1.A Fellow Stagg electric pour-over kettle capable of giving minimalists (and nonminimalists alike) heart eyes because it is not only super chic, but it also will help craft the perfect cup of pour-over coffee or tea with its variable temperature control and precision heating.
Amazon
Promising review: “I was skeptical about purchasing this item because most kettles on the market are priced lower than this, but I do have to say: It is worth every freaking penny.This kettle heats up lightning fast to the degree chosen, holds temp, is easy to pour, and it did make the best cup of coffee in my life. Another thing that sets this kettle apart from any other electric kettle really is that it is very very easy to clean! It is worth the investment.” —Allison J.

Free People
Promising review: “I got this jacket not expecting myself to wear it so often because it was very colorful. However, it is my absolute favorite thing to wear when it’s chilly. It’s so cute and such a statement piece. Definitely would recommend to anyone looking for something fun and cozy!” —maszczakh

Get it from Free People for $168 (available in women’s sizes XS—XL and in 13 prints).

The blanket is made from 100% polyester microfiber blend that makes it SUPER soft. It can be washed on cold and tumbled dry on low.
Promising review: “Chrissy Teigen tweeted that she loved this blanket and mentioned that it easily stretches over the shoulders and feet. Let me tell you, it does. I’m only 5’5” so it does the trick. This blanket makes me look forward to going to sleep. It’s not too warm yet you feel wrapped up in a cloud. Totally worth the money. I want another one.” —Michael A. Roman

5.A Wisdom Panel dog DNA kit because it may seem frivolous, but it’s actually super insightful and useful for them to find out exactly what their little mutt is a mix of. Plus, when they get asked 12 times at the dog park, they’ll actually be able to give a straight answer.
Amazon, Abby Kass / BuzzFeed / Via Wisdom
I surprised my parents with a Wisdom Panel two years ago, and while it was a gift I gave t o them, it was kind of a gift for all of us. My parents adopted a puppy fall 2020, and we had no idea what kind of dog she was. All we knew when we brought her home was that her mom had been 38 pounds, and she looked like she was part Lab. Since we didn’t know much about her history, we were interested in learning more about her DNA, and the Wisdom Panel was great for that. It was pretty easy to use, though I will mention that Izzy wasn’t such a fan of us taking the sample. But after we did, we sent it off to the lab, and a few weeks later, got her results back. We learned that our little mutt was actually more German shepherd than she was a Lab, and also six other kinds of dogs. It was so fascinating to read about the different breeds and see how her behavior correlated with each one. It gave us insight into her history that we didn’t have before. I highly recommend Wisdom Panel for anyone who wants to learn more about their pup.

6.A smart wallet with a quick card access mechanism, RFID blocking, and a tracker to keep the valuables they take with them safe and protected, even if they accidentally leave their wallet in an Uber…again.
The wallet fans out cards with a click of a button — making it super easy to grab the card they want in seconds. Plus, the RFID blocking helps protect against skimming, and the tracker makes sure it’s never lost for long.
Promising review: “This is truly a unique and extremely high-quality wallet that takes into account how we really use this everyday necessity. The push-button reveal of credit cards not only makes access easy but keeping the cards fanned till you return them to your wallet makes it almost impossible to forget your card and with the tracker, you won’t leave your Ekster behind either. I’m a wallet freak who’s not easy to please…and I’m in heaven.” —Sam Egan
Shipping info: Standard shipping is free, and orders will arrive in about two to five business days. Priority and express shipping options are available for an additional cost.
Get it from Ekster for $71 (originally $89; available in 10 colors).
7.Bala Bangles ankle weights for your workout-loving friend who wants to give their workout some ~weight~. These’ll help them increase their resistance while staying comfortable and looking so good while doing it. This may be a nice gift that’s been on their wish list for a while now, and they’ll totally appreciate the thoughtfulness when they head out on their morning walk.
Amazon
Promising review: “These work great and easy to use. I love that they aren’t bulky like the previous ones I had. A lot of ankle weights slide and would hit my ankle bone, but I can wear these ones while barefoot for barre and position them high enough and they stay out without me having to constantly adjust them. They were a bit on the pricier end, but it was worth it..” —NCgirl9
Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with two-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon’s full shipping information here).
Get a set of two from Amazon for $55+ (available in two weights and eight colors).
8.A Slip silk pillowcase here to make sleep feel even more like a ~dream~, especially when they wake up without sleep lines or bedhead. (Not to mention their skin looking great too!)
Slip
The pillowcase is made from 100% silk, which is less absorbent than other fibers. This means that all those products they put on their skin and in their hair stay where they belong. Plus, silk reduces friction, causing less pulling on both their hair and skin — leaving both looking and feeling better when they wake up in the morning.
Promising review: “This is an investment, and it is so worth it. I have curly, frizzy hair, and this has been a lifesaver. I actually wake up with my hair looking OK rather than like a clown. The pillowcase is soft and no doubt good for my skin. You do have to hand-wash it, which isn’t too difficult, and it dries super quick, too.” —Peanut13

9.A pair of Ugg Classic Ultra Mini Boots TikTok caused to sell out last year, and I won’t be surprised if it happened again this year. Your uberstylish friend will so appreciate this gift of chic (and warm) shoes.
Promising review: “Love, love, love this boot. So comfy. Like kisses on my feet. And the low cut I can wear with my skinny jeans without having to tuck them in.” —Janine Thomas

10.A pair of Sony overhead headphones that left reviewers raving that these are some of the best headphones they’ve ever used. The 30-hour battery life, quick charging, touch sensors controls, speak-to-chat technology, and more features take these the extra mile and make them one stellar gift.
Amazon
Promising review: “I’ve never thought high-priced headphones were worth the price compared to cheaper ones, but I’ll make an exception for these. The sound and microphone quality are great as you would expect. It’s nice not having a microphone hanging in front of my face. The noise cancellation also works well. I like the freedom of being able to move away from the computer without having to deal with a cord or having to take the headphones off. And I really love that taking the headphones off pauses the music. It seems minor, but what a convenience that is. They are comfortable for me to wear for a full workday without any fatigue or ear pain.” —C. J. Cone
Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with two-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon’s full shipping information here).
Get it from Amazon for $398 (available in black and white).
11.A breathtakingly beautiful cashmere coat so timeless they’ll wear it all winter long (and next winter, and the winter after that) because it will keep them stylish and warm.
Reclaim
Reclaim is a woman-owned business creating slow-fashion staples. The pieces are ethically made in Florence, Italy. This coat is a blend of 30% organic cashmere and 70% merino wool. It’s dry-clean only.

Shipping info: Shipping is free and should arrive in five to seven business days. Expedited shipping options are not available.
Get it from Reclaim for $375 (available in women’s sizes XS–L)
12.A smart-toaster that’ll make them feel like they’re living in the year 3000. Sure, they might not be living underwater, but they will have more than 60 settings on the touchscreen to choose from to toast their bread, English muffins, Pop-Tarts and more to the exact level they desire.
There’s also a countdown clock that will alert you when your toast is almost ready! I actually got to try this toaster and shared it with my parents who were in desperate need for a new toaster. Every time I’m at their house, I end up using it because it’s so great. The touchscreen is super easy to use. You select what color brown you want you toast, and in no time, it’s ready to go. I love how their are so many different options because all breads do not toast equally!!
BuzzFeed writer Rachel Dube also owns this gadget and says: “What’s not to *loveabout a functional appliance? It’s meant to perfectly heat each individual item, thanks to the fact that it adjusts to their shape. When I used to use my old toaster, I would have to play around with the temperature *andkeep an eye on it the entire time. This lets me just walk away and will pop out the food when it’s done the way I selected on the screen.” Read her full review of the Revolution Cooking Smart-Toaster here.
Promising review: “Of course, TikTok made me buy it! LOL! But seriously, it looks great in my newly remodeled kitchen and really cooks/toasts/warms up my breads, waffles, and bagels perfectly and evenly! I’ve had some really cheap toasters in my time and have always been disappointed with the uneven toasting because one of the elements within the toaster burnt out, etc. This toaster is super smart, and you can clearly see when your food is about to be done. There’s three settings (warm, fresh, frozen) options for toasting so you’re food is always cooked to perfection! The animated circle around on display when cooking lets you know know how far along your food is to being done. An audible sound plays when it’s done so you don’t have to keep watching it. When you’re not using the toaster, the time displays. Where I have it in my kitchen, it’s nice to have the time on that side of the room without having to turn around and look at my oven. The aesthetics are very nice and complimentary since all my appliances are stainless steel. It gives my kitchen this extra zhoosh up the place! I’ve been using it now for several months and have no complaints!” —ADR
Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with two-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon’s full shipping information here).
13.A Dagne Dover duffel bag made out of neoprene and mesh for a super soft bag they’ll be able to fit SO much stuff in that they’ll never travel without it again.
I’ve had this duffle for years now, and it’s one of my favorite things I own. I’m not exaggerating when I say it is the PERFECT carry-on bag. The neoprene fabric makes it so it can fit so much and slide perfectly under the seat in front of you. The pockets inside make sure everything has a place and stays organized. And one of the coolest features is the small outside pocket that fits your phone perfectly. It’s also a great bag for a weekend trip as a duffle. I let my mom borrow mine when she traveled across Europe a couple of months ago, and now I have to get her own for Christmas because she’s joined the #TeamDagneDover travel team.
For Nordstrom: Nordstrom offers free shipping on all orders — and in-stock items should arrive three to eight business days after the order is placed. If you need it faster, you can select expedited shipping.
14.A Bearaby knitted velvet weighted blanket constructed from upcycled eco-velvet, so it’s a more sustainable way to help the recipient feel less anxious and get deeper sleep. Plus, it will look so beautiful on their bed or couch when not in use.
Bearaby
Bearaby is a woman-founded business creating beautiful weighted blankets made from sustainable materials. This blanket is made from recycled marine plastic. Each velvet napper keeps 900 plastic bottles from polluting the oceans.
Promising review: “I was reluctant to purchase this napper because of the price. But I decided to treat myself, and I am so happy I did. I LOVE the way it hugs my body and gives me a feeling of comfort. I also like the airflow and chunky-knit fabric/design, which is different from others I have seen. It’s not only functional but also decorative. The guide was helpful in recommending the correct weight, and I honestly sleep better with this napper! I highly recommend it! ” —Elise W.

—A+ High-Dose Retinol Serum
—Saturn Sulfur Acne Treatment Mask
Promising review: “This set is filled with great products. I’ve been using it for a week or two and I am enjoying all the products. My pores look smaller and my skin looks smoother with fewer breakouts. Nice value as well, these will likely last a while.” —katd15

18.An acrylic Squatty Potty anyone ~clearly~ needs, because it not only works just as well as the regular version, but it also will actually be a beautiful addition to whatever bathroom it’s in.
Amazon
Promising review: “I had this in my ‘saved for later’ cart for over a year, unable to pull the trigger on paying $70 for a squatty potty when I had a perfectly good $30 one in my bathroom…… but it’s so pretty! I finally just threw down the money and wish I’d done it sooner. My husband is probably happiest about the purchase because the clear acrylic just sort of blends into the floor, and you don’t really notice that it’s there. My husband has always been mortified by the squatty potty and moves it any time we have company coming over. Now he can relax. I only gave 4 stars for comfort because it’s slimmer than my original one, and my feet don’t fit quite as comfortably. However, the stylish low profile look and functionality make up for what small reduction in comfort exists.” —Kristen V
Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with 2-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon’s full shipping information here).
Get it from Amazon for $79.99 (also available in a frosted style).

Get it from Amazon for $129+ (available in two styles).
20.An adjustable standing desk for the person on your list who has fully embraced the WFH life. This baby is well worth it. Not only can they customize the height (and move it up and down during the day as they please), but it can hold up to 275 pounds, is water and scratch-resistant, and has an included cable tray to keep your desk free and clear of cords.
FlexiSpot
I am actually writing this post while using this desk, and I can confirm it is SO worth it. I just moved into a new apartment and wanted an actual workspace after working from home for almost two years at this point. The desk itself is a good size — I can fit my laptop in the middle as well as other things on either side. And the adjustable part is super handy. It moves up and down smoothly and helps me not sit for too long. I highly recommend this as a gift for anyone who will be working from home for the foreseeable future.
Promising review: “I love this desk! The motors are super quiet, and it moves up and down smoothly. The tabletop (bamboo) seems very solid and durable. The base also feels solid and is heavy so it seems like it will last. I also love that you can program four custom heights that you choose and just touch a button and it goes to that height. Great desk! I recommend FlexiSpot and Kana Pro bamboo desk for sure!” —Zach

Lululemon
Promising review: “TikTok wasn’t joking when they were hyping this up. I’ve wanted a scuba for years, and a cropped version PLUS a half zip was too good to pass up. I am so excited to wear this! It’s so soft, cute, and baggy, which I am a fan of. I love me a comfy hoodie in the cold winter months. So excited to put this to use!” —macefaceee

Ember
They can remotely adjust the temperature to get it just right (using an app), and they can also select a personalized LED color.
Promising review: “What’s not to like! I received this as a gift and would not normally ever even think of paying $100 for a coffee temperature maintenance system like this, and I’ve tried them all, but after using it for one day, I would pay double for this! As a matter of fact, I’m going to pay $20 more and buy the larger 14-oz mug! All I can say is, I LOVE THIS THING!” —Amazon Customer

Rachel Dunkel / BuzzFeed
BuzzFeed Shopping writer Rachel Dunkel says, “Random canvas totes may come and go, but nothing beats having a permanent, go-to bag. I’ve had this since college when I used it to carry my heavy load of books, my laptop, and other English major paraphernalia, but it’s transitioned flawlessly into my adult life where — OK — I still use it to carry books and my computer. The leather is getting a lovely patina and the structure of the bag is as strong as the day I got it. It has one zippered interior pocket which is perfect for keys, cards, or any other tiny necessities. I received this as a gift, so I can confirm that it makes a good one!“

Hannah Loewentheil / BuzzFeed
After you fill up the machine with alcohol (which is not included), all you have to do is insert a cocktail capsule, choose your preferred strength, and press mix. Plus, it automatically cleans itself after each cocktail and has dishwasher-safe parts for easy care.
Promising reviews: “My entire family and I are extremely satisfied with the Bartesian cocktail machine. I bought this late November but could not provide a review as this was a family Christmas gift. When it was finally unwrapped and opened up, everyone was surprised, excited, and wanted a drink. With six adults in the family, we all had our favorite. I bought six different cocktail mixes (cosmopolitan, whisky sour, sex on the beach, rum breeze, uptown rocks, and Long Island iced tea). We tried them all, and every cocktail turned out fantastic!! I would recommend this machine to anyone who enjoys quality cocktails.” —Doug

Fable
Fable is a NYC-based, family-owned biz that creates pet gear made to solve problems.
Former BuzzFeed Shopping editor Bek O’Connell says: “This leash is such a lifesaver. My dog is very anxious and has a tendency to bolt. I’m talking 0 to 100, dead sprint. I was so scared that he would catch me off guard and the leash would fly out of my hands. Being able to loop this over my head (I wear it cross-body) has given me total peace of mind. Best of all, I can have both hands free while navigating various walking obstacles. The ease of being able to dig around in your bag while keeping your dog attached to your hip is truly priceless. Bonus: It comes in colors your dog can actually see.”

But no more: this dryer’s temp stays even throughout the entire blow-dry. Also saves my wrist by being lightweight. Highly recommended to everyone, well worth it!” —Angiestylist

The blanket comes with cables to charge it in either a car or home, plus two USB ports.
Promising review: “This product is AMAZING!!!! It not only keeps you warm, but it is water-resistant, so when you are sitting at your kid’s soccer game in the freezing rain you are warm AND dry! It stays charged for A LONG time, and I love that I can charge my phone using the battery pack! I work from home and my office is in the basement, so I am cold year-round. This is perfect to wrap up in on super-cold days or just drape over my legs if I’m just a little chilly. If I get up, my dog immediately steals it LOL! Where have you been all my life Cozee?!?! I could say a million great things about it! Just buy one and find out for yourself.” —RKey

32.A heatable foot massager featuring five adjustable air pressure setting and the option to add heat because the giftee deserves some R&R all year long, but especially during the holiday season.
Promising review: “I am a professional massage therapist and bought this product for my wife as a gift, and she absolutely loves it. Next to a personal touch, this massager is the next best thing. It comes with a timer for 15 minutes. At the end of the treatment, not only are your feet relaxed, but the body is too. It hits all the meridian trigger points in the feet to work the whole body systematically. I highly recommend this product, especially for the price. It is well put together and a must-have for our house.” —winddancer76

33.A Le Creuset Dutch oven that provides great heat distribution and retention to make cooking so much easier. Dinner has never tasted (and looked) so good.
Amazon
Promising review: “What can I say, I’ve had my pot a little over a week, and I have used it almost daily. The 5.5-quart is the perfect size for my family of five. It’s an adventure finding recipes to fix and am confident that this will become a family heirloom. I made the best spaghetti and meatballs with very little, effortless cleanup which never happened with my old, cheap Dutch oven. It’s well worth the cost for this beautiful pot.” —Helenj

36.A Bandolier phone case with a wallet and a strap for a phone accessory they’ll find so useful because they can keep track of their phone and leave the house without needing a big tote or purse.
Amazon, Abby Kass / BuzzFeed
I’ve been using this brand’s phone cases for almost two years now and whole heartily swear by them. The phone case itself is super nice and has a convenient pocket on the back where you can keep credit cards, IDs, etc. It’s super easy to get the strap on and off, and I’ve basically been using it as my purse over the past six months because I don’t need much else when I leave the house. I got the first one as a sample, but have returned to purchase a new one when I upgraded my phone last year. I get compliments on this case ALL the time. It looks super chic and is so very useful, which is precisely why it makes a great gift.
Promising review: “I’m obsessed with my Bandolier. It’s so useful having my phone and Metro Card so accessible so I don’t have to dig through my bags. I feel comfortable wearing it, and I love the hands-free aspect. I never worry about someone stealing it, and I don’t go anywhere without it!!!” —Lo

37.A mat about to change your workout bestie’s whole fitness game — it’s designed to fold in fourths so they don’t have to deal with rolling their mat at all, either during their workout or after when it’s time to put it away.
Single
I first came across this mat while scrolling TikTok and thought it was such a cool idea. Ever since I saw it, it has been on my wishlist. Rolling up a yoga mat can be so challenging sometimes, especially when you’re in the middle of the workout and need some extra support on your wrist while in plank. This mat folds up in fourths, so you can give your knees or hands some extra padding. Plus, it’s way easier to store flat. It’s also two times thicker than the average yoga mat.

39.A super sleek Beast blender + hydration system they won’t mind cluttering up their precious kitchen counter space because it looks so cool. And to make this gift even better, this blender has both beauty *andbrains. It’s super quiet and only takes one minute to blend smoothies to perfection. It can also ~whip~ up sauces and even infuse water or other liquids. How neat is that?!?
Beast Health
Promising review: “This has been a lifesaver in our house! My family was ready to divorce me over the noise created by our last blender, which we put up with for the past two years. I’m sure even my neighbors were awakened every morning when I turned it on! I had to cycle through it twice to get everything blended properly. Never did I think you could find a quieter option that would perform better. The Beast is a game changer! It is so quiet I can blend in the early mornings w/o fear of waking anyone else, and it cycles through once with blended smoothie perfection. It is so easy to use and clean and looks quite sleek on our counter. I love the smaller cup for making salsa and pesto. And, the hydration system is lovely. I have only one complaint: Wish they would have included to lids with carry handles so I could bring both with me to work and drink from them, but still give this 5 stars! LOVE IT!!!!! Don’t hesitate, you will love it too!!!!!” —Cmarvy

40.A towel warmer, because they’ll never feel fancier than when they step out of the warm shower in winter and avoid freezing by wrapping themselves in a warm towel that feels like a big hug. Ahhhh!
Amazon
It fits about two towels (or even a towel and a robe or other fabric items) and has a 15-minute adjustable timer.
Promising review: “I bought one for myself, then bought several others as presents because it’s so nice. It’s fairly small a nd easy to find space for even in a small bathroom but is also big enough to hold two large towels at a time. There are a few small things to watch for: occasionally the on button takes a bit of finagling to work; it takes about eight minutes to hit ‘maximum’ towel warmth; if the lid is askew/not fully on the towel loses a lot of heat; there’s a bit of a plastic odor that goes away after the first few uses. But if you’re aware of those things it’s super luxurious and worth every penny, having a super-warm towel waiting for you counters all the misery of having to leave the shower in the winter. It also makes a great present, it’s the kind of luxury item people don’t normally think to get for themselves but makes life so much better. Anybody who says you can’t buy happiness obviously hasn’t bought a towel warmer.” —Heather

Luyna
Promising review: “Best. Set. Ever. I literally want in every color. This set is the perfect sleepwear set. It’s sexy. It’s luxe. It feels good on — or like you’re wearing nothing at all. Every modern person deserves, at the very least, one Lunya set.” —Cortney B.

BuzzFeed editor Melanie Aman says: “Exercising has been a huge boost to my mental health during quarantine, but the DOMS man — the DOMS hurt like hell!! I’m talking hurts to walk, hurts to lower myself and sit, hurts to stand up, hurts to lift things heavier than a stuffed animal, hurts to exist. I learned early on that this little gadget was suuuuuuuuper helpful in reducing my discomfort and loosening my tight, angry muscles. While jackhammering my calves and thighs is not an incredibly fun experience (TBH it hurts especially when I’m massaging already sore muscles), I know the next day I’ll wake up with significantly less pain.”

44.A Bose portable speaker so they they can take with them (even if it’s just to the other room) because the good tunes don’t have to stop.
Amazon
Promising review: “You wouldn’t ever think you needed a ‘portable’ speaker in you home, but once you try it, you’ll love it. This speaker is one of three Bose speakers that we use for a great music experience, and the great thing about this speaker is you grab the handle, unplug it, and bring it to wherever you want. Additionally, I love Alexa on the Bose speakers. It’s very easy to set up and use and I’m happy with the functionality of it.” —theAKDeezy

46.A Skylight Frame digital frame guaranteed to bring a smile to their face as it rotates through all the pictures. Plus, you can give your family the email address to send photos directly to the frame so the recipient can see updates on how much those cute grandkids are growing every day (granddogs count too!).
Abby Kass / BuzzFeed
I actually got this frame for my dad a few years ago for Christmas and then again for Fathers Day this year after it accidentally fell and broke (no fault of its own). My dad LOVES taking pictures (like used to keep albums and albums before photos were digital), so I thought this would be great for him. It was super easy to set up and connects to Wi-Fi. It then comes with an email address where you can send the photos you want it to rotate through. My parents keep it running all the time. It’s a nice way to actually see all the photos you have without them taking up all the walls in your home.
