We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
We asked the BuzzFeed Community to tell us about the best products they've bought (plus saved up their recs from the comments on other posts) — here are some they swear by that would make great gifts for really anyone in your life!
1. A tie-back, wing-sleeved, loose and flowy maxi dress that they'll be finding excuses to wear twice in a week, because it's the ideal mix of cute and comfortable.
2. An eyeliner with wing stamps — the set is practically guaranteed to speed up their morning routine, whether they're a liquid liner novice or a seasoned pro.
3. A bottle of Trader Joe's Everything Bagel Seasoning because it'll instantly add a salty, garlicky, onion-y crunch of flavor to everything they anoint with it, from avocado to popcorn to roast veggies and SO much more. We may not have Trader Joe's in Canada, but we do have this.
4. A lightweight, travel-friendly collapsible backpack that folds up itty-bitty so they can stash it in their purse (or the corner of their carry-on, or their tiny closet) then unfurl it to full size the moment they need to stuff it with books, groceries, camping gear, diaper bag needs, or tbh whatever.
5. An alarm clock that'll wake them up with a chill, gradual sunrise — the way all of our bodies ~evolved~ to wake up — so they won't even feel like hitting the snooze button and have plenty of time in the morning.
6. A Bed Head Waver because it'll makes it easy for them to achieve super loose waves for the wedding they're attending this weekend, tighter nearly-curls for their big presentation next week, and that Goldilocks-level ~just right~ in-between texture for all those selfies they'll take at the family reunion next month.
7. The Headache Hat — it's basically a collection of ice cubes surrounded by soft, cushioned material so anytime they feel a headache or migraine coming on, they can pull it out of the freezer, wrap it around their head and eyes, and relax under its gentle compressing weight.
8. Some O'Keeffe's working hands cream because it genuinely does what it says it will: moisturize and repair dried, cracked hands that they've washed in hot water one two many times, so they finally stop flaking and peeling. A perfect stocking-stuffer!
9. And for some more moisture-filled stocking stuffers, O'Keeffe's lip balm, which will do equally intensive repair work for their pout without any scent or greasiness.
10. A silicone scalp massager and shampoo brush because it'll gently deep clean and exfoliate their skin (and can seriously help with eczema flakes) in addition to just feeling really damn good.
11. A pair of Keepons to slide on the ends of their glasses so they finally stop that annoying habit of slipping down their nose multiple times every hour.
12. A pair of little plastic apples that absorb ethylene gas, which initially causes produce to ripen, but eventually causes it to spoil. Meaning that if they drop one of these in their produce drawer, all the produce there will last sooo much longer. (Or at least long enough so they get to eat it all!)
13. 5 Second Rule, a hilarious party game for two people or two teams (of basically any size), where each person has five seconds to "name three ___", depending on the card they pull. Pretty much anyone's going to end up laughing if they watch, and they'll definitely cackle when they play!
14. A mini white noise machine with non-looping audio so they can finally get the solid night's sleep they deserve, construction and neighbour noises be damned.
15. The One Line a Day Journal: Each page asks them to record a little about that calendar date over the course of five years, so as you flip through each year again, they get to reflect on what's changed — or hasn't!
16. A non-traditional cutlery organizer because it takes up half the space of other organizers (but still fits the same amount of silverware!), so they can use the rest of the drawer to store so much more.
17. The Aerogarden, which uses ~hydroponic technology~ to make growing all kinds of herbs and veggies pretty much foolproof, no patches of dirt, green thumb, or sunlight required.
18. A weighted blanket — every time they wrap up in it, they'll feel gently cuddled, which can help them deeply relax despite the stress of everyday life.
19. A set of two seat gap fillers for when they're tired of accidentally dropping their phone down in the crack of no return for the two-thousandth-time in the past year.
20. Some Onyx Hard as Hoof Nail Strengthening Cream that will help restore damaged nails and prevent future cracks, splits, or peeling.
21. An Instant Pot so you can pull off that modern-day miracle: putting a healthy meal on the table every night that takes less than an hour to go from prepping veggies to eating the first bite.
