1. Socks you can customize with your pet's face. Once you get a pair for yourself you'll want to shower all your loved ones in these cuties. That's it, your holiday shopping is complete!
2. A Dracula garlic mincer for anyone who appreciates irony, has strong feelings about their favorite vampire, or just really loves garlic bread. And if you're on board with all three like me, even better.
3. Londontown's illuminating nail concealer, a sheer but buildable formula that cancels out yellowing or staining, leaving healthy-looking, glowing nails and a little flush of color, which you can also layer for that glazed nail look that's so on trend!
Promising review: "I’m not a big review writer but I had to write one about this polish! Now, it has only been a few days but so far it has been the best nail polish I have ever used! I was hesitant because it’s way more than I have ever spent on a nail polish. But it is so worth it. I don’t know why it seems so different but it was easy to apply and looks as good as when I get a manicure. I have never had that when I have done my own nails! So far, I am hooked!" —jenc
Get it from Amazon for $20 (available in four shades).
Londontown is a woman-owned, family-run business btw!
4. An LED ring light that'll clip right to your laptop, smartphone, or any other device. And with three different brightness intensities, you can customize your selfie or foodstagram like a profesh photog — or just look a little better on your next work Zoom.
5. A sheet mask — FOR YOUR BUTT, because why should your face have all the fun? This bb'll moisturize and tone (hello aloe and chamomile), with one sheet for each cheek. 🍑
6. A Carhartt beanie to ~top off~ all of your fall and winter outfits and warmth and style. 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: "This is the warmest, best hat ever. I've never really worn hats, living in California, but have had to go to Minnesota and other cold places recently for work, and it keeps my head SO WARM. It's soft (I hate even the tiniest bit of scratchy feeling) and the purple sage color is muted and elegant and lovely. I don't think I will ever buy another kind of hat again!" —Lia
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in one size and 35 colors).
7. A gorgeous velvet mini jewelry case so your can pack your favorite key pieces in a safe and sound (and stylish!) way for a ~flying first class~ feeling wherever you go. You'll feel fully accessorized without wasting space or weighing your bag down with heavy pieces.
8. An Amazon Fire TV stick you can simply plug into any existing TV and stream all the shows, movies, and music you want. You can 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!
9. A screaming goat figurine that might help you release just a teensy bit of all that stress. Just press the button on the stump he stands on to hear those bleats that can't be beat — feel free to join in, too.
10. Glossier Lidstar, liquid shadows (or get a set of 'em) you can dot on and blend out with your fingers — truly the easiest and most mess-free way to get a sparkly, glittery look with no fallout. Whether you're off to a holiday party or just running errands, who doesn't want a little extra?
11. A book-tracking bookmark with 100 blank books in the illustrated design (it's double-sided) you can fill in with every title you complete this year *while* keeping your place in your current read. You can throw that old receipt away now.
12. Or a Pride & Prejudice–inspired bookmark who is longing to save your place for you — what a gentleman! And fret not, movie vs miniseries fans — you can choose between 1995 or 2005 Darcy based on your personal preference.
Get them from Nerdy Girl Nation on Etsy for $3.69 each (you can also get both for $6.49, because why choose?)
Nerdy Girl Nation is a Florida-based small business making pop culture–inspired stickers, bookmarks, tees, and more.
13. Carenel Lip Sleeping Masks, which come in a set of three minis (for under $10!) — if you've been looking at the Laneige ones to keep your lips hydrated and supple overnight, you might want to try these instead and save a few bucks! Plus they're sized perfectly for travel.
For reference, the Laneige lip mask contains 20 grams of product, while each of these measures 5 grams, or 15 grams for the entire set. So even with product sizes taken into account, these are a much better deal!
Promising review: "Love this! In my opinion, better than Laniege at a fraction of the price. A bit thicker, which I like. Even though it’s a sleeping mask, I use it throughout the day to keeps my lips moist and soft. Will keep ordering again and again." —Michaela
Get the set of three from Amazon for $9.90 (available in four scent sets).
14. Cosrx’s snail mucin repairing essence that may seem like it would give you the ick, but is totally worth adding to your routine. No snail-like results here: Just pat it in the evening, and you’ll be appreciating the moisture boost right away. Reviewers say it helps with acne, inflammation, peeling, fine lines, and even eczema!
I loooove this essence for whenever I need an added boost of hydration. It absorbs into the skin beautifully!
Promising review: "This product is everything everyone says it is and more. If I could recommend one product that is the key to glass skin, it would be this. It gives an immediate glow, and makes the skin look so supple and healthy. The texture wasn't off-puting for me, but it is a bit slimy and stringy when you first pump out the product. It absorbs pretty quickly and doesn't leave a sticky residue, and it is unscented. Can't say enough good things about this product and the brand. You need this product in your life!" —Sarah Deeb
Get it from Amazon for $14.50.
15. A pack of slouchy Hue socks to add a little extra kick of style to your kicks This look is so on trend right now, and these babies are just an effortless addition. Plus reviewers say they're comfy, thinner at the foot (so they don't feel bulky in your shoes), and not too binding at the ankle!
Check out one way to style them on TikTok!
Promising review: "The second these are out of the laundry, they're on my feet. The slouchy look is so cute and paired with a white tennis shoe — it’s my favorite thing to wear on my feet. They’re so comfortable, very soft, and they don’t leave marks on your legs like most such a socks do from being too tight." —Elisa
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $14.70 (available in three color combinations).
16. A bumper sticker for any silly goose who hates honking. This will confuse, and ultimately delight anyone stuck behind you in traffic or at a red light, too.
Promising review: "SUPER high quality sticker! Thicker than I expected, applied smoothly. I think it should last awhile! It's also hilarious and adorable."—Allie Hartman
Get it from Maplewood Novelty Cistern on Etsy for $7.
Maplewood Novelty Cistern is a New Jersey–based small biz making several delightful bumper stickers — including one that says "Don't Ask Me About My Fanfiction" and a wizard themed anti-honking one.
17. A set of golden stainless-steel chip clips, because if your kitchen cabinet hardware is all gorgeous brass, why shouldn't the closure to keep your open bag of Cheetos Puffs fresh match your aesthetic?
18. A (very pretty!) box of TikTok-loved Maldon flaked salt for adding texture *and* flavor to everything from caprese salads to crispy chicken cutlets to freshly-baked chocolate chip cookies — even a bowl of vanilla ice cream topped with olive oil. YUM.
Promising review: "Have I become a salt snob? I asked for a marble salt box for Valentines Day, and I couldn't very well put common table salt inside such a beautiful thing, could I? No. I did a bit of research and found out that Maldon's Sea Salt flakes are the gold standard... even better than the pink salt I bought at the big box store that rhymes with Bosco! This salt's texture is a delight and the flavor is clean and bright (without being sharp). This is a little luxury in my kitchen, and every time I use it, I'm like, 'Dang. This is the good life!'" —Indiana A.
Get a box it from Amazon for $6.28.
19. A set of cactus-shaped dryer balls whose prickles will ensure your laundry dries quicker and gets softer than ever. Dryer sheets who?
20. A Bluetooth remote control to help you control your phone from afar, so you can turn the page, remotely take photos and videos, and — of course — scroll to the next TikTok.
Promising review: "I've been wanting an auto scroll feature on the apps for reels/TikTok for ages, and I was a little delayed in researching options to achieve just that lol. But I found this remote control that fits on your finger and, although it was an impulse purchase, I am NOT disappointed. Bluetooth and long battery life paired with a comfortable ring feature on your finger to click and scroll makes for the perfect combo when you're laying in bed and you get your phone propped up just right and want to skim thru reels/toks, or if you're in a lovely bubble bath and don't want to risk holding your phone above a potential watery demise...this is the product for you" —Shelby D.
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in four colors)
21. A mini size of Charlotte Tilbury's Hollywood Flawless Filter. Use it alone for sheer, glowy coverage, on the high points of your face, under, or mixed with your foundation for a stunningly natural, just-dewy-enough coverage — the entire internet can't stop raving about it for a reason.
22. An acrylic claw clip emblazoned with hot pink rhinestones to complete the carefully curated fit you're rocking, as any Barbie should!
I have this clip and it's SO cute, and actually holds my hair well!

23. A pair of rainbow drip candles for a whole lot of extra ambiance, whether you're throwing a TikTok-inspired dinner party or just looking for mood lighting during your next movie marathon on the couch.
24. A set of snazzy-looking and surprisingly affordable wireless Bluetooth earbuds so you can jam out to your favorite tunes, nod thoughtfully at your go-to podcast, or simply call into all your Zoom meetings with great sound clarity (and no background noise). They also come with a couple of sizes of buds so you can ensure a secure — and comfortable — fit.
25. A tin of (and I can't believe I'm about to type this, I'm so excited) peppermint bark-covered PRETZELS. If you, like me, love peppermint park and a sweet 'n' salty combo, these are the holiday snack DREAM. I don't want to wait for December!
26. A handy-dandy portable charger that'll be like giving yourself the gift of an always charged smartphone for years to come.
27. A dressy plaid cashmere-feel scarf so you can look put together while staying bundled up all fall and winter.
28. A spiral-bound compilation of 50 New York Times crossword puzzles, because you're basically obligated to complete these under a blanket...on the couch...while reclining at a 45-degree angle.
29. A set of "Welcome to the Barbie Dreamhouse" coffee cups, because if buying these for myself isn't what being an adult is all about, I DON'T WANT IT. The double-walled design keeps your coffee hotter for longer too!
30. A pair of cushiony inserts that'll transform any pair of shoes into Uggs (or bring new life to your old Uggs where the insole is wayyyyy too worn-down).
31. A set of super-sized (9.5 inches!) and super-soft satin scrunchies to keep your hair out of your face while dressing up any outfit — from loungewear to a fancy occasion. Satin is great for protecting your hair too!
32. A box of skin-lifting, pore-tightening Skin1004 face masks with results that reviewers swear by — not to mention the fact that it's weirdly fun? The mask tightens as it dries on your face, giving you the titular "zombie" effect. Just wait 15 minutes and rinse to reveal your glowiest glow yet, thanks to the albumin (aka egg white) and aloe formula.
33. A brightly-hued 17-piece vegan makeup brush set with everything you need to recreate all the stunning and colorful looks you've seen on TikTok — in the height of style.
34. 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.
35. 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!
36. Rainbow stainless-steel straws — they're not only environmentally friendly, but simply darling. I love pretty, practical things, I sure do.
37. A seasonal mug to get, like, NOW because Hallmark released their 2023 holiday movie preview and you need to be prepared for all the cheesy wonders ahead!
38. A lightweight and breathable sleep mask that won't weigh heavily on your nap plans. You might even forget you have this bb on, because reviewers note it's as soft as a T-shirt.
39. A handheld electric milk frother to give you café-quality lattes right in your kitchen. Saving money, drinking fancy — what is better than that?? And reviewers say it's also great for making *cold foam* too!
It's battery operated — just run it in some soapy water for an easy cleaning.
Promising review: "Best thing I’ve ever bought. I kid you not. I use this everyday to make my matcha drinks. It is a lifesaver and saves you so much time. Don’t think you’re lazy for buying it because it’s so worth the money I promise you." —Neg neg
Get it from Amazon for $5.68+ (available in eight colors).
40. A cleaning putty that will use its oh-so-sticky powers to get in every nook and cranny of your ride to remove dust, dirt, and every McDonald's french fry crumb. So satisfying!
41. A skull ice mold, because why (WHY!!!) use boring ice cubes to chill your cocktail when you could be using THIS? Fancy, but make it spooky.
42. A "Keep Driving" mirror sticker perfect for those road trips where you blast Harry Styles albums on repeat. Aka every time you leave the driveway.
43. Murder Most Puzzling, an illustrated collection of *20* different murder mysteries. Each case has a combination of image-based and story-based clues, so you will really have to put your thinking cap on (might I suggest a Sherlock-style deerstalker?).
44. An electric candle lighter to make setting your favorite scented candle aflame even *more* satisfying — and save money on those disposable gas lighters (and never burn your fingers on a match again).
45. Truly ~stellar~ 14-karat gold-plated huggie earrings with *universal* appeal.
46. A pair of TikTok-famous Cushionaire slide sandals that seem to get more popular with every passing day — and for good reason.

Promising review: "Wow!!! Best slides I’ve ever had. I have designer slides and these surpass. True to size.They are super light but sturdy to walk, even on grass and on uneven side walk. Used them to walk my dogs and don’t get my feet dirty because of the wedge height. I’ve put them to the test and I’m Ordering in more colors and a back up pair. They are also stylish so they look cute to wear out. Ordered the orange which is like a camel color. Highly recommend!!!" —Krizia
Promising review: "Best Amazon purchase I’ve made! I have spondylilothesis and spinal stenosis, so I get horrible back, leg and foot pains. This literally helps relieve my pain while I’m working standing on my feet. They are super cute I get tons of compliments on them and they are breathable, lightweight and easy to keep clean. Perfect for Hawaii weather! 💁🏽♀️ There are other brands that look like this but don’t be fooled THIS is the brand that is the most comfortable I have other brands and they don’t cut it!" —Chelsea Proenza

49. A car vent dip clip so you can dip 👏 those 👏 fries 👏 without fumbling with the barbecue sauce and spilling it all over your car. May your commutes home be tolerable and filled with endless chicken nuggets.
Ahhh, the holidays have arrived early.
