We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
1. A bottle of Mike's Hot Honey for anyone who enjoys the sweet and spicy side of life. Drizzle it on pizza, ice cream, waffles, wings, cheeseboards, and even in cocktails to create something un-bee-lievably delicious.
2. A box of conversation starters that'll reveal secrets about people you thought you knew and turn a table of strangers into friends.
3. A cat ice cube tray for the feline fan. Each tray creates a litter of cat-shaped ice cubes, candies, or soap depending on how they use it.
4. An itty bitty knife sharpener, because you know they haven't sharpened their knives since they bought them...five years ago. A dull knife is actually more dangerous because it requires more force to cut things, which increases the chances of it slipping — and there's nothing no more terrifying than giving dull knives to a room full of slightly drunk party guests.
5. A literary cocktail book that'll help them find a drink inspired by their favorite novel. Friends don't let friends order Fireball shots anymore, OK?
6. Capri Blue's Volcano candle so their house can smell like Anthropologie — aka the best scent in the world.
7. Or, a candle to remind them of the smells of their home state. This is always a great option if you don't know what kind of scents they like.
8. An olive oil decanter for the chef and host who loves cooking but hates when a recipe calls for a drizzle and they end up accidentally pouring a quarter of the bottle on their salad because of the bottle's dang wide mouth bottle. *shakes fist*
9. A set of beeswax wraps that'll help any eco-conscious host cut down on their single-use plastic waste. They're made of organic cotton, beeswax, jojoba oil, and tree resin, and the packaging is made of 100% recycled paper and biodegradable cellulose, which comes from plants. The heat from their hands softens the wrap so they can smooth it over containers or food. Then, the wax cools and hardens, forming a protective seal. And! They're washable; just make sure you tell them to use cool water so as to not melt the wax and let them air dry.
10. A strainer and bowl set can help them strain pasta with ease after boiling a pot of starchy goodness for the third time this week (#thriving).
11. A before-you-go toilet spray so guests can poop in peace. Nervous pooers everywhere thank you.
12. A pack of wine condoms for when the party ~finishes early~ and there's still pinot leftover.
13. Minimalist oval serving platters that'll have guests asking, "Am I in a fancy restaurant right now?" — even if the only thing they're serving on it are Cosmic Brownies.
14. A tabletop wine cooler to help them chill drinks in a matter of minutes. Bottles stay chilled for up to four hours — no ice or water needed.
15. A jar of lemon curd, because it's zesty and delicious and they'd probably never think to get it for themselves.
16. A set of cheese knives so every guest can dig into their Instagram-worthy cheese board with ease.
17. A portable bluetooth speaker that'll bring the beats for every part — and for less than $30.
18. A whiskey glass for the GoT fan who's still mourning the end of their favorite show.
19. A Fujifilm Instax Mini so they can document every Instagrammable party moment — and send their guests home with a keepsake.
20. A set of emoji cookie cutters and nonstick cookie sheets so they can bake up a storm without running out of pans — and every guest can enjoy cookies straight from the oven.
21. A collapsible coffee press that'll change their lives — trust us. They'll be able to ditch coffee pods and filters in favor of this little guy, which has a reusable filter. It's great for travelers or lazy people who don't have time to make coffee in the mornings but hate the java at the office.
22. A utensil drainer that'll make them smile when they're cleaning up the ~massive~ pile of dishes after their party.
23. An adorable catch-all dish for their random bits and bobs. OK, I'm going to go ahead and say it. This is the best housewarming gift ever and I'm really upset that my friends did not get this chonky boy for me.
24. A set of geometric trays so they can easily stack and customize to fit their storage needs.
25. A pan organizer that'll no doubt have them exclaiming, "thank god" when they open your gift. No more precariously stacking pans in the cabinet and hoping they don't come tumbling out when they open the shelf!
26. A set of unbreakable stemless wine glasses so they can enjoy their party instead of cleaning up after clumsy guests.
27. A zodiac necklace to put you in their good book even if you had to look up when their birthday is on Facebook to figure out their sign.
28. A birth month flower kit for the gardening enthusiast who never turns down an opportunity to show off their green thumb. Then, they can throw another party in a few months to celebrate when the flowers bloom.
29. A custom face magnet, because who *doesn't* want to be gifted a hand-drawn version of themselves?
30. A light-up sign with letters they'll want to use as decor for the party — and every day after that.
Me resisting the urge to add all of these to my cart:
