Hey there! While we’re working hard to ensure the featured products arrive in time for Christmas, shipping can be unpredictable this year. Delivery times may vary based on your location, the item you order, and other factors. Shop ahead and double-check retailers' websites for shipping details to make sure your gift reaches its destination before the 25th!
1. A back-and-body acupressure massager that provides soothing relief for tension in their back (as well as their shoulders, feet, and legs) whenever they need it. The ergonomic curve is designed to give users leverage so they don’t have to exert much effort to get the pressure they need.
2. Pop-up cards that do more than just convey the perfect message — they’re essentially little gifts all on their own.
Promising review: "These cards are brilliant, stunning, and of a quality that's hard to find in the marketplace. On top of that, the team behind this venture is absolutely wonderful, making you feel valued as more than just a consumer. They treat you like someone seeking a meaningful way to show love, and they’re thrilled to assist. In a world filled with chaos, finding such a gem of kindness is a true treasure." —VerbRiver
Get the Christmas Tree Village card for $13, the Baby Yoda Card for $15, or explore Lovepop's complete card range, all on Amazon.
3. An 84-piece Qubits construction kit ideal for budding engineers, offering no instructions or set designs — just pure freedom to create and let their imagination soar.
Promising review: "These are fantastic! Initially, we weren’t sure how to use them. My husband, who’s a designer, and I, both with four kids (almost 7, almost 5, 3, and almost 1.5), all sat down to experiment with them for a while until we figured out how they worked. It really stimulates your brain and creativity. Now, my kids come up with the most amazing creations! Trains, bikes, gardens, etc. sometimes we even combine them with our magna tiles to build elaborate cities. The possibilities are endless, and the creativity involved is remarkable!" —worker1
Available on Amazon for $34.95+ (two sizes available).
4. A reusable silicone zip bag, perfect for reducing plastic waste in daily life and potentially saving hundreds (even thousands!) of single-use plastic bags from polluting the environment.
They're completely dishwasher-safe. (I personally own a couple and have been using them for several years — they’re still in excellent condition after countless trips through the top rack!)
Promising review: "I’ve tried a ton of reusable bags, and there are so many options out there made from various materials. The fabric ones get dirty quickly. The vinyl ones are tough to clean and often can’t go in the dishwasher. Some silicone bags require a separate rod to close, which can easily get lost. This one is the simplest and most user-friendly. No extra pieces to misplace. It can handle any temperature—microwave, dishwasher, you name it. And if they get gunky, they’re incredibly easy to clean. I trust they won’t trap crumbs in any crevices." —Megan A.
Available on Amazon: the snack size for $9.99, the sandwich size for $11.95, a "stand up" nearly half-gallon size for $19.99, or the half-gallon size for $19.99.
5. Some playful lipstick shades from The Lip Bar, because not only do they come in beautiful colors, but the formula is enriched with shea butter, coconut oil, avocado oil, and vitamin E to keep lips moisturized and smooth.
The Lip Bar is a Black-owned makeup brand, and every product is vegan and cruelty-free!
Promising review: "I absolutely love it!! The lipstick glided on smoothly, and I didn’t even feel it once it was on. When I took it off, my lips weren’t dry, peeled, or stained—they felt soft. I will definitely be purchasing more!!" —Bria93
Available at Target (7 shades), The Lip Bar (10 shades), or Amazon (11 shades) for $12.99+ each.
6. A pair of miniature spatulas, a perfect gift for any budding makeup artist, as they help make sure not a single drop of primer, foundation, or any other product goes to waste.
It’s also fantastic for jars of mustard and peanut butter! By the way, these tools truly work, and work incredibly well — here’s our review of it (#1).
Promising review: "Totally worth it! I’m so happy with it. This tool will definitely save you money. Imagine how much I could have saved if this had been invented 30 years ago. I mostly use it for small makeup jars. I tried the longer one on an 18 oz lotion bottle and it worked great. Some people complain that it doesn't reach every curve and corner of their container... oh, please! You get so much more out of it than without it." —Liz
Get a set of two — one with a 6-inch handle, and another with a 12-inch handle (perfect for different tasks!) — on Amazon for $11.99.
7. The Comfy, a reversible blanket-turned-sweatshirt, ideal for anyone who loves cozying up under a blanket but wishes the blanket could follow them wherever they go.
It’s designed to be large enough to fully cover you when you curl up on the couch, and of course, it’s machine washable and dryable.
Promising review: "I saw this on Shark Tank and decided to get it for my teenage daughter, who’s always stealing my hoodies to stay warm while watching TV or reading. I was really impressed with how well-made it is. Super soft and definitely worth the price if you want something comfy to lounge in. She absolutely loves it." —Chaka
Available on Amazon for $39.99+ (in both adult and kids sizes, and 8 different colors/patterns).
8. The Squatty Potty toilet stool (yes, you read that right!) because A) it will definitely be funny when they open it, and B) it genuinely aligns things in a natural way to make the whole process of pooping quicker and easier.
We know it works because several Mytourers have tried and loved it — check out one review here.
Promising reviews: "According to my husband: "The first time I used it, I thought ‘There’s no way that last 3 inches of poop would have come out without the Squatty Potty.’" —m2
"It’s unbelievable that I’ve been doing this simple bodily function incorrectly my entire life. This product is amazing and worth every penny. It allows you to adopt a healthy, natural posture without having to give up your western toilet. You really need to try it to understand just how great it is." —Amazon Customer
Get them from Amazon: the 7-inch high stool (perfect for beginners) or the 9-inch-high stool (for the more experienced squatters) for $24.99.
They also offer a bamboo "flip" version that adjusts between 7 and 9 inches for $39.99, or the 7-inch clear acrylic version for $76.94!
9. A ratcheting leather belt — instead of traditional holes, it adjusts to fit your waist precisely every time you wear it, providing a perfect fit each time.
Promising review: "Honestly, I had never heard of a ratcheting belt before I ordered this, so I wasn't sure what to expect. But after using my Mission Belt for about a week, I can honestly say I love it. The leather feels premium and looks fantastic. The buckle finish is sleek. Initially, I was concerned about how the buckle would work, but that concern vanished after my first use. This buckle style is much easier to use than a traditional one. Plus, it won't stretch or damage the leather’s finish. I got this belt to wear with dress pants, but it’s become my everyday go-to belt." —Jbemt
Get them from Amazon: the men’s belt for $36.95+ (sizes S/28" to Custom/up to 56", available in many colors/buckle combinations) and the women’s belt for $36.95 (sizes XS/up to 25" to XL/up to 42", also in various colors/buckle combinations). Available in canvas or nylon too!
10. A snug-fit undershirt perfect for anyone who’s self-conscious about sweat because it comes with built-in padding that absorbs sweat before it can form any noticeable ring on your dress shirts.
Customer Review: "I usually sweat a lot and had yet to find something that worked. I thought I'd give this a shot, even though I was a bit doubtful. I wore it to work under my dress shirt and checked multiple times throughout the day. Completely dry every time. This product does exactly what it promises. My body tends to run warm, so I was concerned it would make me feel too hot. While I did feel a bit warmer, it was nothing too uncomfortable. The 'shield' does feel a bit bulky at first, and you can tell you have something under your arm. However, after a few hours, I got used to it. Honestly, if I have to adjust to that minor sensation to keep my underarms dry, it's a small price to pay." —Amazon Customer
Available for purchase on Amazon for $33 (sizes XS–3XL and in four colors).
11. Here’s a set of seat gap fillers that can save you (or anyone) from the endless frustration of dropping their phone into the unreachable gap between seats — or from their teenager dropping a few pieces of popcorn that will be lost forever.
12. This whole-grain, protein-packed pancake and waffle mix makes for a great dish for the entire family or can be a thoughtful gift for your fitness-loving, baking-enthusiast friend, as it can also be used as a flour substitute.
Back in 2018, my family picked up a few boxes of their buttermilk mix for making pancakes during Christmas, and they turned out to be absolutely delicious! I've had them a few times since then, and every time, they never disappoint. These pancakes definitely keep me feeling full longer than regular ones, thanks to the 14 grams of protein per serving (or 21 grams if you mix them with milk and eggs, which I highly recommend for a better texture).
Customer Review: "You can't tell these pancakes are made from whole wheat—they taste just as good, if not better. They don’t burn easily and are dense yet fluffy when cooked. Most importantly, they won’t cause your blood sugar to spike! With regular pancakes or any other protein pancake mix, I'm usually hungry again after a short time. But this mix keeps me full for up to five hours, and that's with just one serving of 53 grams of batter, as per the nutrition label. Highly recommend! They taste great, have clean ingredients, and I’m glad I discovered them online." —Court
Purchase six boxes of Buttermilk Flapjack Mix for $29.94 on Amazon, so you can enjoy them and even share as gifts (also available in eight other flavors here).
13. This gift wrap cutter is a must-have, ensuring perfectly straight cuts every time and much faster than using scissors. The open-ended tool fits over the roll of wrapping paper, with a sharp blade that slices exactly where the paper ends, providing a clean cut every time.
This is the ideal gift for anyone who has a lot of wrapping to do! To use, just pull the required length of paper through the side slot of the tool, slide it down to the end, and position the paper's edge in the tool’s notched blade. Once the paper is set, slide the tool back up, and it will cut smoothly—just like in the gif! After you finish, you can easily store the cutter on the roll to prevent any unraveling.
Customer Review: "Fantastic! A must-have for the holidays. It’s really easy to use. I saw it on Shark Tank last year and had to try it. The paper cuts smoothly just like it’s advertised. It's very affordable too! I definitely recommend it." —Susan
Get it at Target for $5.99.
14. These discreet, high-fidelity earplugs are designed to reduce the noise at outdoor (and socially distanced) concerts or events, protecting their hearing without sacrificing the music's clarity and quality.
Reviews suggest these earplugs also benefit individuals with autism, PTSD, and sensory overload by making loud environments more tolerable! The earplugs feature special sound-dampening filters, and when you purchase them, they come with three size options for a perfect fit. Additionally, they're reusable and washable by hand.
Customer Review: "I'm a hobbyist musician (drummer and guitarist), and I'm around loud music often. I also attend several concerts. I decided to test these earplugs at a Trans-Siberian Orchestra concert, and I was extremely happy with the results. They let me enjoy the music while reducing the painful volume and eliminating some of the harsh overtones in the arena. I've tried other earplugs before, but they blocked too much of the sound I wanted to hear. I wish I had started using these years ago. If you're a performing musician or a frequent concert-goer looking to protect your hearing, I highly recommend giving these a try. You won't find a better value for such an effective product." —Fudge13
Get them on Amazon for $23.98.
15. Pick up a pair (or a few pairs) of Bombas Socks, because, just like your favorite podcast hosts rave about, they are incredibly comfortable, fit perfectly, and are simply top-quality socks all around.
Two years ago, my parents gifted me a few pairs of their wool ankle socks for Christmas, and they've truly been a game changer during the winter months. My toes tend to freeze quickly, even when wearing thick boots, and these socks help keep them warmer for longer! They also make wearing my favorite ankle boots much more comfortable compared to the thinner socks I used to wear. They fit my feet perfectly: plenty of room in the toes (with no annoying seam!), snug in the arches (almost like a compression fit), and cushioned in the heel. Nearly two years later, they're still as good as new — the cuff around the ankle stays in place without being too tight, and they fit as well as they did on day one. Socks might seem like an odd gift, but these are so cozy and high-quality that they're actually the gift I appreciate the most from that year! Oh, and for each pair you buy, the company donates a pair to one of their 2,500+ giving partners in the US, so you're making a difference with your gift.
Get a set of six women's ankle socks on Bombas for $85.50, or a single pair for $15. (They offer many styles, colors, and multiple sizes for men, women, and kids; options in five heights, including no-show, ankle, quarter, calf, and knee-high/over-calf. You can also find convenient gift sets.)
16. Consider a Sleep Pod for anyone who loves the sensation of a weighted blanket (or being embraced all night) but tends to overheat. This option is made of lightweight, stretchy fabric that's about as heavy as a sheet, yet still provides that cozy snuggled feeling throughout the night — and trust me, I've experienced it!
I've used mine countless times, and while I didn't struggle to fall asleep without it, it definitely helps me drift off faster and sleep more soundly! It essentially works like a stretchy, full-body pillowcase, but it feels like being gently hugged all over. Oh, and it's machine washable, which is key for something I use for 56+ hours a week!
My Mytour Shopping colleague Mal Mower also swears by it. Here's what she shared in her Hatch Sleep Pod review:
"I recently swapped my weighted blanket for a Sleep Pod, and I’ll never go back. I loved the comfort of the weighted blanket, but it was too hot, and I couldn’t tolerate it for long. Plus, it was too heavy to take anywhere. This design solves both issues. The fabric is breathable and lightweight enough that I can use it in the summer, and I can pack it in my tote bag for vacations. Every time I slip into it, I feel calm and comforted. I've used it for naps, to unwind before bed, and even while binge-watching Chernobyl to help relieve stress. I can't rave enough about this — I'll definitely continue using it!"
Get it from Hug Sleep for $79.99 (originally $110; available in sizes S-L).
17. Gift them a Burro Buddy, which attaches to their wheelbarrow, offering dedicated compartments for their water bottle, tools, phone, sunglasses, and other essentials they need while gardening to their heart's content.
This attachment is compatible with most standard 4, 5, 6, and 7 cubic-foot wheelbarrows. The small green tab in the center lifts to uncover a compartment that’s shielded from dirt. Crafted from UV-resistant plastic, it’s designed to endure even the hottest summers and can also fit some utility wagons.
Promising review: "This product is fantastic. It's solid, fits perfectly in our wheelbarrow — it makes using tools in the yard much more convenient. It can hold a drink and has a place for your phone. While it may seem a bit pricey, after seeing it in person, the price matches the quality. I wish I had discovered it years ago! It’s a great gift for anyone who enjoys working in the garden, or even someone like me who doesn’t." —Nancy S
Available on Amazon for $39.95 (+$4.95 shipping).
18. A UV phone sanitizer because it helps kill bacteria and germs every night, though it won't remove all the grease marks on your screen.
A few years ago, Mytourer tested a selection of our phones for germs, and the cleanest phone was from someone who used a similar product (the others, well, let’s just say they were less than clean).
Promising review: "I work in a large dental clinic with more than 50 doctors and even more assistants. Anyone in the dental field knows how many aerosols are produced during procedures. Since we don’t have a radio in the rooms, I use my phone for music. Before PhoneSoap, I had to clean my phone with Cavicide wipes, which wasn’t great for the phone. With PhoneSoap, I can sanitize my phone without damaging it! We’ve even tested it, swabbing the phone for bacteria before and after...this device works! It’s a great investment. I’m buying another one for home since this one will stay in my office." —James
Available on Amazon for $79.95, in either light gold or white.
19. A few packs of NeuroMints, which combine caffeine with l-theanine and vitamin B to provide a rapid energy boost, helping them power through their workday, workout, or any challenges that come their way.
20. A Monkey Mat — it folds into a compact pouch attached to the blanket, so it's always ready when you need a surface to sit on. Made from durable, lightweight rip-stop nylon, you can easily shake off spills, grass, sand, or dirt the moment they happen (and trust us...they will happen).
21. A set of two magnetic glasses holders, so your dad will always know exactly where his reading glasses are.
Notable review: "I've lost countless reading glasses over the years, mostly from dropping them after awkwardly placing them in my shirt pocket or collar. These clips are a game changer. They're subtle enough that I don’t look silly wearing one all day, and when I hang my glasses from them, I can even tie my shoes without worrying about the lenses hitting the ground. What more could I want?" —Phil Selman
You can grab a set of two on Amazon for $18.97 (with both silver and black options included).
22. A silicone Frywall — perfect for the home cook who loves experimenting with new dishes but dislikes the mess afterward. This tool allows them to cook with oil without making a mess all over the stove.
This item is dishwasher-safe, can handle temperatures as high as 450°F, and conveniently rolls up into a compact sleeve for easy storage. It's designed for 10-inch pans and is not compatible with downdraft stoves (those with a vent that pulls air down toward the floor instead of up).
Positive review: "I used my Frywall for the first time tonight to fry sole filets. It worked flawlessly. I was amazed by the amount of oil that stayed on the Frywall. That’s oil that would have otherwise splattered onto the stove, counter, and wall. It fit perfectly in my 10.5-inch All Clad saute pan, so it should work with All Clad saucepans too, as their lids are identical. I cleaned it by hand and let it dry on the open dishwasher door." —ezreader
Available on Amazon for $18.95.
23. A ~water enhancer~ designed to improve water by adding specific minerals, optimizing it for brewing the perfect cup of coffee, no matter your brewing method.
Rave review: "For anyone with a reverse osmosis system, this is a must-have for making coffee. While I love RO water for drinking, adding this to it results in a richer, more aromatic coffee. The first cups I brewed with RO water alone were bland, almost tasteless. But with this added to dark roast beans, the coffee tastes better than most cups I’ve had at places charging $4 a cup." —J. Press
You can purchase a box of 12 capsules (enough for 12 gallons of water) on Amazon for $15.
24. A silicone wedding band designed so your significant other can safely leave their ring behind while engaging in any activity, whether they're a busy mom, mountain climber, cross-fitter, nurse, or simply want a super comfortable everyday ring.
Several reviewers note that the ring may stretch slightly over time, so they suggest ordering a size smaller.
Positive review: "This is a very practical ring. I can wear it all day without even noticing it or having it interfere with anything. I wear it while showering, doing dishes, and more. I bought the white one, and after about a month of use, it still hasn’t discolored, which I was initially concerned about. I have a metal allergy, so this was a perfect alternative for my wedding ring. (I still wear my diamond ring for special occasions). It fits perfectly. I was worried it would be too tight and uncomfortable or difficult to remove, but that hasn’t been an issue. It was comfortable from the very first day. I’m very happy with it! Highly recommend!" —WWoman6814
You can find it on Amazon for $12.49–$24.99 (available in sizes 4–9 and 12 color options).
25. A set of fizzy cleaning tablets for the friend who’s always carrying around a large metal water bottle or coffee mug.
Simply fill your container with warm water, drop in a tablet (or two if you're cleaning something larger than a water bottle), let it sit for 30 minutes, then rinse. Reviews suggest it works best on metal or ceramic surfaces, but not so much on plastic.
Promising review: "Make sure to use hot water; it seems to perform much better. The first time I used it on a Contigo travel mug with room-temperature water, the results were just okay. The next time I tried boiling water, and the results were incredible. It looked brand new. I then used two cubes (with boiling water) on a well-worn pressure cooker that had years of brown stains from vegetable soups, and I was shocked by how clean it got. That stain had persisted through numerous scrubbing attempts and dishwasher cycles, so I didn’t expect much, but it worked wonders." —MisterPlow
Get a 12-tablet pack on Amazon for $8.
26. A dog costume so your beloved pup can experience what it feels like to be a panda, lion, bear, or bunny for once.
(Let’s be real, it’s really so you can have a good laugh as they zoom around the house). Along with the panda and lion designs, there are also bunny and teddy bear options.
Promising review: "Although it was a bit challenging to get it on my 16-week old, seven-pound, squirming puppy (Size 1), and he wasn’t thrilled about running around in it (typical puppy behavior), the photo op was worth every penny! Many people commented it was the cutest thing they had seen in ages!" —Sierra Meadow
Get one on Amazon for $34+ (four sizes available based on your dog’s measurements).
27. The HoodiePillow, a memory foam neck pillow with an attached hoodie because sometimes it's just easier to nap on a plane or bus — in the future, once travel becomes safe again — if you can block out the chaos around you.
Promising review: "Comfortable neck pillow. Perfect for air travel, the hoodie is simple to adjust over your face, helping me block out unwanted light and distractions on the plane! I also use it when I'm a passenger in a car for a quick nap. The memory foam is really comfortable." —TK
Get it on Amazon for $29.95 (available in six colors).
28. A subscription to BootayBag, which delivers a new pair of stylish undies each month for 6 or 12 months (depending on your choice), providing something exciting to look forward to long after the holiday season has ended.
Just...make sure you’re giving underwear to someone who’s the right recipient for it, okay? You can choose to send either one or two pairs per month, with options for cheeky styles or thongs.
Sign up for a gift plan from BootayBag starting at $54+ (available in 6-month or full-year plans).
29. Some Joe's Gourmet Fish Fry breading mix so they (or you, cooking for them) can prepare a deliciously flavorful meal with less salt and oil absorption than other fry mixes. And yes, you can use it to fry chicken, green tomatoes, vegetables, and many other tasty treats — plus, it’s even air fryer-compatible!
Joe's Gourmet is a proud black-owned business that originated from Joe's Gourmet Fish and Chicken in Lithia Springs, Georgia! The bags are resealable, and the mix is also great for oven-fried dishes.
Promising reviews: "The best that I have used. Works perfectly for deep frying or air frying. Very tasty!" —Russell. Harper
"Fantastic coating for fish! As instructed, dip fillets in egg and then Joe’s Gourmet Fish Fry. Fry fillets (about 3/8 to 1/2 inch thick) in a little oil for four minutes on one side, flip, and fry the other side for two minutes. Perfect results!" —Sueatthebeach
Get a pack of six bags on Amazon for $39.99.
30. A cheesy or hilariously funny sweater or tee from Tipsy Elves, perfect for anyone who’ll burst into laughter as soon as they unwrap it.
Reviewers say the sweater is true to size; while there are fewer reviews for the tee, they also suggest it fits similarly.
FYI: The unicorn sweater is also available in men’s sizes, featuring Santa wielding a sword; if you like that idea, order that version, but in a smaller size than you'd get in women’s sizes. (If you’re not a fan of the sword, order the women’s version in the correct size!)
Promising review (for the sweater): "This sweater is super cute and was a hit at my ugly Christmas sweater party. But what really impressed me was the high quality of the sweater. It’s very well made!" —Tipster
Get them on Amazon: the sweater in women’s sizes for $39.95 (also available in men’s sizes for $29.95) or the tee for $12.95 (available in sizes XS–XXL). You can also explore the full Tipsy Elves collection!
31. A bottle-emptying tool that allows them to squeeze out every last bit from their favorite shampoos, lotions, or even food items like honey or that fancy salad dressing they rave about.
The kit includes six adapters (for various bottle neck sizes) and six purple stands to hold bottles for dispensing.
Promising review: "This tool is fantastic for using up every drop of product and cutting down on waste. We applied this to a lotion bottle that we thought was empty, but we were stunned to get nearly six more months of use! Now, I use it for my shampoo and anything else I can think of." —Felishia Rae
Get the kit on Amazon for $19.99.
32. The Safety Nailer — a handy tool to give them the confidence to actually use a nail and hammer. It features magnets to hold nails or screws in place, two elastic loops for easy grip, and a protective plastic shield for finger safety.
Promising review: "I have both this one and the finish nail size, and they work fantastic! I experience nerve pain in my hands, and The Safety Nailer has eliminated the risk of me accidentally hitting my fingers with a hammer. What a relief! It’s perfect for those of us with reduced dexterity. One of the best construction tools I’ve ever bought." —w4shep
Get them from Amazon: the regular size for $8.99, the mini size for $8.99, or a bundle with both sizes for $17.99.
33. A tube of Nerdwax designed to keep their glasses securely in place, putting an end to the need to constantly adjust them when they start to slide down their nose.
Promising review: "IMPORTANT TIP: Many people complain that the wax doesn’t stick or apply well. The trick is to first remove all oil from the glasses. Use pre-moistened glasses wipes, which are available at most stores, or if you don't have those, clean with water, dish soap, and a dry paper towel. Even a tiny amount of oil will prevent the wax from applying properly. Once the glasses are clean and dry, the wax applies smoothly with minimal effort. It works really well! My only issue is that it doesn’t last all day due to my oily skin, but it’s still much better than constantly pushing my glasses up throughout the day!" —Pickles
Get a tube on Amazon for $9.99 (or buy a pack of five tubes for $19.99).
