We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed collects a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
1. 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?).
2. A 6-in-1 rose gold curling iron with interchangeable barrels with interchangeable barrels to create tons and tons and tons of different curl patterns and hairstyles. They range from a tapered wand (.35-.7 inches) to a 1.25 inch clamped curling iron so they can customize their look!
3. A macrame hanging shelf so they can display the plants they struggle to keep alive... or their fave tchotchkes... or their prettiest beauty products... in the most stylish way possible.
4. An insulated foam can coozy designed to look like a pipe straight out of Super Mario for anyone who loves the classic game and *hates* when beer or canned wine (or spiked seltzer of course) gets too warm.
5. Werewolf, a sneaky party game you need to order for your friend group ASAP — especially if you love the game Mafia. Everyone will get excited when this gets unwrapped, because now you have a sneaky + fun after-present activity!
6. A faux fur blanket with two sides — one fleece, one furry — so they can customize their heat level while cuddling. Whether you know someone who freezes in the office but still wants something chic, an interior design-aspiring college student needing to spruce up their dorm, or just the most stylish dog alive, this is a great blanket.
7. A "Bake It Happen" gift box so you can gift your sweet tooth baker friend with The New Way To Cake (a cookbook from GBBO fave Benjamina Ebuehi!), gorgeous copper and wood measuring cups, and a cute but sturdy denim apron. Will they bake you something to say thank you? I think so!
8. A bubble tea AirPods case (and matching keychain) for a ~refreshing~ addition that'll help them headphones stand out in your bag so they can find them with ease — AND protect the case.
9. 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!
10. 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?!
11. A truly mini (and gorge) jewelry case for a ~flying first class~ feeling wherever they go. They'll feel fully accessorized without wasting space or weighing their bag down with heavy pieces.
12. A Facetory sheet mask subscription box for the gift of relaxation and a little me time *AND* wow-I-didn't-know-my-skin-could-feel-this-good hydration.
13. Double-wall insulated rocks glasses that'll look amazing sitting out on the bar cart, keep their drink cooler (or warmer, if they use 'em for coffee) longer, and DON'T SWEAT!
14. A pair of solid 14K gold and pavé diamond huggie earrings if you're looking to gift something that will be used *all the time*. They'll probably never take these beauties off!
15. Or acrylic drop earrings for a statement look that won't hang heavy from their lobes. They come in tons of colors and styles so you can find the perfect pair for your most stylish friend.
16. 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.
17. An Ooni outdoor pizza oven that can be heated with wood or charcoal to cook authentic (and need I say delicious?) 'za in just *60 seconds*. I've never been more jealous of people with backyards.
18. Music Listography, a twist on a journal that'll encourage users to create lists to document their favorite albums, concerts they wish they could travel back in time to, songs they think are about them (big Main Character energy), favorite movie documentaries, and so much more.
19. A nonstick Avengers waffle maker for extra super breakfasts — but don't worry, the golden brown results will be much easier (and more pleasant) to chew than a vibranium shield.
20. A set of personalized coasters featuring your favorite person's favorite snapshots (or maybe the most embarrassing ones you can find...hehe).
21. Or a customized travel photo book you can fill with images from your *last* trip together — then the two of you can flip through and reminisce while you start to think about your next one.
22. A Nutribullet with a full-size blender and two to-go blender cups for anyone who loves smoothies, hummus, soup, and other blended delicacies you don't need to make A TON of at a time — but hates using extra dishes. AKA every single person. Their old blender wishes it could.
23. A stylish acrylic block and set of sleek black knives, because this'll really dress up your kitchen — and the bonus is they actually are really great knives too! Reviewers swear they're the best, sharpest knives — especially for the price.
24. A personal library kit librarians in the making, anyone with an ever-more-extensive collection of books, or for generous book-lenders who definitely want to get their novels back. Using that stamp is *so* satisfying.
25. An HP portable photo printer that'll print photos on-the-go for trendy photo-within-a-photo Instagrams or at home for easy wall décor.
26. 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.
27. Or 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).
Shipping info: Available for free 2-day delivery with $35 orders, or order online to pick up at your local store same-day.

43. A vintagey 8-in-1 entertainment center that'll do it all: play records, stream music from your phone via Bluetooth, record from vinyl, CD, or cassette directly to USB, AND play CDs, cassettes, aaaaand AM/FM radio.

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 your hair in one. With no damage in sight!
