1. Arotating whisk blender for your cousin who has been perfecting their perfect omelet for months now. This nifty kitchen find makes it easier for them to get airy eggs or light-as-air cream without all the heavy work of traditional whisking — all they have to do is press this blender into their ingredients and watch it whisk away.

Promising review: "This is one of the coolest gizmos I’ve purchased! And it works like a charm, especially for scrambled eggs. I’ve always struggled with getting the egg white and yolk blended well together. This tool does the trick. I found it most effective with liquids. Any kind of sauce or salad dressing can be well blended with this tool, too." —Austin

Price: $16.89

2. A Better Breader Bowl is definitely that type of gift that no one receives but everyone needs. This breader bowl makes breading individual pieces of meat, fish, or tofu a thing of the past — all your giftee has to do is put all their protein or veggies into one vessel, their seasonings and breading into the other vessel, close the lid and shake! 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This thing is awesome! Breading anything makes such a mess in my kitchen, but I absolutely loved being able to do everything in one container. I only tried a dry rub, but I was so impressed with how evenly it coated. Plus, being dishwasher-safe was a major bonus. Seriously considering getting some for gifts." —Susanne C.

Price: $14.99

3. A Baby Shusher for the new parent you know who, at this point, forgot what it's like to have a full night's rest. This is a great tool to have on hand for babies who seem to cry out loud as soon as they transition from falling asleep in a person's arms to being put to sleep in their crib.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I was so tired of 'shushing.' Literally, I shushed so hard and for so long, it made me light-headed. My baby has serious FOMO and fights naps like the plague. This helps so much! Even during the worst fits, this helps calm her, and she's out in minutes. Great for the car too!" —Jami

Price: $34.99

4. A set of faux coffee table books inspired by the Assouline travel series (bougie!) but at a fraction of the cost.

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "The color of these books is actually more vivid and beautiful in person. I’m thrilled with how it looks on the shelf — plus it’s a very good hiding spot. I would 100% recommend these for anyone looking to add color to their home." —elishiva

Price: $30.99

6. A bagless, touchless stationary vacuum, because your parent spends a ton of time tidying their home, and darn it, they will not succumb to accepting that small line of dirt that their dustpan leaves behind. 

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "This is my second EyeVac. I use it in my salon. It is very difficult to sweep up tiny fragments of hair with a regular dustpan and broom. The EyeVac eliminates that problem — all the small particles are sucked into the machine. And it is quite easy to dump out when it is full!" —Christy Palmer

Price: $199(available in five colors)

7. A set of Kitsch's Zig Zag Headbands for your friend who loves '90s hairstyles,  but doesn't have time in the AM for the various clips and pins that were vital to hairstyles back in the day.

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "If you don’t have this headband, you need it! I haven’t stopped wearing it since I bought it! I’ve had so many people compliment it and order one because of how simple but cute it is! I have medium-thickness hair, and it holds my hair out of my face. The quality is great, and it stays put all day. Wouldn’t use for working out but great for everyday wear!" —Morgan

"Saw these on TikTok and knew they were worth buying. I was right love them!!!" —Debbie Ladnier

Price: $7.99 (available in two colors)

8. A microwave bacon cooker, because frying up a few simple strips of bacon can be cumbersome when considering all the pans, tools, and grease splatter that become a part of clean-up time. This is great for your friend who loves to put bacon on everything, from their breakfast spreads to their homemade smash burgers.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Such a simple concept and works amazingly well! I will never cook bacon any other way again. Made crispy, delicious bacon quickly with little to no mess in the microwave. You can fit a whole pound on it at once, but it does take longer to cook. I preferred to cook half a pound at a time for 8 minutes. Easy. Fast. Delicious. No mess. Love this product." —Allysha Austin

Price: $17.99

9. A light-up flying orb if your kid needs something to do during no-screen-time hours. This is kind of like if a boomerang and a UFO had a baby — your giftee can just toss this away from them in any direction and watch as the orb magically floats back to them!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Santa left this under the tree for my 9-year-old son, and he LOVES it! So easy to use and takes only a few tries to figure out the boomerang effect! So fun, my parents, his grandparents joined in and we had a blast with it! If you are thinking about purchasing this, DO IT!! And the charge life is not bad either. Lasts long enough to give you breaks!!" —Kerri

"When my son received this, he was excited! I saw this on TikTok and surprised him with it! Was not disappointed with the quality and how it worked! Will definitely purchase again!!" —Jindee

10. A set of Bachan's Japanese Barbecue Sauce, because your parents can't stop raving about their newfound love of all things ~umami~. They can use this BBQ sauce as a condiment, marinade, or even seasoning for dishes like stir fry or donburi.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Worth the hype. This is absolutely delicious and full of umami. It's so tasty on stir-fry with rice and makes it taste more like hibachi. I warmed up leftover restaurant brisket in a skillet and tossed a little of this on it at the end and let it caramelize, and it was outrageously good. The flavor is hard to describe. It's savory and salty like the sauce that comes with Chinese dumplings, but not quite that. And there are notes of barbecue sauce, but not heavy or overly sweet." —John Flora

Price: $23.98 (available in nine flavors and several combo packs)

11. A set of resistance bands is perfect for your fitness-loving cousin who just moved to a new city apartment and no longer has the space for a full-on at-home gym.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I’m so happy with this purchase! I have found other workout bands to be annoying and slip or roll, but these bands always stay put! The fabric is wonderful, and the three different strengths are perfect. I have been using them daily and highly recommend them to anyone looking to enhance their workouts!" —sharon kelley

Price: $12.98+ for a three-pack (available in three color combinations)

www.amazon.com

According to the Mayo Clinic, “up to 400 milligrams of caffeine appears to be safe for most healthy adults,” but you should talk to your doctor about what’s right for you.

Promising review: "So let me start by saying that this coffee is delicious and works if you’re someone like me who wants to stay awake. I work night shifts at a hospital, and in the mornings, when I get home, I’m quite tired and sleepy. I made myself a cup of coffee and waited for it to work. Now let me tell y’all!!! This coffee kept me awake for hours!! BOY, WAS I WOWED INDEED…best believe I went ahead and ordered three more boxes. This is now my to-go coffee if I need a BOOST!!!!!! If you like coffee and want to stay awake, then BUY THIS COFFEE!!! I’m happy I no longer have to take naps to get re-energized." —nancy

Price: $10.99 for an eight-pack

13. A Scoopie, which will be welcome with open arms by all gym enthusiasts in your life. This is great for turning any bottle into a protein shake container with its compact spout. But if your pal still prefers their wide blender bottle, this pours protein powder way more gently than a traditional scoop, meaning less puffs of dust whenever they put their protein powder into their cup!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This is perfect for adding powders to your water bottle. I was originally just looking for a small plastic funnel, but I like this because you could also take it with you for later." —Nancy S. Bass

Price: $9.99 for a two-pack

14. A Baby Brezza Formula Pro Advanced, because when a baby is screaming (and I mean SCREAMING) out for their food, it can feel like Mission Impossible to get a bottle to them as quickly as possible. This is basically like a Nespresso machine for your sibling's newborn — this mixes and dispenses formula with the touch of a button.

Amazon, Heather Braga / BuzzFeed

Promising review: "This thing has saved me and my wife so much time! When she first suggested we get this thing, I was on the fence, but now I’m so glad we bought it. Our baby doesn’t like to wait to eat, and this makes it quick and easy to make him a bottle. This thing also saves you money by not buying the liquid formula, too. You’ll get your money back with this thing. Trust me." —史蒂文琴

Price: $198

15. A set of compression packing cubes that are super light, durable, and, above all, CUTE! Get this for your friend who is in their "I just want to travel a bit before settling down" era.

www.amazon.com

This set comes with one large cube, two medium cubes, two small cubes, and one drawstring bag. 

Promising review: "These packing cubes helped to keep my clothing organized in my suitcase. They compressed my items and gave me a little more room in the suitcase. They are mesh construction, so you can see what is inside. Easy zippers. Expandable. Sturdy." —Mary 

Price: $31.99 (available in four colors)

16. A Bentgo stackable lunch container, because your work spouse deserves the space to present their lunch beautifully! This has different compartments for sauces, salads, and proteins.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I absolutely love these salad containers. My fiancé and I have big appetites, but try to eat healthy. These containers fit a ton of salad greens and all sizes of toppings — nuts, beans, cheese, fruits, meats, pasta, etc. They make packing lunch easy. Just throw in some greens, a protein, a dressing, and toppings that make salad fun for you! We use ours several times per week, and they make it to both our jobs without spilling or leaking. I walk and ride public transit, so mine gets tossed around a bit. Several of my friends and coworkers have bought them after seeing mine!" —Amazon Customer

Price: $14.98+ (available in eight colors)

17. A four-pack of silicone straw soda can lids is the perfect gift for anyone who plans on being on the water basically every day this summer. This makes any can into an adult version of a sippy cup, and even has a cap for its straw to keep liquids in!

Amazon

Promising review: "I purchased this to cover soft drinks for when we are outside to prevent bugs from getting into our drinks. They fit perfectly on the cans. My daughter keeps it in her bag for when she goes to her friend's house, so she knows which drink is hers. This is a great idea and an even better find!" —Specialk948

Price: $15.99

18. A copy of Maybe Swearing Will Help coloring book so that your friend can tell people how they really feel in colorful ways — literally!

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "I’ve been wanting a sturdy and cute beach bag that was not mesh and or a basic tote. This is it! It comes with a dry bag for phone. The handles are thick. The iridescent color looks so cool in the sun and it’s the perfect size. I fit two towels, a sunscreen bag, two changes of clothes, a speaker, goggles, and snacks. With extra room too. I love the new silver black color but this purple was on sale so I went for it. Matches perfectly with my black swimsuit." —Daniela G 

Price: $63.99+ (available in four styles)
