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. An Instant Pot pressure cooker that'll make cooking breakfast, lunch, and dinner so much easier. It can steam, slow-cook, sauté, sous vide — guys, it can even make yogurt.
2. An ultra-plush duvet set that'll make them feel like they're snoozing on a cloud. Reviewers say it's given them the best sleep of their life (and they love that it doesn't get matted after washing, either).
3. An electric milk frother so they can fuel their addiction to fancy café drinks (sans the café prices). It's pretty powerful, too — they'll get a thick, rich microfoam in less than 30 seconds!
4. A set of ultra-sharp kitchen knives so they can finally ditch their ancient set. They're full-tang blades, meaning they won't have to worry about the knives snapping mid-chop.
5. 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.
6. And 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 your pal won't need to scrub each one by hand.
7. A silk pillowcase that'll stop their locks from getting tangled and frizzy while they're sleeping. Reviewers say it only gets softer with every wash — it's the gift that keeps on giving!
8. A set of non-stick copper cookware if they're sick of scraping debris off their pots and pans. Even caked-on food will slide right off (and every piece is oven-safe, too).
9. A mopping robot that'll clean their floors so they won't have to. It's whisper-quiet and, thanks to its square shape, can easily get all the grime hiding in the corners of their home.
10. A 3-in-1 nightlight that they can control without ever getting out of bed. It has a built-in sound machine to help them fall asleep, plus a time-to-rise function so they can stay on schedule.
11. An electric kettle that'll give their current setup a stylish upgrade. The gooseneck spout will give them more control while pouring (which means fewer spills), and reviewers love that they can choose different temperature settings for different drinks, too.
12. A capsule-operated cocktail machine that'll basically be their own private bartender. Each capsule contains all the aromatics, syrups, and juices needed to whiz up a delicious adult bevvy.
13. Or 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.
14. A waterproof security camera so they can peep in on their porch when they're out running errands. Recording starts the second it detects movement and it's equipped with excellent night vision so they'll never miss a thing.
15. An essential oil diffuser if they're desperate for a dose of chill. Reviewers say it's easier to use than fancier options and love that it's small enough to take travelling (let's be honest, hotel rooms could use a ~zhuzh~).
16. A temperature-controlled smart mug that'll keep their fave hot drink toasty 'til the last sip. If they pair it with the companion app, they'll even be able to adjust the temperature when they're out of the room (or out for a quick errand).
17. A bucket-style towel warmer so they can wrap themselves in toasty comfort after a shower. It'll heat up in seconds and is big enough to warm up bathrobes and blankets, too.
18. An extendable bathtub caddy that's big (and sturdy) enough to hold all their bathing essentails. It has a special nook for their tablet or book, plus spots for candles, soaps, and even a wine glass.
19. A collage picture frame for anyone who collects memories, but maybe hasn't gotten around to displaying them all yet. They can use it for photos, plane tickets, adorable notes, or other bits and bobs they hold dear.
20. A fancy Aerogarden so they can enjoy homegrown produce all year round. It has the power to detect when their greens need more food (don't worry, a bottle's included!) and will even remind them when it's time to hydrate their leafy babies.
21. An indoor s'mores kit if they've got a hankering for some ooey-gooey treats. Since it's completely flameless, you won't need to stress about your gift singeing their curtains or other decor.
22. A squishy memory foam seat cushion if your friend is tired of suffering from a numb bum. It's profiled to cradle all the boniest bits of their behind — and reviewers love that they can easily take it with them wherever they go (yes, even on airplanes).
23. A magical stain-removing spray that will lift away the trickiest stains — even the set-in ones that other products just can't seem to coax out. Reviewers say it works in seconds so there's no need for extra scrubbing.
24. A swanky Le Creuset utensil crock if they're obsessing over the brand's chic stoneware home goods. They'll also get three silicone-tipped spatulas and a basting brush — all in a matching shade, of course.
25. A heated mattress pad if they're always dreaming of a cozy, toasty snooze. It has a soft, quilted top that won't crinkle while they're rolling around, plus a handy auto shut-off feature so they can set it and forget it.
26. A geometric planter that'll complete their decorative menagerie. It's deep enough to use as a catch-all dish, too, if their green thumb is looking a lil' wilted lately.
27. A complete charcuterie set that has a concealed drawer for all their cheese knives (and it comes with four, too). The board's divided into sections for all their meats and cheeses, plus a handy cracker shelf. It even comes with a matching round fruit tray!
28. A Magic Bullet blender set because chopping things by hand is just a waste of time, TBH. It can do a whole bunch of other stuff, too (like whipping, blending, and mincing) so they won't have to spend hours meal prepping.
29. A set of sleek porcelain pasta bowls that'll contain all their sauciest ~noodz~. They're shallow enough to maneuver around a fork and knife and won't chip, scratch, or break during dish cleanup.
30. A set of crystal lowball glasses if they're partial to a cheeky Old Fashioned. Reviewers say they're surprisingly durable and can withstand drops with nary a scratch or chip in sight.
31. And finally, a set of floating bookshelves that'll help them work some decor magic. They're just the thing for making the most out of all those awkward nooks and crannies (and won't use up any floor space, either).
