What a year! The holidays are finally here! And while we’re doing our best to make sure the products we feature will arrive in time, shipping times are especially tricky this year, so we suggest shopping as early as you can.
Stock and shipping times can vary depending on where you live, which product you purchase, and more. So order earlier than you think you need to and be sure to double-check the retailers’ websites for shipping information to ensure that your gift will arrive in time for when you need it.
1. A Revlon styling brush that'll give them the blowout of their dreams sans the salon prices. It's got two kinds of bristles to grip every last hair (even the baby ones) and will leave their mane totally frizz-free.
2. A pair of modern wine glasses so they can enjoy their fave varietal in style. They can withstand a trip through the dishwasher, too, which means they won't have to scrub each one by hand.
3. A bottle of white truffle-infused hot sauce that's as decadent as it is delicious. It's not *just* hot, either — red chili is blended with fragrant white truffle and sweet agave nectar to create a mouth-tingling symphony of flavours (you might even wanna grab one for yourself).
4. A peel-off eyebrow tattoo gel that'll give them bolder, fuller brows in minutes. Reviewers say it's surprisingly easy to use, too, which means they won't need to be a pro to get pro results.
5. A hair-removing tool that'll whisk away unwanted fuzz with minimum ouch. Reviewers love how gentle it is on sensitive skin — it won't cause annoying ingrown hairs and can even be used on ultra-short growth, which means they won't need to wait before trimming again.
6. A Harry Potter LEGO Knight Bus set so they can relive the whole Prisoner of Azkaban saga. It's got hinged doors, a removal roof for easy access, and comes with three characters: Harry, Stan Shunpike, and Ernie Prang.
7. A mulberry silk eye mask that'll make them feel like royalty the next time they tuck in for a snooze. It won't squeeze their eyeballs and won't get tangled in their hair, either (no matter how much they toss and turn).
8. A pair of shield sunglasses that'll protect their eyes from harsh winter sun. Reviewers say that despite their size, these babies are incredibly lightweight and super comfortable, too.
9. An NSFW edition of Exploding Kittens that'll be instantly recognizable to any avid boardgamers. It has the same rules as the original, with the fun addition of a few (okay, more than a few) naughty additions. Bring on the boob wizards!
10. A collection of bestsellers from DAVIDsTEA that'll cure your friend of drink-related boredom. It comes with 12 different crowd-pleasing blends (like calming chamomile and Earl Grey) that are sure to tickle everyone's fancy.
11. A reusable tumbler that'll keep their coffee or hot chocolate warm and toasty. It's made of sturdy ceramic (which means no metallic aftertaste) and is encased in a silicone sleeve that'll protect their fingers from getting scorched, but don't fret — it's also great for frosty drinks.
12. A pair of chilling wands that'll cool down their fave Chardonnay without watering it down. Their silicone hook handles will make them easy to remove once they've reached ~maximum chill~ (and won't accidentally chip their glassware).
13. A USB-powered laser projector that'll light up their gaming room with a galaxy of starlight. Reviewers love using it as ambient lighting for gaming or marathoning their fave T.V. shows.
14. A bag of Frank Body's coffee-based body scrub that'll help wake them (and their skin) up in the morning. There're no microplastics in there, either — the scrubbing power comes from the ground java, plus natural sea salt (with tons of vitamin E and almond oil in there to give them that post-scrub *glow*).
15. A structured neck pillow so they can snooze in comfort on their next long-haul car or bus ride. The hidden internal support will keep their noodle from bobbing around so they won't wake up with a neck crick.
16. A stretchy bike wheel cover that'll protect their ride during the off-season. Reviewers say it's easy to install, fits like a glove, and keeps chain oil from getting absolutely everywhere.
17. A Godiva hot cocoa set so they can really lean into the season — who doesn't love a mug of hot chocolate on a snowy afternoon?
18. A satin bonnet if they're tired of waking up to frizzy, knotted hair. It'll protect fragile strands from breakage while they toss and turn and help preserve their blowout, too — which means less time getting ready in the AM!
19. An LED light strip that's designed to reduce eye strain and fatigue. It's lined with foam tape so they can easily stick it right onto the back of their TV, and it'll help to increase colour contrast so they can marathon their fave movies in cinema-style comfort.
20. A cookbook for home chefs that'll turn up the dial on all their home-cooked meals. It's chock-full of tasty comfort foods that reviewers say are easy to follow (even for newbies), while hitting all the flavour high notes they're craving.
21. An award-winning pillow spray that'll tell their brain it's time to snooze. It's got lavender, vetiver, and wild chamomile that'll help them chill out and ditch their racing thoughts (now is not the time to think about that work presentation, trust me).
22. A funky spiky water bottle that might actually entice them to stay hydrated for once. It helps that it's kinder to the environment than disposable bottles, too, which should put eco-conscious minds at ease.
23. A pack of hydrogel eye masks if their peepers are looking a smidge tired lately. They've got tons of hyaluronic acid and cornflower extract, two ingredients designed to combat tired, dull skin (and give it a boost of moisture, too).
24. A mini pie maker that'll make whipping up holiday treats feel a lot less daunting. It heats up nice and even and is totally nonstick so they won't need to worry about burnt crusts or caked-on filling.
25. A fuzzy hooded cardigan that reviewers say is too comfy to take off. It'll look great belted and paired with slim pants, or slung over their fave loungewear.
26. A portable white noise machine that'll help drown out their noisy neighbours. It's got a dimmable nightlight so they'll be able to find their way to the bathroom, while still being small enough to toss in their bag when they're on the go.
27. A 2-in-1 decongesting face mask that'll suck the stress right outta their pores. It can be used as a balancing cleanser to help even out texture and boost dull complexions or as a mask when their skin needs a bit more TLC.
28. A silk pillowcase that'll stop their mane from getting tangled and frizzy while they're sleeping. Reviewers say it only gets softer with every wash, too!
29. A reusable notebook that'll save them tons of cash on office supplies. Thanks to the specialized pen and some pretty amazing tech, they can upload their handwritten notes to just about any platform. Then just wipe the pages with a damp cloth and start fresh!
30. A rose quartz facial roller that'll have them feeling some ~good vibrations~. That's not just a pun — this baby actually vibrates (around 6,000 times a minute!) to help increase circulation and leave their skin feeling recharged.
31. A set of barrel-aged coffee beans that'll kick their java addiction into high gear. The fresh beans are treated to a long rest in boozy barrels, giving them a deep, rich flavour that ordinary blends just can't compete with.
32. A trio of Glamglow bubbling sheet masks that'll *fizz* the debris right off their face. It's basically a deep cleanse for pores and it works in just three minutes!
33. A 72-piece watercolour pencil set that'll keep their tools neat and tidy for when #inspo strikes. Each pencil is labelled for easy reference and has its own snug groove so they won't need to dig around a messy case for the perfect shade.
34. A five-piece lotion set because dry winter skin is no joke, y'all. Each one's packed with shea butter, grapeseed extract, sunflower, and avocado, which means they'll properly nourish their chapped skin (rather than just sitting on top).
35. An elegant set of artisanal vinegars that'll take their mouth on a tasty journey. Each one is hand-crafted in small batches and infused with tasty herbs and spices — like wild leeks, rosehips, and sumac.
36. A mini mask kit if they crave variety in their skincare. Each tube has a different star ingredient (think 24-karat gold, pumpkin enzyme, and Irish moor mud) so they can dabble in different formulas and figure out their faves.
37. A chic ceramic French press that'll brew up a silky-smooth (and grit-free) cup of java. It’ll keep their coffee hot for longer than a glass or steel press and has a double-layered mesh filter that even the finest grind won’t escape.
38. A bottle of ultra-concentrated beard oil so they can treat their facial hair to some TLC. It's got tons of antioxidants that'll help condition the skin underneath, while stopping pesky in-grown hairs and flakiness.
39. A vibrating skin scrubber that'll shake dirt and grime out of their pores. Reviewers say it even removes sticky blackheads — and the super-high frequency will help skincare absorb deeper into their dermis, too.
40. A silicone thawing tray that'll defrost their food in a flash (so they won't have to default to ordering in). It'll work its magic in about 30 minutes and is equipped with a drip tray to keep counters free of mess.
41. A pair of cozy reading socks so their feet don't turn into icicles the next time they're catching up on their fave book. They're lined with plush sherpa, which means they'd be great for slipping into winter boots on really cold days.
42. A copy of Seth Rogen's debut book, Yearbook, that'll make them giggle and guffaw as much as any funny movie. It's filled with personal stories and juicy tidbits about his youth, his friends, and his experiences in Hollywood so expect some well-known names to make appearances.
43. An electric wine opener that'll uncork their vino in seconds. Gone are the days of wrestling with stubborn and sticky corks — this baby even ejects them once it's done so their poor hands will get a break.
44. A trio of luxe bath soaks that come in holiday scents so they can keep that festive spirit going long after all the gifts are unwrapped. They've got Epsom salts, too, which will help un-knot any muscles that are sore from all that snow shovelling.
45. A set of Dungeons & Dragons bestiary notebooks that'll help them prepare for whatever they happen across on their next quest. They're perfect for jotting down campaign notes or gifting to an entire gaming group.
46. A complete mixologist set if they prefer to whip up drinks the old fashioned way. You won't need to guess which cocktail's their fave, either — it's designed to help them make everything from mojitos to martinis.
47. A device holder in the shape of their fave speedy hedgehog. It's perfectly profiled for their gaming controllers, but can just as easily keep their phone safe and sound, too.
48. An oversized fanny pack so they can live their best hands-free life. It's big enough to fit all their essentials (seriously — some reviewers even use it as a diaper bag) while being conveniently waterproof.
49. A mini food processor so they can ~whiz~ through meal prep. It's got two chopping settings and the petite size means it'll fit into just about any kitchen — even the tiny ones.
50. And lastly, a pair of whiskey glasses with built-in ice moulds that won't water down their expensive booze. The trick lies in the wedge-shaped ice that'll melt way slower than regular cubes — cheers🥂 to perfectly chilled drinks!
Congrats on nailing this whole gift-giving thing!
