35 Incredible Gifts That Will Make Them Wonder If Someone's Been Eavesdropping On Their Conversations

The holiday season has finally arrived, and what a year it's been! While we're doing our best to ensure the products we feature arrive in time, shipping delays are more common this year, so we recommend shopping as early as possible.

Shipping times and stock availability can vary based on your location, the item you choose, and other factors. To ensure your gift arrives in time, it's best to place your order sooner than you think and double-check the retailer’s website for updated shipping details.

1. A Jeopardy 2022 daily calendar (RIP Alex Trebek) to challenge your trivia-loving giftee's mind (and yours too!). Alex, what is "the ultimate gift?"

2. Hand Lettering 101 for anyone looking to level up their handwriting. And just so you know, Meghan Markle was into calligraphy before meeting Prince Harry—I'm not saying this book will help them find their prince, but I can't rule that out either.

3. Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza, a quick and hilarious card-slapping game to let them crush their family and friends at the next game night.

4. The latest AirPods Pro for Dad, always on work calls and complaining about how loudly you breathe, even though you're in a completely different room. These will block out everything from roommates to nearby construction, downstairs neighbors, and more with active noise cancellation. Plus, there's Transparency mode, so he can still hear things around him—like when Mom yells that it's time for dinner.

5. A 2022 Bubble Wrap calendar because the simple pleasure of popping each bubble every day should never be underestimated.

6. A screaming goat that will perfectly capture their mood nearly all the time. It sits on a tree stump and screams every time it's touched, and honestly, all I can say is 'same.'

A virtual reality adventure awaits with the Oculus Quest 2, perfect for those eager to dive into immersive experiences. From gaming to exercising and even movie watching, it promises to elevate everything to new heights.

8. A fun way to surprise yourself with a gift: Mario Party Superstars. Challenge your friends and family in multiplayer mode (up to four players) to collect the most stars. Plus, enjoy five nostalgic boards from the classic Nintendo 64 Mario Party games.

9. A gift card to The Adventure Challenge, so the couple you care about can add some spontaneity to their relationship with a book full of scratch-off dates. Every activity is a surprise until they scratch it off. You'll also receive an instant camera to capture the fun moments during each challenge.

10. A waterproof Kindle Paperwhite, perfect for the minimalist who craves a good book but dislikes the idea of filling their home with more physical books.

11. A pound of cereal marshmallows, because as much as they love you, they've put up with you picking out all the marshmallows from their box of Lucky Charms for way, way, way too long.

12. A National Geographic geode kit that’s sure to be a ~smashing~ gift. Now pass me those goggles, please!

13. A Baby Yoda Bluetooth speaker with an integrated strap so The Force (and the music) are always by their side.

14. A scavenger hunt via Airbnb Experiences to virtually reunite the crew. If you and your roommates relocated to different states during the pandemic, this will bring everyone back together for a few hours of fun, quirky tasks, virtual rewards, and endless laughter.

15. A craft kit because it’s essentially two gifts in one! They’ll learn basic sewing skills and create a charming fox friend, complete with customizable clothing and accessories.

16. A Grande Cosmetics lash serum that'll give them the look of lash extensions without the hassle of having to make appointments for fill-ins. It's stuffed with amino acids, peptides, and vitamins that may make their lashes look longer and thicker.

17. A Lego movie activity kit if they've watched every episode of Lego Masters and want to put their Lego-building skills to the test. This movie-making kit also challenges their story-building skills while introducing them to the world of stop motion animation.

18. An adorable squishy night light so they can create the perfect ambiance for a relaxing night in after a long day of dealing with people. Cycle between seven colors and light modes with a gentle tap.

19. A cozy Carhartt beanie to keep their head warm throughout the winter months. With so many adorable colors to choose from, you might end up picking one for yourself too!

20. A drone because your nieces and nephews have brought it up in conversation almost every time you’ve talked to them, expressing their desire for one.

21. This Always Pan from Our Place is the perfect blend of style and functionality, featuring a built-in steamer basket, an easy-pour spout, and a nesting spatula.

22. For the adventurous soul, a rock climbing mug that not only challenges their grip strength but will also become their favorite mug, always ready to be grabbed from the front of the cabinet.

23. An Atlas Coffee Club subscription so they don't wake up one morning to make the horrifying discovery that they're out of java. They'll receive freshly roasted single-origin beans or grounds every two or four weeks, ensuring they're always properly caffeinated.

24.The InStyler Glossie is perfect for those with thick, coily hair who want to shorten their straightening routine. The paddle's larger surface area means fewer passes are needed to get straight strands.

25. Consider a Chi automatic curling iron to keep your injury-prone friend's fingers safe from burns. They simply insert their hair into the chamber, and the curler automatically wraps it around the heated rod. It beeps once the curl is set, and that's all there is to it!

26. A Tamagotchi Pix to keep them entertained as they care for a Tamagotchi pet, make new virtual friends, go on play dates, earn Gotchi points, and even take pictures — a fresh new feature!

27. A set of claw clips for a chic and Gen Z-approved way to keep their hair in place. Reviewers rave about their strength and durability, even for thicker hair.

29. A pair of cozy, fleece-lined joggers to keep their legs warm and comfortable, perfect for those who are always feeling cold.

30. A set of two 1,000-piece murder mystery puzzles for testing their detective skills. Once the puzzle is assembled, they can read the included booklet and try to solve the case — who did it?

31. A black bath bomb because goths need a relaxing bath too. Let them retreat from the world and transform their bathroom into a soothing sanctuary. (And don't worry, reviewers assure that it won't stain your tub!)

32. A teeth-whitening pen only if they've directly requested it, like, "Please buy this for me." (Because this is not the moment to surprise your partner with a whitening gift in front of family, potentially leading your in-laws to think you believe your partner's teeth are yellow.) This pen brightens without the discomfort of sliding whitening strips, and each one can be used around 20 times.

33. A wireless transmitter for your jet-setting friend to connect their wireless Bluetooth headphones to wired headphone jacks. That way, they can listen to their favorite TV shows during flights instead of watching The Office in silence.

34. Pixicade — a mobile game creation tool that lets them turn their drawings into animated games they can play on a phone or tablet. That's right, they simply draw, snap a picture, and watch as their creation becomes a playable animated game.
