If Your Love Language Is All About Giving Gifts, Wow Someone With One Of These 28 Surprising Presents

1. The Blockbuster Game — a nostalgic "board game" that’ll transport them back to the good old days of browsing the aisles at a movie rental store, all while testing their cinema knowledge. It's a race to see who can describe, quote, and act out three movies the fastest. Play it once, and I'm sure everyone will want to hit "rewind."

2. A "flaming" humidifier that will surely impress book lovers who crave a touch of ambiance and the perfect cozy, fire-like atmosphere to complement their reading experience.

3. A crowd-pleasing bottle of  Sniffingtons flavored bubbles that will add excitement to playtime with their pet. Watch as their lively furry friend chases and pops bubbles to their heart’s delight! The formula is non-sticky, so no need to worry about goo on the floor or fur once the fun ends.

4. A butterfly puddler that will bring a touch of charm and artistry to their garden. This small plate is designed to collect dew and is crafted with minerals that butterflies find especially inviting. Place this beautiful piece in their garden, and watch as butterflies and other pollinators flock to their flowers!

5. Burn After Writing — a guided journal that tens of thousands swear by as a tool for anger management and self-discovery. Let your anxious friend work through this series of thought-provoking questions and exercises, then watch them take pleasure in destroying it! Fire and brimstone, baby! 

6. A 1965 edition of Mystery Date (which I personally own and adore) for those who know that playing a date night game is far more entertaining than the games played on actual dates.

7. A TikTok remote control ring so they can browse TikToks without touching their phone. They can even "heart" videos with it! Pair it with a neck mount and they can spend hours sending you videos without straining their neck from looking down for too long.

8. A sleek fruit bowl/colander — with this handy piece, users can simply place their produce in the stylish bowl and wash it all in one go! The built-in drain removes excess water. Three cheers for time-saving, life-hack gifts!

9. The Boba Book: Bubble Tea and Beyond — written by authors Andrew Chau and Bin Chen, this book offers a collection of creative boba recipes that allow readers to skip the instant mixes and craft unique drinks with care (and better ingredients), honoring this internationally loved beverage style.

10. A scratch-off poster featuring 100 iconic dishes from across the globe, perfect for your food-loving friend who spends their days dreaming of tasting new cuisines.

11. A chocolate cake — a quirky gift (with a shelf life of nine months!) that’s guaranteed to bring a smile to anyone's face.

12. A pre-wrapped candle that’ll save you when you're short on time but still want your friend to feel special.

13. Tattoo Stories is my latest game night favorite, partly because it takes only seconds to learn! In this game, one person plays the "customer" and chooses five elements for their ideal tattoo, while the other players act as "tattoo artists" who have three minutes to sketch a tattoo based on those elements. Afterward, they pitch their designs to the customer. It's sure to be hilarious, especially if your drawing skills are as questionable as mine. 

14. A portable sparkling water maker that lets them add a cartridge, twist on the cap, and watch as their water turns into bubbly perfection! It’s a glimpse into the future, where hydration is far from dull. 

15. A classic Tamagotchi for the tech-savvy romantics who would appreciate a nostalgic trip down memory lane. Here’s hoping they’ll have better luck keeping this one alive than the, uh, six they had as kids.

16. A portable ping-pong set that instantly transforms their dining table into the ultimate hangout spot (even if there’s no food to be found). My husband and I are huge ping-pong fans and bought this set for our Brooklyn apartment. We play it every single day. It’s turned our tiny dining room into the perfect escape from work. 

17. The Art of Feminism is a perfect addition to your feminist friend's bookshelf, offering them something fresh to show off. 

18. A salt shooter designed for the person who’s eager to take down the most elusive of targets — the housefly. Or they can use it to add a bit of excitement to their meals by seasoning in a thrilling new way.

19. A muslin blanket that will add both comfort and style to their minimalist living room.

20. A flexible lamp that stays in place and is sure to bring a smile to their face when the day is feeling a little ruff.

25. An infinity vase — a stunning piece that proves minimalism can have a powerful impact, and a perfect gift for your minimalist friend, showing you know how to pick the perfect present, even if you're a maximalist yourself.

26. A lightsaber wiper blade cover — the ultimate geeky gift for the Star Wars fan in your life who has everything, now that you know this exists to elevate their ride to the next level of fandom.

27. A pocket-sized beer journal for documenting the "appearance, aroma, taste, mouthfeel, and overall impressions" of 124 beers. This thoughtful gift is sure to leave them feeling all bubbly inside.

28. And lastly, a chicken nugget key chain for those brave enough to proudly display their love for nuggets wherever they go.

When they unwrap their present and ask, "What's the occasion?"
