Promising review: "My mother-in-law can now have my toddler son's giant face with her whenever she's at home. What more can you ask for as a grandma." —Firebox customer

He also comes with a little book of equally delightful goat facts.
Promising review: "This little guy has put a smile on the face of everyone who has met him. Affectionately known in our house as Scruffy, this item was a wonderful gag gift for anyone who loves goats or has a good sense of humor. The book is entertaining and surprisingly well-made and designed. Perfect stocking stuffer or just-because surprise." —Faith Marlow
Get it from Amazon for $9.95.
Promising review: "These pens are super cute and actually quite nice quality. I bought some for a friend and may buy some for myself. The tip is very small — about .38mm, so it’s great for detail work and automatically makes your notes look neat and tidy. These are great as a gift in themselves or to distribute amongst students or peers. They come packaged in a resealable plastic slip." —Moggs

One reviewer said this game (which is described as a combo of volleyball and Four Square) is good for anyone over age 10. In teams of one or two, you spike the ball into the net so that it bounces over to your opponent. I'm not athletic at all, but played this at an outdoor event in college and I remember it being fun and very satisfyingly bouncy. The set comes with three balls, an easy-to-set-up net and frame, and a carrying case.
Promising review: "Great portable game for the whole family, which we play in the backyard, camping, or take to a friend's house." —None
Get it from REI for $60. REI is currently offering curbside pickup.
This is a perfect remedy for what I understand to be a universal feeling — the desire to journal, but the lack of patience, dedication, or time. For that very reason, I bought this as a prezzie to myself last fall and have been loving it ever since! I've actually stuck with it and look forward to writing a little blurb about my day every night before bed. I've already started looking back on old entries but really can't wait until I've had it a full year to start comparing my entries over time. I love having a record of the little, relatively mundane things that happen in my day-to-day life instead of just the big, headline-news-type happenings!
Promising review: "I’ve given out several of these books and they quickly become treasured keepsakes. My husband likes to tell me what happened on this day years ago, and it’s a great way to reminisce. It’s also very manageable because there are only a couple of lines for each day, so you’re not putting that much on yourself to write. The book itself is of good quality, the gold page edges are a nice touch, and the bookmark helps you keep your place. These make really thoughtful gifts." —Amy P.

It's cruelty-free and also free of common allergens like nuts, gluten, soy, and dairy.
Promising review: "I am so pleased with the formula! Great soothing and rich texture, but not an overly oily finish. The subtle smell of Glossier You is what we alllllllll needed! And the packaging...NAILED IT! So fun to use and I love the ribbon effect you get when the cream comes out. This product was launched at the perfect time — my hands are cracked from washing them so much!" —Chantsy
Get it from Glossier for $18.
Promising review: "I was very pleased with the weight of the glass and the stylish presentation. It was very nice to get a somewhat personalized gift so quickly and easily." —Megalodon

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 personally think the "Why I Miss You" one would be perfect to send to someone while socially distancing.
Promising review: "This is very little, but a big hit! It's a bit bigger than the palm of my hand. We used this in place of a birthday card for my dad’s 70th birthday. Everyone (seven adult children, spouse, and grandkids) was able to fill in the blanks and sign their name to each page! The answers that people filled in the blanks with were so special! There were some hilarious responses, some super sweet, and all in all it was a total hit of a little gift! It truly evokes lots of awesome memories and my dad, who is a total alpha male, was choked up with all the love and affirmation that was exemplified through our little sayings. It's super special and I’m so glad I found this! A gem, for sure!" —zacknabi
Get it from Amazon for $7.26+ (available in 14 themes, from dad to grandpa to teacher).
Promising review: "I got this for myself and it's amazing. I have flat feet and walking a lot in flat shoes gives me arch pain. Immediately after using this for a few minutes, my feet felt better. At first it tickles, but I got used to it, and now I can roll my aches away while I just watch TV. It's like a permanent fixture in the living room. I had to get one for my daughter who works on her feet. And then of course I gifted one to my bestie. Love this. Best purchase I've made in a long time." —Rhonda C. Elsaesser

Promising review: "I have basically worn this every day since I bought it. Goes with everything, adds a touch of class, and makes me feel good knowing it comes from sustainable sources. I'm thinking about ordering a second to provide a stacked look. Highly recommend." —Beth H.
Get it from Nisolo for $38.
Promising review: "This puzzle is a treat to the senses! It sure came in handy during quarantine, as it is quite a difficult puzzle to complete! Not to mention it looks STUNNING once it's all put together. The only problem I have with this puzzle is that some of the pieces were harder to fit together. The edges on some of the pieces are not the cleanest I've seen. All in all, this is a great purchase and would make a great gift to that artsy friend you have that is hard to shop for. " —alexpaul

It can be paired with any Bluetooth-enabled device and works from up to 33 feet away! I have one of these that I just use when I have people over (or used to, back in the day...) and it's got great sound and is super easy to pair with my phone (even though I am not at all tech-savvy and rarely use Bluetooth accessories).
Promising review: "I live on the river, and we kayak and tube all the time. We've spent lots of money on waterproof products that never work long after getting splashed. I actually dropped this one and submerged it under water accidentally, but we've used it four times since — it didn't phase it. I LOVE IT! It's very loud and the acoustics are great! It's so easy to connect, and it has a bag to keep it in. I've spent seven times more on others that weren't nearly as good! Update: Two months later, it still works great, after being dropped and splashed in river and after several trips down the river, tubing, and biking. And we can use it for two days without recharging before battery dies. The BEST EVER!!!!!" —Shine.bright.baby

Even as someone who's more drawn to larger statement earrings, I love getting delicate studs as a gift because I probably wouldn't have bought them for myself and they're an accessory wardrobe staple! They're especially great for wearing in my extra piercing.
Promising review: "I purchased these earrings for my 15-year-old daughter who hates wearing earrings. She loves them and hasn’t taken them off since the day she took them out of the box. The packaging and box of the earrings are very high quality. The earrings are stunning!!!" —LR

Promising review: "Un-freaking-believable! My family fights over this blanket. It's like being wrapped in a silky, feathery, warm cloud! It's even soft on both sides. I've been told to buy more so my family will stop fighting. It's simply like chicken noodle soup for your body." —Melinda Deas

Promising review: "These cards are awesome! I looked at several types of gold foil cards and decided on this set because of the good reviews and simple-but-beautiful design. They were a Christmas gift for my husband to go with his poker set and he loves them! He collects unique decks of cards and he was totally impressed by these. We like the feel and look of the cards, they’re very eye-catching. They’re made very well and seem durable. Five stars from us :)." —Rani Mierky

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 I, 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

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
