The Apple AirTag has a myriad of uses, making it a prime (and yes, you can get it on Amazon Prime) choice for any giftee. Fundamentally, it often saves your giftee time, allowing them to effortlessly ping easy-to-lose items when rummaging for their keys, wallet, or other items on their way out the door. Some shoppers even love to stick it in a suitcase to track it through the airport, or even on kiddos too young for smartphones. Better yet, this lightweight tile syncs easily with the Find My app along with other iOS products.

For the coworker who seemingly always has a cup of coffee, this mug warmer will make their day (and their cup of joe.) The heated coaster will keep their latte or americano at the perfect temperature throughout the day, no matter how many hours they leave it on there. It doubles as a candle warmer, too, so if they work from home and want to create the perfect scentscape fire-free, this thing has got them covered.

Did you get an outdoorsy giftee in this year’s Secret Santa? From the trail to the beach, this lightweight, packable dry bag is a necessity that folds up to practically nothing. Whether your giftee is the type to unironically call dirt “trail spice” or is simply hoping not to get a phone wet when in a hot tub at a ski chalet this winter, they’ll be grateful for the added protection of this 3-liter layer. Better yet, it comes in five funky colors.

Fashionable earplugs are the must-haves they didn’t know they needed. These stylish inserts—which come in seven cute colors—reduce the everyday noise and stimulation we’re confronted with every day. Four interchangeable ear tips and flexible silicone make for a comfortable fit both day and night. Some use them to minimize noise in chaotic environments; others use them for deep focus. For your frequent traveler buddy, these are an absolute godsend in a crowded hostel or city sidewalk.

For the fan of “hot girl walks” (or your friend who’s always playing chicken with a couple of loose credit cards and a bare phone), try gifting this minimal crossbody bag.

Hear us out: bar soap is a perfect pick-me-up gift. It lasts forever, smells divine, and often has better bang for your buck than perfume or liquid soap. We’re big believers that one of the best gifts you can give is elevating a daily ritual (like an absolutely *fabulous* shower), and you could even bundle it with an adorable soap dish or hand cream if you need a little oomph.

How cute are these tea bags?! And delicious, too. Stuffed with sweet Early Grey tea, they’re sure to bring a smile to your Secret Santa’s face (and mug).

No one will ever be upset about getting a blanket, and this one is no different. At 60″ x 70″, this cozy throw will wrap them in pure bliss on the couch, in the car, or wherever they want to cuddle up.

Socks are the go-to gift joke, but most people will *actually* tell you that a bomb—or rather, Bombas—pair of socks will go a long way in the cozy self-care time we all relish with winter up ahead. There’s a reason shoppers adore this brand. Merino wool is an absolute powerhouse of a material too; it’s sweat-wicking, but warm enough to keep you comfortable no matter the temperature. The Y-stitched heel also creates a natural cup shape that hugs the foot for optimal support.

This adorable bauble is filled with a luxe candle scented with sweet caramel and vanilla, igniting a festive atmosphere wherever it hangs. Whether it’s for your colleague or your bestie, this little gem will add a delightful touch of warmth and joy on *and* off the Christmas tree.

With holiday soirées on the horizon, these timeless yet on-trend earrings will be a welcome sight for sore eyes but not sore ears.

(This shopper may or may not have *gifted* these to herself while writing.)

The Laneige Lip Sleep Mask is alllll over your feeds for a reason, and beloved by celebs like Sydney Sweeney. For the gift recipient who’s been saving self care for a rainy day (or simply could use a much-needed restock of this product), this intensely moisturizing overnight scrub is stocked full of antioxidants and hydration.

Inspired by plants, “Please Grow: Lessons on Thriving for Plants (and People)” by illustrator Alex Testere is a self-care book that doubles as home decor. Filled with pages and pages of vibrant drawings, the book takes inspiration from the natural world and how we can apply them to our human lives. Growth isn’t just for plants, after all.

Did you draw a passionate baker? This minimalist rolling pin makes for a *sweet* gift. Made from 100-percent beechwood, it tapers at the ends for a chic, elegant style that looks good on the counter long after they’ve baked cookies, bread, and more. Yum.

For the caffeine lover experimenting who craves their morning coffee or tea, consider gifting them a high-quality matcha to try. This vegan, ceremonial-grade Japanese matcha is packed with naturally soothing L-theanine (so no jitters!) and can make both hot and cold beverages. One small tin makes up to thirty cups.

Le Creuset is a household staple for a reason. The iconic, gorgeous colorways combined with some serious hardcore longevity make each piece expensive but worthwhile. (The brand’s known for its attention to detail, French craftsmanship, and practically artisanal palette.) Start off their collection with a daily-use mug available in seven stunning colors.

A Turkish towel has superior quality, absorbency, and softness that wins over everyone from the casual picnic-er to the hardcore outdoorsy camper to the gal who loves having a gorgeous linen closet. A quick-drying towel comes in handy in any situation, and the fringe is cute enough to get oooohs and ahhhs at your gift exchange. Oh, and it’s even on sale.

Embellish their bar cart with this striking jade-colored set of coupe glasses. The organic shapes add a subtly modern touch that coincides nicely with their vintage aesthetic that instantly meshes with any decor style. They can even drag ‘em out for the holidays, getting immediate use.

For the chef, the pal, or the coffee table book aficionado: you can’t get much better than Tieghan Gerard’s collection of exclusive recipes beyond those found on her cooking blog, Half Baked Harvest. For a personal touch, you can annotate the recipes throughout, or buy yourself a copy too and cook together through the book if you’d like to add in a little quality time to the prezzie.

The Stanley is famous across the Internet and it wholly deserves the reputation. New models and drops routinely sell out within minutes of being posted to their site, so it’s much snazzier than the usual yawn of a travel mug gift. (We’re kidding; we’ll always add to the collection.) But the insulation of these can keep bevvies hot or cold for hours, it fits within your car’s cup holder, and its rotating straw top has three possible positions for every type of sipper.
