1. Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza, a fast-paced card-slapping game so they can destroy their family and friends at the next game night.
Promising review: "Bought this by accident because I thought these were baby flash cards. Saw these were actually a card game and tried it with my husband and fell in love with this game. It's fun and competitive. :D" —ChocorateChippu

2. Pixicade — a mobile game maker to transform their drawings into animated games they can play on a phone or tablet. Yep, you read that right. All they need to do is draw, snap a pic, and a playable animated version will come to life.
Promising review: "Man I love this thing, but my 8- and 6-year-old sons love it even more. We’re those parents who are a little strict about 'screen time' with our kids. Let me tell you something: MOST of the time is spent with the kids building their game — the markers, paper and, most importantly, their imaginations of drawing new games are 90% of the fun because they know that their drawing will eventually 'come to life' on the iPad. It sounds unbelievable, but it’s true. The different colors are used to create different things that the game automatically recognize on paper: e.g., use 'red' to draw hazards; use 'green' to make your character that can move, etc. My boys draw anything and, like magic, the screen brings it to life and the remaining 10% blows their little minds (and the parents minds too). Not really sure how it works, but we have a giant notebook full of different drawings and games, two boys who can’t stop using it, and two parents who are totally OK with this kind of 'screentime.'" —Lil

3. A pack of Crayola Globbles that'll keep kiddos busy sticking, squishing, squeezing, stacking, and slinging without you or their parents worrying about sticky residue on ceilings and walls.
Promising review: "I waited over two months to write my review! My 4-year-old daughter plays with these DAILY! YES they do attract dirt and hair. HOWEVER they are so easy to rinse off it's not a big deal! We took these to a family gathering and ended up giving two away because they were SO loved! The two we gave away went to a 12-year-old and my 19-year-old brother. They discovered throwing them at the ceiling fan and watching them shoot across the room, which was pretty entertaining! None of them have busted or ripped and they are definitely NOT gentle with them! I will definitely be buying more!" —Kindle Customer

4. A bottle of Drop It — a sulfite and tannin remover — if they're known in the friend group as the one person who can't hang. This may help prevent their post-wine headache so they can still enjoy the night with friends instead of having to leave after one drink to curl up under the covers with a throbbing head.
One bottle can help keep you headache-free for up to 55 glasses depending on how many drops you use.
Promising review: "I drank wine one night and did not use the drops. WOW, my IBS hit me like a knife! This proves that they really do work. I wish I had an option to give this product 10 stars!!!! I have had IBS for several years and last fall my IBS went into overdrive, after trying to figure out what was possibly causing it I realized that I have been drinking more red wine then usual. I researched it and sulfates in wine are known to irritate people with IBS. I put five drops in a glass of wine and stir it with a spoon; it does not change the taste of the wine. My youngest daughter also has IBS. I had her try it and it also cured her sulfate issues. I thought that I would have to give up wine, but no more!!!" —Keywest

5. A pair of exfoliating mitts for making them go, "Oh, gross!" the next time they shower. The mitts are made of a viscose fiber that buffs away beads of dead skin (they'll literally be able to see them) to reveal buttery, baby soft skin underneath — and probably make them feel like a lizard shedding its skin.
Promising review: "I use a loofah everyday, so I just bought this to use once a week, not thinking it would do much if anything. Man, was I wrong!!! I read reviews, viewed pictures, and watched the videos. I assumed they all used tanning products or spray tans, because the skin in the tub was brown/black. OMG, mine was too!!! I haven't tanned in 15 or so years. It was gross. On the bright side, my skin really does feel great. Just get it, seriously..." —Kim McMahon

6. A TikTok-famous 1,000-piece puzzle from The Magic Puzzle Company because it brings an element of surprise and excitement they've never experienced with other puzzles! Not only is the illustration so beautiful that they'll probably glue and frame it when it's completed, but it also features 50 Easter eggs throughout *and* a magical twist that reveals itself once the puzzle is finished.
Promising review: "What should I say? It kept me busy and overjoyed for hours, got me and my brother to work together, and the ending picture was stunning. The twist was satisfying and felt like a final boss rush in a video game. Absolutely buy this puzzle, and others by this company. It's worth way more than the listed price." —Vincent

8. A pair of glowing lightsaber chopsticks to bring that spicy tuna roll from the plate to their mouth with all the skill of a Jedi. Buy this, you must!
My colleague Emma Lord bought these and loves them. In her own words:
"I bought these for myself, and I love them to pieces. TBH, I use them as decor every bit as much as I use them to eat. Sometimes I just keep them in my work area to light them up during the day to feel fancy. They toggle back and forth between a bunch of different colors, like red, blue, yellow, purple, and multicolor, so you can either make them match *or* have a red and blue one together and bring ~balance~ to the Force."
Promising review: "I purchased these for a friend's birthday present (he is a sushi waiter) and these are flippin' AMAZING. I ordered two sets by mistake, but I am totally keeping the second pair for another gift (or for myself!). These are sure to be great conversation pieces and attention getters. Way to go!" —T.

9. A Trtl travel pillow that'll cushion their neck and keep it upright — which is the best position to prevent neck pain. Plus, their plane neighbors will silently thank you because it means your jet-setter isn't flopping their head from side to side and onto a stranger's shoulder.
Promising review: "Great for sitting up and snoozing. Surprisingly comfortable! Washed up well too." —Pete

The recipe book comes with explanations on how the food chemistry works so it's great for newbie food scientists.

Not only was the whole experience freakin FUN and memorable; we really enjoyed reading the introduction to The Adventure Challenge! It made my boyfriend and I realize A LOT about life!

12. A Chi automatic curling iron because your accident-prone friend deserves perfect curls in mere minutes. They can simply insert their hair into the chamber and the curler will automatically wrap their strands around the heated rod. A beep will alert you when the curl has set. The best part: The barrel protects their fingers from getting burned.
Promising review: "Love it!! I have fine-textured hair — very straight hair. I have trouble not only curling it but keeping it curled. For example the other day I left rollers in my hair for 45 minutes and got a minor wave that fell out in 10 minutes. This tool is easy and fast to use, adds shine, and the curl stays." —Alexandria

13. A Silly Poopy's Hide & Seek game so the kid in your life who's currently in their potty humor phase can delight in finding a rainbow-colored fake poop that gives seekers clues to its whereabouts. Know any parents in desperate need of some alone time? Reviewers swear by this thing for keeping their children entertained so you very well may earn yourself a "~Holy crap~ this gift is amazing text!"
Promising review: "This game is HILARIOUS. My kids love playing with it and taking turns hiding it. (They're 8-, 6-, and 3-years-old). They all think poop is funny and run around yelling 'Silly Poopy where are you?' It keeps them busy for at least half an hour at a time and they leave me alone. Also? It's pretty durable. I found it outside in my garden in the 20-degree winter weather. I guess my 8-year-old left it out there for a few days. It also gets thrown down the stairs and Silly Poopy just keeps on giggling and having fun." —Adele

14. A collagen-coating hair treatment that'll revitalize their dry, damaged, and overprocessed mane overnight.
Promising review: "My hair used to be really soft, and then I discovered hot tools and hair dye. While my hair looks good I really missed the soft texture. This works so well. There are no instructions on the box but I washed my hair with my usual shampoo, towel dried it, worked about two quarter-sized dollops through my hair, let it sit for 20 minutes and then rinsed out. I went to bed with wet hair which usually results in my hair being kind of tangled and rough-looking but I woke up and my hair was as soft and silky as it was before I started coloring it. I'm totally in love with this product, I have long fine hair but this doesn't leave it greasy or weigh it down. I'll definitely buy again." —Ellie

15. A National Geographic geode kit that'll make for a ~smashing~ gift. Now hand me those goggles, please!
It comes with 10 geodes of varying sizes as well as goggles and a display stand.
Promising review: "My 9-year-old niece gets these every year for Christmas. It is a new gift every time! She loves to put on safety glasses and swing that hammer! The geodes are always beautiful. She also loves the element of surprise! This is a wonderful gift that will engage even kids who are not into the sciences. Every year she takes pieces in to share with her class. She also loves to give pieces away as little gifts or mementos. Nat Geo never disappoints!" —Kristin D.

16. An undated planner if they treat themselves to a planner each year and then promptly stop using it come February. And you know what? With this planner, that's totally fine! It's ~un-yeared~ (that's...definitely a word now) so they can use it in 2023, 2033, and 3033. There are also a ton of fun add-ons, like daily sections for doodling, an hourly schedule, month in review pages, and more!
Promising review: "Each page is full of random holidays, celebrity birthdays, doodle activities and writing prompts. Overall a fun planner!" —Jessica Smith

17. A set of wad-free pads (from Shark Tank!) for the person who said, "Please only get me something I'll actually use. These practical pads keep bedsheets from tangling in the wash and forming one large damp ball.
Wad-Free is a small biz that was launched during the pandemic. Cyndi Bray, the founder, learned CAD (computer-aided design) to create the pads.
Promising review: "Wow!!! You wonder if things like this really work and well, I can absolutely confirm it does! First, I was impressed that the package came with two of the devices because I was only expecting one. So there was one for the fitted sheet, and the flat sheet. Finally, I tried it out and my sheets not only did NOT wad up, they came out of the dryer feeling fresher, feeling more dry, and unwrinkled! I will be buying a set of these for each of my immediate family members and close friends! What a great gift!!!" —katy

18. A pack of AirPods cleaners because the last time they offered you an earbud to listen along with them, you actually recoiled in disgust when you saw how gunked up their AirPods were. Squish the flexible square into the AirPods speaker, peel it off, and let 'em gasp in horror at the ear goop that's been dulling their sound quality.
Promising review: "I bought this after seeing it on some BuzzFeed list and thinking about how gross my AirPods probably were. When they came in the mail, I used them immediately. They got all the gunk out that was in the little holes. THEN my husband comes in and sees and wants to use them for his. I learned he has never even tried to clean his own AirPods (?!) DISGUSTING and amazing. It got everything out of his." —Amazon Customer

19. A pair of fleece-lined joggers so soft and snuggly they'll officially become the world's coziest human once they slip into 'em.
Promising review: "I'm very happy with these warm pants. My house is very cold in the winter, and I am very cold in the winter. A few reviewers commented that the fit is weird. It is not. These are sweatpants, and with a thick lining; what did you expect? They are very comfortable and warm. They are stiffer than regular sweatpants because of the lining. But they are sweatpants — meaning they were never meant to make you look like a fashion queen. Just imagine curling up on the sofa with hot chocolate and a friendly cat during polar vortex in your fleece lined pants. Nice and cozy!" —Angela Thompson

20. A portable brewing straw to make them shout, "WHY in the world did I not think of that?!" It allows them to brew a cup of coffee or tea and drink it — no straining needed thanks to the straw's built-in filter. That means they don't need wasteful single-use paper filters and plastic coffee pods.
Promising review: "My girlfriend is a coffee lover and a backpacker. This is a bad combination because until this device appeared on the market, there was no way to get a really good cup of coffee on the trail. And, like most coffee lovers, things could get really ugly in the morning if she didn't get a great cup of coffee. JoGo makes a great cup of coffee, according to my girl. It's also light and compact and durable, so it should survive well on the trail. Which bodes well for my own survival. Thank you JoGo! You saved my life! Update: We did a backpacking trip to Joshua Tree National Park specifically to test the JoGo in the wild. It worked perfectly. My girl loves it!" —Ron

21. A versatile Our Place Always Pan that'll get the job done and look good while doing it. At the intersection of style and function is this pan, which has a steamer basket, a built-in easy-pour spout, and a nesting spatula.
Promising review: "I had been researching different nonstick pans to get for a while and finally decided to purchase the Always Pan, hopeful that it would live up to the hype...and it did not disappoint. It is so nice to make eggs or other meals without any sticking to the pan. It is the easiest to clean. It's beautiful. And it's versatile as it can steam veggies easily, strain pasta with the lid, etc. Favorite addition to our kitchen lately!" —Aniyah H.

22. A pet hair remover if they're constantly complaining about being covered in fur. They can roll it over their couch, bed, favorite blanket, you name it, and watch it lift the fur away. See, they can own nice things!!
Promising review: "If I could give this product six stars, I would. My husband and I use it almost every day. We have three furry dogs and six fluffy cats, which makes for A LOT of hair. We were using a lint roller before we bought our ChomChom Roller. The lint roller didn't work very well and had to be replaced. We have had our ChomChom Roller for months and it still works just as well as it did when we first got it. We can actually invite our friends over now without worrying about all the pet hair." —Morgan Willis

24. A Yonanas fruit soft-serve maker because reviewers swear it gives frozen fruit the texture of ice cream or sorbet. Now they can gobble up their dream flavor combinations. And it's great for folks who have dietary restrictions.
Promising review: "10 out of 5 stars. Status: Legendary! It is a true marvel of science, magically producing perfect frozen yogurt from fruit, yes that's right, magic. It blew my mind how similar it is to real ice cream. If you had placed a bowl in front of me, I dare say I would not recognize its true composition of pure fruit. I can say with confidence, this magic frozen yogurt leaves you feeling full, like you've just had a bowl of ice cream...for breakfast. Which I will admit without shame is my dream breakfast, but a breakfast I have held out on for the sheer sake of dignity, until now my friends. Furthermore, I nominate the creators of this glorious feat of engineering for the Edison Award, or an award of comparable recognition in the categories of invention and nutrition. Bravo! Yonanas inventors, Bravo! You...are...legends." —Tosh

Inside the honeycomb pink ball is a smaller sticky ball that picks up debris and washes clean so they can reuse it.

Promising review: "After just two days of use, this adorable little octopus has done wonders for me, smells great too. Here's how I used it: I wore down the stick just a little to where the texture from the salt is visible, scrubbed around on my face so there was plenty of product, then I used my fingers to gently massage all the gunk away. Rinse, pat dry, and enjoy the softness. Highly recommended for people with sensitive skin like myself." —LuckLocust

Promising review: "I'm an incoming freshman this fall and I bought this to add some personality to my dorm. It has beyond exceeded my expectations! I placed it directly on top of my dorm bed as shown in the display photos and am so pleased with how it looks. It fits perfectly with the gray/white color scheme I was going for and have received numerous compliments from both my friends and RAs when they've visited.

Promising review: "Very small, but very hot. Don’t be fooled by my small hands (above), this hand warmer is about the size of a computer mouse BUT it gets very hot. Perfect for camping, sporting events, hunting, or in my case, a chilly office. It’s small enough to easily fit in my purse so I can tote it with me when I need it. I am highly satisfied.

29. A skin spatula for the person with a 20-step skincare routine. It'll help remove blackheads and de-gunk pores using high-frequency vibrations. This can also help skincare absorb better since pores won't be blocked with debris.
Promising review: "I never write reviews but I could not pass this one up. I have been fighting with my skin for years! After my last pregnancy, I started developing cystic acne; my skin was congested with oil, whiteheads, blackheads, you name it. All those years of desperately doing my own extractions, trying every mask, cleanser, device, my skin was left scarred and discolored. I hated the texture of my skin. I impulsively bought this and tried it the day it was delivered. I was amazed at how well it extracted all the gunk I could and couldn't see lurking under my skin. I use it every night to cleanse, then apply my serum and moisturizer. I took the first set of photos on May 27 and still didn't love how my skin looked under makeup. I could tell it was doing something though so I stuck with it. Three days later, I woke up in shock! Took the second set of photos wearing the same makeup (but needed much less). I am finally happy with the way my skin looks and posted a selfie without a filter for the first time since I can remember! Just try it! (All photos were taken in natural light. Must've gotten some cloud cover in the last one. No filters on ANY of them! I'm still in shock!)" —Marlena H.

Z&Z is a family-owned small biz that specializes in mouthwatering spices.
Promising review: "This za'atar is the best quality I have found. I've also found that the balance of sumac and thyme to be just right. This instantly spices up my boring meal prep food and I put it on my chicken, meats, salads, yogurt, or just in olive oil — basically it makes everything taste so much better. I highly recommend it!" —TC

This fish-shaped cartridge swims around the water tank, inhibiting the growth of buildup for up to 30 days.
Promising review: "A small price for peace of mind that your humidifier water is bacteria-free. Easy to use and cute to see bobbing around in the humidifier. It doesn't add any noise at all. Love it. Easy transaction and fast shipping. A+" —LABoyle

Promising review: "My cat Gambino Bambino would let you brush him bald!!! He loves to be groomed and comes running whenever the brush comes out. Though we love to accommodate, I know he wanted more. He was constantly rubbing his cheeks and ears on the corner of our walls to get even more scratching. I finally came across this product and knew he would love it! It took a little convincing but once he got a hang of it he’s been loving it We have one in the living room, one in the kitchen, one at the top of the stairs and one in the guest room! He is having a great time!!! Very easy to put together and place on the wall." —T. Mangiaracina

Promising review: "Makeup...all of it...even stubborn eyeliner and mascara just melts off. In seconds. Not most of the time. Every time. It leaves behind clean skin that's incredibly soft and hydrated but not oily. I usually break out horribly, and I have severe scars. Or did, until I started using this as soon as I get home. Not one severe breakout in over three months! I’d give 10 stars if I could, and this is my first and only product review online or in social media." —MsDonnaE

34. A sheepskin rug brush if their fave sherpa jacket or blanket started out so cozy and plush but now the once-fluffy fabric is clumpy, matted, and not so soft. This genius brush is designed to restore the fabric so it feels (and looks!) new again.
Promising review: "Long story short, I had a messy, drunken incident that ended up with my family heirloom bearskin rug in the washing machine. The fur was all matted, and I didn’t know what to do. I called multiple taxidermy places that all told me that there was nothing they could do. So I decided to purchase this brush as a last resort, to see if I could possibly revive the hair with this brush. Well lo and behold, it did the trick and the rug hair looks as good as now." —April

35. Sheet Keeper, an elastic band labeled with a sheet size to prevent any confusion the next time you go to the linen closet looking for the sheets for the guest bedroom. You'll be able to quickly and clearly see which sheets are the full set — aka the guest bedroom sheets — and which ones are the queen sheets — aka your bed sheets.
Sheet Keeper is a small business based in Los Angeles.
Promising review: "Great product. Came quickly and they work great! Such a great idea to keep sheets organized and together while being able to tell what size bedding it is. Will order again for sure!" —devonhansen1
Shipping Info: Processing takes 1–2 business days and orders ship from LA, so delivery time varies based on your location. Expedited shipping is available for an additional cost.

36. A touchless stationary vacuum because it makes cleaning the pile of fur their dog sheds each week a breeze. Bending over and sweeping everything into a dust pan only for half of it to not make it into the pan and for the other half to erupt into a dirt cloud that makes them cough? That's a no from me, dawg.
Promising reviews: "This has been a champ for the first few months. So much better than a cordless vacuum stick with a lab that sheds — pull out a wide brush, push it around the room, aim for the stationary vacuum, and let 'er rip (a small broom helps target better for the last step). One minute and done. Emptying isn’t necessary every day, but it is easy to do. No complaints at all so far." —R. Marlowe
"I have an autoimmune disorder that causes reoccurring massive hair fallout. I decided to put one in our bathroom to make cleaning easier. It does the job and has made life a bit easier and a whole lot cleaner. I may add another for our kitchen. We also have a miniature golden doodle. And this vacuum works so much better than trying to manage the hair with a Robovac-type tool that ends up with hair wrapped around its brush." —Rebecca O
