    Just 57 Products We Know Make Great Gifts Because We Love Them

    We shop for a living, and truly swear by these gift ideas for everyone on your list.

    What a year! The holidays are finally here! And while we’re doing our best to make sure the products we feature will arrive in time, shipping times are especially tricky this year, so we suggest shopping as early as you can.

    Stock and shipping times can vary depending on where you live, which product you purchase, and more. So order earlier than you think you need to and be sure to double-check the retailers’ websites for shipping information to ensure that your gift will arrive in time for when you need it.

    Gifting season is here, and your friendly neighborhood BuzzFeed Shopping team is here to help you with all of your holiday needs. We shop...like...a lot, so we've rounded up some of our all-time favorite things that just happen to make fabulous gifts. Read on for some of our recommendations (and why we love 'em in the caption)!

    1. A 2022 Jeopardy desk calendar for the trivia buff who wants to prepare for their eventual game show domination. Each day has a different question and wager amount, so you can keep track of your ~score~ throughout the week (or year).

    2. A bottle of Truff truffle-infused hot sauce they'll want to drizzle on just about every meal they make to jazz it wayyyyy up. Truff even makes a ~white truffle~ version and a *hotter* version.

    3. A pair of Powerbeats headphones so they can work out, jam out, or just...work comfortably all day listening to their favorite tunes — without having to worry about earbuds falling out or dying mid-use.

    4. Or a pair of Apple AirPods Pro with stunning sound-quality, great noise cancellation, and an *actually comfortable* fit.

    5. A Pop-Up Guide To Hogwarts for a three-dimensional look at the castle that's *almost* as cool as the Marauder's Map.

    6. A jar of Sichuan Chili Crisp, the immensely popular sauce that's the perfect combination of spicy, slightly numbing, and savory — with a delicious crunch. The foodie on your gift list can drizzle it on their dishes or even fry an egg in it — they basically can't go wrong.

    7. Silly Poopy's Hide & Seek game, in which the kids (or kid-at-heart grownups) can hid a rainbow-hued "poo" that says "yoo-hoo" and gives clues about where its hidden.

    8. A subscription to Book of the Month, because they deserve to be treated to a new pick every month, selected from an array of shouldn't-be-missed new releases. Another idea that makes for a perfect (and perfect last-minute!!) gift.

    9. A pair of Ugg slipper shoes they can wear at home *or* running errands. These are almost impossibly cozy, without overheating their feet (or so they can show off their socks).

    10. Or a pair of faux-fur lined slide-on slippers for all the look of the fancy Australian brand (you know which I mean) at a fraction of the cost. But they get all the warmth and coziness!

    11. A Best of Porter Road meat delivery box for the carnivore in your life. This box is full of pasture-raised cuts including steaks, chops, ground beef, and sausage — and several BuzzFeed Shopping team members *swear by* the taste and quality.

    12. A sandalwood, vanilla, and bergamot candle to fill their home with a cozy but not overpowering scent that, no matter how many candles they already have at home, will quickly become a fave.

    The candle

    13. Or a birthdate candle that makes a great gift for *any* time of year (not just their birthday) — each day has a unique label (based on astrology, numerology, and tarot) and scent that'll make them feel oh-so special.

    14. *THE* Amazon Coat, a chicly oversized parka that'll keep them truly toasty warm — and make everyone think you splurged big time. Mega style, mega warmth, and pockets for days? Seriously, this coat is so cozy — reviewers from Chicago to the NORTH POLE have stayed warm in it.

    15. An Away carry-on so they can bring all those important outfit changes for vacation #OOTD picks — without having to pay for a checked bag. It has an ejectable (TSA-approved) battery to keep their phone charged on the go, too!

    16. A champagne stopper for your friend who loves to pop a bottle of bubbly for any occasion (same!). This can preserve the bubbles in their half-finished bottle of sparkling wine for DAYS, aka this is the perfect accessory for Aperol spritz szn.

    17. A stylish acrylic Squatty Potty to make pooping easier so constipation is no longer a #1 (or should we say #2) consternation — without ruining their stylish interior design loo (I mean look).

    18. A customized bookplate and ink stamp so they can mark all of their books as step one of crafting a Personal Library (and so they people who borrow their books actually *remember to return them*).

    19. The Dyson's Air Wrap Complete, a splurge-worthy 6-in-1 hair dryer and styler that's basically like magic (if you've seen the TikToks, you know). It comes with a pre-styling dryer, two smoothing brushes, and two sizes of curling barrels — all which use hot air to dry *and* style their hair in one. With no damage in sight!

    The TikToks are true: Whether I've had my hair long (mid-back) or shorter (lob length), the Airwrap has made creating my favorite hairstyles way easier.

    20. Or the Dyson Supersonic blow-dryer that can dry hair in record time. If their blow-dryer is decades-old, and/or causing heat damage to their hair, this makes an *amazing* splurge-worthy gift.

    21. A sloth to-do notepad to make their everyday tasks a little more cheerful. Is "take a nap" an important thing to get done? Absolutely.

    22. An extra-durable duck-shaped dog toy you can gift your pup (they deserve a very full stocking!!) — and unlike other toys that get shredded in days (OK, hours), this adorable bb will last months, at least.

    23. An Olive & June ~Studio Box~ complete with everything they need for a f l a w l e s s at-home mani — including their next-level polish handle to make painting neatly so much easier.

    24. A Soda Stream Fizzi if they're looking to reduce their plastic and can consumption but just *really* love some sparkling water (why drink...plain water??), because same.

    25. The Shark Tank-famous Comfy, a wearable sweatshirt-blanket hybrid for the person you know who is always running cold. Microfiber fleece on the outside, sherpa fluff on the inside, a truly gigantic pocket (for snacks!!), an oversized hood, and a slouchier-than-slouchy fit...what more can they ask for?!

    26. A grooming glove designed with nodules on the fingers and palms that makes a great easy (practical!) stocking stuffer for any dog or cat parent. It makes brushing the excess hair from their pet more like petting — so their pet won't fidget or get uncomfortable, and their sofa (and clothes!) won't be constantly covered in hair.

    27. A Crock-Pot slow cooker for the gift of easier at-home cooking. They can just pop in their ingredients, press the button, and let the magic happen already.

    28. A water bottle with colorful rubber bands to help keep them hydrated all! day! long! so you don't have to text them your hourly "have you had water today?" reminders.

    29. A life-changing, eco-friendly, and smart electronic bidet seat that keeps everything (and we mean everything) nice and warm (and clean too!). Wait, life changing? Really? You bet your ass it is!

    30. A pearl sunglasses chain they can add to any pair of sunnies for a grandma-chic look that also happens to be really convenient — no one likes taking out, then putting away their glasses 85 times a day.

    31. Milk Makeup's Kush lip balm, a nonsticky, super-hydrating treatment for their pout infused with cannabis seed oil that looks green (and is also available in shades of pink), but goes on clear to keep their lips happy and healthy all fall and winter.

    32. A pair of copper-infused compression socks that can help with circulation, muscle aches, and inflammation, whether they're working from home, going on a long hike, or traveling.

    33. A satin scrunchie ranging in sizes from mini to XL so the most stylish person you know can choose the size of their statement (while keeping their hair back and protected).

    34. An electric candle lighter to make setting their favorite scented candle (and they have MANY) aflame even *more* satisfying.

    35. A Playmobil Dino Rise T-Rex: Battle of The Giants play set, that'll make a ~rawr~-some gift for any kid — or adult for that matter!

    36. A *Serta* desk chair with memory foam padding and coils (it's made by a mattress brand, so you know it's comfy) for all-day comfort, but in a chic style — check that nailhead detailing — that'll also go with their decor.

    37. A set of Pact waffle bath towels (a luxe gift for anyone or for someone moving into their first home!) that are incredibly soft and absorbent, but also super quick drying so they can dry off in comfort, but not have to deal with that awful towel stink.

    38. An adjustable satin-lined beanie to keep their head toasty warm when the temperatures drop *and* help protect their hair from damage and moisture loss without disrupting your style or curl pattern.

    39. A pair of Zella leggings they'll want to *live* in, no matter what they're up to. They're super stretchy, moisture-wicking, no-slip in the waist, and just all-around amazing.

    40. A Hello Fresh gift card that'll basically be like a cooking class they can do at home. They can choose plan that fits their diet (including vegetarian and family plans), and they'll get allllllll the ingredients needed to prep each meal! WHILE learning how to cook!

    41. A mini Marshall speaker that packs a wallop of sound in a small package, perfect for anyone who lives in a smaller space but loves jamming out.

    The black rectangular speaker that's shorter than a candle on a bookshelf with gold lettering that says Marshall

    42. A tube of Lanolips ointment for an easy stocking stuffer for eeeeveryone on your list — no one likes chapped lips, and this makes a difference in just one use.

    The editor lips, chapped before use, and healed after use

    43. An air fryer (from the makers of the INSTANT POT!!) so they can crisp up leftovers, make homemade versions of their favorite fried foods (without having to deal with hot oil), and more. They'll thank you every time they use it, so basically every day.

    44. A cozy teddy jacket for a cuddly-chic look at an affordable price perfect for the fashionista in your life. We keep putting it in posts for a reason, folks!

    45. An Always Pan (psst: it's currently on sale!) designed to do the work of EIGHT pieces of regular old cookware. Whether your giftee is already great at cooking or seems to burn everything, this is a great (and pretty) addition to any kitchen, thanks to the non-toxic nonstick surface that makes for very easy cleanup.

    46. A pair of safety pin earrings that are the perfect combination of cool and impossibly pretty.

    47. A gift subscription to Atlas Coffee Club for the easiest way to ensure they don't run out of coffee and succumb to a caffeine headache. They'll get beans (either a half bag, bag, or double bag) per month, each from a different region, with info about the tasting profile, brewing recommendations, and a postcard about that place!

    The box, with the bags of beans and info postcards

    48. A Foreo Luna Mini 2, a silicone face-cleansing brush designed to totally remove makeup, dirt, and oil, AAAAND gently exfoliate their skin in just 60 seconds (I know, it's a gamechanger). It's like a quick little baby facial every day.

    Me using the Luna 2 on my face with face cleaner lathered on, with text "makeup, dead skin cells, excess oil, grime, etc. All gone in 60 seconds", and me showing the device in my hand

    49. A set of Parachute percale sheets (a great gift for your Significant Other, and therefore...yourself!) made of 100% Egyptian cotton for a lightweight and cool, breathable yet unbelievably soft and cozy feel. Sounds like a paradox, but they're like magic.

    50. A pair of ridiculously cozy slipper socks with a thick sherpa fleece lining to keep their tootsies toasty and rubber soles so they don't go skidding on shiny floors.

    Me in the slippers on a 6 degree day with text "these slippers are the only thiings that actually keep my feet warm"

    51. A très chic storage ottoman that packs a punch of style AND substance — they can sneakily hide their stash of scented candles, little trinkets, or snacks and pretend they are, in fact, a minimalist. As if.

    52. A foldable exercise bike with all the basic features they need if they don't have space (and you don't have the budget) for a Peloton but want access to a quick cardio workout at home. It has a magnetic tension system to up the difficulty, and handy features on the screen so they can track their time, speed, distance, and more!

    The silvery bike, with text "Men's Health editor's choice" larger seat cushion, 300 pound extended weight capacity

    53. Or a super compact Bluetooth-enabled treadmill that folds right down to slide under a couch or bed when not in use and is super smart (and a super smart buy for under $800).

    54. A Kindle Paperwhite with a glare-free screen so they feel like they're reading an *actual* book — without having to have to schlep around a heavy 1,000-page volume. And since it's waterproof, they can take it in the bath or on a pool float without stressing.

    55. An Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K they can simply plug into their existing TV and stream all the shows, movies, and music they want at the push of a button.

    Use the voice button to find shows, launch apps, search for type of movie ("Alexa find suspense thrillers") OR EVEN ORDER A PIZZA from Domino's! And with this gen, you can control your TV and sound bar right from the remote too, and it even has preset buttons to open your favorite apps in one click.

    "Getting it set up and ready to go is a DREAM. My TV is mounted on the wall in my small NYC bedroom, and I just had to plug the streaming device into the back of the TV, then into the wall, and connect it to Wi-Fi. It's so small and lightweight that it's just been hanging out there for about two years now and it's never fallen out or had any issues at all. The picture is always great and the remote works fast." —Kayla Boyd

    Get it from Amazon for $24.99.

    56. A Bearaby weighted blanket if they love their current one (or even have just been wanting to try one at all) but want something that won't overheat them — and one that's so cute, they'll want to keep it on display.

    57. 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.
