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 — y'all, 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 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.
9. 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).
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 sleek tabletop vanity mirror if the lighting in their bathroom is less than conducive to makeup application. It's got adjustable lighting and even comes with a detachable magnified mirror that'll help them see every detail.
13. A sturdy reading pillow that'll keep them supported while they're typing that report, catching up on their fave novel, or just cruising through Netflix. It's got arm rests and even has a handy carrying strap so they can easily haul it from room to room.
14. 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.
15. 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.
16. 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~).
17. 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.
18. 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.
19. 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.
20. 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).
21. 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.
22. An air purifier if they're craving a bit of fresh air. It'll suck up pet dander, dust, and is even strong enough to eliminate smoke and stinky odours, too.
23. 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.
24. 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.
25. A geometric candy dish that'll complete their decorative menagerie. It's deep enough to use as a catchall container, too, if they're tired of throwing their keys onto any random surface.
26. 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 — reviewers say even chocolate won't get scorched.
27. An electric pepper mill that'll ~spice~ up their meals at the push of a button. It's got interchangeable snap-on pods they can fill with their fave ingredients and swap out when they fancy a change.
28. A whiskey stone and glass set that'll jazz up their home bar. They'll love that the stones won't dilute their expensive booze, and it doesn't hurt that the crystal glasses look chic as heck, too.
29. 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.
30. A wireless charging station that'll power up their device while they're catching up on their fave show. It'll keep their phone at the perfect angle for video chats and Netflix binges and works through almost all cases, too.
31. An accessory box for stashing both their favourite shades and timepieces. The slots are lined with super soft felt so watches and lenses won't get scratched up (and the lid will stop dust from settling on their accessories).
32. A NutriBullet blender that'll help them whip up smoothies, dressings, or even their own nut butters. It's got super powerful blades that'll slice through basically anything so they can go ahead and get creative.
33. A Black + Decker cordless vacuum that'll suck up all their household debris. Thanks to its narrow size, it can fit in all those tough-to-reach spots, like between appliances or behind furniture — it even has a pull-out crevice nozzle!
34. 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.
35. 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).
