The holidays are finally here, and what a year it's been! While we’re doing our best to ensure that the products we highlight arrive on time, shipping delays are especially tricky this year. We recommend shopping as early as possible.
Shipping times and stock availability can vary depending on your location, the product you choose, and more. So, it’s wise to order earlier than expected and double-check the retailer’s site for the latest shipping updates to ensure your gift arrives when you need it.
1. A bidet attachment — it might be exactly what’s needed for those who go through an incredible amount of TOILET PAPER.
2. A reinforced umbrella to bring a touch of blue sky, even when it’s cloudy outside.
3. A rechargeable lighter for the candle lover who can’t get enough gadgets (sometimes both can be true!). Who needs lighter fluid when you’ve got this?
4. A candle wick trimmer to keep that premium candle in perfect condition and extend its burn time.
5. A set of LED lightsaber chopsticks that they'll find every reason to use. Time to get some sushi again!
A Baby Yoda dishwasher magnet to help the family keep track of whether that dish has been licked clean or properly washed. This is essential to avoid confusion!
An odor-neutralizing candle that's superior to any other, especially for households with multiple pets or for those who enjoy cooking aromatic meals.
Poo-Pourri — it may seem like a joke gift at first, but it quickly becomes one of the most practical items in any bathroom (right up there with toilet paper and plumbing). Perfect for a 'stocking stuffer' surprise!
The MakeupEraser cloth helps remove a full face of makeup without the waste of disposable wipes or damaging your good washcloths. As someone who swears by these, I can tell you it’s a game-changer!
A tangle-taming brush that any parent with a kid full of hair will appreciate. It transforms the post-bath routine into something almost enjoyable. And adults love it too! Plus, reviewers with 4C hair rave about it!
A tactical writing pen with a point sharp enough to break glass or defend against an attacker when necessary. It's like turning the pen into a sword, but let’s hope it’s used more for writing than glass-breaking.
An iced tea tumbler that lets them serve and sip tea all day long while staying on the go. Plus, it’s dishwasher-safe for added convenience!
Promising review: "I love making fresh iced tea by the cup! I can choose whatever flavor I’m in the mood for, and it’s so easy!" —Lynn Drong. Get it from Mytour's Goodful line on Amazon for $14.40. Shipping available on Amazon Prime with two-day shipping. Non-Prime options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping details here).
A pair of vegan Dr. Martens boots that are easier to break in than their leather counterparts (at least according to my sources). They’re versatile, matching everything in your wardrobe, making them a timeless choice—just maybe not for the beach.

14. Phonesoap, a device you may have seen on Shark Tank, that not only charges your phone but also sanitizes it at the same time. It works for any item that fits inside, such as reading glasses too!
15. A budget monthly tracker that works effortlessly in Google Sheets for those who prefer to manage their finances digitally, helping them keep track of every (digital) penny spent.
BudgetGirlGoods / Etsy
This Etsy shop is run by Budget Girl, one of my favorite YouTubers who documented paying off $33,000 in debt (watch the video here!) and has set up 7 (yes, seven!) income streams (check out the video here!). Needless to say, her advice is solid!

17. This *waterproof* diaper bag is designed to look like a regular, super stylish backpack. It’s something that both expecting and current parents will truly appreciate. It’s so fashionable, you might even want to buy one for the adults in your family who don’t have kids. Trust me, they’ll love it!
18. This *buzz-worthy* electric toothbrush is budget-friendly and will surely make their dentist happy. I use one for travel and absolutely love it.

They’ll be thrilled to avoid hearing ‘Why is this your tile-cleaning toothbrush?’ when they go for their dental check-ups. The Quip won our budget pick for the best electric toothbrush. It’s ADA-approved and comes with a subscription so they can get fresh brush heads regularly.

A water flosser is a perfect gift for anyone with braces, crowns, or someone who despises flossing but is tired of hearing about it from their dentist.

A cleaning pen that delicately restores the sparkle of jewelry. This affordable yet highly useful gift is perfect for anyone recently engaged and showing off their ring.
Italian stemless wine glasses that are incredibly durable and won’t break. Seriously, I’ve witnessed them in action. Which is great because, remember when you broke one of their wine glasses the last time you visited? Yeah, that.
It gets even better! These Italian wine glasses are dishwasher-safe! You can grab a set of four from Snowe for just $50. Shipping info: Standard ground shipping takes 2-7 business days for a flat rate of $5, with expedited options available at an additional cost.

Suede moccasins lined with cozy sherpa, perfect for indoor lounging but with an outdoor sole for quick tasks like taking out the trash or running to the store.
Promising review: "I bounce sizes depending on shoe brands, usually between 10.5 and 11. I bought the 12, and it gave me a little extra toe room, which I love after a long day on my feet. The cushioned insole is fantastic, and the soles are quiet on hardwood floors and non-slippery on stairs. These slippers don’t flop around as I walk, and the tag can be tucked under if it bothers you. Great product." —Scott in NC. Get them from Cabela's for $31.97+ (sizes 8-14). Shipping info: Expedited shipping available.
Blue-light-blocking glasses to ease eye strain for someone who spends all day in front of a computer and then scrolls Instagram for an hour before bed every night. They don’t require a prescription, but they’ll certainly get some compliments and questions about where to get them.

A 20-inch snow thrower makes clearing snow pathways easier, especially if you may not be around during the next heavy snowfall. It’s an excellent group gift idea, too!
Promising review: "I bought this in September to save my back, and I’m so glad I did! Northern Virginia recently experienced one of the five worst snowstorms on record, with over 24 inches of snow. We used the snow thrower a few times on fresh snow, and it worked wonderfully. For the final cleanup, which was about 20 inches, it was a bit slower and required multiple passes, but it performed excellently. I would definitely buy this again!" — Dobbie. Available on Amazon for $146.12, with shipping expected by Christmas. For full shipping details, visit Amazon.
