We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
1. A cookbook for your friends who can't even boil water properly. For the sake of their kitchen and your taste buds, GET THIS BOOK.
2. A snuggly fleece throw to give to your roommate/S.O. who is always colder than you. Now they can be warm, and you can keep the AC on.
3. An Uber gift card so they'll stop asking you for rides to the airport.
4. A party game for finding out everything you'd want to know about your friends. Be prepared to discover how weird everyone is.
5. A set of long-distance touch lamps that'll light up when you place your hand on it. Give one to a loved one who lives far away — they'll always know when you're thinking of them and vice versa.
6. A cold brew maker so there's always delicious coffee to drink when you go over to their place. And TBH, it'll also make your friend a lot easier to hang out with in the morning, because they're cranky without coffee.
7. An clip-on LED ring light that'll take incredible photos (read: selfies) that the two of you can share.
8. A homemade gin kit for the person who's the gin to your tonic. You can expect a call from them saying, "Hey, do you want to come over and try the gin I made?" Um, yes please.
9. An angry cat watch to pester your perpetually late friend for you. This way maybe you guys can actually catch the beginning of a movie.
10. A pair of earbuds, because while you love your roomies, you don't want to listen to their music on full-blast 24/7.
11. An iTunes or Google Play gift card so they can download fun party games to play such as Heads Up!
12. A mini cast iron skillet for making a sweet dessert for two. (Hint: One of them is you.)
13. A book filled with cocktail recipes to get them through every mundane task. It'll inspire them to whip up more tasty drinks, and there'll definitely be some leftover...for you.
14. A small box of table topics that'll ensure the conversation never runs dry at a dinner party, so you can get past small talk and actually get to know people.
15. A poop emoji portable charger so cute they'll carry it in their bag all the time, which means 1) they won't ever miss your texts due to a dead phone, and 2) you'll be able to borrow it when you're out of juice.
16. A set of ponytail holders for a friend who's always borrowing yours and then losing them!
17. A pair of lightsaber chopsticks any Star Wars fan would appreciate. But the real reason for getting these is so you guys can have a premeal chopstick duel to determine who does the dishes afterward.
18. An odor-eliminating candle to gift to a friend who has extremely cute but smelly pets. Both of your noses will be relieved the next time you go over to their place for a catch-up session.
19. A huge box of snacks the recipient can't possibly finish by themselves...which is where you come in. 😉
20. A set of colorful pens with compliments on them perfect for a coworker. It'll put them in a good mood, and they'll stop taking pens off your desk!
21. A removable London phone booth wall decal that's actually a dry-erase board, so they can jot down things to remember before heading out the door (like, maybe returning that sweater that they've "borrowed" for a year now).
22. A super cute sleeping mask for your roomie or S.O. who always goes to bed early and complains about you leaving the light on. (Look, I can't be creative unless it's 3 a.m., ok?)
23. A DIY plushie kit the two of you can enjoy together because it's a lot more fun to sew with a friend.
24. A bacon curing kit (pork belly not included, unfortunately) even a novice cook can work with. And who will they share the finished product with? Their generous friend who bought them the kit, obviously.
25. A technology guidebook for your parents and grandparents, so they can familiarize themselves with "all the stuff young kids use these days." Frankly, it's better at explaining stuff and being patient than you are.
26. An airtight container that'll keep guacamole fresh for a long time, so you friend/roomie/SO will be more inclined to make more, which means there'll always be guac in the fridge for you to eat.
Kick back, relax, and wait to reap the benefits from your gifts.
