    Amazon

    Promising review: "These hair clips are really good quality. My hair is a couple of inches past my clavicle, about 4 inches past, and medium thickness. The clip holds it very secure. I think these clips could hold thin or thick hair. Thank you for a fabulous product." —Debra DeMattei

    Amazon

    Promising review: "I’m a big fan of Laneige, and an even bigger fan of this product. I purchased the gummy bear flavor. It smells incredible, is EXACTLY like the sleeping lip mask product (but in lip gloss form, of course), and the color is SO pretty. It’s a sheer purple, but has just a slight tint. It’s also not sticky like other lip glosses tend to be, but rather it’s really moisturizing. I can’t recommend this product enough." —Jessie

    Promising review: "I ordered this for Valentine's Day for hubby because he looooooves Reese's Cups. They are his favorite candy. I was worried about freshness because while nothing is better than a fresh Reese's, nothing is worse than a stale one. However, this Reese's was fresh and delicious. The chocolate is very thick, which may or may not appeal to some, but there is a nice thick layer of the yummy peanut butter as well. Hubby enjoyed it so it's a win for me." —Tatanisha K. Howard

    The kit comes with three paintings — two landscapes and one portrait of Bob — seven paint pots, a mini paint brush, mini easel, instructions, and more.

    Promising review: "I have to admit I was skeptical because of the price and size. However, I got these for my husband for his birthday (he loves Bob Ross) and What a find!! We had so much fun mixing colors and painting. Would definitely recommend. The fact that they are small makes them even more special. I wish there were more to paint!" —slb m

    9. The Woman in Me, Britney Spears's long-awaited memoir because goddamnit this woman has put up with enough in her life and deserves your support. 

    Promising review: "Britney finally having the space to tell her own story is a highlight of 2023. While over the past few years many wrongs have been made right (or at least as right as possible), this book takes things a step further and offers perspective on events going back over two decades. I easily read the entire book in one sitting, even though it is close to 300 pages long, because growing up with Britney and watching everything she had gone through hearing what was going on behind closed doors felt like reading a letter from a friend. A lot of the book is absolutely devastating, and the fact that she manages to stay resilient through it all is a true testament to her character. I wish nothing but happiness for Britney, whatever she chooses to do with her future now." —Nicole Lynn

    Shipping Info: Free expedited Prime shipping available for Prime Members, and non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).

    the game box and cards, which have cute illustrations on them
    Amazon

    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

    13. The newest AirPods Pro for folks who could use a little peace and quiet (or high-quality tunes!). These'll block out the distracting sounds with active noise cancellation. And there's transparency mode when they wants to still be able to hear what's going on around them.

    Promising review: "I have purchased every generation of AirPods. When I first read the reviews here, before purchasing these AirPods, I thought people were perhaps exaggerating a bit. But after having them for two days, what they say is absolutely true. The sound is amazing. Light years better than the AirPods Pro 1. It’s hard to believe that the richness of sound and bass can actually be produced by these small speakers. The noise cancellation feature is outstanding; in fact, when I took them out of my ears, and was hit with the onslaught of actual live sound around me, I realized just how effective the noise filtration is. They’re comfortable, fit great in my ears, especially with the choices of circular ear pads that are included, and the battery life is so much better than the previous generation. Love these guys. Very satisfying purchase." —M. SHAPIRO

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! From the packaging to the intricate details of the product...this is something you won't regret purchasing. Love what this company represents and was honored to be a part of the experience! Keep up the great work!" —Monique S.

    15. A Silly Poopy's Hide & Seek game because the kid in your life is currently in their potty humor phase — let them 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!"

    John Mihaly / BuzzFeed

    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

    Shipping Info: Free expedited Prime shipping available for Prime Members, and non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).

    Get it from Amazon for $12.99.

    Six colored balls in yellow packaging

    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

    Get a pack of six from Amazon for $8.45.

    17. A Cholula salsa variety pack so good they might invite you over to devour some chips and a whole jar of salsa with them. Or they won't share and TBH we can't blame them.

    three jars of salsa with chips being dipped into each jar
    Amazon

    The bundle comes with Original Salsa, Smoky Chipotle Salsa, and Salsa Verde.

    Promising review: "Whooee, these are so good! I bought these for a gift basket for my brother's birthday, as he loves to cook Mexican food. We were so pleasantly surprised at the freshness. Tasted like homemade. Just the right amount of heat, and I LOVED the salsa verde. Will be buying that one again for myself." —Elle

    18. A bubbling clay mask if you want to give both a fun *and* effective gift. Reviewers say it de-gunks their pores and blackheads without stripping the skin. And the foaming action will make it incredibly satisfying for them to use!

    Promising review: "I love this stuff! I received some for a gift and then purchased it for my daughter from Amazon. It feels like a clay mask going on, and then starts bubbling and turns to a thinner substance when it's done. I feel like it is very gentle on my face. My skin feels amazing after I wash it off. It feels like I used moisturizer, even though I did not. I hear that these masks are very popular in Japan." —L. Shea

    Shipping Info: Free expedited Prime shipping available for Prime Members, and non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).

    19. A drool-worthy faux suede cropped bomber jacket for fashionistas who value both looking chic *and* being roasty toasty.

    Walmart

    Promising review: "I had been eyeing a much more expensive version of this jacket but decided to try this one since the price point was so reasonable. I'm so impressed by the fabric and fit, and love how trendy it is. It's the perfect addition to my closet! OBSESSED!" —MH

    Shipping Info: Expedited 1–2 day shipping options are available at additional cost.

    Get it from Walmart for $54 (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and black or brown).

    20. A pair of fleece-lined joggers for anyone who's always freezing cold. The plush and oh so cozy lining will keep their legs nice and toasty this winter.

    Reviewer wearing the light gray sweats
    The inside of the joggers: a thick white fleece

    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

    Shipping Info: Free expedited Prime shipping available for Prime Members, and non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).

    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.

    22. A TikTok-famous 1,000-piece puzzle from The Magic Puzzle Company because there's more to it than meets the eye! Not only is the illustration so beautiful that they'll probably glue and frame their puzzle when it's completed, but it also features 50 Easter eggs throughout *and* a magical twist that reveals itself once the puzzle is finished.

    Amazon

    Promising review: "I bought this as a gift for my husband because he absolutely loves puzzles and magic, so it was a no-brainer! I was honestly way more excited to finish putting this puzzle together than a normal puzzle because I couldn’t wait to see the end result. Blown away. I’m super impressed and will be purchasing a different version. Oh, and they weren’t kidding about the no dust in the box...very pleased with this purchase!" —Nlbrimberry

    Our Place

    What's included: A nesting beechwood spatula with integrated spoon rest and custom stainless steel steamer basket.

    Promising review: "This pan is EVERYTHING! I went from making pasta in the basket to steaming broccoli in it and then finishing my meal in there. Then I forgot about cleaning it because I’m lazy and the nonstick cleaned up so easily. The sponge they include is incredible, I do all my dishes with it now. Also, it looks really cute sitting on my stove all day." —Darby S.

    24. A splurge-worthy tube of Stila mascara so they'll basically never have to deal with formulas that flake, fade, or streak. Go ahead and gift it to even your pickiest beauty-obsessed friend.

    Jasmin Sandal / BuzzFeed

    Promising review: "Goes on smooth, gives a dramatic but still natural look. Love how it applies to all the lashes without clumping them all together. The black makes my blue eyes pop. Overall love this product. Been trying a few different mascaras that aren’t drug store brands to see if there was a difference and if they are work they the extra price. So far, this one is. As far as I can tell it’s relatively waterproof (been doing a lot of crying recently and the mascara has held up.)" —Realitybug

    25. A very practical rechargeable hand warmer if they have perpetually cold hands. This itty-bitty bb is deceptively powerful and can reach 131 degrees Fahrenheit.

    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. It also arrived fast with my Prime free two-day shipping. 👍🏻👍🏻" —AO

    26. 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.

    reviewer's before and after three days apart and you can see that the spatula helped improve the texture of their face and made their skin look smoother

    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.

    27. A pair of glowing lightsaber chopsticks that'll bring that spicy tuna roll from their plate to their mouth with all the skill of a Jedi. Buy this, you must! "My favorite gift, this is!" they'll say.

    Emma Lord / BuzzFeed, Amazon

    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.

    BuzzFeed editor Heather Braga loves hers: "I have this book (as pictured above) and by that I mean the second I saw it available for pre-order I added it to my cart faster than you could say "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together." As the parent of a 1-year-old, I have many Little Golden Books in my home. However, this one is just STUNNING. I'm a big fan of Taylor (obviously) but was really enamored by how beautiful the pages are. I was so excited to read this lil' biography with my son and teach him a little more about someone I adore (which it does a great job of doing in a pared down way!). It's a short book, looks cute on my desk, and is a hit for bedtime story time. What more could you want???"

    29. 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

    Promising review: "To the seller and creator of this item, THANK YOU SO MUCH. I may sound silly when I say this, but it’s the truth: froggy soap has boosted my serotonin SO MUCH. Ever since I've bought my froggy soap, I can definitely see a change in my mood. Not only has it been a serotonin booster for me, but it has also been a bonding experience. Everyone in my family knows about the beloved frog, and we plan on getting the set of 12 miniature ones so we can all have our own little froggies!!" —Maddison Liddick

    33. A Revlon hot-air brush that'll gift them a magical tool that creates a shiny, salonworthy blowout in minutes. The brush has special vents that allow air to flow so hair dries faster. Plus, it's quicker than using a dryer and then a flat iron or curling iron, which equals less heat damage.

    Promising review: "This product did what it said it would and more. It is easy to use, and it has saved me time getting ready in the morning. My hair is so shiny and full of volume. It feels very healthy. Even the ends of my hair look good. I have even been able to use it to extend days between washes. Very impressed." —Sara Kovach

    Get it from Amazon for $33.19+ (available in two styles and a variety of colors). If you've tried barrel-shaped hot-air brushes before without success and have tighter curls or coils, you may want to try the paddle brush version, which reviewers with 3a–4c hair swear by.

    34. A genius and also really freaking adorable tote bag because they're passionate about 1) reducing their plastic waste, and 2) anything that's obnoxiously cute. The little plushie sits on the shoulder while the bag's in use and then they can roll up the bag into the plushie. Genius!

    Promising review: "This bag is very cute and lightweight. Side note: Yes, the plush is attached to the bag and cannot be removed. The tote itself is not huge but it can hold just enough for whatever you need. The material is thin but nicely made." —Mikayla

    Check out my colleague's Truff hot sauce review for some delicious ideas.

    Promising review: "This hot sauce is absolutely incredible! You can put it on almost anything and make it still and it taste 100x better. I've bought many hot sauces in the past and no sauce can even touch the truff sauce. 100% recommended purchase even though might be a bit more expensive, it's still worth it!" —Chace A.

    36. A Hugimals weighted stuffed animal so they have something to squeeze when you're not around. 🥺 The creator used expertise from occupational therapists, pediatricians, and psychiatrists to dream up a toy that not only combines the benefits of deep touch pressure (like a weighted blanket), a soothing tactile sensory experience, and an easy-to-wash design, but also feels like it can "hug you back."

    Promising review: "Re-entering social and work engagements after two years of quarantine brought on unexpected anxiety and sleep disruptions. Weighted blankets were too warm. This has been the greatest gift! Just enough weight to be calming and soothing. Falling asleep more naturally with his Hugimal goodness!" —PK
