    8. A 3D daffodil paper bouquet perfect for Mother's Day, Father's Day, or celebrating the every day. The bouquet packs flat and easily displays upright once opened.

    This box includes four pairs of socks.

    Promising review: "Normally socks are a pretty crap gift for Christmas, but not in this case. I got a better reaction from these socks than I did from any other gift I gave this year. Everything arrived in perfect condition, and looked exactly as it did in the photos. The presentation is fantastic and such a great idea. That was basically the whole reason I bought them, but the recipient said she loves wearing goofy, colorful socks, so this gift will be appreciated beyond the initial fun of opening for the very first time." —Amazon Customer

    It's reflective, so it glows! Some of the reviewers suggest that you attach it with Velcro, or another kind of hook-and-loop adhesive, so you can easily remove and re-attach the cover as needed.

    Promising review: "I absolutely love this vase! This is my second purchase. I bought one for my daughter and one for her best friend. It is not a bright red, it’s more muted – which I love.

    Get it from Amazon for $26.95.

    29. A squiggle mirror you better wriggle into your shopping cart stat! It's so cute it just might be sold out before you can get it for your bestie!

    Promising review: "I absolutely love my little teapot. I use it on the stovetop ever morning and it is perfect. I have had mine about three weeks now and it’s doing amazing. I love using the hot water first for my morning matcha, then I add the loose tea to the remainder of the hot water for my afternoon tea. It’s perfect for me and despite being worried about putting it on the burner at first, it turns out it’s nothing to be worried about at all. It works and looks super cute!" —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $25.49.

    Looking for a version of your favorite game? WS Game Company has a great selection of these brilliant "books!"

    Promising review: "These have adorable vintage designs! Sturdy pieces. The board is ripping a bit but we’ve played this dozens of times with our toddler so I suppose that’s expected. Definitely more pricey than the cheap version you could get for $10 at any big store but honestly it’s worth it to me. It lasts so much longer and it's easier to store. Having it in our front room on the bookshelf makes it easily accessible and blends in with our other books." —Spooky Hobbit

    Get it from Amazon for $39.99.

    35. blanket with foot pockets — this is gonna be a splendid choice if your bud's tootsies love being toasty. All blankets should be like this. ALL OF THEM.

    Promising review: "I love these foot pocket blankets. I bought two and we use them every night. They are beyond soft and they have washed/dried beautifully. They are extremely long and wide so they cover all of you!" —Mountaineer

    Get it from Amazon for $59.99 (available in 10 colors).

    36. A chocolate bar gift set filled with cinnamon cereal chocolate, waffle cone chocolate, popping candy chocolate, bacon chocolate, and even more! These treats aren't for the faint of heart, but they *are* for your sweetheart.

    There's also potato chip chocolate, spicy chocolate, honeycomb chocolate, and croissant-inspired chocolate.

    Promising review: "This is just what was needed to lighten up my fiancé's Wednesday. She loved every flavor, glass of wine in hand! It came shipped in a cool package with ice packs – I live in southern Nevada where it's triple digits outside, so I was expecting to have to put the chocolates in the fridge. But nope, they came cold and dry! The best ordering experience." —Nick Avelli

    37. And finally, a bottle of drinkable glitter for making sure even their drinking water is *extra* special. 

    A martini glass filled with sparkling rose gold liquid
    Amazon

    I'm such a sucker for weird/fun finds online. I impulse bought this the very first time I saw it and, ugh, I adore it. It is such an unnecessarily silly thing *and yet* it really has made for some fun, spruced up, sips. It has no taste, lasts forever (you need very little per cup), and it'll certainly brighten up a boring drink.

    Promising review: "The glitter was excellent and made the beer shimmer just as expected. Everyone loved it and stared at it with wonder and delight. The glitter does coat the glass, making subsequent beers glittery. I recommend jiggling the keg a bit, so the glitter doesn’t settle. This is a great product. I will definitely buy again." —Jennifer Konecky

    Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in 25 colors).
