You can even make it a DIY gift set by adding in a waffle mix. I'd recommend my personal favorite, Birch Benders buttermilk pancake and waffle mix — it just needs water and oil (aka they don't need to have eggs in the house!).
Promising review: "Definitely one of the best purchases I have made on Amazon so far. Just as described, it is a mini waffle-maker. Because of its size, it works quicker than a normal-sized one so even though you can only make one small waffle at a time, each waffle should be done in about a minute or two. The interior is also non-stick so it is really easy to clean, which was a huge bonus for me. On top of that, it comes with a little instruction pamphlet that tells you how to use it and and includes recipes and recipe ideas! Personally, I love it; it’s what I wanted and more." —Cristal M.
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in 12 colors/patterns, plus heart-shape, skull, pineapple, bunny, and pumpkin-shape waffle makers).

Promising review: "A few of my coworkers chipped in and bought our departmental mascot, whom we've dubbed Larry the Llama. We love this little guy! And bonus: He's quite functional. Our desks get pretty dusty, and Larry helps get all that muck off our desks. And he's adorably handsome. He can be bent into 3 different positions: 90 degrees, 45 degrees, and completely straight. This makes him more effective at cleaning our desks, and allows him to be positioned in few different ways when he's just chilling out watching us work. Here he is, peering over the cube wall, watching me work. He can be a nosy little llama." —Vegan-ish Mom Geek

Promising review: "I love these earmuff headphones!! I have two pairs, both the white and gray. They look nice and match well with jackets and scarves. These are comfortable and keep my ears warm in the chilly winter wind! I use them everywhere and most people can’t tell they are headphones. They think I’m just keeping my earmuffs on indoors but usually I’m listening to an audiobook or music (unless I’m trying to tune people out). They have great sound quality for earmuffs and control buttons that are user friendly. I work at a call center and it can get LOUD. Luckily, the speakers give a clear sound and the earmuff part does seem to muffle the office noise well. They also charge fast and the battery life will last most of the day with continuous use. These make a great gift and usually spark a fun conversation! I highly recommend trying them out!" —Kalline

Promising review: "I love this portable charger! I didn’t think it would be a good idea, because normally you portable chargers die within the first charge it does. I have charged my phone over 4 times and haven’t had to charge it! That is including just leaving it in my bag for weeks until I need it again. It will not disappoint! I love it!" —MacMak

Promising review: "The sound quality is amazing coming from such a small speaker! Spoken voice is clear and distinct ... music is full of nuances and tones, highs and lows ... what?! I never expected this from such a small and relatively inexpensive item! I bought it mostly to hook up to my iPad for FaceTiming but played some tunes and wow ... This is a versatile and high quality item! Love it so much I ordered a second one in pink [first one is green — awesome color!] and another for a gift! It is darn cute for a retro looking addition to you electronics ... Easy to hook up via Bluetooth or with the included cables. Battery is strong and long lasting...it went 2 hours PAST the manual specs! The only drawback, the little blinking Bluetooth light can be annoying but i just put a little bit of washi tape over it and problem solved." —Catzz

Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping editor Emma Lord has to say about these: "As you can see from the above GIF, I bought these for myself, and I love them to pieces. TBH, I use them as decor every bit as much as I use them to eat. Sometimes I just keep them in my work area to light them up during the day to feel fancy. They toggle back and forth between a bunch of different colors, like red, blue, yellow, purple, and multicolor, so you can either make them match *or* have a red and blue one together and bring ~balance~ to the Force."
There's a button to turn 'em on and off, and they come with batteries so you can ~get glowing~ as soon as they arrive.
Get it from Amazon for $12.97.

It's made of Rfid-blocking material too.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this wallet. I needed a new travel wallet, and this holds everything I need all in one place, and it still closes nicely and stays flat! Boarding pass, passport, ID and credit cards, money, checked baggage tickets, receipts, etc! Yet it doesn’t bulk up or look like an overstuffed mess. Just amazing. The description says it only holds US money, but I just used the boarding pass flap to hold all my Japanese Yen (¥), which are larger. I didn’t use the zippered pocket for coins as I much prefer a separate coin purse for that sort of thing. I definitely recommend to anyone who travels a lot!" —Anthony Luu

Completely turned the bourbon from one we kept at the back of our liquor cabinet to one we finished off within days after the infusion was done. We liked that the kit didn't make it too sweet. Really nice balance of flavors. Will definitely get again!" —Colleen Olfenbuttel

Promising review: "I never write reviews for things, but this mascara was just so great I felt like I had to! I love lashes, and my friends are used to me wearing thick coats of mascara at all times. Despite this, I got complimented on my lashes basically every time I wore this mascara this week. Multiple people even asked if I had extensions! This mascara isn't clumpy at all, and makes your lashes super long and defined without sticking them together. I've never had any problems with flaking, and although it isn't waterproof, I've definitely used eyedrops, shed a tear, and gotten stuck in rain without them smudging or running down my face. All in all this is my new holy grail mascara, and I'm thrilled!!" —Sophie Johnson
