    47 Things Reviewers Say Make The Best Gifts

    Let's get everyone on your list covered right now.

    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.

    1. A Bluetooth banana phone to make every phone conversation just a little bit funnier — a great gift for all of us who really hate talking on the phone. Talk about an ~a-peel-ing~ gift!

    2. An iridescent Snitch fidget spinner they can play with wherever they go, just like James Potter in fictional days of yore.

    3. 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.

    4. 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!

    5. A desktop inflatable tube guy that can teach everyone a dance move or two. Why *couldn't* use the laugh that this thing provides?! Plus it makes a great gift for ::checks list:: just about anyone.

    The red guy with box and booklet

    6. 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?!

    7. A Santa hat-wearing chicken nugget ornament (and *yes* it is a real! preserved! nugget!) sure to make anyone IRL LOL as soon as they open it (and every year when they hang it on their tree).

    8. An Instax instant camera for printed photographs they can share with friends, use to decorate, or Instagram for a little ~photograph inception~ — all in a *snap*.

    9. 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!

    10. 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.

    The kit

    11. An electric wine opener that'll open a bottle in seconds while they just stand there and watch, seriously reducing the amount of time they have to wait before having a glass of wine.

    12. Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza, a speedy (and hilarious) card game that'll have everyone racing to beat each other to slap the cards while giggling all the way.

    13. A pair of Beats Solo 3 wireless headphones so they can work out, get a snack, or ignore text messages while listening to their favorite playlist — all without being ~tied down~.

    The headphones in black with text "designed for sound. tuned for emotion"

    14. A pair of Apple Airpods (that are 31% off right now) reviewers say are a must if you have an iPhone or other Apple products. They pair easily, stay comfortably in your ears all day, and sound great!

    the airpods

    15. Or a set of snazzy-looking and surprisingly affordable wireless Bluetooth earbuds with great sound clarity (and no background noise). These also come with a couple of sizes of buds so they can ensure a secure — and comfortable — fit.

    16. A *15*-tool Leatherman multitool for the handiest person you know, complete with (deep breath) phillips screwdriver, medium screwdriver, small screwdriver, can opener, bottle opener, wire stripper, needle-nose pliers, serrated knife, ruler, file, carabiner, and more. This bb does *almost* as much as they do.

    The stainless steel tool

    17. Chenille-style fuzzy socks in the shape of quirky creatures who'll make keeping their feet warm all winter less of a ~monster~ undertaking.

    The five pairs of socks in different colors (blue yellow, tan, pink, and green) with ears and different facial expressions

    18. A marble run set so kids can work on developing their problem-solving skills while having a HECK of a lot of fun watching the colorful marbles zip and zoom through tracks and obstacles.

    19. A flippable Belgian waffle maker, because flipped waffles = fluffier, arier insides. YUM. If this is a gift for someone in...your own household, you can also include a promise to whip up a fluffy batch whenever requested.

    20. A Facetory sheet mask subscription box for the gift of relaxation & a little me time *AND* wow-I-didn't-know-my-skin-could-feel-this-good hydration.

    21. A 5-in-1 wine stopper that'll also aerate (so their three-buck ~opens up~ to let the nuances and flavors shine), filter out cork particles, pour neatly, and re-cork the bottle.

    22. A ping-pong set that'll transform any table they already have into their new favorite game.

    23. A Golden Girls blanket in a très chic Pop Art-inspired design for cuddling up with all the coziness they feel when hanging with you — their bestie!

    24. A gold scratch-off map for any travel enthusiast who doesn't just want a boring old *regular* wall map. For an even more personal touch, get it framed and mark the spots you'd like to go together. And then they're done, they can scratch off the coating to reveal a brightly colored underneath to mark off where they've been.

    The white and gold map

    25. A Pride and Prejudice-themed, Earl Grey-scented candle (with a miniature Pemberley and lake on top of the candle???? the genius) that's basically like the comfort food of candles. But warning, this little bb might be too cute to burn.

    The candle tin

    26. A luxurious double-sided shaggy faux-fur duvet set that'll transform their already amazing bed into a cloud-like paradise. It'll make it so hard to get out of bed, every day will feel like a No Bones Day (per Noodle the Pug on TikTok, of course).

    27. The Dyson's Air Wrap Complete, a six-in-one 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!

    28. A mini (but bright and powerful) multimedia projector (and screen!) perfect for turning any room into a mini movie theater. Just plug in a phone, gaming system, streaming stick (including the Amazon Fire TV stick), or laptop.

    29. A gift box of Maya's Cookies (why not start with the Fan Favorites Collection?) which may be vegan, but will appeal to just about everyone. They're that tasty.

    30. A compact Shiatsu massager they can use on their neck, back, legs, and more to relax overworked muscles. Plus, it has an optional heat setting for even more pain relief. It's like giving the gift of a portable spa!

    31. Or a percussion massager with six different head attachments for targeting different areas. Reviewers love it for soothing sore muscles, easing neck and shoulder pain, and working through tough knots. And who doesn't love a massage?!

    the black massage gun, case, and heads

    32. 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 year.

    An example page from the 2022 verson with the question, date, category, and dollar amount of the wager

    33. An external battery that'll be like giving them the gift of an always-charged smartphone for years to come — and really you too when you're out together, since it can charge more than one device!

    The phone-sized external battery, plugged into a phone, in a hand, and being put into a purse

    34. An elegant Bodum pour-over coffee maker for a fancy 5-star hotel room service-style brew in the comfort of their own home.

    35. A screaming goat figurine that'll 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.

    36. 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.

    37. A wedge ice cube set that'll perfectly chill any libation WITHOUT watering it down — and it also happens to look really cool.

    38. 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.

    39. 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.

    40. A Moira Rose 2022 calendar that'll make any recipient absolutely *glad-ridden* and turn them into an absolute *grinagog* as they get to learn and enjoy several new words (and cute illos) each month.

    The calendar

    41. 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.

    42. 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.

    43. A set of jumbo fizzy aromatherapy bath bombs to moisturize any bath-lover's skin and make their next soak a little more spa-like. Ahhhh, relaxation in a steamy tub o' good smells. What a way to spend an evening!

    44. A surprisingly soft tortilla blanket so they can wrap themself up like the couch burrito they were always meant to be.

    Two models sitting on the round blanket

    One reviewer even gave the blanket to her nephew half-wrapped in foil so it looked like a giant burrito. HOW CUTE IS THAT?!

    The blanket folded up and wrapped in foil

    45. A trio of spicy sauces (honey, maple syrup and gochujang sriracha) they'll want to drizzle on *everything* — think roasted veggies, pizza, and cocktail glass rims. Y U M.

    46. A set of laboratory-style shot glasses to truly make drinking a science. Experimenting with different kinds of tequila? Perfect.

    The four shot glasses shaped like beakers and erlenmeyer flasks

    47. A wireless karaoke microphone that'll bring the party wherever they go — it's compatible with any smartphone or tablet and can jam for up to *10 hours* on a single charge. That's a lot of "Total Eclipse of the Hearts" on repeat.
