    Promising review: "Great puzzle. We are a huge fan of Legos & puzzles, so was a great fit. Nice relaxing puzzle with a orderliness to the color scheme. Though not as easy as it looks. BTW…these pieces don’t hurt nearly as much as Legos if stepped on. Have fun!" —Az Customer 9663

She loves seeing how high she can stack the ice cream cones and pretending to serve Mom and Dad her creations. She's been obsessed with climbing things around the house and we *desperately* needed a distraction to get her to stop, and this is working so far — she plays with this thing for HOURS!" —West Family

    Note that the mug is not included!

    Promising review: "I researched so many coffee warmers and am so glad I decided on this one. It definitely keeps my coffee hot, no matter how long it takes me to drink it. I also like that it has three settings. As you drink down your coffee, you can lower the heat because it keeps the coffee very hot. I like it so much I ordered a second one for another part of the house." —hottytoddy

    Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in eight colors).

    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

    Get it from Amazon for $12.98.

    23. A clever scratch-off map poster for the person who loves to travel more than anyone else you know. This will be a great way for them to reminiscence about the different countries they've visited and plan future destinations. TL;DR: It's time to hit add to cart(ographer).

    24. A LOLworthy screaming goat figure who is honestly a very, very big mood. Just press him and he lets out a shriek! I mean, who wouldn't want him in their life???

    25. Wool-blend kitty face socks purr-pared to peek their whiskers out of all of your friend's favorite footwear and keep their paws cozy this winter.

    26. An iconic "This is fine" meme Funko Pop! figure so they'll always have a reminder of the meme that never fails to make them chuckle (even if it's in a pained, existential dread sort of way).

    Promising review: "Things at work have been super stressful lately, and as a result I’ve been losing morale. This little guy makes me smile whenever I’m sitting at my desk a bit frustrated. The lettering was fine on the mug I received, and the paint seems fine. I would keep the cardboard panel with the flames on it to give it better context. I just taped the cardboard flames onto my pencil holder. Love this little guy." —Cheryll

    Get it from Amazon for $34.99.

    27. A HyperChiller, which your iced-coffee-obsessed pal just needs 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!

    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

    28. A puffy-sticker making kit you can purchase under the guise of a gift for the kiddo in your life but actually have even more fun than they do using it. After all, you're never too old to know that puffy stickers are the best kind of stickers.

    It comes with a sticker-making press, instructions, and the materials to make 60 stickers! Some of the designs are colored in, while others you can color yourself.

    Promising review: "I bought this for my 6-year-old niece for her birthday. She's a planner girl like her mother and me, and I thought she would enjoy being able to add stickers to her planner that she made herself. She went absolutely wild making them as soon as she got it! The process for making the stickers is very easy and she got the hang of it very quickly. The set comes with several sheets of sticker adhesive, puffs, and paper decorations to make the stickers, and the sticker adhesive is pretty quality. Even I had fun making stickers with her. Definitely reminds me of an '80s toy. So much fun!" —Tamara Nguyen

    Get it from Amazon for $18.

    29. Brooklyn Botany's amazingly affordable brown sugar scrub that smells sweet but is tough on dry, dead skin and costs about a tenth as much as a spa day — in other words, you can pamper your loved ones without going broke.

    Promising review: "The holy grail of face and body scrubs. Oh my God, this is the scrub of all scrubs! I absolutely love how soft this leaves my body and the scent is simply delicious. I use a spatula and put some on my hands, rub my hands together, and then I rub this scrub all over my body. I’ve used it on my face as well and it leaves me with a soft and glowing complexion. It’s gentle yet does a great job of removing dead skin cells. If you’re in the market for a face and body scrub that’s made of amazing ingredients like glycolic acid and moisturizes your skin and leaves it glowing, then this is it." —Jatsbeauty

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

    30. A cathartic and OMGworthy bubble wrap calendar they'll look forward to popping every day.

    It comes with dot stickers they can use to write little reminders on certain days.

    Promising review: "This is the talk of my office. Everyone laughs about me 'getting stabby' with the days as I pop my bubbles. Moreover, I like seeing where I am in the year by using this. It helps me understand a year is shorter than it seems. I use a bright pink thumbtack to mark what day it is. Cute!" —HoundMama

    Get it from Amazon for $24.95.

    31. Fun food-print pet PJs to gift your pup or someone else's. Warning: if it's someone else's, you may be even more tempted to dognap them than usual now that they're looking extra deliciously cute.

    32. Or! A cute pet hammock for your friend's feline who loves to nap. Just picture their kitty all curled up in this cozy piece of furniture.

    33. A moon lamp so cool, they'll be ~over the moon~ to receive it as a gift. It has a light with 16 different colors they can switch based on their decor vibe.

    34. A Homesick candle great for your BFF who just moved to a new place. They can make their new living space smell like home *and* they'll love unwrapping it while you catch up on FaceTime.

    Promising review: "This little bag is beautiful! The front with the fuzz is very pretty and soft. Doesn’t look cheap. The strap and zipper color is very pretty and makes it look rich. The clasp is really good quality too. I debated on getting the Lulu everyday bag over this and glad I got this! Great price and quality." —Amazon Customer

    Promising review: "I’m 17 and I loved this. In the intro it says the page instructions are all up to interpretation, so if it says 'spill your drink' or something you can take that literally or choose to paint on it with something such as tea or coffee that’ll look like brown watercolor. I would recommend this if you’re just looking for something fun or if you’re going through some challenges this is really helpful to distract/express/push yourself!" —Marlee

    38. Or a copy of Burn After Writing — a guided journal with interactive questions and thought experiments that'll encourage them to take a scrolling break and write out whatever they're feeling at the moment. 

    Promising review: "I first saw this book on TikTok and decided to look more into it. I purchased four total because I know some people holding onto things that are difficult to let go of. It’s a great way to look at things from a different perspective and truly hold yourself accountable to different things in your life. I love what it stands for and I look forward to when I burn mine after I’m done. Self love, self care, and meditation for a better state of mind tomorrow is always the goal. I definitely recommend it to those susceptible to change and the willingness to try things different. You’re so much more than what’s been done to you and someone’s inability to see your worth does not decrease your value. Choose you for a change." —Brent Helm

    Promising review: "Okay, these are the perfect gift for any couple! I packed these in our carry-on for our honeymoon in Mexico. We each would draw a card at restaurants while waiting for our food. I have been with my husband for 7 years (recently married though!) and I learned a lot about him and heard stories he had of us that I had forgotten about. These are amazing and I can’t wait to keep the questions coming." —megelizabeth23

    Promising review: "I bought this product almost two years ago for my college apartment and it's the best thing I ever bought! Perfect place to hang my keys up when I get home and I never lose them! It also looks very cute and simple. The adhesive is really strong and the magnet in it super strong as well. It holds up my apartment keys, my car keys, and my boyfriend's heavy Audi keys perfectly fine. Love it." —Meghan Consadene
