A crystal wine decanter that’ll definitely help them impress their dinner guests.
Amazon
Promising review: “Love, love, love, love, love. Did I mention I love this? It’s elegant yet simple. The drying rack is seriously the greatest thing. It comes out clean every time and no need to dry it or find a way to twist a towel in the side. It’s great. and the wine always tastes better once it’s been in the glass. Would 100% recommend.” —LpaulaD
A set of silky-soft satin pillowcases designed to help keep their hair from frizzing, their skin from breaking out, and their dreams sweet.
Amazon
Promising review: “I love this SOOO MUCH! The hype for silk pillowcases is real! I have a FULL head of hair that is very long, which has also been processed to death. Since my hair is always so dry due to all of the color processes, I like to air-dry it to save it from being damaged further by the heat. Well, my hair would always look like a frizzy mess the morning after, even though I saturated my hair with leave-in treatments and treatment oils. Finally, I decided to try out a silk pillowcase and I’m obsessed! I can now rock my air-dry hair the next morning without looking like I have a rat’s nest on my head. The only thing I wish this had is zippers. Since silk is slippery, the cover tends to fall off the pillows often. Other than that, this is perfect. I’m going to bring a pillowcase with me when I travel!” —Rubicant
Get the set of two from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in standard, queen, and two king sizes and in 24 colors).

Promising review: “I was seriously made fun of for buying a face mask for $39, but this is SO worth it! The mask is super comfortable and breathable. Half the battle of wearing a mask is how long you can bear the uncomfortable feeling of building sweat due to feeling constrained by the mask. I haven’t experienced that at all with this mask! No one likes wearing a mask, but this one is bearable to wear for a longer period of time. I’ve also gotten a lot of compliments on it! It’s so pretty (I got the pink one)!” —Stail

Great for picnics and BYOBs. Plus it DOES NOT LEAK!” —C. Glidden

Promising review: “Like most other reviewers, I am EXTREMELY PLEASED with these gloves. They are as soft as butter and warm to boot! I have pretty small hands, but not tiny — the ‘one size fits most gloves’ are typically a little big on me and long in the fingers. Based on other reviews, I ordered both the medium and small sizes of these gloves. The small were a much better fit. For reference, I wear a small size in lab gloves (can wear XS, but don’t like a super tight fit).

Amazon
Promising review: “These scrunchies are awesome! They’re so soft and I was surprised at the good quality of the elastic. I wasn’t expecting much but these are definitely a step-up. I have wavy/curly hair about medium thickness, and two wraparounds was enough for a firm hold. Not too tight but also it doesn’t feel like it’s going to slip off. It also works great as a bracelet — you could literally match them with any outfit because of the variety of colors. A great value buy when stores are selling three scrunchies for the same price!” —X.E.

A fluffy and lightweight faux fur throw blanket, because winter is here and they need to be ready.
Amazon
Promising review: “I started off calling this the Jon Snow blanket because it reminded me of the fluffy cape he wears, but now my family and I refer to it simply as Jon Snow. My house knows no blanket except for the king of the blankets named Stark. Also, be forewarned, if you have any direwolves they will immediately take over Jon Snow and he will no longer belong to you. My little direwolf did this the first day I got Jon Snow. I’m considering ordering a second one just for myself now. My direwolf likes to get into mischief around the house when I shower, but if I put Jon Snow in the bathroom, my little wolf will curl up on him and behave the whole time. Jon Snow is beautiful and soft on both sides and great to cuddle with. He is also machine-washable and dry-able and comes out looking just like new. Just make sure you wash him in cold water and tumble dry him on low heat. He is from the North, after all.” —Samantha A

A set of festive tree-branch hairpins that’ll help add a little whimsy to their updo.
Amazon
Promising review: “These are so cute I can’t stand it. The smaller two pins really hold my hair in place, while the larger branch is a gorgeous decoration. For a big day or elaborate updo, it’d probably be a good idea to supplement with regular bobby pins just for peace of mind. I got them in gold, but these barrettes are so fun that I’m considering getting them in every finish available. Very pretty and not at all cheap-looking, considering the very affordable price.” —P. S. Crane

A glass and stainless-steel tea infuser, because maybe they aren’t so into coffee.
Amazon
Promising review: “This is a beautiful little pot. It’s the perfect size for one or two people. It’s surprisingly lightweight, but not fragile. I was afraid to pour hot water in it at first, but no need to worry. I’ve never had a glass teapot before, and now, for the first time, I can really see the beautiful colors of my favorite teas. I love seeing the tea in the spout. the infuser allows for a perfect brew. It’s perfect for that late evening relax before going to bed. Quiet time cup of tea!. Highly recommended.” —Elvira

A pair of ultra-cozy flannel pajamas, because while everyone else is getting all dressed up, the dress code for where they’re going is a little more lax.
Amazon
Promising review: “I got a pair of these in a size medium for Christmas 2016 and I have worn and washed them a lot. Some shrinkage but very little and not enough that it matters to me. I ordered myself another pair for Christmas 2017 in the same size because I love this brand and I could count on the size fitting me — and I like to get pajamas at Christmas. I wear size 6-8 pants, med tops, so size medium in these PJs is spot on. The quality of these is excellent. The flannel is really nice quality too. Highly Recommend!!” —JJenkins

A really pretty set of ceramic condiment bowls so they can think fondly of you every time they chow down on chicken fingers with honey mustard.
Amazon
Promising review: “These are so beautiful, but one arrived broken. They are extremely fragile, so we will be handwashing when we use them.” —Amanda Hance
A portable Bluetooth speaker designed with a hands-free function, built-in mic, and enhanced bass.
Amazon
Promising review: “I. Love. This. Speaker!! First of all it is GORGEOUS! I got it in the rose gold, which is the same as my iPhone, and it is soo cute! It has a matte finish, a very pleasant and satisfying shape, large touch power-on, volume, and pairing-up buttons on the underside, and an adorable blue light ring around the base that helps it communicate with my Echo Dot (which I bought it specifically to pair with). Pairing the two was pretty easy and this is coming from a non-tech-minded person. The sound…the SOUND is incredible!! It is so small and portable, so delicious to look at, and plays music so well that I would not hesitate to get more as gifts, especially for the price.” —Helene N.

A scratch-off world map to help mark off all their adventures (or your adventures together).
Amazon
Promising review: “I love this map. I have always wanted to keep track of the countries/states/provinces I’ve traveled to and this is the perfect way for me to see what next adventure I need to head off to. I saw this at my nephew’s home and he gifted it to me. It’s a great gift to give to a young adult not only to understand countries and locations, but also to allow them to dream and as they begin their travels to remind them of where they’ve been. A truly great product!” —Pat Obuchowski

A very VERY very handy lip gloss carrier and mirror designed to hold four of their favorite, go-to glosses in one easy to find place — no more searching all-around their purse!
Promising review: “Love this case. Fits a couple of lip glosses or sticks or mini mascaras. Has a card slot that you could put a credit card or business card in. Nice mirror. It’s a very pretty color.” —Jess

A plunging velvet party dress for when Ms. Claus is ready for a risque makeover.
Amazon
Promising review: “I love everything about this dress. I purchased for NYE and it fit perfectly. I’m 5’5, bigger-busted, normally wear a 12/Large and it was so flattering and forgiving! Not too form-fitting and hugged in all the right places. Definitely had cleavage but okay for a special night out! I would buy it again. A girl in the bathroom said I had all of Stevie Nicks’ vibes.” —Dana D Troglen

A stackable set of geometrically shaped storage trays they can potentially use as plates in a very beautiful table setting.
Amazon
Promising review: “I purchased these trays for food displays. They are thin and pretty small but everything looked great on them! They definitely can’t handle anything incredibly heavy so in the future I’d use them as decorative trays for utensils/napkins or cheese platters but you can’t beat the price. I love the colors.” —melissa houghtalin

A pair of ultra-comfortable waterproof rain boots, because their feet are already trekking through the rain — the least you can do is put them in a cute pair of boots.
Amazon
Promising review: “Adorable pink color rain boots. The pink is perfect. The best part about these boots is they don’t smell. Usually, rain boots have an unwanted plastic smell. These pairs don’t. The boots however do run a bit big — I usually wear a 6.5 and I ordered a 6.” —Hui Huang

A chic bottle of Truff Hot Sauce made with a very meticulous blend of ripe red chili peppers, real black truffle, organic agave nectar, and savory spices that’ll go with every dish they love.
Amazon
Promising review: “I bought this as a gift for my brother-in-law so I have not yet tested it myself. But he has texted me twice in 24 hours to tell me how ‘obsessed’ he is with this sauce. I asked him tonight what he put it on and he said: ‘Everything, just ate it with chicken and roasted cauliflower.’ I also received a message from his wife raving about it. I’m now curious and will be ordering a bottle for myself. By the way, part of the draw for me was all the reviews complaining of the sweet taste. I love sweetness in my hot sauces, salsas, and BBQ sauce.” —Tina Lynn
A pair of celestial glass pearl-and-crystal Kate Spade earrings designed to be a little different from one another — basically making them way more fun.
A holiday-inspired Nest candle that smells like the perfect blend of pomegranate, Mandarin orange, pine, cloves and cinnamon with a hint of vanilla and amber.
Amazon
Promising review: “A wonderful scent! I cannot say enough good things about this candle. It burns slow and steady, I’ve lit it now several nights in a row and there’s barely a dent in it. I believe longevity will be good. The scent is wonderful, smells just like the holidays, and is not overpowering. I’ve received compliments from friends who’ve stopped by when I have it burning.” —N.

A plush hooded cardigan coat they could probably use as a robe but will definitely wear as a cushy jacket.
Amazon
Promising review: “It’s a super-soft, comfy material as anticipated and the fit is a bit oversized like I thought it would be. Just to be clear, I’m super petite (5’ tall and weigh almost 100 lbs.) so I expected the small size to fit me just a little big but it’s perfect. I would definitely order again.” —Renee DeLoza
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes S-XXL and in eight styles).
