2. An ugly cats in Renaissance paintings calendar because they've done the Jeopardy calendar, they've done the crossword calendar, they've done the comics calendar...but they haven't done this! It'll take pride of place in their cubicle or home office wall.
Decor Hardcore is a small business based in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Promising review: "My brother, sister, and I decided to buy fun esoteric calendars for each other for Hanukkah. My sister is a huge cat lover and this made her day. 100 out of 10 would buy again!" —Gwendy7769

3. A rock climbing mug if your giftee wants to challenge their grip strength. This'll ~hold~ a special place in their heart *and* in the front of their cabinet so it's always the first mug they grab.
Climbergoods is a Pittsburg-based small business run by climbing enthusiast Nathan and their wife.
Promising review: "The coolest mug! I got this for my partner, and he was so happy, as was I. Super easy to grip in whatever way suits you, even with a full cup of coffee." —kacey borin

4. 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

5. A screaming goat that'll accurately portray their mood 99% of the time. It sits on a tree stump and shrieks whenever you touch it, and all I can say is "same."
Promising review: "I spend about 90% of my day silently screaming at the computer because, well, welcome to customer service. Since this little goat arrived, I no longer look like I am practicing for my appearance on Jerry Springer. I just push the little goat. He screams (but not in a disruptive way). I smile. I am no longer annoyed. I survived peak season because of this goat. I owe my sanity to you, screaming goat." —Gab

6. A Carhartt beanie to keep their noggin warm this winter. And it comes in enough cute colors that you'll maybe wanna grab one for yourself too!
Promising review: "I bought this in charcoal and lost it on a trip, so I bought the exact color again because I missed it so much. Now I'm back to buy it in more colors. It is thick (because it's a watch cap) but I wear it year-round in Dallas or Chicago. It's my favorite hat. The fit is snug to the point that I can sling it back without it falling off and it fits over my Afro or straight hair the same and doesn't lose is stretch after washing." —CE.

7. The new AirPods Pro for blocking out the distracting noise of roommates, nearby construction, downstairs neighbors, and more with active noise cancellation. And there's transparency mode when they need 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

8. A pound of cereal marshmallows, because as much as they love you, they've tolerated you eating the marshmallows from their box of Lucky Charms for far, far, far too long.
Promising review: "Buying these charms was one of the best decisions of my life. The bag is twice the size of my head. The marshmallows are aesthetically pleasing and delicious. It's everything I ever wanted in a snack." —Amazon Customer

9. A pack of claw clips if they want a stylish and Gen Z-approved way to hold up their hair. Reviewers say they're strong and durable, even for thicker hair.
Promising review: "I absolutely recommend buying these if you have really thick hair like me. I haven’t been able to find clips that don’t break in my hair or that hold up all my hair. These clips are really tight and I wear them at work with no problems, and they come in cute colors!" —Bethany

Each activity is a surprise until they scratch it off. Snap a pic of all the fun during each challenge and add it to the memory book.
Promising review: "I was gifted this and LOVED it! This is something truly SPECIAL and MEANINGFUL that I would purchase as a gift for any occasion. 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.

11. 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.

12. A pair of fleece-lined joggers to keep their legs nice and toasty if they're always freezing cold.
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

13. A set of two 1,000-piece murder mystery puzzles for putting their sleuthing skills to use. Once they assemble the puzzle, read the included booklet and try to figure out whodunnit.
My parents bought these puzzles at the beginning of quarantine and sent me one. I forgot how enjoyable puzzles are, y'all! Space is limited in my small apartment so I actually put it together on my living room floor. (Honestly, a puzzle mat would have been great because we basically had to avoid the corner of the room where the puzzle was.) It was nice to take a short break during work and piece together the puzzle bit by bit. My partner and I also enjoyed having a shared activity since we usually go do our own thing after dinner; this was a nice way to bond even though we spend basically 24/7 together.

14. A black bath bomb because goths take baths too. Let them escape other humans and turn their bathroom into a relaxing retreat. (And don't worry, reviewers say it won't stain the tub!)
Promising review: "This is the best bath bomb I've ever used. It smells amazing and the water turns BLACK! It made my skin incredibly soft and smells like cinnamon. Amazing bath bomb and def worth the money." —Jordan

15. A cult-favorite ~secret~ popcorn salt if their favorite food is movie theater popcorn. Well, lucky for them this seasoning gives regular microwave popcorn the salty and savoriness they've only experienced with popcorn at the movies. In fact, several reviewers who've worked at the movie theaters and amusement parks swear this is the stuff they used at work, so you know it's the real deal.
BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord swears by this stuff:
"Our family recently unearthed this because beloved To All The Boys I've Loved Before author Jenny Han mentioned that it was her secret to delicious popcorn, and it may have just wrecked me for other at-home popcorn for the rest of my life. It genuinely tastes just as salty and buttery and savory as fresh movie theater popcorn. I inhaled it so fast that every single one of my organs lit up in mild alarm."
Promising review: "This product really does taste just like the movie popcorn salt. What I like best is the very fine grind of this salt: it is almost a powder and sticks very well to whatever you use it on. You will find other uses for this product besides popcorn. I am very satisfied with this product." —TW

16. 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

17. A versatile Always Pan from Our Place 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: "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.
Shipping Info: Processing takes up to two days for in-stock items. Delivery generally takes 1–7 business days depending on your location. Orders over $50 ship free via standard shipping.
Get it from Our Place for $85+ (originally $120+; available in 3 sizes and in 12 colors).
18. A pair of ultra comfy and cozy crossover leggings to make them literally stop opening gifts so they can change into their new leggings.
Promising review: "These are the comfiest pants. I usually buy big baggy sweatpants because I hate the tight cinching around my stomach from leggings or other tight pants. Gives me a stomach ache. But the sweats are not as cute and don’t give you the nice booty visual. I hesitantly bought these pants because the reviews raved about how comfy they were, and the reviews were absolutely right! These are tight around my wait but not in a way that’s uncomfortable at all. They sit nicely. They’re only 'tight' in that they have good tummy control and give you a nice waist. They also give you a bangin' booty, whether you have one or not! Highly recommend this product. Good price for the quality." —Sarah

19. A wireless transmitter for allowing your jet-setting buddy to connect their wireless Bluetooth headphones to wired headphone jacks. This means they'll be able to re-watch episodes of The Office on the airplane TV using their AirPods!
Promising review: "I could not be happier with this wireless headphone adapter. I love my AirPods Pro and hated the fact that I could not use them on flights. After finding these and reading other positive reviews I decided to give it a try. I flew from Miami to London and watched movies, etc. in the plane for 8+ hours with absolutely zero issues and the battery lasted the entire time. Very easy to connect and come in a small drawstring bag so you don’t lose them. Takes up no space in your bag. If you want to use your wireless headphones on a flight or anywhere else that doesn’t offer Bluetooth I highly recommend these!" —Kaylee

20. A craft kit because it's two gifts in one! They'll learn sewing basics and *and* create a fox friend complete with mix-and-match clothing and accessories.
Promising review: "This craft was a hit! The fox was very easy to put together and it turned out so cute! You have to make the tutu by tying a bunch of knots but other than that all of the clothes is ready to go and does not require sewing! The fox came with a little fabric bag to conveniently store it for travel. The materials in the craft are good quality and hopefully will last awhile. My daughter loved this little cute fox!" —Olivia O.

22. A unique Lego flower bouquet so you can show your love is as endless as the life of these flowers. You can choose to gift them the fully assembled blooms, but they may also enjoy putting them together with you!
Promising review: "This is a great gift for anyone who loves flowers. They are as sturdy as they get since they're legos and although they do take a while to build, it's a very fulfilling process. Love it and would set aside as something to gift to several people at any point. They look beautiful!!" —Gaby

23. 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.
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. Redwood

24. A pack of Crayola Globbles to 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

25. 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.

26. A Fender amp key holder because this thing ~rocks~. They'll find it so satisfying to plug in their keys that you may never again hear, "Honey! Do you know where my keys are?" or receive the frantic "On my way, just need to find my keys" text.
Check it out on TikTok.
Promising review: "My husband was so excited to find this keyhook! He is an avid songwriter and musician and loves Fender products. The keyhook looks great, is well made, and is definitely eye catching. Right after we hung it up a friend visited and asked us if it was a custom ordered piece! I was initially concerned with how tight the jacks plug into the base. My fear was that I would pull it off the wall trying to detach my keys...but we have had no problems. It seems to be firmly attached to the wall with the included hardware. Also be sure to pay attention to where you hang it as the jacks stick out from the wall further than your traditional keyhook. All in all, a very cool piece and we are glad we purchased it!" —Leslie W.

27. A splash-proof kids smartwatch if your kiddo is obsessed with your smartwatch but you're not about to drop $200 on a watch they're bound to break. This kid-friendly smartwatch can take videos, pictures, and selfies they can customize with built-in funny filters. There are even built-in games, like Monster Detector, which allows the child to experience AR and "catch" monsters in the real world.
Promising reviews: "I got this watch for my 8-year-old for her birthday and she loves it! She takes pictures, videos, and plays the games." —YaYa
"Super cute and easy to work for my 5-year-old. He loves that he can match mom now! It has games already installed, can take pictures, exercise, and lots more. Entertainment for HOURS!! And you can even change the watch face like an Apple Watch! So cool!" —Brittany

29. An un-bee-lievably adorable beeswax candle with an impressive 70-hour burn time that I 100% guarantee no one else will buy them.
Promising review: "This candle is nice and looks just like the pics. The bees can be a little difficult to get stuck on with the wings too, but not a game changer. It gets a lot of attention and conversation as it is unique. I almost hate to burn it but have done it some. Just have to remember to blow it out before it gets too close to the clamp. If not, the wax gets melted in the clamp itself some and you end up having to dig it out of the clamp. From what I know now, I will definitely be buying a replacement spiral when this one is use up." —Tideman

The kitty is soft and squishy, the light colors are bright and pretty, and it has a good battery life... I loved it so much that I bought another for a friend's daughter. Great little light." —KMMR

31. A Le Creuset magnetic trivet for the chef who's always juggling hot plates. This GENIUS invention allows them to simply hover a hot pot over the trivet and — BAM! — the trivet will stick to the bottom and they can place the pot on any nearby, stable surface. Gone are the days of them frantically shouting "Can someone help me in here?!" when their hands are full.
Promising review: "The wood is really super nice, smooth, and clean. Sticks great to the pan and the silicone rings add great shock absorption so it doesn't make a lot of noise when you sent down my heavy-ass 13-some-inch skillet! Cleans off easily; I've only used it a handful of times but it still looks brand new! A little pricey but it's a premium kitchen thingy. I recommend don't settle for something cheaper." —K. Lujan

32. A waterproof Kindle Paperwhite because they're a minimalist who's in desperate need of a good read but who also hates the idea of cluttering their home with more books.
Promising review: "I’ve always been a physical book kind of person and never got a Kindle because I thought I’d hate it...boy was I wrong. I read more now than I ever have. This is great! I love that I can get a bunch of stuff via Kindle Unlimited and am reading more than I ever have in the past 10 years. It’s small and light so it’s easy to carry. I love the backlit screen and that I can change the font and the warmth of the screen to make it feel and look the way I want. Put on some coffee shop ambience and enjoy your next cozy mystery on Kindle because everyone needs one." —J. Warburton

33. A Chi automatic curling iron if they're a bit injury-prone and always manage to singe their fingers when they handle hot tools. All they have to do is insert their hair into the chamber and the curler will automatically wrap it around the heated rod. It'll beep when the curl has set and that's it!
Promising review: "Nothing short of amazing! So easy to use. Perfect curls every time. No more accidental burns on my neck, ears, or fingers. I love that it beeps to let me know when to release my hair. It’s true that if you get too much hair it safely ejects the hair. The option to switch curl direction is perfect for beach waves. It’s a must buy! I’ve thrown out my other curling irons. This is all I need now." —jerilynnferg

Promising review: "It works like a charm to me. I like how they change the games in the arcade every day. The explore function allows me to find new meetable characters by pointing the camera to different backgrounds. Cooking and customizing furniture also are new unique features for the Pix. QR code communication is a really good way to connect during this pandemic situation. I really hope there will be new version of Pix in the future" —Fairuz Takumi
