We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
1. A set of The Golden Girls shot glasses they're sure to "thank you for being a friend" for getting them.
2. A Dash mini waffle maker in a favorite color so they can enjoy all the perks of a brunch out in the comfort of their own home. Now you & your bestie can make waffles, Facetime each other and gab — without having to put on real pants or go outside.
3. A minimalist print of Elaine's iconic and hilarious moves for anyone who dances to the beat of their own drum — and looks darn good doing it.
4. Murder Most Puzzling, an illustrated collection of *20* different murder mysteries for the amateur sleuth in your life. Each case has a combination of image-based and story-based clues, so your giftee will really have to put their thinking cap on (might I suggest a Sherlock-style deerstalker?).
5. An 18K gold–dipped initial necklace hung on an angle for a fashion-forward addition to their outfit — you can find expensive versions of this necklace at tons of high-end stores.
6. A 10-pack of sheet masks packed with vitamins, minerals, and Icelandic glacier water to refresh and hydrate skin after it's been thoroughly stressed — after all that gift shopping, you deserve these. You can even split the pack up for easy stocking stuffers!
7. A Dolly Parton to-do list notepad they'll want to put on display on the coffee table or kitchen counter to make fueling up for another grueling workday just a little better. Time to pour that cup of ambition, bb.
8. An acrylic water bottle shaped like a carton of "witch's grade" poison for your friend who....needs to be reminded to drink their water as if it were actually poison...This oughta do the trick!
9. An iridescent Snitch fidget spinner they can play with wherever they go, just like James Potter in fictional days of yore.
10. A pair of custom socks for anyone who is thinking about creating an Instagram account just for their dog (or has done so already), because filling our feeds with their furry friends deserves to be rewarded.
11. A llama-shaped duster to serve as a reward for cleaning the house from attic to basement regularly this year (...or vacuuming just once, I don't know their life!).
12. A Breakfast at Tiffany's-inspired eye mask for anyone who's either a big Audrey Hepburn fan, Big Little Lies fan, or both!
13. A decoder ring you'll basically *have* to buy two of so you and your bestie can pass secret messages only the two of you can crack.
14. 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.
15. A two-in-one facial cleansing brush with one silicone side for deeper exfoliation and a gentle bristled side for gentle cleansing. It's like giving a facial over and over (and over and over) again — for under $20.
16. A super-sized and super-soft satin scrunchie to keep their hair out of their face while dressing up their outfits. Satin is great for protecting hair too!
17. An elegant Bodum pour-over coffee maker for a fancy five-star hotel room service style brew in the comfort of their own home.
18. A *weighted* plushie that hundreds of kid and adult reviewers swear by for a little bit of cuddling comfort. Think "weighted blanket" but smaller (and way cuter).
Target
When I saw the dino one in a TikTok (with the Linda Belcher "little babies" audio, obviously), I just had to order one. I opted for the cheetah — it looks cute sitting out on my loveseat and I simply can't stop snuggling up with it resting on my chest or lap, whether I'm relaxing watching TV or just getting work done between meetings.
Promising review: "So soft! My son loves it! And the fact that it is weighted helps him sleep 10x better because it stays by his side!" —S
Promising review: "I struggle with minor anxiety and get bad cramps! I got this because I didn’t want a whole weighted blanket! Now, I take it everywhere and I couldn’t be happier!! Worth every penny, especially if it’s going to help me like it has!" —Emmy
Get it from Target for $20 (available in four animals: cheetah, green and pink dinosaur, and unicorn).
19. A bubble tea AirPods case (and matching keychain) for a ~refreshing~ addition that'll help your headphones stand out in your bag so you can find them with ease — AND protect the case.
20. A ~beary~ smart portable pack of soap sheets, because when public bathrooms run out of hand soap (especially in times like ::gestures around::) that is *not* a good feeling. We love a cute *and* practical gift.
21. A Harry Styles air freshener you can customize with watermelon (*duh*) or any of 13 other scents to fill your favorite person's car with deliciousness on multiple levels. Talk about treating people with kindness!

23. A canister of Cadbury Drinking Chocolate ideal for curling up with during the cozy marathon of their choosing, whether catching up on the most recent Peak TV series together or revisiting an old fave (::cough 2005 P&P cough::).
24. A miniature Bluetooth speaker masquerading as a retro radio to prove your "R-E-S-P-E-C-T" for your giftee.
25. A pair of LED light saber chopsticks that are almost as good as just being able to Force levitate individual pieces of sushi right into their mouth.

27. A handheld electric milk frother that'll basically transform any kitchen into a schmancy little coffee shop. It even works to create cold foam!
28. Other-Wordly, a beautifully illustrated collection of unique words from languages around the world any bibliophile would love to ~check out~.
29. A screaming goat figurine to help them release all that stress. Just press the button on the stump he stands on to hear those bleats that can't be beat.
Or! A desktop inflatable tube guy that can teach everyone a dance move or two. Who *couldn't* use the laugh that this thing provides?! Plus it makes a great gift for ::checks list:: just about anyone.
30. A tequila-infusing kit to make their very own ~spicy margarita~ in the comfort of their own home and without having to follow a recipe or shop for special ingredients. The pouch is filled with dehydrated lime, orange, grapefruit, jalapeno, and pineapple — YUM.
InBooze / Etsy
Just place the infusion bag in a container (like a mason jar) with tequila. Infuse for at least three days, then just take out the bag and make a drink!
Get it from InBooze on Etsy for $18 (available in 30 flavors and varieties — idk about you but the blackberry gin smash is calling my name!).
InBooze is a Black woman-owned Etsy shop based in Michigan. All their packets are handmade, filled with dehydrated fruits, veggies, spices, and herbs — and each kit is enough to infuse 8 to 10 cocktails. Bottoms up! If you leave nearby or are visiting, you can also stop by their store in Grandville, Michigan!
31. A gift box of scrumptious chocolate-covered pretzels, because even if you've been ~salty~ all year, you can make up for it with a sweet treat.

37. A bar of quadruple-milled, shea butter-infused French ~savon~ to soften, rather than dry out, their skin — it's time to send that boring soap down the drain.
38. A gold scratch-off map for any travel enthusiast who doesn't just want a boring old *regular* wall map. They can scratch off the coating to reveal a brightly colored underneath to mark off where they've been.
39. A pretty celestial journal (hello, gold foil stars) to inspire short and sweet daily reflections. There are only a few lines per day, so use them well!
40. A gorgeous velvet mini jewelry case so they can pack their favorite key pieces in a safe and sound (and stylish!) way for a ~flying first class~ feeling wherever they go.
41. A Casa Amor motel-style keychain straight out of Love Island for the person you've watched every single episode of every single season with — this gift is 100% their type on paper.
42. An 18-shade eyeshadow palette that'll deliver Sephora name brand–results, for a "wait, you only spent HOW much?!" price. Reviewers say the shadows blend beautifully and last all day!

49. A pair of hairy-good slippers you're basically contractually obligated to wear while binge watching the whole extended edition of the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
50. A Good Advice Cupcake sticker they can pop right on their laptop, planner, journal, or wherever else they feel like, so they can think "mood" whenever they look at it in the middle of yet another chaotic workday.
51. Travel Listography, a journal designed in lists so any experienced wanderer or wanderlust-filled beginner can create bucket lists, document the places they've been and want to go, etc., and look back on it in the years to come.
