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.
1. A One Line A Day journal with space for them to jot down a few sentences every day for five years. The best part? Each date lets them record all five entries on the same page, so they can see the changes in their life each year!
2. Quirky, detailed plush animal slippers available in basically every critter you can imagine, not just basic bunnies — I'm talking everything from giraffes to blue tang fish to platypuses.
3. A green-tea infused memory foam mattress topper beloved by over 1,600 reviewers, because the best gift you could possibly give anyone is the gift of a good night's sleep.
4. A wireless Bluetooth karaoke mic that's basically a portable party — it's compatible with any smartphone or tablet and can jam for five to 10 hours on a single charge.
5. A clever scratch-off map poster so they can keep track of all the countries they've visited. Plus, even if they haven't traveled that much, it'll still look great on their wall. TL;DR, it's time to hit add to cart(ographer).
6. A nautical and yet no-nonsense striped sweater they'll wear for years to come.
7. An amazing heat changing mug that'll light up with beautiful constellations once they pour in their hot drink. It's something your fave astronomy buff absolutely has to own — it's written in the stars.
8. Or a chic silk sleep mask embroidered with their sign to give them ~star-studded~ dreams.
9. An ultra-pigmented 35-shade eyeshadow palette sure to make them squeal with joy, without a shadow of a doubt.
10. A sophisticated glass featuring a map of a favorite city guaranteed to make them say, "I'd be so lost without you."
11. A Harry Potter Clue game for a magical take on an old fave that'll have them saying "mystery managed."
12. A luxuriously plush Natori robe they can hibernate in all winter long.
13. Coloring Without Borders, a truly gorgeous coloring and activity book whose proceeds go to support Families Belong Together, an organization fighting family separation at the border. Over 80 artists contributed interactive pages with a cool, symbolic twist — there are no lines that kids have to worry about staying within. ❤️
14. A powerful heated shiatsu massager that's even better than giving them a luxe trip to the spa, because they can use it over and over again and it's a heck of a lot less pricey.
15. Baa Baa Bubbles, a whimsical game you'll actually enjoy playing with the kiddos in your life after they unwrap it. A game that helps them practice counting but also includes farm animals and bubbles? Shear perfection.
16. Glossier's everyday makeup set featuring three of their cult-fave products — Boy Brow eyebrow pomade, Cloud Paint cheek color, and Lash Slick mascara — so it's basically like giving the gift of a whole new beauty routine.
17. A 4-in-1 phone camera lens kit that any aspiring photographer will think is the picture-perfect gift.
18. A top-rated box of moisturizing bath bombs in 12 different soothing aromas sure to give them a ~scents~ of relaxation.
19. The Rocketbook Everlast smart notebook, an eternally reusable notebook that'll let them scan their notes with their phone to save them, then wipe the pages clean with water. Yes, really.
20. A powerful plush RBG doll ~notorious~ for making both kids and adults want to give her a big ol' hug.
21. An adorable mug with a sweet little animal friend waiting at the bottom that's sure to make them smile every time they use it.
22. A teeny weeny nonstick mini griddle capable of big (and delicious) things.
23. A sleek Quip electric toothbrush, which isn't a regular toothbrush, it's a cool toothbrush that they'd actually be excited to see under the tree or in their stocking. In addition to being cute, it helps them brush for the right amount of time, uses super quiet and gentle sonic pulses, comes with a mirror mount that can also work as a travel cover, and is super compact.
24. A Homesick candle infused with aromas inspired by a different country or an iconic national park, just in case you can't afford to take your adventure-seeking buddy on their dream vacay just yet. This will still give them the ~scents~ of the place.
25. A cool marble-effect water bottle that you can personalize with their name or initials for a chic way to help the environment and stay hydrated that really ~rocks~.
26. A vegan-friendly, tropical-themed makeup brush set for any beauty buff who is already so done with winter.
27. A professional-looking pizza stone you should give them with one condition — that they share any and all pizza they make with you.
28. A genius tumbler so your favorite iced tea lover can make their beloved beverage on the go. They just let the tea steep in the outer compartment and fill the inner one with ice. Push them together, and they're ready to spill (and sip) the tea!
29. An amazingly resilient (and affordable) waterproof Bluetooth speaker that simply can't be ~beat~ for use in the shower, on outdoor adventures, or pretty much anywhere.

33. The Trtl Pillow, aka your always on-the-go friend or family member's new must-have. It's soft, ergonomic, and will actually keep their neck supported when napping in awkward upright positions. The gift of actually being able to sleep on a flight? Priceless.
34. A posh French Press to help them achieve the Nancy Meyers movie-worthy kitchen of their dreams. In fact, if you wanted to gift it to them along with a card featuring on essay on why her masterpiece The Holiday is the best holiday movie of all time, I bet they wouldn't even be mad.
35. A cool set of shot glasses made from beer bottles plus a sleek display tray for your favorite drinking buddy.
36. A LOL-worthy screaming goat figure who is honestly a very, very big mood, especially these days. Just press him and he lets out a shriek! I mean, who wouldn't want him in their life???
38. A resplendent birthstone enamel pin in case you're looking for a gift that's personal, only $10, and a total ~gem~.
39. A puffy-sticker making kit that literally any kid or kid at heart will enjoy, because you're never too old to know that puffy stickers are the best kind of stickers.
