Hey! While we try to keep our posts updated as much as we can, this post is actually from 2017, so we can't guarantee that the pricing and/or availability of the products featured are accurate. Check out the 2018 version of this post for our most up-to-date splurge-worthy gift recommendations!
1. An elegant, no-frills wine decanter that works WONDERS on the taste of ~young~ and cheap wines, aka pretty much all Trader Joe's hauls 🙌.
2. A body cloud – err, pillow — for fluffy comfort and support from all sides. Who needs another human being to hug when you've got this?
3. An ancestry or ancestry + health kit that breaks down percentages of ancestral roots and associated health risks all with just some spit in a tube! #science
4. An unbelievably stunning lip balm set to treat pouts to ~true luxury~ blessed by 23-karat gold and camellia oil.
5. A custom soundwave necklace so your poetic words are never, ever lost on them.
6. A pair of Adidas Superstars for feet that always march to the tune of style and comfort.
7. A portable but mighty movie projector to host cozy movie nights (with homemade popcorn, no debates) whenever going out seems extremely unappealing (so, like, all the time).
8. Comfy noise-canceling headphones that block out any and all disturbances — because sometimes you've just had ENOUGH and need to carve out a musical oasis of happiness and serenity.
9. An espresso station with a frother, glass carafe, and plenty of customized brews to go caffeine-crazy over.
10. A soothing 10-motor massage mat for warm relief from head to toe — the lumbar area heats up to 140 degrees in less than eight minutes with a click of the remote and there are three vibration intensity levels to choose from.
11. An Amazon Echo Plus with improved speakers and extended bass for 360 degrees of pure auditory bliss, plus a built-in ZigBee smart home hub for easy lighting syncing.
12. A one-pound (!!!) professional-grade blow dryer to unlock the secrets to conducting an at-home red carpet blowout — with air speeds up to 80 and 94 mph, your hair will be dry, volumized, and totally smooth/unfrazzled in no time.
13. A unicorn-approved makeup kit with kaleidoscopic eyeshadows, highlights, and lipsticks that will elevate any party look to its full ~magical~ potential.
15. An insanely soft organic cotton jogger set (made out of 70% bamboo, 26% organic cotton, and 4% spandex to be precise) that will make it a million times harder to leave home, but hey, no complaints here.
16. Sturdy, sleek luggage accompanied by a mini suitcase of TSA-approved minis — because, tbh, how often do we forget our toothbrush, toothpaste, and face cleansers? Too often.
17. A smart toaster oven with a ~snazzy~ convention setting that automatically adjusts temperatures and shifts heat to areas that need attention, as well as a user-friendly LCD screen and nine pre-set functions so you can cook and reheat with utmost confidence!
18. A compact white noise machine to stop the endless suffering of noisy, no-sleep nights, because absolutely no one deserves that!
19. A gorgeous set of forged Japanese-style knives that stay razor sharp with little maintenance so you can chop, chop, chop your way to culinary excellence without breaking a sweat.
20. A chic turtleneck sweater dress comfy and roomy enough for countless days of holiday feasting.
21. A part ceramic straightener and part hot brush styler extraordinaire to effortlessly achieve a whole head of smooth, straight strands in less than 20 minutes.
22. A pair of stylish, slush-defying snow boots that definitely don't belong in the typical "ugly, overly thick/padded, and generally meh" winter boots selection.
23. Or #bosslady OTK heeled booties because sometimes you just gotta say "fuck it" when faced with (ideally light) snow flurries.
24. A luxurious silk pillow for the ultimate prevention against morning bed head, blowout fading, and skin tugging/premature wrinkles.
25. An Urban Decay Naked Cherry Vault that's just the cherry on top of a great year — but it's time to say "hello" to a perfect look to ring in the new year!
26. A beautiful lilac bluetooth-compatible turntable with three speeds and two 50-watt speakers for ~extra crisp~ sound — cheers to hosting the parties of the century (or just jamming on your own)!
27. A powerful 700-watt juice extractor that cuts through fruits and veggies like buttah without needing a break or excessive cleaning in between uses.
28. A KitchenAid stand mixer for a fail-proof gift — unless the person you have in mind hates baking, flour, and all things joyous.
29. The ever-so-coveted Instant Pot. Another fail-proof gift that's wowed basically the whole Internet with its versatility, convenience, and totally manageable learning curve.
30. Iconic SK-II skincare products like their Facial Treatment Essence and Facial Treatment Masks formulated with 90 percent Pitera, a bio-ingredient (exclusive to them!) rich in vitamins, organic acids, minerals, and amino acids that supports natural skin cell renewal and intense hydration.
31. A cult-favorite, water-resistant down-filled winter coat that will probably last its wearer a lifetime — it's THAT good.
