This is the aunt/cousin/play-cousin/in-law coming into the family holiday function beaming and bearing gifts you didn't expect.
1. A chunky cable-knit infinity scarf that'll keep any neck warm in chilly temperatures.
2. A copy of Cravings: Hungry for More because it combines two things that so many people love: Chrissy Teigen and eating. The book is filled with recipes for quick cooking so it'll be good for anyone — even people who aren't master chefs or don't have time to make a five-course feast.
3. A set of cat pens that'll make for some ~purr~ty-looking desk swag and also smooth writing.
4. A food-inspired pin set because, listen, food will always be the gifting answer. ALWAYS.
5. A travel mug to keep hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold. You'll be blessing someone with the gift of convenience and warm whatever-their-drinking that actually stays warm.
6. A Godiva hot cocoa canister with a stunning gold design that'll look fancy and thoughtful instead of a last-minute gift for a person you didn't have on ~the list~. I won't tell if you don't!
7. Smartphone gloves with faux fur cuffs and a dainty bow design so a person can stop doing that awkward half-hand out maneuver to work their phone in the cold. These look fancy and super warm.
8. A long-lasting soy candle because everyone can use a candle in their home or office. It'll give their space a nice scent and create a chill vibe with the warm glow of the light.
9. Mermaid makeup brushes that any beauty lover will be happy to splash in their makeup bag.
10. A set of cozy socks that look so warm and comfy, the person you give these to just might make themselves at home and put 'em on immediately.
11. "Shhh! I'm reading" socks that readers will ADORE and slip on whenever they want to dig into their favorite book in peace.
12. A gradient puzzle that made Oprah's 2018 Favorite Things List. It's beautiful, will give a person a fun project to work on in one sitting or over time, AND when the puzzle's complete, it'll make for great wall decor. Win win win.
13. A set of hand creams that each come individually packaged so you can gift one to different people or ALL to one lucky person. Either way, someone's going to have their winter dryness problem ~handled~ ever so sweetly.
14. A pack of sheet masks since we all have skin and we all need to take care of it, right? Dropping these masks into a small gift bag with a sweet note about how the person you got it for deserves to relax, relate, and release will have 'em feeling all special inside. They'll never suspect that you forgot all about them and that's exactly the way things need to be, right?! Exactly.
15. AND — a scalp massager to keep that "treat yo' self" gift theme going. There's no better way to show some love this season than to encourage someone to step up their self-care game.
16. A tub of thinking putty for anyone who loves a relaxing distraction. It'll be perfect for fidgety busybodies who always need to keep their hands occupied OR they could just regift it. Whatever. It'll be outta your hands and the gift exchange process will be off of your conscience!
17. A set of agate coasters that are classy as all heck and will fit into a home no matter what the style is.
18. A bottle of Mike's Hot Honey because once again, food is never NOT the answer. This'll make anyone who loves spicy and sweet stuff smile most definitely.
19. A faux-fur blanket that'll be a foolproof gift because it's soft, snuggly, warm, and all that good stuff. Who's not going to welcome this new cuddle buddy?
20. A Bob Ross coloring book filled with illustrations of the show's actual paintings. Folks can tap into their creativity while getting lost in their own thoughts the Bob Ross way!
21. A real leather journal that'll make for a classy way to jot down to-do lists, journal entries, and whatever else a person deems worth jotting down.
22. A double-walled water bottle because everyone needs water and why not give 'em a water bottle that doesn't sweat? Sigh. It's the little things that'll count the most.
23. A kitty spoon that'll hang on the side of tea and coffee cups so someone can stir, sip, and hang it when they don't need it. This thing is su-purr cute!
24. A waterproof speaker for nightly sold-out concerts people like to put on in their showers. Trust me. This is going to be a platinum-selling HIT with whoever gets it.
25. A set of succulents (yes, real ones!) that'll make anyone smile who adores plants ~and~ help make a difference for pets in need.
26. A microwave popcorn maker to make movie night an even more fun and yummy experience.
27. A set of playing cards that are just stunning for no reason at all. The person could actually play with them or keep the pretty deck on their desk for decoration!
Look at you being a gift-givin' boss this holiday season — even if no one surprises you with a present and you end up keeping all this good stuff to yourself.
