Promising review: "This was a gift item for several people at Christmas, all of whom are avid readers, and although the initial reaction was, "What is it?", once they understood what it was everyone was enthusiastic about using it. I myself have used it, and although it's not necessarily something a person might think they "need", it really is helpful and practical especially when reading for long stretches at a time. And the quality of the wood and craftsmanship is very good. Fairly precise design and very smooth wood. I have to say this is a novel but useful item. And now that I'm using it, I'd definitely rather read with it than without." –DrManCo
Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in three sizes).
3. Or a silicone crab spoon rest that ~snaps~ onto pots and pans, as well as stands freely on countertops. It'll keep their cooking utensils at-the-ready (and off of clean surfaces), all while being completely adorable.
Promising review: "I love my new cooking buddy! He's so adorable and also serves a purpose. He holds my spatula really well and makes it convenient for me to have near by.

Promising review: "I am an interior designer and have been buying high-end luxury goods for many years. I was absolutely floored when we opened these and installed them yesterday into the project we were finishing up. They are so chic and well-made. Even the packaging is on point. This product looks like it came from a boutique gadget shop! Very classy look and it looks way more expensive installed.

Promising review: "I've been a loving user of Balm Dotcom for years now and it's definitely one of my favorite things on the entire website! I love cherry and berry, especially because I can double them as blush sometimes and it looks so glowy and natural. But it's also just such a good balm to use on dry skin – I use it literally everywhere on my face if it's dry and sometimes on my elbows." –EG
Get it from Glossier for $14 (available in nine scents and finishes or bundle and save with the three for $36 trio).
16. A sleep sound machine (with a night light) that'll help them catch some much needed z's.
17. A portable dog water bottle for a loving pet parent with a pup that loves tuckering themselves out with zoomies at the park. All they'll have to do is press the button at the top to fill the mini bowl attachment with water, then release it to stop so their fur baby can lap it up!
Promising review: "This thing is the coolest! I literally tell everyone I know about this thing! It’s perfect for traveling and long walks. My dogs love it! I ended up taking the filter out because it was leaving a black residue in the water. But I put filtered water in there to begin with so no big deal. I love that you can put water back in the bottle. This is especially great on car rides because they won’t always finish what water I give them and I have to dispose of it while riding in a car down the highway. Then the bowl is wet and..well it’s not the most inconvenient thing in the world, but having this makes it all seem so annoying to deal with." –Nicole Buck
Get it from Amazon for $6.39.
18. An automatic dog and cat feeder so they can pre-schedule when it dispenses food to their pets and or even feed them remotely, whether they're miles and miles away or just busy in the next room.
19. An automatic handbag light so they can quickly find what they need with zero rummaging.
20. An Echo Dot that'll play music, order pizza, request rides from Uber, read the news, and answer even the wackiest questions. Unlike a S.O., it won't pretend to not hear you from across the room 😒.

22. An all-purpose Gilette styler that can be a trimmer, shaver, and edger so they'll have everything they need to achieve any facial hair style. Plus, it's waterproof so they can use it in the shower — super convenient.
23. A cookbook and tablet stand made from salvaged wood to give the at-home chef in your life some extra counter space. The best part? Not only will it prop up their reading or viewing material while they cook, it also has an opening on the base so they can easily fit their tablet or phone charger!
Promising review: "Saw this lovely kitchen addition that was iPad-compatible. Considered getting it for myself, as well, as it it really cool-looking and unique. But I decided to purchase only one for my sister as she like everyone in my family enjoys cooking and good food and, with the help of new recipes, finding new favorites to make for her family. After she just finished remodeling her kitchen I thought this would be a great gift. She loved it and was so excited. A beautiful and durable gift." –Crystal

24. A wine glass holder for their bathroom so they can easily take a glass of bubbly into their tub-bly (or into their steamy showers, if they're not much of a bath person).
Promising review: "Bought this as a birthday present for my best friend. We often drink wine together and I know she often drinks wine in the bathtub. She loved this gift and thought it was quite entertaining and the perfect invention for her. If I had a bathtub I would be buying a second one for myself." —Ally Stage
Get it from Amazon for $11.83+ (available in four colors).
25. A robot vacuum that'll actually do an efficient job so they can take vacuuming off of their to-do list.
26. An AeroGarden so they can grow and maintain fresh herbs right from the comfort of their own kitchen, regardless of the outdoor temperature or lighting situation.
This includes six herb seed pods of Genovese basil, curly parsley, dill, thyme, Thai basil, and mint, with a 3-oz. bottle of all-natural plant nutrients (enough for a full season of growth).
Promising review: "I got this as a birthday present for my husband, the classic man who is impossible to buy for, and he was thrilled with it. He's a by-the-numbers kind of guy and followed the directions carefully. As a result, all six of the herbs have germinated, and we are already using some of them (basil, thyme, and dill) only three weeks later. One thing: the light is much brighter than I expected. It's bright. The timer keeps it on for 15 hours a day, so hopefully, there's a place in your house where it won't reflect off the TV screen or light up somebody's bedroom." —Mary B.
Get it from Amazon for $75.72+ (available in three styles and four colors)
27. A wine aerator to speed up the breathing process so they can enjoy that bottle of red right away.
28. A travel-friendly two-in-one blanket and pillow they'll use on flights and road trips from here on out. Its portable pouch can clip onto a backpack or carry-on, meaning you can take its coziness on the go *without* taking up valuable suitcase space.
Promising review: "This blanket was the best for traveling to Europe this summer! It kept me warm in the airport and on airplanes. The blanket and case are easy to throw in the wash and they are very soft! It comes with a clip to clip onto your backpack or purse." —Ashton Moore
Get it from Amazon for $22.95 (available in six colors).
29. A mini Crock-Pot so they can skip the line to the microwave and enjoy a warm lunch right at their desk.

31. A ceramic cup warmer because sometimes people get called into meetings after making their coffee, and when they come back, the coffee is cold and undrinkable. No more!
32. A portable steamer that'll transform a pair of pants from a balled-up-mess to interview-ready in five minutes.
33. A laundry care symbols print so they'll always know the right way to wash each piece of clothing.

38. A felt purse insert for effortlessly transferring their stuff from one bag to another.
39. A handy gadget to turn hot coffee into iced in a matter of minutes — without diluting it!
40. A cosmetic bag that'll lay flat (so every product is visible) and can be closed up with the pull of the string.
41. A seat gap filler so they'll stop losing things to the bottomless pit between the seat and the console aka the "Carmuda Triangle."
42. A Revlon one-step hair dryer and volumizer that'll give them a salon-quality blowout without a ton of elbow grease (nor the two-hand coordination of using a round brush and blowdryer at the same time).
Promising reviews: "OH MY LANTA. PURCHASE THIS NOW. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT. I found this one TikTok and saw the gal's review and had to buy it. I have thick hair and this dries my hair in less than 15 minutes. PLUS I don’t have to fuss with a straightener or a curling iron if I don’t want to! It leaves my hair so soft and shiny and gives it SO MUCH VOLUME! I recommend this to ANYONE I talk to about it. Seriously my favorite styling tool. Seriously so in love." —Sydney
"How have I lived without this so many years?!?! I have long thick, frizzy, wavy/curly hair. Between 2c and 3a curl type. I love my curls and embrace them. However, it's nice to have smooth hair that I can run a brush through daily....A friend of mine has a more expensive brand of blow drying brush and loves it. However; I can't spend $100+ on a hair tool right now. I dug into researching blow drying brushes and naturally the Revlon one kept popping up. The first time I used it, I only put a heat protector on my hair. I didn't use any smoothing/straightening serums. I was BLOWN AWAY by the results. In 12 min I had smooth, shiny, perfectly voluminous, blown out hair. It was AMAZING. Since then I have always used a heat protector and a smoothing serum to protect my hair. And I spend about 15min really working it to style. I'll be damned - it looks salon quality. Another great thing is on my no-wash days I can run it back through my hair to freshen it up in the morning. No more unruly or overly flat hair!" –Jill
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in five styles).
43. A dual-sided device cleaner to sanitize and polish a grimy phone/tablet ASAP.
44. A scalp massager that'll exfoliate any dead skin or product buildup while also helping to distribute their shampoo and give them a bunch of head-massage tingles.
Clara, here! I'll be honest: I was influenced. I'd seen this product just about everywhere on BuzzFeed Shopping and said to myself "hey, you deserve more head massages." Alas – it really makes a difference! I usually wash my hair twice a week, so my mane is riddled with a whole concoction of worldly yuckiness (plus a boatload of dry shampoo) when wash day comes around. This massager helps to break down the buildup on my scalp and thoroughly works shampoo into my hair. The feeling-good part is just a bonus!
Get it from Amazon for $6.98+ (available in three colors).
45. An electric kettle so they won't have to fire up the stove just to brew some tea.
46. An eyeliner stamp for achieving perfectly symmetrical wings in a matter of minutes.

53. A super useful three-piece cosmetics organizer with a retro yet futuristic design, plus tons of glorious storage space for their impressive collection of lotion and potions.
Promising review: "It’s capacity is larger than I expected. It comes with a brush and lipstick organizer. I put all my to-go products in there, yet still have some space left! The cover is really useful – now I don’t have to wipe my products piece by piece so often. The only complaint is that it’s little bit pricey, but overall it’s great organizer to make your desk look neat and clean. It’s worth a try if you're into organizing." –X.L.
Get it from Amazon for $52.99+ (available in three colors).
