1. A set of three darling dishtowels — snag this cute set fast if you got yourself in a real ~jam~ by forgetting your sibling's birthday is on the way!
Promising review: "I bought a few sets of these towels and LOVE them. They are adorable! The colors are vibrant and bold and the designs are so cute. They look wonderful in the kitchen and certainly brighten things up substantially. In regards to functionality, they are fantastic. They are soft and absorbent. Before using the towels, I washed them using a small amount of detergent and 1/2 cup of salt. I was told that using salt would help to 'set' the colors and the absorbency. I also used 1/2 cup of white vinegar in the rinse water. The towels turned out great.....they're absorbent, soft, and beautiful." —Jani
Price: $13.99+ (available in 13 styles)
2. A monstera stained glass sun catcher — this gift is so unique your beloved would never beleaf you impulse-bought it because of the fast shipping. And you don't need to tell them!
3. Big: A Photographic Album of the World's Largest Animals, a must-see coffee table book for anyone who is *ahem* a BIG fan of wildlife photography.
I own this book! teNeues Publishers has a collection of books that are a total delight! This book is one of my favorite things to have out on display – it is a great conversation starter.
Promising review: "What an amazing addition to my coffee table! This book is stunning appeals to all ages! The photographs and descriptions are beyond belief, almost surreal, and they transport the reader into these magnificent animals’ BIG world! 'Awe inspiring' and 'breathtaking' are the the best words to describe it! The intentional juxtaposition of various animals is also genius and really helps transport the reader into an Attenborough-inspired narrative! I envision this being a perfect gift for many dear friends to come, as this is a classic and timeless addition to any household to marvel in the magnificence of nature." —M Singh
Price: $58.99
4. A deck of Dream Decoder cards to help your mystical sibling try and decode what their dreams really mean. Why do they keep dreaming about their teeth falling out? We all need to know!
5. A darling mini fridge — a gift this spiffy is gonna make your bud feel like you planned this present ages ago, even if the truth is that you have zero ~chill~ and purchased it in a panic at the last minute.
6. An adorable desk lamp that's sure to be the best (K9) companion they've ever had. This gift is a doggone ~bright~ idea, if I do say so myself!
7. A pair of quirky pen holders for anyone who is ~tired~ of giving the same ol' presents.
Promising review: "I work for a freight company and everyone that passes my desk loves this pen holder. I love that it is made of plastic but still looks expensive, because if someone accidentally bumps it off the counter it will not break. This was a two-pack so I gave to the terminal manager. It's a great gift idea." —JayGee
Price: $15.99
8. A set of six self-watering terra-cotta mushroom bulbs the plant parent in your life is sure to appreciate, especially if they have so many plants at this point they don't have ~mushroom~ to get them another one.
Promising review: "I purchased these as a gift for my sister who has over 70 plants in her possession (I know...she's obsessed) and she loves them. They help her cut down on the amount of time spent watering all her plants. She uses them in the heavy drinkers that require frequent watering. I am going to purchase some for myself because I think they are so cute and useful! I really like that they are terra-cotta and can be refilled by simply adding more water — no need to take them out, clean the stem of dirt, etc. like the typical self-watering glass bulbs. In addition, they were actually larger than I had expected. Great product!" —Beetle
Price: $41.99
9. A crystal carafe so lovely you can sit back, relax, and drink in all the compliments your BFF gives you when they open up this luxe gift. Why yes, you ARE the best at picking out presents.
Promising review: "I bought one and love it so much that I got another one. It's meticulously made, gorgeously crafted solid crystal, and has serious heft. It's not huge or unwieldy but has enough capacity for not only nighttime carafe use, but also for daytime, e.g. I make iced tea and use it at my home office. I love the convenience of the glass/cover, which I use not as a drinking glass but for for dust particles not to get into my water and drinks. For the price, this cannot be beat. The quality of this is remarkable and if you're on the fence about this, get it — you won't be sorry. :-)" —landthouspirit
Price: $22.99
10. A Lego bouquet — a surprisingly pretty piece that'll last longer than a traditional floral arrangement. That is, unless they have toddlers in the house.
11. A pack of three collapsible lanterns to surprise your pal with something quirky and cute. Now you get to be the ~fungi~ who gives the best gifts.
Promising review: "These mushrooms are the cutest decorations I've seen. I absolutely love them. They are pretty sturdy once set up, I have them sitting on the ground and placed a smallish brick on the inside for stability. They also come with string if you want to hang them. I am going to put a small tea light or fairy lights on the inside to light them up. Both the wire and the paper seem really durable and seem to be made better than other paper lanterns that I've seen. They are SUPER easy to set up." —Sajujama
Price: $12.98
12. A satisfyingly quiet personal fan for making their retro heart soar *and* for providing a real breath of fresh air when you visit them (if they tend to set their thermostat to "stifling").
Promising review: "I'm a fan of this. What a great vintage look! This 1950's inspired look is packed with modern mechanics and safety. The fan's motor is powerful yet runs quietly. Sure, there's fan noise from the blades chopping air, but the motor itself is quiet. Also, the front grill is protective and would keep curious fingers clear of the spinning blades. The fan looks great on my desk (mix of new and mid-century items) and I love the sound. This is great for an office, bedroom, or dorm!" —Stephen Davis
Price: $39.99+ (available in seven styles)
13. A ceramic essential oil diffuser so they can create a soothing atmosphere in their designated safe space.
14. A silly-but-sleek snail soap dispenser sure to save the (birth)day if you were ~sluggish~ and didn't get a gift until the last minute.
I highly recommend this eucalyptus and mint sanitizer if you're looking for a fresh scent.
Promising review: "We named him Herbie; we use him for hand sanitizer, and he’s absolutely wonderful!!" —G.
Price: $9.99 (available in three colors or multi-color pack of three)
15. A tarot card display stand your BFF can place front and center in their entryway, helping them be aware of what the day has in store when they go through their front door.
Looking for tarot cards with a similar vibe to the ones pictured above? Grab this medieval set!
Promising review: "Great packaging, and the product is exactly as advertised. It can hold up to three tarot/oracle cards, which is great for readings. I've been looking for a card stand that'd hold a card without covering up the images, so this stand is perfect for me. I love the triple moon symbol!" —Esperanza L.
Price: $17.97
16. And a deck of gorgeous tarot cards for helping them figure out what they should plan on for their future. For example...what they should be getting YOU for your birthday.
Promising review: "This deck is unreal. Beautiful artwork that is cohesive and inspiring, high-quality construction, and an informative and well written manual. The attention to detail and presentation of this deck are typically only seen in higher-priced decks. There is a magnetic closure system in the box for easy opening, the cards are nice and thick (though easily manipulated and shuffled), the edges are mirrored, and the print quality is A+. If this deck appeals to you, I recommend you purchase it. Couldn't be happier." —Rachel
Price: $26.35
17. A plant pillow that'll turn their living room into their own secret garden. The REAL secret? How great it is having a garden that needs exactly zero upkeep.
18. A power ring so good looking it basically doubles as decor. If you have someone in your life who loves to workout, this gift is definitely gonna...you know...work out.
Promising review: "I love the weight and ease of use with this ring. It's great for both my arms and abs. An all-around workout!" —J. Barganz
Price: $89 (available in six styes)
19. The most recent basic Kindle (with a front light!) that'll *instantly download* the books they've gotta get their hands on — from both the Kindle store and from their local library's selection of e-books.
It's glare free and has an adjustable front light so you can read in ANY lighting condition — including outside and in the dark!
Promising review: "I bought this kindle because I had a slight dilemma, I wanted to read all these book series but buying the paper books would be super expensive and would take up too much space in my tiny college apartment. I already had a Kindle Fire that someone gave to me years ago but I didn't like using it because I like to read at night to allow my eyes to adjust away from electronic screens. This boi is perfect. I love that I can turn off the backlight and read next to my lamp, just like a regular book. This little rectangle is exactly what I wanted and best of all, it was well within my price range." —Brewityfish
Price: $64.99+ (available in two colors and four styles)
20. A pair of dyed agate bookends, because the bookworm you love deserves a display that's the perfect ge-ode to their favorite novels. The fast shipping is just one of many reasons this gift ~rocks~.
Promising review: "Okay. The ones I got are nearly perfectly matched and have beautiful markings. The pieces are beautiful and I am pleased with the purchase. I wanted to add a pop of color with something my dumb cat can't knock off and shatter." —Jeanqua
Price: $28.99+ (available in six colors and four sizes)
21. A zombie doorstop to give fans of horror flicks who love keeping spooky decor around no matter how far away Halloween is. This gift is so unique they're sure to know it took real ~brains~ to find it!
Promising review: "I'm using this to hold open the door to my studio, which is uncarpeted. I was concerned because it's so light, the floor is uncarpeted, and the door bottom is closer to the top of the head. Even with the winds that come through, it's holding up beautifully and just looks so dang cool!" —Tim
Price: $12.99
22. Or a cactus option if you know they'd prefer something cute over creepy.
23. A velvet storage footrest you can get as a housewarming gift for friends or family who would appreciate getting a ~leg up~ on furnishing their new place.
24. An heirloom doll so darn darling it just might become your new nibling's first best friend. After you, of course!
Promising reviews: "It's beautifully made and I know it will last a long time. My baby is still too little to appreciate it but family members have made several compliments on the craftsmanship and design. It's expensive, but I like the mission behind the product and that takes some guilt out of buying such an expensive toy, in my opinion. I'd buy this again as a gift to a loved one. Lovely product." —Fatima Esquivel
Price: $62+ (available in two sizes)
25. A soup dumpling kit that'll make your foodie friends ~bao~ down to you — you gift-giving pro!
This kit includes woven bamboo steaming baskets, agar agar, a dough roller, spatula, and instructions.
Promising review: "My kids love soup dumplings but I don't know how to make them so I got this as a fun gift activity to do with them. It was AWESOME. The kit was really easy to follow, with step-by-step instructions. My kids had so much fun using the dough roller and it let us get the dumpling wrappers nice and thin. It was easy and, although it did take some time in the kitchen, it was fun. I would definitely do this again and I could see it also being a fun night with friends." —Nicole Fuentes
Price: $59.99
26. An Embark dog DNA test so your pet parent pal can find their fluffer's family connected to over 250 dog breeds (including wolf, coyote, and village dog ancestry!).
It also tests for over 210 health conditions to help pet owners stay aware of what keeps their K-9 safe!
Promising review: "Very cool. My dog is a rescue and I was told he was a Border collie mix. His personality lead me to do a test because he just didn’t have the personality of a Border collie. Come to find out he’s a Shih Tzu/pit bull mix, which makes way more sense." —dede123
Price: $159
27. A deck of black foil playing cards for folks who would love a deck of cards as dark as their sense of humor.
28. A tobacco and patchouli candle in an amber apothecary jar that's waaay too pretty to be this price — take advantage of this steal of a deal and give their bookshelves something to brag about.
These are my favorite candles on Amazon! The jars are gorgeous, they have a clean burn, and the scent is natural — they fill a room without being overpowering. I sincerely think pairing these with some flowers or snacks is a winning gift for any person on any occasion.
Promising review: "Goldilocks would love this candle because everything is just right. Some candle scents are too strong or fake smelling and some are too weak – this candle is perfect. The subtle, yet alluring scent provides nice background fragrance for any room and burns very clean. I'm sensitive to candles with fake chemical smells or wax that burns dirty and these candles are my go-to because they never cause a problem. The glass jar gives a nice glow and the candle has a long life. A little more money than most on here but worth it for 'just right.'" —Sterling
Price: $22.01+ (available in nine scents)
29. A glow-in-the-dark Capture the Flag set — this gift can turn vacations with your extended family into game nights you all remember forever.
Promising review: "The game comes with very easy, animated directions and we were surprised at the high quality of the components. We first tried playing on a camping trip with three families and it only took a couple of minutes to learn the game and set it up before we were giggling like crazy people. It was really dark and the blinking lights and glowing orbs added a lot to the excitement. We played with adults, teens, and young children and everyone really got into it because this is something that everyone can do. My children have been asking to play it every night since." —Roy Jones
Price: $49.90
30. A burger bicycle bell that'll make sure your BFF safely brrrring brrrings YOU burgers on their bike.
Promising review: "No, I didn't buy this for a kid. I bought it for my old self. And yes!! I absolutely love it! The housing is plastic but surprisingly sturdy. The bell sounds like a bike bell should, and hey, it's a burger — a favorite of mine after a long ride." —kimberliee bee
Price: $14.50
31. A magnetic lamp with "floating" orbs — unique decor that's sure to have their minimalist heart all a-flutter.
Promising review: "This lamp is so beautiful it is a piece of art itself. I put it in my family room and it changed the style for the entire room. I feel everything in the room has been upgraded. The light is soft and warm, it isn't to bright or dark and it makes the room feel cozy. It is so pretty it's also nice just as an art figure. Well done." —Amazon Customer
Price: $49.95+ (available in three colors)
32. A pair of dainty threader chains they can thread through one or multiple piercings for a look that's ~sew~ effortlessly cool.
Promising review: "These are a great value on a trendy product. I first saw threader earrings and I was intrigued, but a pair cost $180 so I had to pass. I was thrilled to find this very similar pair for an affordable price. I love that I can thread them through multiple piercings in different configurations for a customized look. I love that there are no backings to lose, and no rigid parts to poke me. They are so comfortable that I forget I'm wearing them, and so attractive! I love them so much I bought additional pairs for gifts and I am sure the recipients will love them too." —A. Baker
Price: $14.99 (available in two colors)
33. A book of MODERN ART to set out on their coffee table and peruse whenever they need an instant shot of serotonin.
34. A pair of light saber chopsticks that'll be a surprisingly practical utensil set and a gift that'll ~force~ a smile out of even the most serious recipient.
This set includes two light saber chopsticks. The "Force" is strong with these (i.e., batteries are included).
Promising review: "These are the coolest chopsticks I have ever seen. The instructions for use and cleaning were clear and concise and the light that they give off is amazing!" —Jennifer P. Lane
Price: $12.97
35. A bonsai starter kit to finally teach your family or friend to be in love with plants as much as you are. Even if they're brand-new to planting, they're gonna ~grow~ attached to this thing in no time!
This kit includes four types of organic seeds (Rocky Mountain Bristlecone Pine, Black Poui, Norway Spruce, and Flame Tree) stored in seed-safe vials for better germination, four biodegradable growing pots, four expanding-soil discs, four bamboo plant markers, one bonsai clipper, and an instruction booklet.
Promising review: "I love this. My bonsai has already sprouted and it's coming along nicely. The best thing about this product is the customer service. They actually take an interest in how things are going and are willing to help you through anything. They respond personally, no form letters, and they give heartfelt responses to your questions and comments. This is definitely one of my best purchases." —G Eckberg
Price: $19.99
36. A NanoSteamer 3-in-1 Facial Steamer so your boo can have a steamy night...alone...at home...with their facial steamer.
This includes a five-piece blemish and blackhead extractor kit. P.S. the facial steamer doubles as a humidifier and a towel warmer!
Promising review: "It takes only seconds to produce steam and I can do it wherever I choose (not just the kitchen table like with the pot of boiling water). My favorite things to do after steaming are mud masks or sheet masks. They work 10 times better after steaming than alone... Aside from skincare, it is great for head colds and stuffy noses. I keep a second one reserved as the family 'de-stuffer.'" —Laura
Price: $33.95
37. A mini Theragun to give a deep-muscle treatment to the person who considers you a (lovable) pain in the neck.
38. Chasing Light, an eye-catching coffee table book nature enthusiasts are gonna love an awful lot.
I own this book! My coffee table book collection is verging on absurd, but did I still need to add this to my stuffed bookshelves? I sure did! AND I'm happier for it! The focus on natural lighting throughout the images is captivating and well worth diving into. Sure, this would make a great gift! But get it for yourself first.
Price: $43.56
39. And finally, a strawberry vase that'll look, ahem, *berry* cute as a statement piece in their home.
Promising review: "Oh my god I am obsessed with this. This is literally my favorite purchase I've made on this website. When I got it I was so excited. The paint is very vibrant and pretty and it's a lot bigger than I thought. I'm in love with this vase and I think you will be too. You need to get this." —Jenna
Price: $25.95
