1. The amazing Yonanas machine, which — get this — makes a treat with the consistency of real ice cream with 👏 JUST 👏 FROZEN 👏 FRUIT. 👏 Trust me, my parents have one of these and every time they serve this dessert to guests, peopled are *wowed.* It comes with 36 recipe ideas, but there's so much room to get creative turning favorite fruits into creamy deliciousness!
Promising review: "What a treat! It was not noisy at all (my electric toothbrush is louder)! The instructions were easy to follow, as was the cleanup of the unit. I also purchased PB2 and PB2 with cocoa when I ordered the Yonanas. I rolled the slightly thawed (five minutes) bananas in the PB2 and the result was a delicious peanut buttery treat! This machine truly delivers everything it promises and more! No, I'm not a paid spokesperson, just a very satisfied customer!" —Y. C. Turner

2. A little fill-in-the-blank journal to fill with reasons why you love them — it's such an amazing, sincere, and sentimental gift that it's guaranteed to be their fave thing they receive this holiday (even if it's just tucked at the bottom of their stocking).
These cuties come in tons of different versions for different occasions or people in your life, but all of them are filled with 50 fill-in-the-blank prompts you can complete about your loved one. I have given my parents the Mom and Dad versions of these and received the Bestie one as a birthday gift from my BFF, and they have all been perfect!
Promising review: "This book turned out to be smaller than expected, but that's okay. I filled in the blanks and wrapped it for Mother's Day. This reminds me of the cartoon booklets I made for family birthdays back in the 1960s and 1970s. They were also personalized for the person to receive them and funny. My parents always enjoyed them and kept them for years. I hope this will hit the same note for my elderly mother this year. I recommend this small gift book if you are stumped. They make other books to give to other relatives. Small but personal and can be hilariously funny, if you like." —L. Corey

3. A gorgeous (and reasonably priced!) pair of birthstone stud earrings your mom will treasure and wear All. The. Time. A wardrobe staple that'll also make her oooh and ahh with delight? Win-win.
Promising review: "Currently wearing them and pleased with the quality. They are lightweight yet sturdy. They look like the images, so what you see is what you get. I have very sensitive ears and I'm experiencing no irritation and I've worn them fairly consistently for about a month." —Jae C.

Promising review: "We love our bathtub tray. It gets used regularly for relaxing baths with music and books. My favorite part is the little rubber pieces on the bottom that do an amazing job of securing it in place on the tub. It is also just the right width for our large whirlpool tub." —Daniel Wyers

5. The stunning as-seen-all-over-social-media (and Abbott Elementary!) Lego flower bouquet featuring an array of 15 blooms with posable leaves and petals plus adjustable stems. I can totally see moms and dads geeking out over putting this together — and once they've completed the soothing activity of building it, this will become the perfect decor for their space.
Some elements are even made from plant-based plastic, so yeah, the designers really went above and beyond. Check out these beauties in a TikTok from @shaelorend.
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.

6. A tennis bracelet that could pass for real crystal — *swoon*. If you'd love to splurge and buy your mom the real deal but just can't swing it right now, this is a great option, and it'll look so stunning on its own or stacked with other bracelets!
Promising reviews: "Soooo pretty. It’s 100% a Swarovski [alternative] for so cheap. Looks exactly like the photo and I wear it every day." —Trysten Walters

7. A simple but surprisingly challenging ring toss game that's perfect for setting up on their porch and that the whole family may get very intense about, very quickly.
My parents played this on vacation and immediately bought one for their back porch when they got home. The goal is simply to swing the ring on a string around so it lands on the hook, but it's wayyyy harder than you think. I have cursed and cheered over this thing many a time — it is so satisfying once you finally get it and really brings out competitive spirits!
Promising review: "We all love this game. Everyone who comes over cannot stop playing Tiki Toss. So simple and so fun. Quality and design of product is fantastic. Also makes a great gift." —jzek

9. A HyperChiller, which your iced-coffee-obsessed parental units just need to fill with water and freeze — then it'll be ready to fully chill just-brewed hot coffee in (get this) only 60 seconds. Think of all the $$$ you'll be saving 'em on Starbucks! And psst...they can use it for wine, too!
Promising review: "AMAZING AND LIFE CHANGING! THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING PRODUCT I'VE BOUGHT FROM AMAZON! I love iced coffee but only kinda like hot coffee. So I've suffered through years of trying to make iced coffee. Pour hot coffee over ice? Diluted trash. Put coffee in freezer? Takes hours! Half the time I'd forget it and have to then microwave my frozen brick of coffee. I ended up buying iced coffee way too much, basically throwing away money. Since I've bought this, I've used it one to three times a day, and over the six-ish months I've had it, have bought coffee maybe three times. If you love iced coffee, you need this! I'm not getting paid to promote this, I promise, it really is life changing for the iced coffee addict. There is an issue with the threading of the top screwing into the bottom. It does unattach and cause issues. But! A small price to pay for the incredible invention. I LOVE THIS PRODUCT! So amazing, yet so simple. Buy two in case something happens to your first. I'm not being dramatic. At the price, it really is magical." —Amazon Customer

10. A gorgeous and affordable cheese board that comes with four stainless-steel cheese knives that they'll think cost you a heck of a lot more cheddar than it did.

12. A supportive Tushbaby hip carrier to take some of the strain out of toting their beloved little ones. Because if it were up to them, they'd never put their kids or grandkids down — but their back has a different view. This lightweight wonder even has pockets so it can double as a diaper bag!
It's recommended for children between 8 and 44 pounds.
Tushbaby is a small biz run by three moms in California.
Promising review: "I love this product! I was having issues with holding my 25-pound grandbaby because it would cause lower back pain after keeping him for a day. The Tushbaby straps on quickly and totally supports my back now so that I am not getting twisted at the hip. My daughter-in-law loves it too! She is pregnant, and picking up the baby and carrying him around was also causing her lower back to hurt. She says that it has helped her a lot with that problem." —missy wortman

It comes with a stand, tongs, spoon, jigger, corkscrew, muddler, strainer, shaker, and two pourers, plus access to an online recipe catalog.
Promising review: "This bar kit is perfect for the budding mixologist in your life! My husband loves the pour spouts and says they make him feel like a real bartender, while I love muddling and building my drinks in a glass! This set gleams and has attracted a few compliments already, and it's so fun showing off with friends to make drinks. Highly recommend!!" —Jessica Armes

15. A top-rated box of moisturizing bath bombs in 12 different soothing aromas sure to give them a ~scents~ of relaxation. Perfect, because your mom could always use some self-care time after a 90-minute FaceTime analyzing your current situationship.
They've got over 11,000 (!!!) 5-star reviews, and reviewers say they're great for sensitive skin!
Promising review: "I am basically a bath bomb connoisseur. I have a bathtub addiction, so when I say I’ve tried all the bath bombs Amazon provides, I’m serious. I keep going back to these, not only because of the price but because they actually work well. They don’t have all those annoying glitters and the scent actually sticks to your skin and serves a hydration purpose. I can’t say enough how much I love these over the 10–12 other brands I’ve tried." —JH

16. The 2.0 version of Our Place's cult-fave nonstick ceramic Always Pan with a built-in steamer and colander basket and a spatula that rests right in the handle. It's designed to be able to sear, braise, sauté, boil, fry, and serve all in one, so they'll get a ton of use out of this wonder. And even with all that practical stuff aside...it's sooooooo pretty.
This version is oven-save up to 450 degrees! The brand describes it as "deep enough to roast a chicken, shallow enough to flip an egg" — so basically, cue Hannah Montana, because you're giving them the best of both worlds. Check out BuzzFeed's Always Pan review (number 4 in the post) to learn more.
Promising review: "My Always Pan is going to be my new favorite cooking ware. Super versatile and absolutely beautiful. Love the functionality that it possesses and the versatility range, someone really thought about all the best way to cook with this! Safe, easy to clean, and beautiful to look at! Makes you want to cook more delicious meals all day long! Shipping took a while because I preordered, but I was happy to wait!" —Celyn V.
Shipping info: In-stock products take up to 2 business days for processing and typically 1-7 business days for delivery.
Get it from Our Place for $99 (originally $150; available in 12 colors and also in mini and large versions).
17. Or an absolutely worth-the-splurge Caraway nonstick ceramic cookware set that works cooking magic and looks gorgeous, *without* many of the harmful chemicals typically found in nonstick cookware. My mom uses the Caraway cookware I got her last year more than any of her other gifts, and our pro chef pal tried them out and was also blown away — so you can trust these are equally as functional as they are fashionable.
The set includes a 10.5" frying pan, a 3-quart sauce pan and lid, a 6.5-quart Dutch oven and lid, a 4.5-quart sauté pan and lid, four magnetic pan racks, and a lid holder with hooks. You can also shop individual pieces here!
Promising review: "My cream set arrived over the weekend and I’ve had a chance to cook a few meals already. I am quite honestly stunned — I didn’t know cookware could be so delightful to use (and look at!!). The nonstick aspect is second to none, which obviously makes cooking easier, but it also translates to the easiest cleaning ever. A splash of soap, water, and a sponge and it is ready to go for the next meal. I add about a tablespoon of olive oil to the pan prior to turning on the heat and the cookware seems to reach ideal cooking temps within a minute or two at low/medium heat settings. My favorite thing so far is the Dutch oven because I’ve been able to bake bread at 450* in the oven and it turned out beautifully. 10/10 would recommend — already consider this to be a staple in our household!" —Matthew B

18. A double-sided laptop-cleaning brush perfect for anyone who 1) owns a computer and 2) believes practical stocking stuffers are the best stocking stuffers. Sounds like my dad for sure.
It's got a microfiber tip on one side and the WORLD'S SOFTEST retractable bristles on the other. I ordered one of these for each of my parents' stockings a couple of years back as well as one for myself, and we use them all the time!
Promising review: "This is the little gadget I didn't know I needed. My laptop was a mess. I barely ever clean it. This little retractable brush is soft but got away the hidden crumbs. The microfiber cleaner is a microfiber cover over a firm base. It's small but effective. You can clean both the brush on the microfiber with basic soap and water. Like most Oxo products, it's well-made. I have to say that I Iike it more than I thought I would. My laptop has never looked so good!" —jeanneserenity

19. A professional-looking pizza stone you should give them with one condition — that they share any and all pizza they make with you.
Promising review: "I couldn't be happier! I preheated it to 500 degrees, and after about a half hour, I dusted the stone with a little cornmeal and slid the homemade pizza off the peel. It was cooked perfectly in seven minutes. I was able to slide the peel under the pizza and pull it out with absolutely no sticking whatsoever. The crust was made from scratch and came out crisp and chewy. I plan to buy another one for our son and his family. I may even buy a second one for myself." —Mary Lou Monica

20. *THE* Dyson Supersonic hair dryer, which lives up to all the hype and is worth the major splurge, because you're basically buying them good hair days forever. This wonder is designed to not just be freakin' gorgeous, but work for all hair types, reduce heat damage and frizz, and increase shine. Plus, it comes with five amazing magnetic attachments that are a breeze to switch out.
One of my besties FULLY spoiled me for my birthday last year and got me a gorg blue color of the famous Dyson dryer. I was skeptical, but has blown me and my hair away. I hate gadgets and products that require a lot of setup or learning curve. This was not that at all — I popped it out of the luxe storage case, fastened on the styling concentrator head, plugged it in, and it was ready to use in seconds. The three-speed, four-heat setting, and cool shot buttons are super user-friendly and no more complicated than on a regular hairdryer. What is different? The POWER. This thing truly lives up to the "Supersonic" name with the power of the airflow, but is still relatively lightweight and just feels so luxe in your hand. I love the sound when you turn it off: it's a so-quick "zip" of the air shutting off like the noise a cartoon UFO would make sucking up a cow from a field — it makes it clear how this thing can go from 0 to 100 back to 0 again, all without getting too hot.
The magnetic head and detachable parts are also so cool — the magnet is strong but the heads easily snap on and off. I've really only used the basic styling concentrator head and played around a little with the smoothing, flyaway-busting attachment, but the Dyson YouTube channel has tutorials on how to make the most of all attachments. The dryer also comes with a gentle air head for fine hair and sensitive scalps, a wide-tooth comb attachment for curly and textured hair, and a diffuser for defining curls and waves. Basically anything you could need for a blowout is in this sleek box. Since I admittedly haven't perfectly mastered the technique and do still end up with some frizz, I definitely recommend using JVN's Complete Blowout Styling Milk with it for results that aren't just WOW but WOWOWOW.
TL;DR: The Dyson dryer is worth the splurge because it can make pretty much every day a great hair day and, if you're someone who regularly gets professional blowouts, will save you money on those in the long run. I have honestly been feeling more confident in meetings and fabulous in my outfits when I've got an epic Dyson blowout happening, and I've been asked if I just got my hair professionally done! So yes, life and style game totally changed. And yes — I talked my mom into getting one and she loves hers too :).
Promising review: "I love my new dryer. I have very curly hair and it used to take an hour to dry my hair. I have cut that time down to 20 mins. I am biracial and have never had a product that allowed me to diffuse my hair without fizziness and or completely drying my hair out. I also purchased the Corrale straightener. Even after using the Corrale my curls pop right back. I love my products. Dyson is on point. I waited over a year to invest in these products, but the quality is worth every penny." —ALilly

22. The Taylor Swift Little Golden Book Biography for Swiftie parents — or the proud parents of Swifties. They'll love having feminist music icon story time with their kids or grandkids (even if said kids are 30 years old and you). With stunning illustrations and details every fan will appreciate, this will really be 🎶 the kinda book they can't put down. 🎶
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???"

23. A genius backpack designed just for savvy travelers like them (it could even be their carry-on), with tons of cool features like a laptop sleeve, main compartment that fully unzips like a suitcase, water-resistant lining, roomy water bottle pockets, zip pouches that'd work for toiletries, and compression straps to help fit alllll the things. These are the people who taught you to be prepared, after all.
Béis is a travel accessories brand founded by actress and entrepreneur Shay Mitchell.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Chelsea Stuart owns this backpack and writes: "I just bought this bag for a five-day cross-country road trip and it came in so clutch. First, I flew with it and was able to stow it under my seat so not only did I not have to check a bag, but I didn't even have to deal with overhead storage. Then, it traveled through 10+ states and various hotels with me. My absolute favorite parts of the bag are the compression straps and the fact that it fully unzips. This makes it *SO* easy to pack, unpack, and take through airport security. I was able to fit ~four pairs of leggings, four T-shirts, two sets of pajamas, two pairs of shorts, two bathing suits, a sweatshirt, a week's worth of undergarments, travel toiletries, an iPad, my wallet, and more odds and ends."
Shipping info: Standard, Priority, and Express shipping available, but please allow 3–4 days of processing time during the holidays due to high demand.
Get it from Béis for $88 (available in six colors).
24. A six-outlet wall charger that truly has everything — ports that work for larger chargers, two USB ports, and an LED light around the side that automatically turns on when the room gets dark, but also has a touch sensor and three brightness settings. Tech-savvy parents will ooh and ahh over this, as will those who are always losing their various chargers. And bonus: there'll always be a spot for your phone when you visit. 😉
Promising review: "These things are amazing. I have one in almost every room of my house. The light is just enough to be able to see at night to use the restroom or navigate the house without turning every light on. I love that the USB ports are built in — no more looking for an adapter. AND the plugs are set far enough apart you can plug some of the bigger things like Google assistant or large AC adapters and still have plenty of room!!! These are a must have in a tech or smart home." —SeiranCrow

It works with most smartphones and wireless earbuds!
Promising review: "So easy. I don't know what I expected, but I did not think it would be as easy as plugging it in and placing my phone on top and poof, it starts to charge. I figured I was going to have to set it up somehow. It is a lot smaller than I expected, which made me happy and it charged from 45% to 65% in about 30 minutes." —K. Blais

28. A sassy oven mitt they'll cackle at every time they pull one of their delicious dishes out of the oven.
Promising review: "Hilarious oven mitt that isn't just an image that's printed on a cheap oven mitt, which is so often the case. Blue Q actually went and took a quality oven mitt to put their image on — it works great and handles heat really well, so we're super happy that we get to actually use it for it's intended purpose while giggling about undoing our pants. It's a great buy and would make anyone a nice quality gift. A+" —Quantum Entanglements

Promising review: "Just buy it! Been looking at these for months and finally decided to buy one. Super happy with my purchase. I didn’t want to replace my entire work desk so I opted for this. The entire unit slides up and down easily. Plenty of room around the monitor for speakers, pens, notes, even a fan. Easy assembly. Not too heavy. I’ve really enjoyed being able to stand at my desk. I’ve been struggling with lower back pain and standing more seems to be helping. I find myself wanting to stand more often than I thought. Great price. Would highly recommend." —halaly

It's made by a small business, and you can see it in action in this TikTok!
Promising review: "I've had my Worky for three months now and have loved it. I love that everything is in one place and then I can close it up and work disappears. The compartments are great for tucking away piles of paperwork, the many charging outlets are convenient and the LED lights are helpful on Zoom calls when lighting in the room are not ideal. Everything in one place, simple and convenient. Just the way I like it." —Amy

31. A chic camera strap for your fam's designated photographer. While this may give them the stereotypical tourist-dad-on-vacation aesthetic, at least it'll be the chic version — and there won't be any detours on the next family roadtrip because someone left their camera at the rest stop.
Promising review: "I’m a professional photographer and I’ve been looking for a good camera strap for years, but could never commit to one. I liked this one because it’s a nice neutral and isn’t flashy or distracting, but it is still cute. It is also very affordable in comparison to other good quality straps. It’s very comfortable and I love the little camera that is on it. Absolutely recommend!" —Liz Bond

32. A luxe and lip-smacking truffle-infused hot sauce here to take every meal they make from "meh" to "OH MY GOD" with just a few drops.
BuzzFeeder Hannah Loewentheil swears by this stuff (those are her pictures above!). She says, "I've been doing much more cooking lately. There's one ingredient that makes even my most average home cooking taste amazing, and it's this Truff truffle-infused hot sauce. The white truffle infused hot sauce quite literally tastes like heaven, but IMO, the classic black truffle hot sauce is the most versatile and a staple in my kitchen. And while at first $20+ seemed like an absurd price to pay for hot sauce, this stuff is worth the price tag. I mean...truffles. And I've tried plenty of truffle-infused hot sauces, olive oils, and what-nots in the past, but they often taste overpowering or low-quality. But this hot sauce is the perfect balance of decadent truffle, heat, spice, and a tiny bit of sweetness. I slather it on pretty much everything savory from eggs and tacos to sandwiches and fried rice. Even if my cooking tastes mediocre at best, a drizzle of this makes it taste almost restaurant quality and so full of flavor." Check out her full Truff hot sauce review.

33. Toddlers Are A**holes: It's Not Your Fault, a book that'll make anyone who has (or has ever had) a young kid absolutely crack up. And let's face it — if they're a new parent or grandparent, they REALLY NEED a break from "Baby Shark."
Promising review: "Could not stop laughing. As a mother of three grown children a year apart and a grandmother of four, I know plenty about toddlers. I originally bought this for my daughter, but she's too busy with her little joys to read. And it is true grandma revenge!" —Carol LaPerchia

34. Bestselling wireless Bluetooth earbuds if you know your 'rents would love AirPods, but those are a bit outside your budget. Never fear, because some people say these under-$30 picks are even *better*.
They are also waterproof and come in a rechargeable case, and offer up to 10 hours of play time with one charge.
Promising review: "Best decision! These are the greatest headphones ever! I saw them on TikTok months ago and added them to my wishlist. I got a new phone that doesn't have the headphone port so I decided it was time to finally buy them. They are amazing and I probably won't ever take them out of my ears! 😂" —Katlyn D Arnold

35. A cheeky mug that'll put all your siblings' gifts (and your siblings themselves) to shame.
Promising review: "I didn't purchase this, but my son did. He wanted to make a statement and insisted that I open his present first on Christmas. I have four children, and it is an ongoing thing with them saying and trying to get me to say that they are my favorite child! Of course I get around it every time. LOL! But I loved it and will be using it all the time with my other mugs. I believe it is dishwasher safe. Such a fun gift to receive!" —Amazon Customer

36. A travel-friendly 2-in-1 blanket and pillow if your folks are frequent flyers. Even if they're lucky enough to have a plane or train provide them with blankets and pillows, are they ever very comfy or, let's face it, clean-looking?? This compact solution can even slide over their luggage handle so being cozy will be easier than ever. (And maybe they'll be game to make the trip to visit you more!)
Check it out on TikTok here.
Promising review: "This blanket was the best for traveling to Europe this summer! It kept me warm in the airport and on airplanes. The blanket and case are easy to throw in the wash and they are very soft! It comes with a clip to clip onto your backpack or purse." —Ashton Moore

38. Does It Fart?: The Definitive Field Guide to Animal Flatulence, because your parents may know a lot of things, but I'm willing to bet that they does not yet have an extensive knowledge of which animals pass gas and which do not. That's about to change, my friend.
Promising review: "This was a gift for my 45-year-old son! Yes, they never leave the fart phase. ;) But this book is actually filled with very interesting info — there's lots of science written in an entertaining fashion, and the simple illustrations fit perfectly. I'll admit that I read it before giving it to my son. He will now be the most popular teacher on his high school campus because hey, who else knows that sloths don't fart? LOL! If you're looking for something different for a gift, consider this. I think I'm going to order another one!" —Maryann Watkins

39. The Nori Press, aka a ridiculously genius (and aesthetically pleasing) all-in-one portable iron and steamer that they don't even need an ironing board to use. It's only 1.5 pounds, making it super travel-friendly, plus it cuts ironing time in HALF since the tong-like device works on both sides of clothing at once. They can say goodbye to using a traditional iron...like, ever again.
It has six heat settings for different fabrics and a steam setting, and is made by a woman-owned small business!
Promising review: “I am not an iron girl, but this product sold me. It is so easy to use. The Nori is portable, so I take it with me everywhere. It has helped me to look sharp at weddings and weekends away. At home, I can refresh my dresses and shirts before starting work and going out. I would highly recommend this product to everyone who might be thinking of a change. No more heavy irons and dry cleaning for me. Thank you Nori!” —Elizabeth M

40. A TikTok-famous floating pasta timer who goes by the name of Al Dente (LOL!) and who will sing a different melody (including the Godfather theme — known favorite among dads) seven, nine, and 11 minutes into cooking so they'll never overcook their famous noodles again. Who comes up with this stuff?!?!

41. A Kindle Paperwhite, the waterproof, glare-free version of the must-have reading gadget that'll store allllll the things on their TBR list so they don't have to lug tons of books and won't run out of reading material, even on the longest of the long travel days. Plus, get this — this wonder can go up to 10 weeks (!!!) on one full charge.
Promising review: "I LOVE my Kindle Paperwhite! I recently upgraded from an old Kindle that didn't have a backlight and what a difference. I really love being able to read in bed at night without needing to have a light on. The battery life is fantastic. The Kindle is great for travel, so you don't have to dedicate luggage space to multiple books, but also great for just keeping with you or having around the house. It's so lightweight and thin. I added a PopSocket to the back of mine to make it even more comfortable to hold. I recommend for any avid reader!" —Marissa T

It's from a North Carolina-based small biz that makes all sorts of funny towels!
Promising review: "This is darling, pure and simple. The material is fantastic and perfect for actual use. The downside is it’s so adorable I’ll just hang it next to my plants. The design is simple but clear with no variation in the print." —Jason
