Promising review: "This is the best pillow for neck and shoulder pain. These pillows are so wonderful! I suffer from neck and shoulder issues when I sleep, and after just a few nights on this pillow, I’ve been able to sleep pain-free. They feel a little firm at first, but after a week, they break in perfectly. I also have a Tuft & Needle mattress and have never slept better!" —atomson
Get it from Tuft & Needle for $67.50+ (available in two sizes).

7. A pair of long-distance lamps – a thoughtful, glowing gift for loved ones who are far away.

I love knowing that even though they’re far away, I’m still in their thoughts. You’ll be delighted with this purchase." —Monica
"My mother-in-law and little girl use this to say 'hello' and 'goodnight.' They get so excited when their light pops on, and it’s fun to 'respond' by tapping on their end to change the color, showing they’re thinking of me! It's perfect for a baby or toddler who can’t quite talk on the phone but understands lights and colors." —Angie
Get them from Uncommon Goods for $170.

This set features an eye and cheek palette with eight beautiful shades, a primer stick, and a detailing paddle brush set that includes three versatile brushes.
Glowing review: "The brushes are so soft and pretty! They work exactly as described, depositing color flawlessly. Shape Tape primer is hands down the best! There’s no uncomfortable drying feeling I’ve had with other eye primers, and the color stays put — even with my four cats rubbing my face, my eye color stayed in place! The eye palette is stunning and the highlight/contour gives me a gorgeous sun-kissed look." —Rebecca P.
Get it from Tarte for $65.
9. An app-controlled indoor garden – a thoughtful gift for the sibling who left your hometown for the city and misses having a backyard garden. This handy garden system walks users through the entire plant care journey, from seedlings to salad! And it’s all done indoors!
Order by December 14th to receive by Christmas.
I own one of these! Not only does the garden make my apartment look gorgeous, but the process is foolproof. With detailed step-by-step guidance, I’ve gained confidence in a hobby that’s completely outside my comfort zone. The Rise Gardens app tells you exactly what to do to care for your plants, and it’s so rewarding watching them grow quickly! They offer a wide range of herb and vegetable seed options — so you can be the indoor farmer you’ve always wanted to be!
Glowing review: "I couldn't be happier with my garden! It's beautifully designed, super easy to use, and we’re enjoying fresh produce all year long. It’s also a stunning decorative piece. While there’s a little noise from the water draining, you’ll get used to it — in fact, I now enjoy it. The light is very bright, though, so it might not be suitable for all rooms. I had a couple of minor issues with the power supply and EC/pH sensor at first, but customer service was prompt with replacements. I'm excited to try different plant varieties and am even considering getting a second one since the nutrient needs differ between young and mature plants." —Ross
Get it from Rise Gardens for $474+ (available in three sizes).
10. A stand-up paddleboard and paddle set for introducing your S.O. to a fun outdoor activity, even if they typically prefer staying inside.
Glowing review: "This is my first paddleboard, and I can’t believe I waited this long to get one. With the challenges of COVID, I’ve found solace in the outdoors, and this board has been a total game-changer. It’s incredibly stable, which is crucial. I’ve ventured into larger waters, and even with boat wakes, the stability is impressive. Pop makes fantastic boards, and I’m already planning paddling adventures around it!" —Freddie A.
Get the paddleboard for $799 and the paddle for $99.95, both from Backcountry.

Perfect for family-history enthusiasts, especially grandparents eager to connect the dots between history and cutting-edge science.
Positive review: "I'm a sperm donor baby. I followed the instructions, spit in the vial, and found my genetic father. Life is strange, but it’s good. Thanks, 23andMe." —A. Roos
Get the geographic ancestry kit for $88.95 or the ancestry traits kit for $129, both available on Amazon.
13. A Vitamix immersion blender for making the most of soup season. If you gift this to the home chef in your life, be prepared for some mouthwatering meals. Just remember to offer a hand with the prep work!
Highly recommended review: "I saw Bobby Flay use this, and I had to try making something from his show. The power of this blender is unmatched, and it’s scratch-resistant too! Built to last, just like my 25-year-old blender!! I only buy top-tier appliances, and Vitamix is at the top of the list. It’s versatile, powerful, and user-friendly. Making food and drinks has never been more convenient." —Chris65
Purchase it from Vitamix for $149.95.

15. A top-of-the-line luxury office chair featuring incredible lumbar support, built-in heating, AND MASSAGE SETTINGS, so while working from home they can smooth out any tensions before their next presentation *and* relieve their back pain at the same time.
Choose from their wide selection of office chairs and massage chairs, then personalize colors and settings however you like! When I got mine (as seen above), I went all out – it has both massage and heat settings, and now I can't imagine working without them! Honestly, this chair has improved my focus and productivity because I *enjoy* sitting in it all day. A funny little bonus is that the wheels make it incredibly easy to move, which is a lifesaver in my tiny apartment, as I can roll it around my two desks, through a cramped hallway, and into the living room for extra seating when needed.
Highly recommended review: "This chair exceeded my high expectations for comfort, functionality, and how well it adapts to my spinal and gluteal needs... ensuring my back is properly aligned and my seat is comfortable. The price is fair, given its sturdy build and wide range of adjustable features. I'm so glad I made the decision to purchase this chair for my study!" —TonyO
Get it from X-Chair for $1,149.99 (with customization options).
16. A compact ice cube maker that guarantees your roommate always has plenty of ice on hand, freeing you from the chore of refilling the trays (which means you'll actually get some ice this time). Passive-aggressive presents that solve problems? Priceless!
Highly recommended review: "This ice maker is perfect for my condo. It doesn't take up much counter space at all, which is a huge win. I really wish I had bought it sooner." —Susan
Get it on sale from Wayfair for $132.31 (originally $149.95; available in five colors).

28. A metal wall mirror that channels the vibe of an embroidery hoop-turned mirror, making it the ~sew~ perfect addition your grateful friend is going to want to hang up immediately!
29. A preserved fern ball that needs absolutely no maintenance – just hang it up and let it be a forever companion! A plant they can’t possibly kill? Definitely worth every penny.
I picked this up months ago because I wanted plants in my home but didn’t want the stress of keeping them alive. This gave me the chance to spruce up my space without the added pressure. I clean it every so often, but other than that, it’s a low-maintenance piece of decor that looks *amazing* all day, every day. Plus, it’s safe for pets, so no worries if your furry friends get curious!
Get it from The Sill for $75.

31. A customizable desk featuring dash panels that allow them to design their ideal workspace – whether they prefer a sleek minimalist look or, like me, a bold maximalist style.
This desk has completely transformed my work-from-home experience – I can barely recall the days when I worked from bed (though I’m pretty sure I've blocked them out). I added the filing shelf to organize my favorite spooky books, the dry erase panel for jotting quick notes, and a headphone hook for easy access. It saves floor space (perfect for my tiny apartment) and even comes with a charging dock featuring extra outlets for both USB cords and regular plugs, so you won’t have to search your house for more outlets. The adjustable shelves were easy to set up and incredibly satisfying. Plus, it’s ridiculously pretty.
Get it from Nine O for $375+ (offered in three kits with a variety of customized add-ons).

Promising review: "I’m loving my Tushy! It’s so powerful and a breeze to install! Honestly, I wish my sink were on the same wall so I could enjoy the warm water option, but it’s still incredibly effective and certainly gets you wide awake! I truly think this is the best way to stay squeaky clean and, with my Squatty Potty, I’m confident that 2019 will be the year of the happiest BM!" —Natalie D.
Get it from Tushy for $69 (available in nine colors).
