1. A screaming goat because it accurately portrays 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." —Gab

Promising review: "I use this calendar at work to quiz my coworkers. They all love it. The questions are very good and challenging. If you like Jeopardy and calendars, you'll love this." —Jeremy J. Harker

Promising review: "Buttery soft, leather appearance is done well, solid hardware — great value and fashion staple. Highly recommend when investing in the real deal isn't an option or you want something light let weight. Depending on how you like your fit, this may run a little large." —Walmart Customer

5. 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.

6. A caviar sampler to give them the true ~roe-yal~ treatment. A sampler comes with two different tins of your choosing — perfect for the person who firmly believes that caviar >>> chocolate.
The Caviar Company is a sister-founded company based in San Francisco that's committed to sustainable sturgeon farming practices.
This set comes with: a signature caviar cooler, two 1-ounce jars of caviar, gourmet French cocktail blinis, a 5-ounce Bellwether Farms crème fraîche, and two mother of pearl caviar spoons.

8. The new 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

9. 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

10. A Baby Yoda Bluetooth speaker with a built-in strap so the Force (and the beats) are always with them.
Promising review: "I just wanted a small Bluetooth speaker for bedtime audio books. This is louder than I expected and my son just loves it! It is easy to keep nearby because of its small size, and I am happy with this purchase!" —ray cerda

11. And 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

12. A pair of cubic zirconia huggie earrings to add a little sparkle to their ear candy collection. IMO huggies are such a beautiful style for second or third lobe piercings — so why not treat 'em to a piercing sesh at a Rowan location near you.
All piercings at Rowan are done by licensed nurses (I mean, needles are involved!) who are skin experts in a way the 17-year-olds at the mall who performed all my lobe piercings were definitely not. I got my helix pierced at Rowan and it was such a lovely experience. My nurse was absolutely amazing and painstakingly mapped my piercing to match the placement of the helix piercing I have on my other ear so that it would look symmetrical head-on. Despite having nine piercings already I always get nervous when I get a new one and my nurse was so calm and steady-handed that there were minimal nerves and pain on my end. Healing has been a breeze and I'm already itching to book another piercing appointment!
Promising review: "I bought these to add a little pizazz to my typically boring earring repertoire. I love how they hug my ear lobes so my toddler doesn’t hang from them. They are comfortable and so cute!" —Megan M.
Shipping Info: Processing takes 1–2 business days. Standard shipping (5–7 business days), expedited three-day shipping, and express shipping (1–2 business days) is available for an additional cost.
Get a pair from Rowan for $32 (available in two colors).
13. A dog DNA kit because your animal-loving aunt has always wanted to know exactly what kind of dog their beloved rescue mutt is.
Promising review: "Very cool! My dog is a rescue and I was told he was a border collie mix. His personality lead me to do a test because he just didn’t have the personality a border collie. Come to find out he’s a Shih Tzu/pitbull mix, which makes way more sense." —dede123

14. A Sasquatch candle for the cryptid-obsessed cousin who is adamant that they've seen Bigfoot. While no one knows for sure if your cousin is telling the truth, it has been confirmed that they'll think of you as the best gift giver ever.
This candle smells like pine and harvest spice. Make sure they remove the Sasquatch figure before burning the candle.

15. 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

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.

19. A set of 150 questions because they're inspired by the Love Language test and designed to deepen your connection, even if you and your S.O. have been together ~five-ever~.
Promising review: "My boyfriend and I have been together for a really long time and this game was still so much fun! We played it after a night of drinking wine and cooking so we were pretty honest during these questions. We almost went through the whole deck in one sitting but finally put it away so we can play again." —Chelsbells32

20. A splurgeworthy pair of ballet flats for a luxe and timeless wardrobe staple that'll mold to their feet over time. This is pretty much the closest they'll get to walking barefoot if they hate the feel of heavy, constricting footwear.
Yes, these are 1,000% a big splurge but I can say they are also 1,000% worth it. I bought a pair in 2020 and they are still going strong! They're a great casual shoe but also pair well with workwear if your giftee has to go into an office. And comfort wise they are unbeatable. I live in New York City and when I say we walk, I mean we walk. Everywhere. All the time. I distinctly remember wearing them to work one morning and had plans later that day to meet a friend for dinner. It was so nice that I walked 2.5 miles in them with absolutely no issues. When I tried them on in stores the sales assistant recommended sizing up a half size, which I did when I ordered them online. That was the right move IMO so something to keep in mind when ordering!
Shipping Info: The cutoff dates for Christmas/Kwanzaa delivery are December 13 for ground shipping and December 19 for express shipping.
Get them from Mansur Gavriel for $395+ (available in women's sizes 35–42 and 11 colors).
21. A pair of fleece-lined joggers if they're always freezing cold. The plush and oh so cozy lining will keep their legs nice and toasty this winter.
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

22. A plant-based jewelry cleaner and brush duo so they don't have to do the awkward dance at the sink where they try to avoid getting their wrist candy wet. This jewelry cleaner doubles as nourishing hand soap that removes dirt and oils from the hands *and* metals and gemstones.
Shinery is a woman-owned and veteran-operated small business that sells a line of multitasking solutions that clean your jewelry while you wash your hands.
This kit includes the Radiance wash solution and a cleaning brush.
Promising review: "I was pretty skeptical about this product, but I did the simple hand wash, and not only was my diamond super sparkly, but my hands were also super smooth. It's my new 'must-buy' for girlfriends." —Chris Voelker

23. A K18 set that'll transform their dull, dry, and damaged locks. It comes with the reviewer-loved leave-in mask and hair oil — a superstar combo (although each product is great in its own right!) designed to add shine, reduce frizz, and reverse damage in just four minutes.
I own both of these products and they are well and truly just *chef's kiss* the crème de la crème of hair care if you're someone (or your giftee is) who puts their hair through a lot. I've been bleaching my Asian brown-black hair blonde for ~six years so trust me when I say I've tried a lot of hair products that say they'll restore moisture and help strengthen my hair. Spoiler: Most of them made no difference. K18's leave-in hair mask is truly my holy grail as evidenced by the fact that I willingly fork over $75 for a bottle every few months (so the fact that you're getting a full-size mask and a hair oil for only $5 more is truly a steal). The hair oil is a new addition to my medicine cabinet and is a multi-tasking star: Use it as a heat protectant before styling or as a finishing oil. I do both and love how it makes my hair feel soft and look shiny/frizz-free after blow-drying.

Get it from Sephora for $80.
24. 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

25. 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.
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

26. A tequila-infusing kit for the stressed friend who could use a drink. Each pouch contains dehydrated fruits, herbs, spices, and veggies that inject their alcohol with a delicious and spicy blend of flavor.
Just place the infusion bag in a container (like a mason jar) with tequila. Infuse for at least three days, then remove the bag and make a drink! They can even use the bags to infuse seltzer water rather than a spirit.
InBooze is a Black woman-owned Etsy shop based in Michigan. All their packets are handmade, filled with dehydrated fruits, veggies, spices, and herbs — and each kit is enough to infuse 8 to 10 cocktails. Bottoms up!
Promising review: "I can’t believe how good this is. The flavor is unreal." —Amber Horton

Get it from InBooze on Etsy for $20 (available in a variety of other flavors).
27. A bottle of wine drops if they've love a good red but want to potentially prevent the post-drinking headache. A few drops is supposed to remove the tannins and sulfates that may cause the head throbs.
Promising review: "This product was really amazing. I buy a lot of stuff on Amazon and never write a review, however this product is worth writing one. I've used the Wand as well and like it; however, the biggest drawback of the Wand is having to explain why I'm using it to others and causing undue attention. This is a quick solution to that issue. The product itself works great. I get bad headaches whenever I drink wine, however with this product I'm able to drink two to three glasses without the headaches. I'm not sure exactly what causes the headaches, whether it's tannins, sulfites, etc.; however, I just know this cures the issue. I'm sure there are those who are skeptical, I certainly was, but I can truly say it works for me and hopefully others will find success using it as well." —luke

28. A pop-up flower bouquet card so you can still send a gift to anyone who says, "Oh but I really don't need anything this year!" And if the recipient is an environmentalist, they'll love knowing that cards are made from 100% recyclable paper *AND* the company donates 1% of sales and plants a tree for each bouquet sold.
I gifted my mom the harvest wreath and she thought it was the coolest thing! We have a very curious cat at home so real flowers are often not an option because 1) certain varieties can be poisonous to cats 😔, and 2) it's not uncommon for our kitty to take a bite or two out of the petals 😒. So fake flowers it is! The wreath (and the bouquets) come with a card so you can write the recipient a note. Then you stick everything in the included envelope, seal it, add some stamps, and drop it off in the mailbox for USPS — so easy! You can also ship it directly to the recipient and skip having to mail it yourself; you just won't be able to add a hand-written note, which may not be an issue since Amazon lets you send a gift message with the package.

30. A soft muslin blanket to keep you both warm and cozy while cuddling without causing you to soak your sheets with sweat.
Shyla Smith — a mother of two boys, a full-time attorney, and the founder of Muslin Comfort — set out to create the perfect muslin blanket for adults after struggling to find one on the market.
Promising review: "We are so happy with the 365 Blanket we bought! The gray color is soothing; the soft feel is perfect as we glide into sleep each evening; the weight is perfect — an all-season addition to our bedroom! The length is longer than we expected. This is not necessarily a bad thing. We are so used to blankets that aren't long enough, so it is just something we are getting used to. Amazing purchase — thank you so much!" —Amy A.

All they'll need to do is insert hair into the chamber and the curler will automatically wrap it around the heated rod. Then, a beep will alert them that 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|

32. 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.

Promising review: "I love this mascara. My lashes look full and HUGE and long when I use it and I get a lot of compliments on my lashes now. It’s not sticky like some mascaras are either (I’ve used some that just act as like a glue and it’s awful — not this though). Great stuff. A bit pricey, but quality things usually are." —Erin

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.
