1. An amazingly quick and easy air fryer because crispy, crunchy goodness and getting things done faster are two of the most universal wants I can possibly think of.

Amazon, amazon.com

This baby uses hot air, not oil, to give foods that awesome crunch. They'll be able to prepare anything from from veggies to fries to wings in minutes and then just take the nonstick fryer basket out and pop it in the dishwasher, so it's perfect for lazy chefs. It even comes with a recipe book to give them more ideas.

Promising review: "I've always been afraid of deep fryers and hot oil cooking. I even returned a deep fryer I got one Christmas and got a pizza oven instead. Not to mention the smell that never seems to leave your home after using a deep fryer. This air fryer is a game-changer for me. There's no hot oil, no permeating smells, and it's compact and easy to use. This definitely has a permanent spot on my counter. The color is great and I'm not afraid to use this fryer." —Abs

Get it from Amazon for $52.49+ (available in three colors).

2. A gorgeous box of bath bombs beloved by over 5,000 Amazon reviewers so they can perfect their pampering routine in 2020.

amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "I am basically a bath bomb connoisseur. I have a bathtub addiction (five to six nights a week). When I say I’ve tried all the bath bombs Amazon sells, 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 that annoying glitter and the scent actually sticks to your skin. I can’t say enough how much I love these over the 10-12 other brands I’ve tried." —JH

Get a box of 12 from Amazon for $28.80.

3. A classic flannel shirt anyone would be plaid to recieve.

Amazon, amazon.com

Promising review: "These are the best flannels I have ever purchased. I got them for my brother for Christmas! They're a perfect material — soft, thick, and cozy without being too warm or so thick that it's uncomfortable. They wash very well and stay soft. They look great buttoned up or unbuttoned — they're a fantastic layering piece. The colors are vibrant and the plaid print stays sharp enough even after washing (sometimes after washing flannels, they end up becoming fuzzy from the cotton piling, and color and print fades, but I haven't had that issue with these). I love these flannels so much that I want to buy them in smaller sizes for myself!" —Chelsea

Get it from Amazon for $13.13+ (available in sizes XS-XXL and in 20 patterns).

4. A gorgeous holiday bouquet from The Bouqs Company, which can deliver stunning, sustainably grown flowers in as little as two hours — just in case you waited until the ACTUAL last minute.

5. Thick-knit, fleece-lined mittens that they'll absolutely need, because it's a scientific fact that the average American loses at least 57 pairs of gloves and mittens each winter.

Amazon

Wait, is that just me?

Promising review: "These mittens are much warmer than I thought they would be, which is a GREAT surprise. They're very soft and comfortable. They wash like a dream — they came out as good as when I first received them. They're more than worth the price. I just ordered a couple more pairs." —Hal

Get them from Amazon for $15.99 (available in 13 colors).

6. A beyond cozy faux-fur throw blanket over 2,000 people (and pets, apparently) absolutely LOVE.

Amazon, amazon.com

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

Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in five sizes and 20 colors).

7. An awesome portable Bluetooth speaker that can fit in the palm of their hand, is water-resistant, and has over 33,000 positive reviews — in other words, it simply can't be ~beat~.

Amazon, amazon.com

It works from up to 100 feet away (!!!!) and the battery can last up to 14 hours.

Promising review: "It sounds great, the battery lasts for many hours, and it can play while it 's charging. There are days where I start playing music when I wake up in the morning and I don't need to start charging it until dinnertime or later. I've used it outside while working in the yard and the sound projects a surprising distance considering the size of this thing, and with no distortion! This thing can get LOUD, especially indoors. There were no problems with the Bluetooth pairing — it was very simple to manage. When on a hard surface, the bass sounds quite good for the price of this thing. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a quality Bluetooth speaker at a very reasonable price." —Eduardo

Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in seven colors).

8. A cable knit winter hat that's the perfect combination of cute and practical. Just try not too get to pom-pompous about your gift-giving skills, okay?

Amazon

Promising review: "This is the best, cutest hat, and it's so warm with the fleece inside. I got so many compliments in the sub-zero weather. My head is large and the fit is perfect. My friend even wanted the link so she could order one in a different color! I recommend this — with two-day shipping it arrived just in time." —April Johnson

Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in 13 colors).

9. A classic quilted vest, a gift that'll warm their heart and their core.

Amazon, amazon.com

My mom, who owns several much fancier pieces of outerwear, loves this baby and has it in multiple colors! Here's what she had to say about these vests:

"They're lightweight and they have a nice shape — they nip in a little at the waist so you don't feel like the Michelin man. And the collar isn't tall like on some vests where it’s always in the way. The pockets are a good size and have zippers to keep things safe. I have these in navy, red, and black and wear them all the time."

Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in sizes XS-XL and in 12 colors).

10. Fuzzy plush slipper socks so their last couple months of winter will be spent in toe-tal comfort.

Amazon, amazon.com

Get a set of three from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in 18 designs).

11. A very complimentary doormat anyone would be happy to have greet them after a long day.

amazon.com

Get it from Novogratz on Amazon for $30.39.

12. A chic quilted crossbody that looks wayyyyyy more expensive than it is.

Amazon, amazon.com

Promising review: "I’m obsessed with smaller crossbody handbags, but I was looking for a great summer neutral one that would fit a full-size wallet and here it is. The quality is similar to a purse you’d by in a shoe store (if that makes sense). For the price, you can’t beat it. The texture is nice, and the inside is very roomy. I can easily fit a full-size wallet, my iPhone X, a rollerball perfume, lipstick, and a few other things. It has a small open pocket on the inside as well as a zip pocket. The color is spot on with the picture and it also has a nice feel when wearing it. The zipper glides like butter! I'm shocked for the price." —Christian Lafferty

Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in 21 colors).

13. A chic and timeless checked scarf they can rock in countless ways, no matter their style. Just ask the over 1,000 folks who've left positive reviews!

amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "What an incredible value! I read the terrific reviews before I ordered it, of course, but I wondered how nice it could it actually be for that price. Well, let me assure you, it's absolutely beautiful! Large, soft, warm — I'll be wearing it all through fall and winter this year. It would also make a wonderful gift. No one would ever believe what you paid for it! Lovely quality and it can be worn as a large scarf or shawl. I love it!" —Hyndsight

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 21 patterns).

14. An ingenious champagne stopper that doesn't just reseal their precious bottle, but also increases the pressure inside to preserve the bubbles. Because nothing should stop them from pouring an individual glass of bubbly for themselves and themselves alone.

Maitland Quitmeyer/BuzzFeed, Amazon

They can even mark the date they opened it on the top of the stopper!

Promising review: ""I love bubbles — champs, cava, prosecco, sparkling rose — they just know how to bring the party! But no one likes when sparkling wine goes flat, or you feel like you can't just have one or two glasses without ruining the whole bottle. So I went on Amazon and found the best champagne stopper I could find and immediately hit 'add to cart.' What a great purchase! This little bb is so easy to use — just pop it on top of the bottle, push the metal sides in so it clamps on, then push the top button several times to vacuum seal and preserve the bubs. Then when you next want a glass, spritz, or mimosa, you'll hear that same *POP* you heard when first taking out the cork — and the effervescence you so crave will be fully intact. Plus, you can confidently store your leftover bottle on its side in your fridge; I've had zero leakage problems with this thus far!" —Maitland Quitmeyer, BuzzFeed shopping editor (check out her full review here, #1)

Get it from Amazon for $8.97.

15. An acupressure foot massage roller beloved by over 3,000 Amazon reviewers that anyone's tired tootsies will appreciate.

amazon.com

Promising review: "I love this foot roller. It does what you would expect only better, and is also way better quality than you'd expect. The wood is great, and it feels extremely sturdy even with all my weight on it. I got this because my feet started hurting. It turned out I just needed to throw away my favorite pair of shoes as they had gotten old and the sole was warped, but this thing is amazing and provided relief from the pain they caused. I'm going to get one for my aunt for Christmas because she has plantar fasciitis, and this would really give her some relief. I use it all the time even when my feet feel great; it's so stimulating and relaxing. I recommend this as a great gift for yourself or anyone!" —N. Carothers

Get it from Amazon for $19.75.

16. A set of gorgeous desktop vases, which are minimal enough to match any ~aesthetic~ but also sophisticated to the max.

Amazon, amazon.com

Get a set of two from Amazon for $18.85+ (available in two colors and also available in hanging versions).

17. A pack of adulting stickers so they can reward themselves for major accomplishments such as "Almost went to the gym today," and "All my laundry is folded."

Amazon

Because who wouldn't love to be recognized for such tremendous achievements?

Get a set of 16 from Amazon for $6.99.

18. A no-fail subscription box for a gift that'll keep on giving. You can tell them you signed them up and let them receive their first (and second, and third...) monthly boxes as belated holiday treats.

Cratejoy

For example, the Coffee and a Classic box includes a classic book and a hot drink (you can choose between fiction, nonfiction, or children's literature and coffee, tea, hot chocolate, or a surprise) plus a bookmark and a couple of goodies themed around the book. If you upgrade to the Standard rather than the Starter box, they'll also get a snack and a mug each month! Another great option is American Cocktail Club, which'll include enough ingredients to make four servings of that month's chosen cocktail (you can choose to have the shipment include the booze itself or everything but).

Get Coffee and a Classic for $39.89+/month or American Cocktail Club for $27.99+/month, both from Cratejoy.
