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 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.
2. A sherpa back pillow so they can *actually* get comfy when they're working from the couch. It's even got plush stuffed arms to give them a lil' extra support while working, reading, or kicking back and watching a holiday flick.
3. 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.
4. 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).
5. A 2-in-1 mobile battery pack that'll double as a swanky nightlight. It's got an interchangeable magnetic spine so they can disguise it as one of their fave tomes or snap it onto any convenient metal surface.
6. A 2-in-1 pillow that'll make them feel like they're sleeping on a cloud, while cradling their neck in the process. It's soft and fluffy on the outside, supportive on the inside, and suited to all kinds of sleeping positions.
7. A compact tech kit that'll help them keep track of all their cables. It's got a sturdy outer shell to protect what's inside, plus tons of pockets and slots for dongles, chargers, and smaller devices.
8. A chic electric kettle they actually won't mind displaying on their countertop. It's got a huge capacity (almost two litres!), which means they won't need to boil water in batches if they're making drinks for the whole fam.
9. And a matching four-slice toaster that'll complete their appliance ensemble. Thanks to the genius control dial, they'll be able to select the optimal level of ~toastiness~ for all their baked goods (including waffles, English muffins, and bagels).
10. A foldable reading mat so they can plop down with their fave book wherever the mood strikes. It's cushy enough to use as a sleep mat for last-minute guests, but rolls up nice and small so you won't feel bad for cluttering up their space.
11. A charging tray that'll get their devices back to 100%. It's big enough to fit a bunch of gadgets, and the built-in valet tray is just the ticket for stashing small bits and bobs (like keys or jewellery).
12. A roll of chalkboard wallpaper so they can transform their walls into a canvas (or extra-long grocery list, whatever works). Since it's resistant to both steam and moisture, they can slap this on just about anywhere in the house.
13. An aerating carafe that'll breathe some life into their vino. The special stopper will oxygenate the wine as it gets poured inside and makes it super simple to pour what's left back into the bottle for safe keeping.
14. A lavender-scented candle that'll help them calm the heck down on the days when they just need a dang break. It has an impressive 60-hour burn time and won't leave behind any sooty messes — thank you, coconut wax!
15. A genius 3-in-1 rolling pin that'll flatten, flour, and measure their dough. It's got an integrated duster, too, that'll keep their pastry from sticking to everything.
16. A cozy weighted blanket, because everyone deserves to feel swaddled. The gentle pressure will help soothe anxiety, stress, and restlessness — just like a hug from a loved one.
17. Or a cooling weighted blanket if they tend to be a hot sleeper. It comes with its own duvet cover that's made of a moisture-wicking material so they'll never wake up in a pool of their own sweat ever again.
18. A glowing picture frame for displaying all their favourite memories. The floating frame fits all kinds of pics (like photobooth snaps) and can also be used as a nifty nightlight if they need some illumination for their next midnight tinkle.
19. A set of chic matte flatware that'll finally convince them to ditch their mismatched forks and knives (it's time, y'all). Each piece is resistant to fingerprints and can be tossed in the dishwasher, making it the ultimate low-maintenance tableware.
20. A petite wall hook with a built-in mirror that'll help tidy up their cluttered entryway. It'll save them tons of space (coat racks who?) and is perfect doing a quick touch-up before they head out the door.
21. A set of coupe glasses they'll gladly whip out at the next get-together. They're perfect for sipping on bubbly or swanky cocktails, or as serving cups for fancy-schmancy holiday desserts.
22. A petite alarm clock they can set with a simple flip. Seriously — it's that easy. It even has giant "ON" and "OFF" labels on either side so they won't second-guess if they did, in fact, turn the alarm on.
23. An electric fondue pot that'll keep things nice and toasty 'til the very last bite. They won't have to fiddle around with open flames or worry about temperature fluctuations — and it even comes with handy cups for storing their ingredients.
24. A rustic table lamp that'll illuminate the dark corners of their home. The base is made of wood and ceramic, and it even comes with a matching lampshade so it'll be ready to ✨light up✨ their life straight outta the box.
25. A set of white marble vinyl decals if they're dying to switch up their backsplash. They're simple to apply (just peel and stick) so there's no need to hire costly contractors, either.
26. A set of elegant salad servers because leafy greens deserve the 5-star treatment. They're made of acacia, a durable wood that'll outlast maple and birch and is resistant to all kinds of damage.
27. A wearable blanket that'll keep them nice and toasty while they're puttering around the house. It's nice and oversized, which means it'll fit over their chunky holiday sweaters, too.
28. A stackable carafe set that neatly conceals two highball glasses — perfect for savouring their fave spirit. They could even keep it on their bedside table if they constantly wake up feeling parched.
29. A peach- and rose-scented Boy Smells candle if they're having a hard time letting go of summer. Since it's made of coconut and beeswax, it won't leave behind any sooty residue (even if they leave it burning all day long).
30. A chic compost bin that'll help them make their own fertilizer and keep organic waste out of their trash bin. It's got a handy charcoal carbon filter that'll trap odour inside (instead of wafting around their kitchen).
31. And lastly, an emoji art print that'll make them go 😍😮✨. It's got all their faves (yes, even the sweet peach is included), arranged chromatically because who says technology can't be art?
