Hey! While we’re doing our best to make sure the products we feature will arrive in time for Christmas, shipping times are especially tricky this year and can vary depending on where you live, which product you purchase, and more. Shop early and be sure to double check the retailers’ websites for shipping information to ensure that your gift will arrive in time for the 25th!
1. An acupressure back-and-body massager so they can get relief for the tension in their back (and shoulders, and feet, and legs) ~on demand~. It's designed with a curve to give the person using it leverage so they won't have to do a lot of work to get the pressure they need.
2. Pop-up cards that don't just say just the right thing — they're basically a little gift in and of themselves.
3. An 84-piece Qubits construction set perfect for any aspiring engineers, because it doesn't have instructions or anything they're "supposed" to build — so they can completely experiment and use their ~imagination~.
4. An infinitely-reusable silicone zip bag that'll help them use less plastic every day, and could save hundreds (if not thousands!) of single-use plastic bags from ending up in the trash.
5. A few fun colors of lipstick from The Lip Bar, because besides coming in a bunch of gorgeous shades, the formula is packed with shea butter, coconut oil, avocado oil, and vitamin E to make sure their pout never dries out.
6. A set of two miniature spatulas to stuff an aspiring makeup-artist's stocking, because they make it easy to use each and every drop of primer, foundation, and other products.
7. The Comfy, a reversible blanket-slash-sweatshirt that's perfect for pretty much anyone who likes to lounge around under a blanket, but wishes the blanket followed them everywhere they went.
8. The Squatty Potty toilet stool (yup!) because A) it'll be hilarious when they unwrap it and B) it really does align everything in a natural way to make pooping easier and faster.
9. A racheting leather belt — instead of having holes every inch or so, it adjusts to precisely fit their waist every single time they put it on.
10. A snug-fit undershirt for anyone who's self-conscious about their sweat because it has built-in padding that soaks up sweat before it has even a chance of forming a ring on dress shirts.
11. A set of seat gap fillers so *you* can be the one that saves them from the frustration of dropping their phone down the crack of no return for the umpteenth time — or from their teenager accidentally losing a few pieces of popcorn leftover from a movie, never to be recovered.
12. A whole-grain, protein-packed pancake and waffle mix that you can either bake for everyone *or* neatly wrap for your friend who's really into exercising but also loves to bake, because it works as a substitute for flour.
13. A handy gift wrap cutter so they can get perfectly straight lines every time, and *so much* faster than with scissors. The open cylinder slides over the roll of paper, with a sharp blade that cuts precisely where the paper comes off the roll.
14. Some high-fidelity, nearly invisible earplugs designed to cut down on the decibels during all their favorite (outdoor, socially distanced) concerts and events so their hearing stays protected without completely muffling the music's clarity and sound quality.
15. A pair (or two or three) of Bombas Socks because just like all your podcast hosts swear, they're incredibly comfortable, fit really well, and are overall simply high quality.
16. A Sleep Pod, if they love the idea of a weighted blanket (or of being cuddled all night long) but know they'll get too hot. This is made of thin, stretchy fabric that's about the weight of a sheet, but still snuggles you all night long — I know, because I've used one!
17. The Burro Buddy, which attaches to their wheelbarrow so they can garden to their hearts content with the help of dedicated spots for their water bottle, tools big and small, sunglasses, phone, and whatever else they want to tote around the yard.
18. A UV phone sanitizer because it can help annihilate a bunch of (bacteria) germies every night, even if it doesn't get rid of all the smears of grease on their screen.
19. A few packs of NeuroMints, which combine caffeine with l-theanine and vitamin B to give them a quick boost of energy that'll help carry them through the rest of their workday, workout, or whatever their day brings.
20. A Monkey Mat — it folds up into an ultra compact pouch attached to the blanket, so it's ready anytime you need a sheet to sit on. Oh, and it's made of durable lightweight rip-stop nylon, so you can simply shake any spills, grass, sand, and dirt right off the moment they happen (and...they will happen).
21. A set of two magnetic glasses holders so your dad will finally always know exactly where he left his reading glasses.
22. A silicone Frywall for the home chef who loves trying new recipes but detests the necessary cleanup afterward — they'll be able to easily cook all kinds of food in oil without coating the entire stovetop.
23. A ~water enhancer~ that says it optimizes the water (with certain minerals) for brewing the tastiest cup of coffee possible, no matter how they brew their morning cup.
24. A silicone wedding band so your S.O. can leave their ring someplace safe while they do whatever, whether they're a busy mom, a mountain climber, a cross-fitter, a nurse, or just want a super comfy everyday ring.
25. A pack of fizzy cleaning tablets for your friend who's always carrying around a giant metal water bottle or coffee mug.
26. A pupper costume so your bestest furry friend in the whole world can try what it's like to be a panda, lion, bear, or bunny for once in their lives.
27. The HoodiePillow, aka a memory foam neck pillow with a hoodie attached because sometimes it's easier to doze off on an airplane or bus — in the future when traveling is safe again, of course — if they can just block out the rest of the world.
28. A subscription to BootayBag, which will mail 'em a fresh pair of cute undies every month for 6 or 12 months (depending on the package you choose) and give them a little something fun to look forward to even after the holiday season's long over.
29. Some Joe's Gourmet Fish Fry breading mix so they (or you, cooking for them) can make an incredibly flavorful feast that contains less salt and absorbs less oil than other fry mixes. And yes, you can use it to fry chicken, green tomatoes, vegetables, and all kinds of other goodies too — AND it works in air fryers!!
31. A bottle emptying kit because it will let them get every last drop out of their favorite shampoos, lotions, and even food products like honey or that gourmet salad dressing they're always talking about.
32. The Safety Nailer to give them the courage to actually use a nail and hammer. It has magnets to hold the nail or screw in place, two elastic loops to make the gadget easy for them to hold, and of course the plastic shielding to protect their fingers.
33. A tube of Nerdwax that'll keep their glasses firmly in place on their face, so they can stop pushing them up every time they slip a little.
