1. A TikTok-famous popping game that's great for kids *and* grownups — everyone will be begging for a turn to pop the bubbles before time runs out. It has four modes of gameplay (including a memory mode to test how well they remember where the lighted bubbles were!) and is perfectly sized to take on the go, too.
Reviewers note it's not the sturdiest game in the world, so when it comes to how hard everyone pushes the buttons, YMMV!
Promising review: "This game has been passed around the family after Sunday dinner. We have played the multiplayer mode frequently, and this has caused a few laughs. I myself prefer the challenge mode. My granddaughter keeps taking it, thinking it’s a game controller for herself. She is mesmerized by the pop-it part of the game as well. A lot of fun for the whole family." —Fiona
Promising review; "My kids really enjoy playing the memory game. Nice little game that is small and easy to take anywhere and keeps them from being bored." —Victoria B.

2. A golf club cleaning brush with a squeeze bottle built right in to make sure their gear is the most pristine on the course — and they don't trek in grass and mud into the garage or house after those oh-so-important 18 holes.
Promising review: "I’ve been using these for years now. The brushes are nice and stiff and are good for about a year (I play three to four rounds per week). The price point is always affordable, and there’s not a better cleaner on the planet. I just laugh when I see other versions in the golf shops." —Neal Mobley

3. A puzzle board so the jigsaw genius in your life has a dedicated space to work on their masterpiece. This baby has four drawers built-in to store pieces while construction is on pause, and the whole thing is easy to move from place to place so the dining room table can actually be used for...dinner.
It can fit up to 1500 piece puzzles.
Promising review: "I gifted this to my puzzle-loving friends and they told me I won 'the last ten Christmases' with this gift! They are thrilled. We used to all crowd around one ending of their dining room table to have dinner so we wouldn’t disturb the puzzle in-progress. It is easily maneuverable and sturdy so they can it aside at meal time. It stores easily when no in-use. The drawers are perfect for sorting sections." —Sandi

4. An elegant eight-cup Bodum pour-over coffee maker with double-wall insulation and a cork grip for a fancy 5-star hotel room service-style brew in the comfort of their own home.
Promising review: "Of all the ways I can make coffee at home: refillable K-cup/Keurig, French press, siphon coffee, and moka pot, this double-walled Bodum pour-over is my favorite. Like any pour-over, the process is easy and easy to do right. The reusable permanent filter is effective and easy to clean. A favorite feature and the reason I selected this specific Bodum model is the double-walled borosilicate glass; it acts like a vacuum insulator and helps keep the freshly dripped coffee hot. Using a 15:1 ratio and water=205°F, the coffee is as good as any I've had." —doctorbobster

5. A vintage-inspired Kodak half-frame film camera that reviewers agree is lightweight (perfect for travel!) and incredibly easy to use for anyone who wants to get into film photography. If you know someone who loves that old-school photo feel and thinks it really helps capture ~the vibe~ of memories, this is for them!
A half frame camera means twice as many photos for each roll of film btw!
Promising review: "I had absolutely no idea what I was doing, and this camera made everything so simple! I bought it for my trip to Portugal and could not be happier with the quality of photos. The half frame look really is so unique! Plus, you get double the photos, making film photography a slightly less expensive hobby. 10/10." —Amazon Customer
Promising review: "I bought this camera for my daughter, and she loves it! She wanted a camera that she could carry around and snap quick fun pictures in her dorm or outside on campus. She loves getting the pictures developed and the authentic feel of a real picture and not one on her phone! She loves the color and light weight. Reasonably priced and a great buy." —Just Jenny
Get it from Amazon for $44.99 (available in four colors). You can get some Kodak film to go with it, too!

6. A pair of chunky droplet earrings so they can sport that oh-so-trendy Bottega look — in a way that fits your budget. These are the perfect combination of cool and pretty, and reviewers note they're lightweight but not flimsy, so they're comfortable for all day wear — plus they go with everything!
Promising review: "Bottega, who? These are adorable and super close to the original ones! Perfect for work, events, or casual days. They don’t get rusty or anything right away (I wore them while walking around in 90-degree weather). Love them and I’m gunna get them in gold too!" —Amazon Customer
Promising review: "Yep..this is it, FINALLY! For those of you who have been searching for the best, affordable, similar looking Bottega [swap], THIS IS IT!! I searched many places and bought from other places but this is the best one out there… I thought the price of these earring was sketchy but NO…its legit" —Amazon Customer

7. A 3-in-1 foldable magnetic wireless charger perfect for at home or traveling, so they can charge their iPhone, Apple watch, and AirPods *all at once*, without wasting space on bulky chargers or dealing with tons of cords. Reviewers compare this under-$40 wonder to the almost-$150(!) Mophie charger and say it's just as good!
Check out a TikTok of the foldable 3-in-1 charger in action.
Promising review: "Not only is this a great travel charger, but they definitely took a page from Apple in their boxing of the product. Beautifully done, would make a great impression as a gift. Bought this for travel as one outlet needed to charge all 3 devices. Love how unobtrusive it is, hate how cluttered a hotel room can get when all of your electronics take over the limited flat surfaces in a hotel. Love it so much I’m using it at home as well." —M. Tanouye
Promising review: "I use this product to charge my IPhone 13, AirPods, and Apple Watch. Prior to this 3-in-1 compact purchase, I have purchased three different kinds of 3-in-1 chargers — I frequently travel between school and home with carry-on bags on airlines and all of the previous stand version chargers doesn't fit well in my bags or I am always worried I would break. This is compact and folds so well that I can fit in my carry-on or in any zipper pockets without having to worry about breaking anything. Charger works really well and it is the best compact one you can find in market. Love it and been using it for two months now and no issues!!" —SBREDDY

8. A Tajin seasoning rimmer so they can ✨ add a bit of spice ✨ to any glass — of course, it's great for spicy margaritas and bloody Marys, but it would also be delicious with fresh juices and smoothies, too!
The lid doubles as a citrus reamer, too!
Promising review: "I've used Tajin before so I knew what to expect. Great value for a pretty large container! I've used other brands of margarita salts before, and this one is the best. Large container, easy to dip glasses into, great flavor, and a fun way to jazz up a cocktail!" —K.K.
Get it from Amazon for $6.50.

9. A *15*-tool Leatherman multitool for the handiest person you know, complete with (deep breath) phillips screwdriver, medium screwdriver, small screwdriver, can opener, bottle opener, wire stripper, needle-nose pliers, serrated knife, ruler, file, carabiner, and more. This bb does *almost* as much as they do.
Promising review: "Yep, it's quality. I've purchased other Leatherman-like multitools before but they never measured up to the quality of a real Leatherman. I won't make that mistake again. When you're struggling with gifting ideas — this is a great option." —AFvet
Promising review: "I got this for my dad as a gift and he’s already used it numerous times. It’s small enough to fit in a nice little pouch but also has plenty of tools to help get the job done! Excellent quality!" —Imabanana
Get it from Amazon for $69.95.
Shipping info: Free expedited Prime shipping available for Prime Members, and non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).
10. The super viral Wavytalk curling iron/brush set, which comes with five attachments, including the much buzzed-about heated curling brush with bristles that'll leave them with a salon-worthy look in just minutes.
While this is often compared to the Revlon one-step, note that that is a hair dryer (and blows air) — this is a curling iron, so it just heats up for styling hair rather than drying it! It also comes with two styling clips and a protective glove, btw!
Promising review: "I love this hair tool, especially for its affordability! I bought it mostly for the round brush, but love that it comes with four other attachments as well. The thermal round brush works very well and makes achieving a blow out look so simple/quick! I have a blowdryer round brush as well but hate how loud it is, how long it takes, and how I am sweating by the end of it. This is a nice alternative and also easy to pack when traveling abroad!" —Kelsie M
Get it from Amazon for $42.97 (available in three barrel size sets).

11. A sad duck lamp that is a whole mood and a half — when you text them to see how things are going, they can just send you a pic of this guy lying down, and you'll know exactly what's up.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this sweet little duck light. In fact, I love it so much I'm going to buy another one. It has a rubbery feel to it, and all you have to do is literally just tap it to brighten or to dim the lights, and it even has the option of a 30-minute shut-off time. A great little gift for all ages!" —Amy Phelps
Get it from Amazon for $16.99.

12. A pair of farfalle-shaped pot grips to add a little whimsy to their kitchen, while also making it easier to drain their pasta without breaking out those bulky oven mitts. And they even pop 'em right in the dishwasher!
And that's not all — you may have seen this brand's other pasta-shaped tools on TikTok, like the spaghetti serving fork, mezzelune oven mitts, conchiglie lemon squeezer, ravioli spoon rest, and rotelle trivet, and more.
Promising review: "I find these hilarious, and easily the best kitchen gadget I've spent my money on! They're super handy for getting stuff out of the oven, and I feel less likely to drop a dish than when I use traditional hot pads/oven mitts with the padding. Very grippy, thick enough that heat doesn't transfer through, and again, hilarious." —Hannah B
Get them from Amazon for $16.90.
You can also get a set of two of the farfalle pot grips, mafaldine-shaped elastic bands, a penne-shaped garlic peeler, and the ravioli spoon rest from Amazon for $36.90.

13. A pair of the new Beats Studio Pro headphones with noise-cancelling, personalized spacial audio, and up to *40* hours of battery life so they can enjoy immersive sound for hours and hours. They'll love you for this one!
Promising review: "My hair is on the "bigger" side, so headphones tend to become uncomfortable after an hour or two of usage. However, these are so comfortable and light that I often forget I've got them on. I'm by no means an expert on this topic, but the sound quality these headphones provide is unreal. When listening to my favorite songs, I pick up on background instruments I was previously unable to. It's just so amazing to be able to listen to music like this. The noise cancellation is also top tier. Even in a crowded room, nouse just disappears with the press of a button. Transparent mode works extremely well, too. I love being able to hold a conversation while still being able to hear my music. I HIGHLY recommend these headphones for anyone looking for a more budget-friendly alternative to more pricy competitors." —Shanae

14. A beer koozie for anyone whose happiest hour is cracking open a cold one when Jeopardy! comes on. I'll take Potent Potables for $400 please!
Promising review: "My brother loves Jeopardy! and beer, so when I saw this, I knew this would be perfect for him. Can’t wait to give it to him on Christmas because I know he’s going to love it!!" —Trisha B

15. The Octobuddy, a silicone suction phone mount to help them attach their phone to most clean, flat surfaces (walls, mirrors, windows, etc!) so they can easily take photos and videos, whether they're filming a makeup tutorial or a dance, or just to take a selfie while traveling. No tripods, no selfie sticks required.
Promising review: "I am absolutely IN LOVE with my Octobuddy! I can literally stick my phone up on any clean surface to take pictures or videos without lugging a whole tripod around with me!" —Raven Marie

16. A pack of Cosrx snail mucin *sheet masks* if they have recently become obsessed (like many of us have) with their Cosrx snail mucin essence. These 100% cellulose sheet masks are chockfull of the super-moisturizing and repairing super-ingredient and will leave their skin ✨glowing✨ like never before.
You can also split up the pack to use as stocking stuffers!
Promising review: "INCREDIBLE. These face masks are my favorite masks I have ever used. The leave my face looking so dewy and shiny and beautiful and moisturized and healthy! I literally look like I'm glowing after I use these! I am obsessed and get them for all my friends and family as gifts! Who doesn't love a glowy, dewy face? And they don't make acne worse or flare up or anything, so that's a PLUS!" —Amazon Customer

17. A weekender bag that'll come in handy (and look stylish) for the frequent traveler in your life — it has all the smart design of the much-buzzed-about Beis weekender — but for a fraction of the price. It has a zip-around bottom shoe compartment to keep their kicks away from their clothes, a super spacious interior, detachable shoulder strap, charging port, and a luggage strap so it fits neatly on top of their roller bag.
Promising review: "We have been traveling by car (two days) to Florida to see relatives multiple times a year, and this has been the best bag I've used in four trips. It is compact, easy to carry, takes up less room in the car, and I love the separation of the bottom for shoes (plus I easily packed clothing for 10 days). I don't take many cosmetic items, so the small cosmetic bag is good for me, but not so great for someone with greater needs. Also packed some items like shampoo in the bottom compartment with my shoes. We did hit some rain but the bag only got a few drops on it and nothing penetrated the bag. So far good product for cost." —Mimi/Mom

18. And a TikTok-famous belt bag that's compact but can hold a surprising amount of stuff, so the travel-lover in your life can keep everything they need secure but handy, without ruining their carefully curated vacation fit. The strap is adjustable for crossbody *or* around-the-waist wear, and they'll be surprised how much it holds too! And....it's quite similar to Lululemon's belt bag and less than half the price!
Promising review: 'I have a couple of these myself and have gifted several to family and friends. These are a good size and fit all the essentials without looking bulky. Excellent for the gym, running around town, travel, or just day to day. The color options are nice so there is something for everyone." —Amazon Customer
Promising review: "These belt bags are so cute and such a good price. One of my go to gift for friends and family and always keep extra on hand in case for an easy gift. They look just like the real belt bag that is so expensive but these are a perfect price. They have many little pockets which I love. 10/10 recommend!" —Lexi H

19. A set of internet-famous Mellanni sheets made of a super-soft and moisture-wicking microfiber fabric over 250,000 5-star reviewers (wow!) love for being cozy and sleeping surprisingly cool — at an unbeatable price! If someone in your life is moving into a new home, or you know they're tired of their sheets, these make an amazing practical gift that'll feel expensive.
Promising review: "I can't say enough good things about these sheets. I was waking up at night HOT all the time and thinking it was a physical thing for me personally. I was reading online and stumbled on these and thought 'Hmmm...wonder if my uber-expensive sheets are actually making me hot at night??' I ordered these and I'm sleeping like a baby now. No more night sweats. Ordering some for my son as well. Game changer! High quality and exceptional price." —J. Marshall
Promising review: "I read from other reviews these sheets were soft so I wasn't too surprised when I received them and man are they soft and so comfortable. We have Egyptian cotton sheets that were expensive and I promise we have changed them back out for the comfort of these sheets. The cotton sheets were cold and these were just right. The other thing is my husband has thin skin that any nick he will bleed. Well he has bled on these white sheets and when we washed them (in cold water as instructed) the blood always comes out and never stains. I can't say enough great things about them except to say all three of my adult kids are receiving a set as part of their Christmas!" —Sheree Chrestman

20. A bookmark personalized with their pet's face, so they'll be reminded to take a break from their highly absorbing read and give their dog or cat some much-needed attention.
Promising review: "I am so happy with these bookmarks! Great quality, and the photo I sent is spot on! I cannot wait to see my daughter’s and my mother’s faces when they get these on Christmas morning!" —Cristy

21. A "reverse" coloring book filled with abstract blobs of color that make a fantastic starting point to spark their creativity — are they flowers? are they cute cartoon creatures? can it become a landscape? The possibilities are endless. All they need to do is whip out a black pen and reveal their vision!
You can add a six-pack of fine line pens to make it complete! Get top-rated ones from Amazon for $9.89.
Promising review: "This is definitely no coloring book. You can do so many things on each page, and you see different things each time. I did a couple like this one where I drew the faces and animals I saw—it can be similar to seeing things in clouds, or the bathroom floor tiles. Or it can be a loose framework — I did a couple of pages where I made mechanical or botanical stuff. Many of the pages are obviously floral, but you can change them up any way you want. When I’ve drawn all of the pages I might get another copy and do them differently. There are also more books by the same author, so I might want them as well. I’ve never had so much fun doodling. It’s easy to get into the zone with this book." —kathy g
Promising review: "What a great idea! I love coloring books and this one is so unique and so fun. Very relaxing to sit down and just draw around the lines. The book does have suggestions on how to design some lines to make it a bit more unique. My 8- and 10-year-old love it too!" —Jo

22. A Nespresso VertuoPlus coffee maker so they can make rich and delicious espresso *and* full-size coffees at lit'rally the push of a button — and save lots of money over time. And it's surprisingly slim to save counter space! Whether you're shopping for a college student who needs caffeine or your mom who wants to learn how to make her favorite latte at home, you just can't go wrong.
This is the coffee maker I have, and it's so incredibly easy to use and makes delish coffee. I've used it almost every single day for over two years!
Promising review: "Holy great cups of coffee! Mornings are so much better since buying this machine. I bought this on a Black Friday deal to try it out and I have never been so happy to start my day! I’ve had Keurigs since they came out and was dragging my heels to buy a replacement when my last Keurig gave out. When this popped up in my deals, I figured I’d give it a shot not really knowing what I was getting myself into. Holy smokes this is a morning-changer. I don’t think I’ve ever in my life had coffee this good at home. Let alone pre-packaged, one-serving coffee. Usually it’s fine right? Just fine - morning coffee, job done, let’s get on with the day. This machine and every pod that I’ve tried so far has made morning coffee an experience. Something to look forward to. Something to (almost) make me want to get out of a warm bed during these cold months. This is the best thing I’ve bought for myself. I’m so happy. I have been telling everyone about it. And if you’re on the fence, I say come over to this side ... it’s delicious!!" —mazw

23. A set of cactus-shaped dryer balls whose prickles will ensure their laundry dries quicker and gets softer than ever — while reminding them of their favorite succulent and putting a smile on their face with every load. Dryer sheets who?
Reviewers say they actually catch (human and pet) hair too!
Promising review: "These cute little waving saguaro cactus dryer balls are perfect. I’ve bought other dryer balls that dried and cracked after a month, these are over three month of heavy use and look as fresh as the day they were delivered on my doorstep. Great value and your clothes will dry faster as well as more efficiently because the saguaros tumble and separate your clothes for more efficiency. 🌵" —Christian B Staller
Promising review: "I’m OBSESSED with these. I have a cat who sheds like a double coat dog, and these things knock off ALL his hair in the dryer. I use them for my clothes, his bed, EVERYTHING. Dryer sheets didn’t do anything, and my clothes would be wrinkled as well. There’s no extra scent, and clothes are hair AND wrinkle free! I use all four at the same time, but two would work fine if you don’t worry about heavy lint/pet hair." —Anya

Promising review: "I had an ice roller that I thought was great, until I tried these. WOW, no comparison. These are fantastic. They’re heavy, well-made, and stay cold a very long time. Not only do these feel wonderful on the face, they feel great behind the ears and down the back of the neck. They come in a velour pouch. I’m very happy with this purchase." —ask

25. A Dracula garlic mincer for anyone who appreciates irony, has strong feelings about their favorite vampire, or just really loves garlic bread. And if they're on board with all three like me, even better.
Promising review: "I purchased this as a gift for my friend who is a fantastic cook — she uses fresh ingredients almost exclusively — but pressing fresh garlic is a task usually delegated. No longer: Gracula is there for her. She uses him nearly every time she needs garlic (which is basically daily) and months later still makes a point of saying how much she enjoys the gift. I'm pretty sure she likes it better than other gifts I've gotten her which were more expensive/thought out, and I'm fairly certain it's what took me from 'good friend' to 'best friend,' but it be that way sometimes. Anyway, definitely recommended for people who cook with garlic and have a sense of humor." —L

26. An at-home putting green with three holes for practicing their short game so they don't leave the golf course in tears...again. But seriously, 10,000 5-star reviewers swear by this!
It's 3 feet by 9 feet, by the way, and the "sand traps" in the back catch your overshot balls so you don't have to go chasing them!
Promising review: "Bought this for my husband who is an avid golfer. We live up north so he's stir-crazy in the winter. It has been laid out in my living room since Christmas. We don't use that room so I don't mind. He practices putting every day. Even uses it as a stress reliever between meetings." —Kim

27. A disco ball diffuser that'll up the party vibes (and aromatherapy) in any home — even if they're just enjoying a glass of white wine with dinner on a Wednesday night. Your giftee is sure to say 🎵 Gimme Gimme Gimme 🎵 immediately upon opening it up.
They can just add the essential oil of their choice! And btw, it also can work as a mood light, with seven different colored light options.
Promising review: "The coolest diffuser ever! This diffuser definitely stands out on the market above the rest in terms of quality and performance. What an awesome atmosphere it brings to any room with its extraordinary design. I love that it works silently without any noice whatsoever, releasing the mist of essential oils that promote such relaxation. Also, its customizable settings allow me to choose between various LED light options, creating a personalized ambiance. You can switch it on rotating so it creates a disco effect on the ceiling as well. Will be ordering this product for my friends, it makes a perfect gift!" —Charity Rivers

28. A compact Shiatsu massager they can use on their neck, back, legs, and more to relax overworked muscles. Plus, it has an optional heat setting for even more pain relief. It's like giving the gift of a portable spa!
Promising review: "Over the years I've bought and returned a few different massagers. The ones that attach to the chair are just too big. The smaller ones hurt or just vibrate. The sharper image ones are junk. So... I took a chance with this one. Wow! This really works. I like that it's smaller so you can actually position it where you want. It turns in one direction for a little while and then it switches and goes the other way. When it turns, it really feels like a massage instead of that vibrating feeling. I really like how compact it is and how it doesn't move too fast. It's just a steady massage that's hands-free. I can use it on my calves, legs, back, shoulders and neck. If this breaks I will definitely buy another one. This is the best massager I have ever had." —cbear

29. Or a percussion massager with five different head attachments for targeting different areas. Reviewers love it for soothing sore muscles, easing neck and shoulder pain, and working through tough knots. Your workout enthusiast friend will appreciate it after going a bit too hard at the gym — and who doesn't love a massage?!

30. A set of mini Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balms to keep their chapped winter lips gloriously hydrated (they're a bestseller for a reason!) while imparting a sheer flush of color and shine. These teeny treats are perfect for keeping in their bag or pocket, and next year, you can gift a full size of whichever ends up being their favorite color/flavor!
I have a few of these butter balms, and they feel so luxurious, and have just the right amount of color and shine!
Promising review: "Bought this for myself, my mom, and sister. They love them and will be purchasing the regular size of their fave flavor. The balm is very buttery. And it lasts forever. I used to use Laneige lip glowy balm, but I like this way better! 10/10 recommend!" —Kandace B
Get the set from Summer Fridays for $25, or get the full size balms individually for $24.
Shipping info: Your order will arrive approximately 7–10 business days from date of purchase.
If you're crunched for time, the full sizes are also available at Sephora, with two-day shipping and in-store pickup available.
31. A *flippable* Belgian waffle maker, because flipped waffles = crispier outsides and fluffier, airier insides. YUM. If this is a gift for someone in...your own household, you can also include a promise to whip up a fluffy batch whenever requested.
It stores vertically, which means it saves space too!
Promising review: "Cook's Illustrated (America's Test Kitchen) recommended this product. It's a good product for the price. It makes perfect Belgian waffles, I like how it has a small footprint and I'm able to easily store it in my pantry because it folds up. I think it's great. I bought this for my husband as a Father's Day gift this year. He couldn't have been more surprised and pleased. He LOVES waffles. I think he said this was the best gift I've ever given him:)" —Kindle Customer

32. A chunky knit weighted blanket (that means no glass beads or filler) with all of the comfort and soothing pressure, plus a really chic design that'll blend beautifully with their home decor, whether it's thrown over the sofa or folded at the bottom of their bed. If a Bearaby is on their wishlist, reviewers say you can skip the pricey Bearaby and just go for this one.
Promising review: "I wanted a weighted blanket that was woven instead of being weighted with filler material like beads that shift around or could “leak” and I wanted something made of natural fibers. Most blankets that fit the bill are $350 minimum, often more, so I feel like I hit the jackpot with this! The blanket is super comfortable, and the woven style means the weight is evenly distributed for a deep sleep. It’s a beautiful dark navy and larger than I expected, plus it comes with a duffel bag! Skip Bearaby and other pricier competitors and go with this. Best woven blanket on the market." —Emw95
Promising review: "I was looking for a sustainable (aka, natural fiber, no filler) weight blanket. Those that are similar to this one, start at almost twice the price (like Bearaby). I was skeptical but I'm so glad I purchased this one — the quality is superb. It even comes with a great canvas duffel! My husband and I love it, great for naps and just when you need a 'hug'. It has great weight, so much so that if my cat decides to join me it almost feels too heavy. :) I highly recommend this product — it is a great deal." —Stephanie S.

33. A pair of smiley face slippers with a foam sole and plush fabric to keep their feet happy 😃 from the moment they slide out of bed. One reviewer called them "literal clouds" — and who doesn't want that?
Promising review: "I absolutely love the way these slippers fit. They cup my foot ever so slightly so they stay on my feet but are also easy to kick off due to the low ridge for heel. The interior is so soft and comfortable. I’m in love with them. Oh and although the sole is solid rubber they are quiet on my hardwood floors." —Amazon Customer
Promising review: "Perfect for my daughter’s send off to college gift! She loves pink and the smiley face is so cute, trendy and style is super easy to slip on and stay on. She loves wearing them all around her hall and great for fire drills in the middle of the night — so durable for college with good quality." —nancy knight

34. An Oster electric wine opener set that'll open a bottle in seconds while they just stand there and watch, seriously reducing the amount of time they have to wait before having a glass of wine. PLUS it comes with two vacuum wine stoppers (to preserve freshenss), a foil cutter, and an aerating spout — that's a lot of wine-enthusiast bang for your buck.
Push a button and the job is D O N E. It'll open 30 bottles on a single charge, and has a rechargeable base so it's always ready to go. One reviewer is rebuying this exact same wine opener after theirs finally bit the dust — after TEN YEARS of continuous use!
Promising review: "What’s not to like? This electric wine opener has a foil cutter on the back side of the holder, works like a charm, takes the cork off,
push the button again, and it brings the cork down so you can retrieve the cork. How cool is that! My husband and I like this so much, we’ve gifted this to our daughter, grandchildren, and friends. Every wine enthusiast will love this! I guarantee you’ll love it as much as we do!!" —Amazon Customer

35. A basic Roomba robo vac your loved one will thank you for every time they use it — which might just be every single day! This little genius will work hard while they just sit back and relax...picking up crumbs, pet hair, dust, and anything else that tends to accumulate on the floor.
This one even works with Alexa!
Promising review: "It was a Christmas gift .. My daughter said it’s the best Christmas gift she’s ever received" —Liz
Promising review: "I bought this for my parents for Christmas last year, and they say to me at least monthly it's their favorite gift I have ever gotten them. For senior citizens not having to vacuum their house anymore is a huge help." —Gabe Jarboe
Get it from Amazon for $159 — this price is available as an extended Cyber Monday deal, and is the lowest price this Roomba model has ever been!

36. A set of jumbo fizzy aromatherapy bath bombs to moisturize any bath-lover's skin and make their next soak a little more spa-like. Ahhhh, relaxation in a steamy tub o' good smells. What a way to spend an evening!
They're each about the size of a tennis ball — and they won't stain your tub, so you won't have to scrub afterwards.
Promising review: "I have been using bath bombs for years. I've used cheap brands, drugstore brands, luxury brands (Lush, YL) and more. This box gives all bath bombs I've tried a run for the money! The packaging was super cute and totally giftable. I was really impressed at the quality of the bath bomb itself too (I used Heal tonight) and I love that this uses natural essential oils. During this COVID-19 outbreak, I have had a lot of stress and anxiety and have enjoyed a bath nearly every night for the past week. This bomb gave me the most serene experience and they are HUGE! At least double the size of ones I've used before. Comparable to the size of Lush bombs. I will definitely purchase this box again when I run out and honestly it's a great price at a little more than $2 a piece. You really can't beat it!" —Heather H

37. A Philips Norelco One Blade trimmer and shaver that is beloved by tens of thousands of shavers, and will be beloved by the shaver in your life too! It can trim hair to the desired length (there are five length options!), shape edges, and (of course) shave — wet, dry, and with foam — comfortably and without irritating skin. They can just rinse clean when they're done!
The ~360 blade~ moves in all directions to the contours of their face too. And it's good for face and body use!
Promising review: "I am always trying to find a gift for my husband that he likes and uses. In all 24 years of marriage and four years of dating prior to marriage, this is by far the best thing I have ever given him. He uses it all the time. Never uses another razor. He has extremely sensitive skin and after a shave with electric or straight blade" —Sam
Promising review: "This is the best razor I've ever owned. I give them as gifts now and everyone I've given then to had fully converted. From slaying a neck beard to going down to the bare floors on your undercarriage... this razor does both without cutting you. Battery lasts forever on 1 charge. I seriously only charge mine like every three months. Replacement heads are a little pricey and always locked up if you're buying them from a brick-and-mortar business but still worth it." —Majestic Jim

Over 100,000 5-star reviewers love it for being comfy cozy, durable, and *not itchy* — the winter hat trifecta. And it goes with everything, aka it'll never go out of style.
Promising review: "I got this as a gift for my boyfriend and he is obsessed with Carhartt. He always wears it when it’s cold if not he takes care of it in his room. ❤️ 10/10 best gift for your significant other" —Cecilia
Promising review: "I LOVE THESE! They’re so cute and comfy. This product is honestly quite soft and the logo is just the perfect detail. Super warm! Makes for the best universal gift!" —Abby Costner

39. A pack of Crayola Globbles that'll relieve hours of boredom for any kid on your list — they'll love to toss these at the walls and ceiling to watch the colorful spheres stick and unstick. But fret not, parents: reviewers say they actually don't leave residue behind!
Yes, they easily wash clean with soap and water without losing stickiness, so the fun can keep going even after they end up in one of your houseplant pots.
Promising review: "I waited over two months to write my review! My 4-year-old daughter plays with these DAILY! YES they do attract dirt and hair. HOWEVER they are so easy to rinse off, it's not a big deal! We took these to a family gathering and ended up giving two away because they were SO loved! The two we gave away went to a 12-year-old and my 19-year-old brother. They discovered throwing them at the ceiling fan and watching them shoot across the room, which was pretty entertaining! None of them have busted or ripped and they are definitely NOT gentle with them! I will definitely be buying more!" —Kindle Customer
Promising review: "Best gift. Its very fun to play! you can also wash it with water and soap! The sticky will come back! Awesome product. Highly recommended." —Julie

40. An electric candle lighter to make setting their favorite scented candle aflame even *more* magical — no more disposable gas lighters that run out of fuel or burning fingers on a match. It just adds a little luxury to any candle experience!
I gave my mom a super similar candle lighter a few years ago, and even just this weekend when she was lighting candles she is still thanking me for it. She just loves using it!
Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping editor Heather Braga has to say about it: "I'm obsessed with candles, so it was a no-brainer for my husband to gift me this surprisingly super-fun gadget for Christmas. It's really simple to use and charge, and it really works! If you're someone who gets a thrill from RAW POWER this is sort of the product for you. No, it's not a super-intense gadget, relax pyromaniacs, but it does buzz and produce a burst of electricity that I personally find exciting. AND I'll never have to buy another lighter again! Stop burning your fingers on matches and pick up one of these bad boys."
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in 12 colors).

41. A jar of Coop's hot fudge for the foodie in your life, or really anyone with a sweet tooth, because having a hot fudge sundae on just any ole weeknight is true luxury IMO. And this fudge is suuuuper chocolatey, thick (but not TOO thick) when heated up, and not too sweet! Plus, how cute is that packaging?
I love a hot fudge sundae, and I think this is the best fudge I've ever tried — especially store-bought — they often taste weirdly bitter! It's also available in a vegan hot fudge, mocha hot fudge, peppermint hot fudge, and a salted caramel sauce.
Promising review: "I have been buying Coop’s for a couple of years now and I have never encountered a hot fudge I love more. It’s rich, creamy - amazing on ice cream or just a spoonful to end the day! In my experience, both children and adults love it. I also love the new peppermint flavor for Summer." —Meghan E. Smith
Promising review: "This is manna from heaven, food of the gods. Makes getting up in the morning worth it again! Expensive, and worth it, it’s hard not to just eat with a spoon in between ice cream applications. Only draw back?
The jar is standard, but too small for what you’re going to need once you taste it. It should come in a 50 gallon drum with a pump top. Makes a great gift, with its kooky gimmicky plastic lid covering that looks like hot fudge dripping down." —saintsomewhere
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
Coops is woman-owned and all of their sauces are made in small batches btw!

42. An Ototo x Fullstar chopper, because the regular ole Fullstar one is already beloved by tens of thousands of reviewers, but why gift that one when you can get this guy, who totally crocks? Just FYI anyone who uses this will have to say "cronch cronch" when they close the lid/jaw to dice the veggies — I don't make the rules.
It comes with two dicing blades and two spiralizing blades, btw!
Promising review: "I wasn't so sure if I would ever use something like this, but it has become a staple in my kitchen! I actually already have the white version of this, but saw the Croc Chop and had to have it! It's makes perfect pico de gallo in minutes and great for chopped salads! It chops anything from lettuce to chicken, perfect for salads! It's top rack dishwasher safe so easy to clean. It comes with cleaning brushes and picks as well. Definitely a must have for perfectly chopped or spiraled veggies!" —Tammy

43. A celestial projector shaped like a lil' astronaut to really complete the vibe. It has eight different nebula-style effects they can (optionally) combine with a twinkling green star effect for an out-of-this world experience that'll completely transform their space.
It comes with a remote so you can control it right from bed, and it has auto-shutoff options too if you use this as a nightlight! You can check it out on TikTok here.
Promising review: "I bought this after seeing it on TikTok. I wasn’t sure how great it would be and the price was a little high to me but I bought it anyways. After getting it and seeing how badass it is I would definitely say it’s worth the money!! The lights are so cool and bright. My kids and husband love it!" —ShelbyFulford

44. A TikTok-famous honey-infused Gisou hair oil that's probably been on their wishlist all year, but they haven't brought themselves to splurge quite yet. Reviewers with all hair types love it for the added moisture and shine — without that greasy, weighed down look and feel.
Promising review: “This hair oil does EVERYTHING it says it does. Not only does it leave a great shine to your hair, but it also doesn’t weight it down at all. I’ve been using it for a few weeks now and I have noticed that my hair is drastically more shiny and less brittle looking. Also, the scent is absolutely divine and it does linger but don’t worry, it is not an overwhelming scent. For reference, I have thick 3b–3c curly hair. P.S., the packaging is super beautiful so this product is a win-win!" —MariahSantiago

45. A zigzag martini glass set to really dress up their cocktail hour. These babies are très chic, but also surprisingly sturdy (reviewers even run 'em through the dishwasher!) so they'll be toasting you with every single use.
Promising reviews: "Got these as presents for a friend. They are really handsome looking; the stems adds so much character to a plain martini glass. Not too thin, so great for those who are afraid of thin glass. Handles well. Good for dishwasher. I love them so much and would have gotten a set for myself but we don't drink martinis too much. Update: It's been more than two years and the friends who received this as a gift from us still love it — and EVERY TIME I visit, I am envious and enjoy drinking from it!" —JinSh

46. An acrylic bird feeder that'll suction right onto their window so they (or their cat) can enjoy bird watching right from the comfort of the couch.
Promising review: "I love this bird feeder! The birds come right up to the window. Its easy to setup and well constructed. I've purchased other window feeders and this one is the clear favorite. The suction cups are strong and can support larger bird than some other feeders. The birds just love it! My kitty thinks it's her TV. I had to hang it higher on the window so she doesn't scare them. I've had about 8 different species of birds visit this feeder. I highly recommend, it's a nice way to feel connected to nature even while inside the house. Great for kids and Grandparents I bought several and sent to friends and family. It includes good instructions as well unlike some other companies." —Miss April

47. A set of snazzy-looking and surprisingly affordable wireless Bluetooth earbuds so they can jam out to their favorite tunes, nod thoughtfully at a go-to podcast, or simply call into all their Zoom meetings with great sound clarity (and no background noise). They also come with a couple of sizes of buds for a secure — and comfortable — fit.
Aaaaand for the fancy pants they are, they come with a wireless charging case and provide up to 14(!!) hours of charge, and four-plus hours of continuous playback. (with the earbuds able to play for four-plus hours with each full charge). Did I mention they're are also sweatproof and waterproof?? With over 200,000 5-star reviews, they are mega popular, too.
Promising review: "I’ve been searching for wireless headphones that wouldn’t break the bank because I was tired of always getting caught on doorknobs, cabinet doors, and drawers. Funny enough, these headphones were recommended via TikTok and I’m loving them so much. They look expensive and the sound quality is amazing! The various options of bud sizes make them customizable to fit your ear so they’re nice and snug. The battery case is really sleek and can be easily tucked away in your pocket, bag, or purse. I haven’t been this excited to have new technology in a while!" —Joey Reyes

48. Adorable *and* thermal insulated socks that'll prove socks are not a boring gift and actually cure anyone's cold feet — lit'rally and figuratively. The soft brushed lining is designed to trap heat, so it's no wonder these socks are from a brand called Hot Feet!
Promising review: "I bought these socks for my grandmother. After she got them in the mail, she said they were very nice looking and she’ll try wear them to bed cause that’s when her feet are the coldest. 7am next morning, she calls me just to let me know they were “NICE-n-HOT”. Needless to say, these socks got me into first place for best gift." —Lydia Campbell
Promising review: "Without exaggeration, these socks are life changing. My feet are always cold especially at night, and these are the first socks I've ever found that I can wear to bed comfortably and not need several pairs. I also wear them in my winter boots for added warmth. The only thing I wish was that they were a bit less bulky — I can wear them in my winter boots because I sized up for that reason, but my regular boots are too snug with them." —Jessica
Price: $21.47 (for two pairs; available in 15 color packs)

49. A super plush blanket that is just begging to be cuddled up with on a cozy day at home — just be careful who you gift this to, otherwise you might end getting texts that say "Do you mind if we cancel? I'm entirely too comfy under that blanket you gave me...." But seriously, reviewers love this one for looking stylish on their couch and being super soft, but not too heavy for year-round use!
Promising review: "I saw this blanket on TikTok and I have to say I absolutely love it. I washed it several times now and it’s maintained its elasticity and softness after each wash. It’s warm enough but not too hot for a throw. Absolutely recommend this blanket!" —Amy

50. A vintage-looking dimmable candle warmer to take any scented candle collector's setup to the next level. The warmth from the lamp melts the candle from the top down — that means an even melt from edge to edge (no tunneling!), no open flame or resulting smoke or soot, *and* can even help candles last longer, according to reviewers.
The dimmable settings mean you can choose how quickly or slowly the candle melts, too.
Here's BuzzFeed Shopping editor Amanda Davis on this beaut: "🎶 It's me, hi. I'm the impulsive buyer, it's me. 🎶 After seeing this gooorgeous candle warmer online time and time again (and trying to ignore the urge to buy what I absolutely didn't need)...I finally did it, and WOW am I glad I did. This lamp looks even better in person, it's warms all of my candles evenly, and after moving it to my desk, I figured out it can be used as the cutest mug warmer, too! It comes with two compatible 50-watt warming bulbs that melt candles from top to bottom. The dimming feature is also really convenient for both the brightness of the light and for how fast or slow you want your candle to melt! This would definitely be a 12/10 gift."
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available with either clear or golden lamp shades.

51. A copy of Burn After Writing, a journal filled with thought starters and questions that'll really get them inspired — reviewers say it's thought-provoking, had them laughing and crying, and even helped relieve stress!
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

Just fill + refill with any brand of butane.
Promising review: "Didn't want to like this torch but man, this thing is awesome. I'm used to buying torches from the bodega but no more. Super easy to fill. It has a metal tip so no there are no melting parts. The flame is immense yet adjustable so you get the right flame every time. If you're on the fence, just order it. You won't be disappointed." —KSD

53. Murdle, Volume 1, a compilation of murder mystery–themed logic puzzles from the creator of Murdle, a Wordle-esque daily puzzle site. Both the site's puzzles and the book's puzzles will challenge them to use their powers of deduction and the given clues to solve each mystery and find the perpetrator. There are four levels of difficulty to keep them challenged, too. Good luck, detective!
There are 100 puzzles total, and four different levels: For Elementary puzzles, you need to find the suspect, location, and weapon. For Occult Medium puzzles, the added challenge is that the murderer always lies, and the other suspects tell the truth! For Hard Boiled puzzles, you also need to find motive! And for Impossible puzzles, you have to discover all four elements and deal with the lying witness statement from the murderer. Sounds like fun! Plus, you're also given a logic grid for each puzzle to help you solve it!
Promising review: "The puzzles are a lot of fun but the characters, story lines, and other details take the Murdle experience to another level. I have no idea how the author came up with all of this creativeness! You can Murdle solo or with friends. I look forward to future volumes but this one will keep me busy for awhile!" —Liz Gately
Promising review: "MURDLE is quite possibly the coolest and most fun I have had with logic puzzles in a while. It activates my inner J.B. Fletcher as my mind compiles the clues and sleuths out the answers. The various levels of intrigue allow the amateur sleuth in us all to develop into a top-notch arm-chair detective. I cannot think of a better way to spend a rainy, sunny, and/or any day than with a little crime-solving." —Highly Caffeinated Book Reviewer
Get it from Amazon for $11.77.
And if (when) they end up needing more puzzles, don't worry — Volume 2 came out in September. You can also get it for $13.19.

54. An electric crepe-maker to ensure the lightest, thinnest crepes outside of Paris. Whether they haven't been to the city of lights yet or go every year — or just are a big fan of Emily in Paris, this makes for a really thoughtful gift they'll actually use all the time.
Here's how it works: Just dip the maker in the tray when it's filled with batter and remove for a perfect crepe with ease — they won't have to deal with the stove at all.
Promising review: "I have always loved crepes, but never knew how to make them. This pan is so simple and easy to use that it takes all the guess work out of making crepes, and the dipping tray keeps everything. It does take a few tries to get the hang of dipping and flipping, but once you get started, you'll be rolling out crepes by the minute. A genius design for the beginning crepe-r." —SoutherStorm

55. A garlic press, but not just *any old* garlic press. This oh-so practical gift has a built-in spring-loaded scraper that sends all their nicely minced garlic right into the pan (no stinky garlic fingers here). And they won't even need to peel their cloves beforehand!
Promising review: "Was desperately seeking a garlic press after my previous one started chipping and eventually fell apart. This press is obviously more money than the replacement one I bought at the supermarket but it is worth it. When you press a clove of garlic, the garlic actually gets minced and comes out of the press. It is easy to clean, insuring that there is never any leftover garlic bits to find on the next use. And you don't have to look around for the other piece to push through the little holes, because it is securely attached. No chipping despite the bright red color. Also lightweight." —Susan E.
