1. A portable fireplace for anyone who dreams of enjoying a warm, flickering fire on cold days but doesn’t have a traditional hearth. It not only adds warmth but also serves as a stylish coffee table centerpiece *AND* doubles as a tool for roasting marshmallows indoors. Santa’s definitely getting s'mores this year.
Flîkr Fire is a small, family-run business offering a personal fireplace powered by isopropyl alcohol, ensuring no carbon monoxide emissions. Just place it on a steady surface, pour in the fuel, clean up any spills, and ignite it with a long-handled lighter or match for 45 minutes of cozy flames.
Promising review: "This compact firepit is fantastic. It’s ideal for intimate dinners or small get-togethers — plus, it’s portable and burns cleanly." —Cheron

Promising review: "This product is amazing. I’d gift it to every coffee enthusiast I know. You can experiment with different coffee flavors for a unique taste with every brew. Designed to sit in the fridge (it’s a cold brew, after all!), it fits perfectly without taking up too much space. The coffee tastes fantastic every single time. It’s simple to use and clean. I can’t imagine starting my day without a refreshing cup of this brew!" —Brooklyn

As a proud maximalist, my apartment is filled with bold, attention-grabbing decor, each piece vying to be the focal point. However, this coffee table has effortlessly claimed the spotlight.

20. A retro-inspired Apple Watch stand for those serious about maintaining their watch's functionality. Even off their wrist, they want it displayed prominently.
21. An Omigo bidet toilet seat will make them feel like they're experiencing pure luxury. Trust me, I speak from personal experience!
I own this bidet toilet seat, and I can't help but rave about it constantly. While I've used bidet attachments in the past, none come close to the versatility of this model. With just a button press, I can adjust the nozzle position, modify the water and seat temperature, activate a fan for drying or odor control, and so much more. If you're looking to indulge, a toilet seat with its own remote is absolutely worth it.
Promising review: "We spent hours researching various bidet seat brands before choosing Omigo. Their website provided clear comparisons between models, making it easy to decide. Our seat arrived promptly, installation was a breeze, and we're thrilled with its performance. The feature list is extensive, and we're delighted with our purchase!" —Arta S.
Shipping info: Free standard shipping takes up to six days, with expedited options available for an extra fee. Returns are accepted anytime within the 90-day trial period.
Get it from Omigo for $499 (available in two styles).
22. An AeroGarden that offers a hassle-free way to cultivate fresh herbs indoors, perfect for their fifth-floor apartment without a garden.
This six-pod kit comes with Genovese basil, curly parsley, dill, thyme, Thai basil, and mint, along with a bottle of plant food. It operates using energy-efficient LED lights that automatically turn on and off daily, requiring no manual intervention. It can grow up to six plants simultaneously, reaching heights of up to 12 inches. Since the plants grow in water instead of soil, there's no mess to clean up.
Promising review: "I have a notorious black thumb, which I think is crucial to mention here. I planted everything on Jan. 3, 2019, and took this photo on Feb. 5, 2019 (above left). The system takes care of itself, and the plants grow a little more each day. It's the highlight of my morning routine — I admire my plants while my coffee brews!" —Kristy Campbell
Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with two-day shipping, and non-Prime options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping details here).
Get it from Mytour's Goodful line on Amazon for $109.95.

28. A brilliant tofu press that allows them to effortlessly drain tofu, achieving the ideal texture and flavor without the mess.
By the way, for locals, TofuBud is a small business headquartered in San Francisco!
Promising review: "Initially, I was hesitant about purchasing a tofu press. Just another kitchen gadget! However, this compact device truly delivers. It’s efficient, mess-free, and incredibly simple to use. I initially preferred something made of wood or metal, but this plastic press is perfect. It’s adorable, easy to clean, and performs its task without soaking towels or requiring extra boiling. My countertop remains spotless. As a lifelong vegetarian, this little tool has quickly become essential." —Maria Lewis

Purchase it from TofuBud for $24.95.
29. An LED floor lamp designed to rotate, transforming the lighting ambiance in any room...I’ll take a dozen!
30. A toilet light designed to provide a soft glow to their porcelain throne, allowing them to navigate the bathroom at night without the harsh glare of overhead lights.
31. An embossing kit that will silence the skeptics by proving just how trendy and exciting crafting can be.
32. A set of lightsaber chopsticks that any devoted Star Wars enthusiast would eagerly covet, regardless of how mature they appear.
33. A truly elegant towel warmer that will add a touch of sophistication to their bathroom *and* deliver the cozy, fresh-from-the-dryer sensation every time they wrap themselves in a warm towel!
34. A salt shooter perfect for someone who relishes the thrill of hunting the world's most annoying pest, the common housefly. Alternatively, it can be used to add a dash of excitement to seasoning their meals.
35. A set of horizontal reading glasses they'll adore for relaxing at home after a long day, allowing them to read or watch TV without the need to sit upright.
36. Lastly, a titanium utility ring equipped with files, saws, screws, pliers, and more. Present this to your significant other, and you — much like this item — are bound to be completely captivated by their charm.
Bruce Boone, the owner, initially crafted bike components from titanium. This led him to create a titanium ring for himself, which soon became a sought-after item among others! Located in Kennesaw, Georgia, his shop is filled with unique pieces that are truly worth the investment. Speaking from personal experience, I purchased one for my husband's birthday! I chose this version and am constantly amazed at how frequently he finds practical uses for it (the GIF above shows him opening a package with his ring). I highly recommend this as a gift or for personal use!
Promising review: "Bruce is truly a masterful engineer and artist. One must handle his creations personally to appreciate the high-level engineering and artistic expression that goes into each piece. This is my third titanium ring from Bruce, and I can confidently say that his rings are unmatched in quality and craftsmanship, especially given the challenges of working with titanium. I have used the first-generation Man Ring during my treks and found it incredibly useful for cutting open thick MRE packs — I still remember the astonished look on my trek buddy's face when I demonstrated the Man Ring, instantly making his six-layer Swiss Army Knife seem less impressive! This holds true for all of Bruce's rings — each one is unique and top-tier...I'm actually struggling to decide which ring to get next from his collection!" —Calvin Thomas
Shipping: The product is expected to arrive within 10 days of purchase.
Available from Boone Rings on Etsy for $395+ (sizes –16, with or without engraving).
Me, pondering how to persuade my husband that horizontal reading glasses are the perfect Christmas gift for me:
