Check out The Wine Savant rainbow wine glasses on TikTok!
Promising review: "I love the colors of these glasses. They aren't too pigmented. The shape is nice and I believe they are a good fit for both red and white wines. I’m very pleased with this purchase." —Amazon Customer
Price: a set of six for $69.95 (available in two other styles)
3. And a wine aerator they simply pop into the bottle of their favorite red, white, or pink. It'll help make their next glass taste better just by simply pouring it.
I bought this for my mom as part of a Mother's Day gift a few years back, and I'll be honest, I've gotten a lot more use out of it. It's so easy to use, I didn't even have to glance at the instructions, and, I mean, come on, when you're in the mood to kick back and sip a glass of Pinot at the end of a long day, who feels like reading a manual? Not I! You literally just twist the pourer onto the decanter, stick the decanter spout into the bottle, and then pour into your glass. It's cool because you can literally see the bubbles forming at the top from it being aerated. I did a taste test to see if I could actually tell the difference or if this was just a phony claim...and it works. It really, actually works. It uses an air intake system to ensure an optimal amount of oxygen!
Promising review: "Purchased this as a gift for my mom. She opened it yesterday and we used it to aerate our wine for the rest of the day. Easy to use, and the wine tasted fantastic! We did a little taste test with nonaerated wine straight from the bottle versus wine from the same bottle poured through this aerator and there was a noticeable difference. Can't beat it for the price." —Amazon Customer

4. A breakfast sandwich maker for ensuring they start their day in the most delicious way.
It only takes about five minutes to make a breakfast sandwich. The surfaces are covered with durable, nonstick coating, and all removable parts are dishwasher-safe. Comes with some recipes for inspo, and PSA: If using meat, it must be pre-cooked.
Promising review: "I'm gadget-obsessed and bought this on a whim, and I'm pretty impressed. I used Pam spray, english muffins, ham, cheese, and an egg. I heated it up a little past the recommended time, set a timer for five minutes, used tongs to lift up the compartments and whaddya know! A perfect, cute little sandwich! I pulled it out with a plastic spatula and set it on a tiny cookie rack to cool so the bottom wouldn't get soggy. Nothing leaked, nothing stuck. Very compact and tidy. Let the contraption cool, then rinse and wipe." —Amazoniac
Price: $46.99
5. A sweatshirt/blanket combo called The Comfy (you may recognize it from Shark Tank!) that might just be one of the coziest things ever invented.
This was another gift I originally bought this for my mom. She always gets cold at night when she's watching TV and she loves it, but it may or may not have ended up in my room one night, and now belongs to me — oops. I LOVE this thing. It truly is so warm and so perfect for cold winter nights when I wanna reach that level of toasty warm my sweatshirts alone cannot accomplish. Plus, you can do things while wearing it! I mean, how else am I gonna keep the entire length of my arms warm while trying to play The Sims?
Price: $47.97+ (available in 18 styles and o/s)
6. Who Do the Stars Say You Are? — a book to help guide them through and better understand their sun sign in the most fun way!

This book is written by BuzzFeed's very own Syd Robinson!
Promising review: "We love this author and are big fans of her pet-focused work with BuzzFeed, so we had to check out this book! It’s so fun and very well written! If you’re into astrology, this is an awesome read!!" —Amber
Price: $9.99/Kindle and $13.49/hardcover
7. A set of bath bombs so they can unwind in the best possible way — with a super relaxing bath, of course!
Promising review: "Bought these for my girlfriend and she said they are BETTER then Lush's bath bombs. We used one together and they smell great, leave your skin smooth, and most do not contain glitter. These bombs are a little bit smaller than Lush bombs but there was no difference in terms of color, scent, or skin softening. You could put Lush on this box and not even recognize a difference. These are quality bombs, if you are looking for a gift for someone or looking to use bath bombs yourself, buy these, you will not regret it." —Amazon Customer
Price: a set of 12 for $26.80 (available in three scent combinations)
8. Colorful touch lamps — a gift for both you and them to help make any distance between you two feel like nothing. When you touch yours, theirs will light up so you can let them know you're thinking of them at any time.
Friendship Lamps by Filimin is a small biz that sells friendship lamps and picture frames handmade in the USA to help keep you and your loved ones connected.
Promising review: "My husband bought this as our daughter is moving to Arizona, and we live in Florida. A unique way to show each other that we are thinking of each other." —Doreen B.
Price: a set of two for $154.99
9. A charcuterie board so they can entertain in style. Even if all they're doing is entertaining for one. (If the gift recipient is making a cheese board for just themselves, tell them they rock and I wanna be their bestie.)
This is a set that comes complete with four bowls (perfect for accompaniments like fruit, nuts, and jams) and a four-piece knife set.
Promising review: "It really is beautiful! The packaging is super elegant! The wood is nice and thick. The ceramic dishes are generous in size, and four was really enough for the kalamata olives, pickled onions, roasted peppers, and black olives. All three cheeses fit nicely in the center. The utensils worked very well, and storing them inside was a nice touch. The magnetic closure worked well. Overall, we really liked it, and will use it each time we have an 'appetizer meal.' It is beautiful as well as practical!" —Mona
Price: $67.99
10. A pair of wireless Bluetooth earbuds that are waterproof, come with multiple silicone earbuds so they can find their perfect size, and happen to be just as good as more expensive headphones on the market at a fraction of the cost (*cough AirPods cough*).
Promising review: "Best decision! These are the greatest headphones ever! I saw them on TikTok months ago and added them to my wishlist. I got a new phone that doesn't have the headphone port so I decided it was time to finally buy them. They are amazing and I probably won't ever take them out of my ears! 😂" —Kate Arnold
Price: $23.99 (available in five colors)
11. A trio of window planters to make a wonderful piece of decor in their living space. AND since it'll be near the window, they'll have peace of mind their new plant babes are receiving ample sunlight.
Promising review: "This assembled in a jiffy and looks great in my window. So glad I chose it for the future home of my herb garden. The pots are a good size and the cord looks sturdy and is generously sized (you can just wrap around the bar a few times to shorten). Note that there are no holes in the pots, if you're looking for drainage. But of course, that's why baby Jesus made power tools." —Cautionary Tales
Price: $32.70+ (available in five colors and two sizes)
12. A gel nail polish kit complete with 16 beautiful colors for bringing their at-home manicure to the next level.
This set comes with 16 gel polish colors, a base coat, and a top coat. It does not come with a UV lamp (which they will need!), so try this reviewer-loved option.
Promising review: "Long before quarantine days I was a nail salon regular. Once lockdown really hit, I realized I needed to take my manicure ~into my own hands~. These Gellen gel polishes give salon-quality results at home. Truly, I can get a full two weeks without peeling/chipping/breaking. The amount of $$$ I have saved..." —Kayla Suazo
Price: $24.99
13. The Book of Unusual Knowledge if they're someone who loves learning tons of random facts, telling their loved ones about all the cool tidbits stored in their brain, or excitedly parking themselves in front of the TV every night to watch Jeopardy!
Promising review: "My best friend is always telling me new facts about the most random things so when I saw this, I knew it had to be added to his bookshelf. And let me tell you the list of random facts keeps on coming. Yeah, yeah, I know...the internet...but sometimes it’s nice to disconnect from technology and read a real book. Couldn’t be happier with this purchase." —Gregory
Price: $12.69
14. A pair of fuzzy cross-band slippers they'll never wanna take off and we can't say we blame them. Just look at how comfy these babies look.
Promising review: "Love these slippers! Not only are they cute but they are super comfortable. With regular, fully enclosed slippers, my feet have always tended to get too hot. With these slippers, I never have that problem, because having part of my foot out tends to help with temperature regulation of my feet. If you have similar issues, I highly recommend these slippers!" —Drakesta
Price: $21.99+ (available in 13 colors and women's sizes 5/6–9/10)
15. A sleek pet carrier that both the pet paw-rent in your life and their fur baby will like. This clear carrier allows them to ride nice and comfy AND with a view while allowing humans the ability to transport their pet more easily (goodbye bag carriers) AND in style. 😎
Vetreska is a small biz that sells super cute pet products!
Check out the pet carrier on TikTok!
Promising review: "I got these for my cats. They are inside boys and when I use the harness in the fenced backyard they tend to eat grass. My ginger is a rotund 19 pounds but this contraption fits his extra large bod with room for him to turn around and check out the ladies." —angjas97
Get it from Amazon for $99.99+ (available in four styles).
16. A Nespresso coffee and espresso machine to bring their morning coffee game to a whole new level of delicious. They're sure gonna love this gift a latte.
It also comes with a milk frother they can use to make lattes and cappuccinos!
Promising review: "I am really enjoying my new Nespresso machine. I have used it to make regular cups of coffee and also to make lattes. The frother that came with it works great! It makes both hot and cold froth! I also bought a pod holder that you can put the machine on top of, and I’m really glad I’ve got that storage space for the pods. I’ve had my machine a couple of weeks now, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone interested in a pod type of machine. It makes way better tasting coffee than my previous machine did." —K Dunn
Price: $239.95
17. A speaker that'll deliver excellent sound quality for all their favorite jams no matter where they use it. Not to mention, just LOOK at its sleek design.
BuzzFeed editor Maitland Quitmeyer raves about hers:
"I *love* this little speaker — it lives right on my bookshelves (without taking up basically *any* room) and fills my apartment with high-quality sound. The lil' portable size is perfect so I can grab it and take it into the kitchen for baking jams™ or into my bathroom for my latest in-shower karaoke session (sorry neighbors). It's adorable, but the sound is crisp, powerful, and well-rounded. Pairing it with my phone was incredibly easy, and it reconnects almost instantly as soon as I turn it on, so it's super user-friendly. I also barely *ever* have to charge it, which is important to me. And yes, that *is* a Jane Austen action figure next to it."
Price: $119.99
18. A one-line-a-day five-year memory book for a fun and sweet way they can keep track of their thoughts, feelings, accomplishments, and obstacles.
Check out our one-line-a-day journal review for more deets!
Promising review: "I've been writing in this little journal for three years now and already bought a second one just to make sure I can continue this wonderful habit into a new volume. The quality of this journal is excellent; the creators obviously put some thought into how much use it would be getting. I'm especially pleased with the paper. I tend to press really hard when I'm writing, but the ink doesn't show through on the other side at all. Highly recommended! Get a few, as you'll probably want to give some away." —StitchingLibrarian
Price: $15.26
19. A board game inside of a book that'll look great on their bookshelf and will make a welcome addition at future game nights with family and friends.
20. Truff pasta sauce — a delicious fusion of fresh tomato goodness, rich truffle flavor, and *just* the right amount of heat to give their next pasta night the upgrade they deserve.
I'm a huge fan of Truff products — their hot sauces, spicy mayo, and olive oil are truly top-tier as a truffle fan. I was super excited when they sent me this pasta sauce to try a few months ago because you can't go wrong with truffle pasta. This stuff is SO GOOD. I love spicy food so I really enjoyed the arrabbiata. It had a perfect kick without being overly spicy — although I have a high spice tolerance so I can't say if that'll be the case for every palate. Not to fret if you don't like spice, because the pomodoro is equally delicious without any spice — just pure tomato/truffle deliciousness. These are such a yummy way to shake up the usual pasta in red sauce — 10/10 recommend!!!
Promising review: "Delicious! Don’t think about it, just order it, you’ll thank yourself later." —Ari
Price: a pack of two for $29.99 (available in three pack options)
21. A weaving loom so they can master a new skill and take up a cool hobby as they enter another spin around the sun.
BuzzFeed editor Chelsea Stuart loves hers:
"My boyfriend got me this loom for my last birthday — the very beginning of March — and little did I know then just how much time I’d have to practice my tapestries. Over the last few months, I’ve watched countless YouTube tutorials, read through a few weaving books, and just tooled around on my own to learn basics like how to warp the loom and then more complicated things like different types of weaves. I would definitely call myself a crafty person, but even if you’re not, don’t let that dissuade you — it’s a really fun hobby to pick up and you can totally go at your own pace! Just make sure you keep it away from your cats (I learned this the hard way)."
Price: $46.99
22. A DIY bath bomb kit complete with everything they need to create their very own bath bombs, which they can then use to take the most rewarding bath EVER!

24. A deck of affirmation cards that are a wonderful combination of funny, inspiring, and aesthetically pleasing to look at.

25. A lovely set of flower hair claw clips for the prettiest and cutest way to keep their locks away from their face.
26. A soft-serve maker that'll allow them to transform frozen fruit into a refreshing sweet treat.
All the parts are dishwasher-safe!
Promising reviews: "I saw one of these in action at a friend's house like five years ago and thought it was just a made up memory, because making ice cream out of solely frozen fruit seems wild. But when I saw a TikTok about it I immediately went to Amazon and bought it. Literally this was the BEST decision of my life. I cannot believe still how amazing this thing is! It makes the creamiest, best tasting fruit ice cream ever. It’s easy to take apart and clean, and super easy to use." —DMCKAY
"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." —Tosh
Price: $35+ (available in six colors)
27. A wireless Bluetooth karaoke microphone to bring the karaoke birthday party of their dreams to them. The best part? They don't have to change out of their pajamas!
It can also connect to their device via cable. Check out our Bluetooth karaoke mic writeup.
Promising review: "Oh my gosh, I love this! I got mine in the mail yesterday and ended up playing with it for about five hours last night LOL. It connects via Bluetooth so you can connect it to your phone — the music and your singing comes out of the microphone's speaker. It has a volume control for your voice and for the music and also an echo feature. You can put an SD card into the bottom of it and record yourself, or connect it with an audio out to record on one of those karaoke apps on your phone. Between this and being able to find just about any song on karaoke via YouTube, you could easily have your own karaoke parties at home!" —Ferretocious
Price: $30.99 (available in 13 colors)
28. Subpar Parks, a hilarious book filled with not-so-great (but funny) reviews from visitors of America's most treasured national parks that'll def make them laugh.
Promising review: "I give 1 star…hardcover is too hard. Just kidding! I give this 5 stars. Without a doubt, this is my favorite coffee table book and surprisingly also super educational. Perfect combination of sassy and informative while poking fun at 1-star reviews of some amazing national parks. I love, love all the added educational snippets along with the review illustrations. And Amber’s writing style is so personal and relatable I feel like we could be friends. Such a fun book, so worth the buy!" —Anna
