen embroidery kit for anyone whose love for Mr. Darcy has led them to desire to recreate him with thread.
13. The Complete Calvin and Hobbes — that's right, all their favourite comics in one place. :')
14. Werewolf: A Party Game for Devious People – a fairly simple card game where the players must figure out who the werewolf is among them before it takes over the village.
15. Or an escape room board game to hold 'em over until they can frequent an actual puzzle room IRL. With this Walking Dead-inspired version, they'll have to ~escape~ from zombies that are, uh, not very pleasant conversationalists.
16. A compact shiatsu massager that over 3,000 reviewers swear by for rubbing sore, tired muscles. They can use it on their neck, back, and legs for sweet, sweet relief.
17. A challenging 1,000-piece puzzle so they can feel like an Emily in Paris cast-member sans complicated love life. For the pal who is used to shaving several trips off their travel bucket list every year, this thoughtful present will keep 'em occupied for several an afternoon.
18. A heavy duty pizza stone for dough that looks like it was flipped several times by an expert wearing a white chef's hat. This stone guarantees a delicious crust charred to perfection, which means the frozen pizza they're eating for dinner (yet again) will taste gourmet. It's like a trip to Italy with every single bite.
19. And if all else fails, a 5-pound bag of GUMMY BEARS. Can't go wrong with a lethal dose of sugar.
