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 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).
3. A 2-in-1 pillow that'll help them drift off to dreamland, 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.
4. 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.
5. 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).
6. 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.
7. A packet of colour-changing white hot chocolate mix that'll magically transform with a touch of hot milk. It's got a rich, creamy texture and tastes a bit like birthday cake, too.
8. An 800-piece puzzle that'll be perfect for the days when heading outside is just not in the cards. Not only is it designed by an actual artist, but it actually comes with a framable print, too, so they can hang it on their wall.
9. A 3-in-1 night light 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.
10. A wrinkle-releasing mist that'll de-crease all their linens so they won't ever have to whip out their ironing kit. Since it's free of dyes and chemical additives (the formula's plant-based), they can spritz this liquid magic on everything from trousers to curtains without worry.
11. 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.
12. 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!
13. A jewellery-cleaning pen that'll restore their bling to its former sparkling glory. The formula is non-abrasive, which means it won't leave their jewels looking cloudy or murky.
14. A Fujifilm Instax camera so they can immortalize all those magical holiday memories. Reviewers say it's super simple to use and love that it has built-in settings so they won't need to be a pro photog to snap cute pics.
15. A bag of fizzing bath salts that'll help them find their chill this holiday season. It's got tons of Epsom salts and vitamin E to relax their muscles and soften their skin, plus relaxing eucalyptus and cedar wood oils to chase away the winter blues.
16. 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.
17. A multipurpose cooking pan because it's probably time they ditched that old set from college. It's designed to replace eight (!!!) different pieces of cookware and has a non-stick coating for easy clean-up.
18. A pack of juicy Lip Smacker glosses that'll give their smoocher that enviable shine. Reviewers love the smooth, glossy formula and say it never feels goopy.
19. 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).
20. A set of 3D metallic nail decals if they're looking to ~zhuzh~ up their manis. They're self-adhesive and reviewers say they have impressive lasting power — even without a top coat!
21. 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.
22. 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.
23. A huge set of gel pens that come in just about every colour and finish imaginable. Each one has a comfy grip tip so their fingers won't chafe while they're doodling and reviewers love that they never dry out (even if they forget to put the cap back on).
24. A swanky pyjama set because it's high time they stopped sleeping in their college T-shirts. The gauzy material is great for sweaty sleepers (and it even comes with an eye mask to keep morning light from scorching their eyeballs).
25. A high-powered handheld plant mister for any plant parents on your list. They won't have to worry about drenching the foliage, either — the spray comes out light as air (but can easily be adjusted if they want more targeted hydration).
26. An adorable doorstop that'll work its way into the heart of any pooch lover. The best part: No early morning walks or poop bags necessary!
27. A collapsible travel mug that won't leak their hot cocoa all over the place. It even has a secret straw stashed away in the lid if they ever get a hankering for a frosty drink instead.
28. Or a customizable sleeve if they already have a favourite cup. It's made of dense scuba foam that'll protect their fingers and prevent accidental slippage, too (if it's good enough for deep-sea diving, it's good enough for coffee).
29. A cozy, coffee-coloured zip-up from lululemon that'll protect them from frosty winter temperatures. It's got extra-roomy sleeves for layering over thicker sweaters, plus a handy drawstring on the bottom to keep out chilly gusts.
30. A pair of Trader Joe's Everything But the Bagel seasoning blends that'll add a sprinkle of flavour to their favourite foods — no bagel necessary. They'll end up using it on everything from buttered popcorn to roast chicken (and will thank you every step of the way).
31. 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.
32. A natural pillow spray that'll help them catch some zzz's this holiday season. It's got vetiver, chamomile, and lavender that'll melt away their stress and anxiety so they can find their bliss (and get a good night's rest).
33. 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.
34. A cordless diffuser so they can refresh their home from top to bottom (without being tethered to a plug). It can be set for four- or eight-hour cycles and even has an ambient nightlight feature.
35. A sandalwood beard comb that'll transform your friend's face bush with just a swipe. It's double-sided, which means they'll be able to use it at every stage in their facial hair journey.
36. A water-resistant notebook that's produced without any trees, water, or waste. The pages are made of recycled stones and won't tear, no matter how many times they edit (and re-edit) their notes.
37. A super-speedy air fryer so your friend can whip up delicious, crispy treats. It's loaded with helpful features, like auto shut-off and a non-stick surface, and is powerful enough to cook frozen foods in under 30 minutes.
38. A LifeStraw for the wilderness lover that'll transform even the dingiest puddle into drinkable water. It'll filter out up to 99.99% of waterborne bacteria and protozoan parasites (and filters to 0.2 microns — that's TINY, y'all).
39. A comfy-cozy sleep mask that's actually weighted for a lil' extra relaxation. It'll help your friend chill out after a long day and doesn't have any Velcro or snaps that could snag in their hair.
40. A set of cheeky resistance bands that'll help them kick their workouts up a notch. Each band has a different resistance so they can keep leveling up their workouts and maxing out those #gainz.
41. A gin-making kit so they can unleash their inner mad scientist. It comes with a bunch of tasty aromatics (like juniper berries) that'll transform any boring neutral alcohol into a mouthwatering treat in less than two days.
42. A pair of extra-large (and extra in-charge) blue light glasses if your friend spends most of their days behind a screen. Reviewers say they're surprisingly lightweight and noticed an immediate improvement in headaches.
43. A leather sheath for pruning shears so your gardener friend can safely stash their sharp tools. It's designed to snap right onto their belt, meaning their snippers will be within reach the next time they're ~trimming~ the tree.
44. And lastly, a skull cakelet pan for the aspiring baker who already has every baking tool known to man. If they ever get bored of creating some pretty spooktacular treats, these pans can also be used to make really dope ice cubes.
