2. Some little animal cord protectors to fiercely guard their fraying charger cable from further damage.
3. A pack of 16 hydrating sheet masks — it's the closest you can get to giving them the gift of soft and glowing skin.
4. A 52-week gratitude journal so they can spend a few minutes each morning or evening jotting down all the wonderful things in their life.
5. A pack of four pairs of acrylic earrings, because you know they don't shy away from an opportunity to make a fun fashion statement.
6. A bottle of Mike's Hot Honey that experienced home chefs and newbies will obsess over alike — it makes adding just the right flavor to all kinds of dishes (from fruit to chicken to ice cream and, yes, pizza) almost too easy.
7. A set of six little cute monster clips certain to make them say "Aww!!!!" out loud every time they open their pantry door.
8. A clip-on, rechargeable selfie ring light so all their selfies and even their mouthwatering food photos are always perfectly lit, even when they're eating at one of those dimly-lit restaurants.
9. A reversible-sequin ~mermaid~ pillow cover, because it's practically impossible to have too much colour and sparkle in life.
10. A 19-in-1 tool keychain shaped like a snowflake, because there are countless opportunities to use a Phillips or flathead or WHATEVER in everyone's life, but you just don't notice them until you actually have the tools.
11. A pair of spiky dryer balls that will be their charming little laundry assistants and major money-savers, because they'll soften their clothes without the need of softener or dryer sheets.
12. A terracotta brown sugar bear that they simply soak in water, gently dry, then pack in with the brown sugar to keep it from hardening up into an impossible to use–rock.
13. A shiny mirror cube — it will look pretty and interesting in any configuration, so they don't even have to be expert puzzle solvers to enjoy playing with it.
14. A three-drawer acrylic bathroom or makeup organizer that will ~clearly~ help transform their current storage situation.
15. A pack of four infinitely-reusable makeup removing cloths that require nothing but water to help their face be perfectly clean at the end of the day.
16. A set of six vinyl record coasters that would be happy to save their table from their hot cup of tea on chilly evenings, and then from their friends' cold beers on the first day of summer.
17. A cupcake decorating kit for the frequent baker in your life who also secretly wishes they could live in a world where unicorns genuinely existed.
18. A set of four pearl hair clips whether they like to make a statement with everything they wear or prefer to find little ways to dress up a classic T-shirt and jeans combo — who ever said you had to wear a dress to feel a little fancy?
19. Or a set of three cat-ear headbands to make them smile with delight when they slip it on to hold every strand of hair back when they wash their face in the evening, or when they apply their favourite face masks.
20. Some mini enamel pins so they can deck out their backpack, tote, gym bag, or denim jacket. Just some little things that just bring them joy both because they like 'em and because you're the one who picked them out!
21. A set of two sleep masks that are contoured so they won't smush against their eyes, but will still block all the light out so they can get a restful night's sleep.
