Hey! While we try to keep our posts updated as much as we can, this post was last updated in 2018, so we can't guarantee that the pricing and/or availability of the products featured are accurate. Check out the 2019 version of this post for our most up-to-date gift recommendations!
1. Fuzzy memory foam animal slippers that are 100% irresistible — they'll melt even the pickiest of hearts.
2. Stylish glasses etched with a map of their hometown, because if they drink liquids and are from a place, then they're sure to love these.
3. A little journal to fill with reasons why you love them, even though they're picky AF.
4. A custom keyring of their pet's face, so they never really have to leave home without their furry friend. The question is not whether or not they will shriek with joy when they receive this, but rather how loud said shriek will be.
5. Or some custom stickers of their pet (or heck, even their face or your face, lol) they're sure to put on EVERYTHING.
6. A gorgeous and affordable cheese board complete with four stainless steel cheese knives that they'll think cost you a heck of a lot more cheddar than it did.
7. A velvety throw blanket that'll melt even the pickiest friends (and pickiest doggos) into cozy piles of mush.
8. A super luxe orange, sage, and eucalyptus body lotion so silky smooth, it might even replace the brand they've been using for years.
9. A brightly hued instant camera that'll make them the life of any party (not to mention help them channel 1989-era T. Swift).
10. A subtly sassy baseball cap so they can at least demonstrate some self awareness about how gosh darn picky they are.
11. The Squatty Potty, because everyone poops and would appreciate something that makes that a little easier.
12. A gorgeous bouquet of flowers from The Bouqs Company, which can deliver sustainably grown gorgeousness as quickly as two hours after you order.
13. A classic cardi with cool buttons that'll make layering a snap all season long — even if their office is basically a different temperature every day.
14. A mug you can customize with their name, a favorite saying, or inside joke. Here's the tea: this is possibly one of the best $10 gifts around.
15. A chic and timeless checked scarf they can style in countless ways, no matter their style.
16. A set of charcoal-infused sheets designed to resist odor and microbial growth, so they won't have to wash them quite as often. A good night's sleep AND less laundry? I'm not sure I can think of better gifts.
17. A subscription to Book of the Month, which'll allow them to choose from one of five hot new releases each month. So if they end up not liking one, that's on them.
18. Some super warm and cozy socks, because that's what Dumbledore wanted for Christmas and he's probably really hard to shop for.
19. A crowd-pleasing game you can play next time you hang out, like Bananagrams, a slightly addictive word game with tons of variations so you'll never get bored.
21. A sleek, BPA-free stainless steel water bottle so they can hydrate in style.
22. An ancestry kit to help them discover their roots.
23. A monthly sticker subscription, because is there a human alive who doesn't love stickers?
24. A Funko Pop! of their favorite fictional character, so they can display their nerdiness in the cutest way possible.
25. An acupressure foot massage roller beloved by over 2,000 Amazon reviewers that anyone's tired tootsies will appreciate.
26. A fancy gel pen that looks way more expensive than it is — they're sure to fall in love with write away.
27. A My Life Story — So Far journal, a tome that they can continue to fill out throughout their entire lives. It's got space to fill out everything from the meaning of their name to their weirdest dating stories to (future) memories of kids and grandkids to where they were when important historical events happened. There's even space for storing photos!
28. Faux-fur lined texting gloves so they can give cold weather the finger.
29. A "drawer" from Basic Outfitters, aka a customizable selection of high-quality socks, underwear, tees, and jogger pants. You know, the basics that they really need but hate to shop for themselves.
30. A set of gorgeous desktop vases, which are minimal enough to match any ~aesthetic~ but also sophisticated to the max.
31. A donation in their name to a cause close to their heart.
32. A classic structured work bag that'll make them look so professional, it may as well come with a promotion included.
33. And an Amazon Echo or Echo Dot so Alexa can tend to their very specific needs.
