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.
Finally, a list of presents they’ll love and *actually* use.
1.
A breakfast sandwich maker so they can skip the drive-thru wait time and create sandwiches that could put the Egg McMuffin to shame in five minutes or less.
amazon.com, amazon.com
And it’s super easy to clean up — just remove the parts and place them in the dishwasher!
Promising review: “Single best appliance I own. My boyfriend sent me this sort of as a joke; we both thought it was both ridiculous and brilliant to have a McMuffin maker in your house. And then I tried cooking with it for the first time. Holy crap, it’s AMAZING. I ended up using frozen waffles for the bread; you have to trim them just a tad, but they are the perfect amount of crispy. I love experimenting with this, and have built some truly amazing sandwiches. Waffles, eggs, avocado, Swiss, and ham. Waffles, egg, corn salsa, jack cheese. If you can fit it into the rounds, you can make a sandwich with it. The panel under the egg slides out easily and cleanly when the egg is cooked (I find four minutes is perfect for cooked eggs with runny yolks), and the whole middle section can simply be tossed in the dishwasher.” —Elizabeth Joy Weaver
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in six colors).
2. A Trtl neck pillow with soft fleece support that might actually make a restful nap on a plane possible for them. Its ergonomic design keeps their head from nodding back and forth to help avoid aches and strains. Plus, it’s a lot more stylish than a bulky neck pillow!
Unlike the regular U-shaped pillows, Trtl Pillows are machine-washable and fast-drying.
Check it out on TikTok here.Â
Ciera: I’ve used this for the past few years and swear by it! Before this, I always found traditional neck pillows uncomfortable and would end up ditching them halfway through the flight and getting frustrated. The Trtl pillow is adjustable — you wrap the pillow around your neck and secure it with Velcro, and if you find it’s too loose, just make it a bit tighter! I’ve truly never slept better on a plane than with this pillow.
Promising review: “Used it for a 14-hour flight to Japan last week, and it helped tremendously. This was the first time I was able to sleep on the plane so this helped tremendously. Definitely a must-have for travel. It is very light so I was able to easily pack it in my under-the-seat wheeled trolley. I want to emphasize how much the light warmth of the fleece (and I don’t like being hot) was just right to help me nod off to sleep. Since this is primarily for sitting upright in the seat or someone in the middle or the aisle seat, this was ideal for me. I just got back yesterday. Again I used it — this time for a 12-hour flight.” —Ambience
Get it from Amazon for $64.99 (available in five colors).
3.
A splurge-worthy Always Pan, which is a sleek, BuzzFeed-beloved tool that’ll help them tap into their biggest culinary dreams. This 8-in-1 nonstick pan is designed to help them braise, sear, steam, strain, sauté, fry, boil, serve, and store like a pro. Plus! It comes in many gorgeous colors. As Chef Gusteau says, “Anyone can cook!”
Maitland Quitmeyer / BuzzFeed, Our Place
Promising review: “This is the best pan I have ever cooked with. The surface allows me to control the amount of olive oil used, the dome lid design is great for faster cooking without turning up the heat, and the pan itself is so beautiful I leave it out on my stovetop as decoration.” —Cheryl M.
Get it from Amazon (available in three sizes and six colors) or from Our Place (available in three sizes and nine colors) for $120+.

4. A facial applicator brush — this little stocking stuffer will make their self-care Sunday even more enjoyable because they’ll no longer have to end up with messy hands after applying their fave face mask.Promising review: “I absolutely love these. I’ve been using them for months now and they make applying masks so much easier. I get a much more even application than I did with my hands or with other brushes. Extremely easy to use, clean, and store. Love love love!” —Caterina
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $5.38.
5. A bathtub caddy because, in this scenario, multitasking is a luxury. They can use it to hold their tablet or favorite book, their third glass of wine, and a bowl of cherries that they can make their S.O. feed them while they soak with cucumbers on their eyes. Ahh, yes…this is the life.
Promising review: “I didn’t take baths for the longest time because I found it inconvenient and couldn’t relax. The few times I took a bath in this tub prior to getting a bath tray, I would put my iPad on the toilet a few feet away out of arm’s reach. Needless to say I’d be getting up every so often to adjust the volume, change the show, etc. I am so happy I ordered this! I can put my iPad or a book against the metal rest, have a drink, put my phone in the phone holder, and put some decorative candles in the sides. I am now a bath lover and would recommend this product to anyone looking to step up their bath or relaxation routine. I can now relax in the tub and multitask easily! My cat even jumped up on the bath tray while I was in the tub and it was completely sturdy. I’ve bought this as a gift for both my mom and boyfriend’s mom because I love this product so much!” —Sierra Ritchie-Gruver
Get it from Amazon for $39.97+ (available in 10 colors/styles).
6. A book embosser perfect for any of your nerdy bookworm friends because it’s a very *pretty* way of ensuring their favorite novels get back to them when loaning them out (especially their Jane Austens!).
To use, just press down on one of the first few pages of the book, and it’ll leave little grooves in the design of the personalized embosser. It’s like a stamp but without ink!
Promising review: “My friend absolutely loved this gift! It’s completely customizable so although I kept the design mostly the same. I made my friends name lowercase because she likes the aesthetic of that and it turned out great! Their customer service is also so fast and easy to use, they answered me very quickly with a response that answered my question! The embosser itself it’s beautifully made and works great! I love the way it stores the stamp within the stamper and comes with a nice caring case.” —Arabella
Get it from Amazon for $34.50+ (available in 10 personalized styles).
7. A chic portable canvas cup holder because it’ll let them order their fave iced coffee drink without needing to freeze their hands off in the cold weather. This helpful little thing also lets them easily carry their Starbucks with them while they answer work emails on their phone and *most importantly* look at the latest TikTok you just sent them.
Emma Lord/BuzzFeed
VIS Paradise Goods is a Florida-based Etsy stop established in 2021 that specializes in personalized and sustainable goods.Â
Here’s what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says about it: “I love it for the convenience of texting on the go! These even have a holder for a straw if you happen to get iced coffee or bubble tea and don’t want to stick the straw into the drink just yet. I’ve found this to be very sturdy and easy to use, plus they’re a fun conversation starter — people always want to know where I got it!Â
Promising review: “This is perfect! I constantly have my hands full and now I can comfortably carry my coffee with me everywhere I go. I will be purchasing more!” —Erin

8.
Claw clips that even your friend with the thickest, longest locks will appreciate because they’ll keep their hair out of their face whether they’re running errands or just lounging at home.
Amazon, amazon.com
Promising review: “My hair is thin, but I have a lot of it and it’s so hard to get it off my neck and have a secure hold for the day. These clips are perfect! I can gather all my hair in one clip and it holds all day. No damage and no scalp pain. Love the different colors.” —Liz B.
Get a pack of eight clips from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in eight color sets).
9. An itty-bitty Theragun Mini your gym-loving friends will appreciate because it’s designed to give any achy or sore muscles some glorious relief and help them recover faster so they can get back to the squatting rack and beating their PR.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Melanie Aman loves her Theragun Mini for post-workout relief: “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.”
Get it from Amazon for $189+ (available in four colors).
10. An Instant Pot — careful, this seven-in-one kitchen gadget might just steal the “bestie” title away from you. It acts as a slow cooker, pressure cooker, rice cooker, steamer, yogurt maker, warmer, *and* they can sauté in it. So basically, you’d be gifting them their own private chef (which undeniably makes you the best gift-giver ever). Amazon
Promising review: “I love my Instant Pot. I own a traditional pressure cooker that I rarely used because I felt like I need to constantly watch it, so I was reluctant to invest in an Instant Pot. I am so glad I did. I have used it at least twice a week since I bought it and sometimes three or four times. I have done everything from cook hard-boiled eggs, cook ribs, to bake a cheesecake. I almost never use my other slower cooker because I can brown meat right in the Instant Pot and use the slow cooker setting. My most used accessories are the steamer basket ($26.11), springform pan ($16.22), extra liner ($24.99), and extra sealing ring ($9.95). The least used is the hard boiled egg steamer rack ($19.33; the steamer basket holds a lot more and is easier to use). If my Instant Pot died tomorrow, I would feel certain that I had more than gotten my money’s worth and immediately buy another.” —mickey
Get the 3 qt. version from Amazon for $79.95.
11.
Nine pairs of soft knit socks ranging in various beautiful colors so they can pair them with any outfit! They’ll love wearing them with their favorite ankle boots or loafers to really give their OOTD that final aesthetic touch.
amazon.com
Promising review: “Love the color palette, real cool knit pattern. Also long enough to get that ‘scrunched-up’ look when paired with boots!” —Olivia T.Â
Get nine pairs from Amazon for $19.99.
12.
A W&P Porter ceramic mug with a silicone sleeve and an extra secure lid that’ll keep all that delicious latte inside, even on a bumpy ride while they rush to work in the morning. Plus, it serves as a super aesthetically pleasing way for them to enjoy their morning cup of joe.
Amazon
Promising review: “I love this portable ceramic mug! It’s comfortable and cozy to hold because of the rubber lining that surrounds three-quarters of the ceramic. I like that the rubber also covers the bottom of the mug so that I can set it down on my desk without making a sound, but it’s so nice to be able to sip from the ceramic at the top (if you take the lid off) because it feels like you’re using a regular coffee mug (rather than a travel mug). It’s incredibly convenient to be able to microwave it when you want to reheat your drink. All around I think it’s worth the price.” —elizabeth
Get it from Amazon for $19.89+ (available in two sizes and 10 colors).
13.
A machine-washable, purposely oversized blanket that they’ll probably be trading their traditional comforter and top sheet for. It works beautifully for both hot *and* cold sleepers, and is made of lightweight, breathable cotton to avoid those dreadful night sweats!
Amazon
Promising review: “It’s super soft after wash as expected. I got the checkered brown queen size and it very well made and gave a stunning luxurious look and feel. It’s breathable and lightweight too. And it’s warm enough to make you feel covered. I did try an order brand and felt colder when having it on compared to not having a blanket. Would definitely buy again when needed and also add to my gift list.” —Linh
Get it from Amazon for $26.89+ (available in five sizes and 17 colors).
14.
Gold eye treatment masks that’ll hydrate and brighten their skin thanks to its red algae extract, grape seed extract, rosehip oil, and hyaluronic acid. It’s perfect for your friend who’s always on the hunt for the next beauty product to fall in love with. When they go on their next Netflix re-watch marathon, they can throw these on to help with puffiness and dark circles so they avoid looking like a Tim Burton character the next day!
Jasmin Sandal/BuzzFeed
BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Jasmin Sandal loves this! Here’s her rave review: “I decided to put these golden gems to the test after coming off of a red-eye flight with practically no sleep. After cooling them off in the fridge (which is what was suggested on the packet), I applied them to my purpley, puffy eyes, and…w-o-w. Not only did I feel like I was receiving some kind of royal treatment (because, gold), but after 20 minutes, my under-eyes appeared brighter and any fine lines that were once lingering had vanished! After wearing these I didn’t feel compelled to apply concealer either, which is usually my go-to to disguise dark circles — and I even felt confident enough to go bare-faced for the rest of the day. Now I find that I integrate these into my routine anytime I want to let my skin breathe free of makeup.”

The Wand, which anyone who enjoys an evening glass of red wine will appreciate because it gives them all the flavor *without* that dreaded headache in the morning. All they gotta do is swirl this wand (which contains a histamine and sulfite filter) in their wine for 20 seconds, and voila. No more wine hangovers!
Amazon
Read more about sulfite allergies and wine at Cleveland Clinic.Â
Promising review: “OMG!!!! This works. I love wine, but have terrible allergies to the histamines, sulfites, and preservatives in wine. I actually use one wand for two glasses of wine. I was very skeptical, but it works like a dream! Thank you, PureWine. This is really a breakthrough for me.” —Penny Froh
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $11.99+Â (available in five quantities).
16.
A faux-shearling moto jacket so they can easily add a touch of classic chic to any OOTD, even on those extra chilly nights! I’m pretty sure they could throw this on over a onesie and make it fashionable. The best part? The quality makes it look much more expensive than it actually is (but that can be our little secret).
Amazon, amazon.com
Promising review: “This jacket is amazing. It looks expensive. It is extremely comfortable and warm, yet not too hot. Seriously, I wore it in 60-degree weather and was not too hot. I wore it in -5-degree weather, yes that’s right, and I was comfortable. I wore it in my house and I didn’t over heat. There’s something about the material. The lining does not shed or flatten and does not look chintzy. It’s thick and spongey like real shearling. It doesn’t really attract lint or hair or anything either. I just can’t say enough about this.” —Huesitos
Get it from Amazon for $69.99 (available in women’s sizes S–XL and 10 colors).
17.
A bottle of Mike’s Hot Honey — seriously, this must be what had Winnie the Pooh in a chokehold. They can add it to their favorite dishes (like pizza, wings, and tacos!) for that beautifully balanced “hint of sweet with a kick of spice” flavor.
Rebecca O’Connell / BuzzFeed
Promising review: “I love honey, I love hot sauce, how I did not learn about this magical concoction before now is beyond me. While perusing several ‘what to get the dad who has everything for Father’s Day’ posts, this hot honey was one of a handful of items on almost every list. Tastes like honey, but spicy, it’s damn good stuff.” —TheFlyingTosher
Get it from Amazon for $13.49Â (also available in packs of two).

A heated razor for that one family member with an extra appreciation for ~fanciness~. The adjustable heat will give them a nice, warm sensation as they shave on a chilly winter morning. And bonus! It’s got wireless charging and it’ll look *super* elegant on their bathroom counter.
Amazon
This kit includes the handle, two razor blade refills, and the charging dock.
Promising review: “This is an excellent product, and I’m especially impressed with its heat function. This razor has two heat settings, high and low-temperature modes, and my personal favorite is the low-temperature setting. The low-temperature mode is just the right temperature without overheating, bringing a cozy and warm experience when shaving — like a hot towel on your face, perfect for a wakeful morning shave. This feature not only enhances the comfort of shaving but also reduces the feeling of skin irritation. This razor is recommended for a comfortable and refined shaving experience.” —Lin!!!
Get it from Amazon for $141.88Â (also available as a travel kit).

A sleek makeup organizer if their addiction to beauty products is becoming a little too much for their bathroom counter to handle. With this, they’ll be able to hoard all the creams, serums, and makeup products they desire while maintaining a tidy, organized counter.
Amazon
Promising review: “Finally found exactly what I was looking for. After trying countless makeup storage options, this is the holy grail. Keeps all your items dust free and stored without it looking cluttered. I have a number of makeup subscriptions and get a lot of face creams and primers. This holds all my daily items of all sizes and shapes. Worth every penny.” —MelissaÂ
Get it from Amazon for $44.99+ (available in two sizes and seven colors).Â

A Dash mini waffle maker if you’ve been looking for a white elephant or Secret Santa gift that they’ll *actually* use — they’ll simply adore this for a quick at-home brunch! It heats up in minutes and has dual nonstick surfaces, so cleanup is a breeze. They can even use it for hash browns, paninis, cookies, and *drum roll*…pizza!
Alexandra Napoli / BuzzFeed
This waffle maker heats up super quickly, is designed with nonstick pans, and is fairly no-frills: Just plug it in, pour some batter, and wait for the light to turn green. Waffles are ready in no more than five minutes.
Plus, this comes with a neat little recipe book packed with recipes for hash browns, paninis, biscuit pizzas, and more!
Promising review: “This thing is incredible. I just mix up a batch of waffle batter and keep it in the fridge and in the morning, I plug this in while pouring my coffee. It reaches temp in about a minute, and then I’ll pour in the batter and about the waffle is done about another minute later.” —Rick
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in 17 styles).
21. A cult-fave Laneige lip mask, which really needs no introduction. With vitamin C, coconut oil, shea butter, and antioxidants, it’ll nourish and protect their lips while giving them a supple, glossy finish. It’s truly a splurge-worthy staple that you can be almost sure is already on their wish list!
BTW, some people use it as a daily lip balm or lip protectant over their lipstick too!
Laneige is an Asian-owned brand that has been in the beauty game for years. (Seriously, since the 90s!) The luxury brand prides itself on being affordable too, and has many fan favorite products because of it.
Promising reviews: “I’d have a hard time pulling the trigger on this for the coat, but when you have seasonally dry lip irritation you can’t escape, you get desperate. I finally decided to splurge, glad I did! A little goes a long way so should last a good while, and never had a quicker turnaround on fixing dry lips. My kids are now asking for it, definitely worth the splurge.” —Michelle
Get it from Amazon for $24Â (available in six scents).
22.
Essence Lash Princess Mascara — not only does it serve as the perfect stocking stuffer, but it might just make them want to throw out their falsies altogether. This’ll give them allll the length and volume *without* the clumps and globs and has even shocked reviewers with how full it leaves their lashes looking compared to other, more expensive brands. It’s a fan fave for a reason!
Emma Lord / BuzzFeed
Promising review: “I have to be honest, for a ‘cheap’ three-pack mascara, I did NOT have high expectations. These, however, exceeded my expectations and went MUCH MUCH farther. I had been buying a certain $25/tube brand (rhymes with truepique) and I like these just as much!! I’m saving a TON of money and like my lashes just as much.” —Liz
Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (available in black and brown).
23.
A fifth-generation Echo Dot if you want to give them the gift of a personal assistant. It’ll set alarms, look up the weather, schedule meetings, play their favorite playlist — it’ll basically be the Jarvis to their Iron Man.
Amazon
Promising review: “I love it. Alexa is there for everything. I don’t have any of the fancy smart appliances, but with this I have a rad English-speaking lady that will set timers for me, tell me how to translate Spanish words, tell me who that guy in that show I’m watching is, tell me I’m the coolest, play my music, and even tell me how much DJ Pauly D is worth. She even reminds me to get toilet paper and will play lullabies to my dogs if they bark and I’m not there. I love you Alexa.” —Rika J.

A silicone popcorn maker for all the movie night fanatics! This is a *far* cry from the regular ol’ popcorn packets you can get in stores. Plus, they can add all the butter, spices, and seasonings they like for the ultimate delicious snack.
amazon.com, amazon.com
This popcorn maker is especially fantastic because it acts as a popcorn bowl itself. PLUS! It’s collapsible! Which makes this easy to store if they have approximately zero space in their kitchen.
Promising review: “Absolutely amazing! I am throwing out my old popcorn maker because there is no need for it anymore. I cannot believe how easy it was to make perfect popcorn and use the same bowl to eat it out of. I’ve already told all of my friends to buy this!” —Cindy Suy

Jumbo silicone ice molds that would work as a nice add-on to their favorite bottle of Bourbon. 👀 With this, that friend/amateur bartender of yours can take their homemade beverages to a new, more ~refined~ level. Besides the fact that they look like they belong in one of Damon Salvatore’s glasses of bourbon, these also take a super long time to melt (so be gone, watered-down liquor!).
Hannah Loewentheil/BuzzFeed
You’ll get two silicone molds and lids: one for square ice cubes, the other for round cubes. They’re both reusable and BPA-free!
BuzzFeed writer Hannah Loewentheil loves these! Here’s what she has to say: “From negronis to margaritas and everything in between, these simple ice cube molds instantly make my cocktail creations taste better. And not to mention the jumbo ice cubes make any basic DIY drink look fancier too.”

A portable Marshall Bluetooth speaker with crystal clear sound, 20+ hours of playback, and a sleek carrying strap — the designated DJ at every group get-together needs this ASAP.
AnaMaria Glavan / BuzzFeed
Here’s what BuzzFeed contributor AnaMaria Glavan says about it: “The sound quality is amazing. Like, really amazing. You can control volume, treble, and bass with the slightest twist of a button, and this small speaker can get LOUD if you so please. I left it outside, put it on its loudest setting, went inside — and I could still hear my Spotify playlist going while I washed my hands. The design itself is also really lovely and, despite looking like it would be heavy, it’s actually surprisingly lightweight. This is definitely one of those sound systems that’s sturdy (and portable) enough to take with you anywhere, whether that be a beach or backyard barbecue. The battery life is also great!! It was playing for eight consecutive hours yesterday and it was still charged halfway. (As someone whose electronic devices are almost always at 3% because I forget to charge everything, I *truly* appreciate this feature, LOL.) I had been putting music from my iPhone on full blast for years, but having a legitimate speaker has honestly been such a wonderful luxury. If you love music, listen to podcasts, or prefer audiobooks, this is one of those investments that’s completely worth it.”
Get it from Marshall for $299.99 (available in two colors).

A 6-quart Vortex air fryer to help them cook their meats, fries, and veggies to crispy perfection with little to no added oil. It’s perfect for large families and will help them achieve a meal that looks like it belongs on the cover of Martha Stewart Living.
Hannah Loewentheil / BuzzFeed
Here’s what BuzzFeed writer Hannah Loewentheil has to say about this nifty kitchen appliance: “I’ve had this air fryer for about three weeks now, and I can honestly say it’s become the hero of my kitchen. It preheats quickly, it’s large enough to a good amount of food at once, it’s easy to clean, and it makes food taste crispy on the outside and moist on the inside without any oil. I’ve been using my air fryer to make vegetables just about every night and it makes them taste so good. If you’re cooking for kids, picky eaters, or you just don’t get so excited about eating vegetables, the air fryer could be perfect for you. If you like chicken, the air fryer might change your life, and I don’t mean that to be dramatic. The air fryer produces restaurant-quality chicken that tastes absurdly decadent, except there’s no oil involved in the cooking — just air. We also tried making sesame chicken in the air fryer using boneless skinless chicken thighs. The sesame chicken tasted almost identical to my favorite Chinese takeout, and it had nothing to do with my cooking skills. Thanks to the air fryer, the chicken gets so crispy. I couldn’t believe I made this at home!!”

A Wilton color swirl piping kit that’ll make it a total breeze for any aspiring Star Baker to pipe three different colors at the same time. Plus, look at how fun this looks! And bonus: that means you’ll probably get some homemade cupcakes as a “thank you.” 😉
youtube.com
Promising review: “I thought this was a lot of fun to use. It’s nice to get the three colors without trying to put all three icings in one bag. I was able to pipe an entire none-inch layer cake in about 15 minutes with adding a bit more icing to each bag near the end. Getting the three couplers to lock together requires that you cut the bag at the right point so that the plastic bag doesn’t cover the notches and grooves that are meant to interlock. I will definitely be using this again.” —Nicole

Promising review: “I love this machine!!! I can FINALLY replicate a delicious iced latte at home!! I just can’t justify latte prices nowadays in any way. The Nespresso capsules come out to a little over a dollar a piece, I add my two Splenda packets and some skim milk — I’d estimate those to be less than $1 combined and I have an inexpensive DELICIOUS iced latte.” —Yelli
