1. A pair of cherry earrings, because there's something unyieldingly coquettish about a classic, bright red cherry. If your giftee is obsessed with either Sabrina Carpenter or Lana Del Rey, this'll most likely fit their cute, vintage vibe.

Promising review: "I have sensitive ears and only wear light earrings. These are light, were fine in my ears, and I got so many compliments. I adore them! Highly suggest!" —Emily J. Fuller

Price: $9.99 for a two-pack

2. And an initial necklace that's as close to getting a personalized gift as you can get without dropping "personalized"-type cash.

Amazon

Promising review: "The best necklace I’ve ever had!!! It’s the perfect size and length, so dainty! I was worried about the gold fading (because it’s so wonderfully affordable), but it hasn’t — not even a little bit!!! I’ve worn it every single day for about a month now, even accidentally wore it in a pool for a little bit, but nothing happened, and it’s never been damaged! Has become such a staple for me and my everyday outfit, don’t feel complete without it anymore." —Brittany Burrahm

Price: $13.99 (available in 26 letters and two styles)

3. A set of mini cheese boards, because what's better than a cheese board? Customized cheese boards, that's what. Your sibling can use this to wow guests with their spread, yes, but it's also great for serving different items for guests with different food allergies or restrictions!

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "What I like about this product: You can literally make any food look fancy if you were to put it on the slate. Six slats in a set means this is perfect for tapas and sushi presentation or any sort of dry appetizer, cheese, etc. The list goes on and on to wherever your imagination leads. You can write down and label each slate with the chalk that comes in the set. For example, you can label what kind of cheese it is on the slate. You can also write down whose creation it was if you were to have a sushi-making party, like I did. I don’t have a single thing I don’t like about this. All I can say is this is a really good purchase. Don’t be hesitant. JUST BUY IT. YOU WILL LOVE IT!!" —I Tried and Reviewed It

Price: $22.99

4. A pack of 18 pearly hair barrettes that works overtime to both 1. create an easy hairstyle for your low-effort bestie, and 2. add a cute pearly touch to their outfits.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Better than I expected. The "pearls" are snuggly placed on the very sturdy pins. I have no concerns about the pearls popping off. Also, I have curly hair, but through some weird trickery, I have never had a hair get snagged in between the pearls. I was fully prepared to have to suffer at the end of the night by ripping these out of my head and sacrificing a few strands, but I still have not had to!" —Brianna De Armas

Price: $8.97

5. Aduck tote bag, because dorm life is back in session, y'all! Your kid can use this for anything, from bringing books to class to wearing it as a purse as they venture into town. Its cute little feet add a touch of personality to an otherwise pretty durable bag.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "You won’t find a better tote bag anywhere else. I would commit crimes for this tote bag if I had to. Every time I look at the little duck feet hanging off, I feel such immense amounts of joy that it makes me feel sick. The little duck face is akin to what I imagine angels look like: friendly and serene." —Sam Kling

Price: $14.99 (available in four styles and two sizes)

6. A cocktail ring set, just in case your boo is about wearing more vintage-looking jewelry than the typical diamond rings and tennis bracelets. This comes as a stack — they can wear the colorful gem alone during the day and then stack the white stone crescent ring during special occasions.  

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "First, let me say I LOVE THIS RING!!!! I wear it all the time. I've been wearing it for over a month now, and in the beginning, I tried to take it off when doing dishes, showering, and washing my hands. After about two weeks, I just decided to leave it on, and it has been fine. I never take it off; the ring is true to size. It's not too thin or thick, feels great on, and it is durable. The only con is that the stones can sometimes look cloudy. Other than that, I love it, couldn't be happier, it's great for the price and I am very pleased." —tracy k revels

Price: $18.99+ (available in five sizes and four colors)

7. A portable white noise machine that is a necessity for anyone about to bring a smol hooman into this world. Your new parent-friend will use this pretty much every day to lull their baby to sleep. There are a few new babies in my circle, and the parents I know use white noise machines to drown out the clatter from chores that they do while their baby is asleep (goodbye, waking up a sleeping baby with the clanking sounds from washing dishes).

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "We use it at night, during the day at home, and even on the go. With our first baby, we had white noise on our phones; this just makes our lives so much easier. We just leave it next to the baby with a timer, and she sleeps for a few hours." —Tatiana Figueiredo

"This product has been a lifesaver! Our child LOVES the sound of rain/white noise, and this has calmed her down in the car seat sooooo much. She dislikes the car seat, and the portable machine has made our lives easier. We used it about every day for a month before the batteries finally died. Worth the money 100%." —Brianna

Price: $19.99

8. A set of silicone baby bottles, because you're vying for the spot of "best gift-giver" for your cousin's new kid. Not only are these reallllyyyyy cute — they're also dishwasher safe!

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I decided to try these bottles because I was looking for a new brand of silicone bottle. These are easy to clean. My baby can hold them more easily than other bottles because of the unique design. The flow seems to be good for her, and they look cool. I like that the parts which come in contact with my baby’s formula and hot water are plastic-free." —danizorz

Price: $15.89 for a three-pack (available in two sizes and eight colors)

Promising review: "As an avid Lego enthusiast, I've had the pleasure of building numerous sets over the years, but this one stands out as a masterpiece.

I love plants, so the attention to detail in this set had my heart!" —Jami

14. A 5-in-1 Edgelift Curl Brush, because your friend's curls are just waiting to live in their ultimate natural glory! This brush separates and defines waves, curls, and coils to give a boost of natural shape and volume.

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Best brush hands down, I am a mixed girl with thick curly hair, and when I run this brush through my hair wet, it does magic. My curls after using this in the shower to detangle are amazing, then I use my choice of product to style it row by row, and it gives me bouncy curls that help cover more scalp but separate effectively. It's extremely sturdy. I break brushes all the time, and this one lasts!!!" —Janay K 

Price: $29.99(available in four colors)

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "Absolutely love these fuzzy wuzzy slippers! Not only are they very cute and a little bit glam, but they are also really comfortable with memory foam soles. I bought my first pair in cream and loved them so much that I bought another pair for myself and three pairs for my mom, sister, and niece, who all loved them, too! They're great for inside and out, and I appreciate them keeping my feet warm when I take my dogs out in our yard. Great price, good looking, and washing machine-friendly on a cold, delicates wash. Can't recommend them enough!" —Amazon Customer

"I love them. I wear mine around my dorm, and they are so comfy. Might get another color for when I am home. I got the gray, they are so pretty." —Briana Durbin

Price: $15.29+ (available in sizes 5–13 and 15 colors)

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I brought this laundry bag for my friend's daughter. She is a college student. It is so convenient to be able to carry this like a backpack and leave your hands free. Since there's no way to stabilize folded clothes, just throw everything from the dryer directly in there. The wide and comfortable shoulder straps distribute the weight on her back it almost felt lighter because of the weight distribution. Highly recommend it!" —yanqing huang

Price: $16.99 (available in 10 colors)

19. An under-the-desk cup holder so that your giftee can devote more desk space to their work! This attaches to any desk, has a spill-proof design, and even has a hook for headphones!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This holder works perfectly for my needs. There is room for a coffee cup handle to stick out, and a solid bottom that prevents leaks, along with a small 'cushion' that acts as a nonskid device. It attaches with a plastic vise (for attaching to a desk, or, in my case, a hospital table), which seems durable enough. All in all, I am pleased with this purchase. It's functional, nice to look at, and I should think that it will last a long while. I give 5 stars." —Charles Duellio

Price: $18.99 (available in three colors)

Promising review: "Must-have for college students. Bought them for finals week and they truly saved my eyes.

Will definitely be using these even more in the coming months as I start law school!" —HLM
