1. A jar of Sichuan Chili Crisp, the immensely popular sauce that's the perfect combination of spicy, slightly numbing, and savory — with a delicious crunch. The foodie on your gift list can drizzle it on their dishes or even fry an egg in it — they basically can't go wrong.

Fly By Jing

Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Brittany Ross has to say: "Ever since my sister introduced me to this heavenly condiment, I've slathered it on pretty much everything I could think of — from roasted vegetables and noodles to seafood and popcorn. It's got a kick, yes, and while I'm a big fan of spicy food, the thing I love most about this chili crisp is that it also has great flavor that doesn't get overpowered by the heat, which happens with so many other spicy condiments. That deep savory flavor comes from ingredients like fermented black bean, shallots, mushroom powder, ginger, and seaweed, so it's no wonder it's become my go-to pantry staple when I want to zhuzh up my dinner. And for the holidays? This makes the BEST gift for the food lover in your life. PS: Some people even swear by it as an ice cream topping!" 

Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

Fly By Jing is an Asian woman-owned small business making flavorful sauces and spice mixes you'll want to add to basically all of your recipes. The name is inspired by Chengdu's (the owner's hometown and the capital of the Sichuan province) "fly restaurants" — so called because they attract customers like flies. The chili crisp sauce is also made in Chengdu.

2. A splurge-worthy rechargeable laser tag set that'll transform their home into gaming central. They can take advantage of those early sunsets and play outside, or turn off all the lights and transform the basement into the laser battleground. The lasers work from up to 150 feet away(!) and have built-in flashlights, and games can be customized with number of players, number of lives, and more. This'd be a total hit with both kids *and* grownups too!

Amazon, www.amazon.com

This set includes four rechargeable guns, four rechargeable vests, and one charging station. You can play approximately eight games per charge. The little LCD screens on the vest keep count of how many lives you have and the vest vibrates when you get tagged. You can play with up to four teams and have to eliminate your enemies to win the game. 

Promising review: "Nana won “best gift" award for this present. The whole family loves it" —Deborah Hall

Promising review: "I am the aunt of five nephews (ages 3, 4, 8, 11, 21) and mother of a 3-year-old boy. I was hesitant to purchase this item as the price is a bit steep. It came almost fully charged so my 11-year-old nephew and I were able to test out it immediately. Upon opening the package the guns and vests were securely encased in foam. My nephew thought it looked great. Instruction were quick and easy to read and understand. We powered up the vest, then the gun as instructed — everything synced nicely. When the gun spoke my nephew's mind was completely blown.🤯 I strapped a vest to my nephew when my 3-year-old son came in the room so of course I had to suit him up as well. Guns and vest were lightweight and size went well on the 11-year-old as well as the 3-year-old. So easy to use, my 3-year-old had no problem reloaded and shooting. The accuracy and distance for gun to target IS GREAT! My son and nephew and myself had such a great time with this set, I got online and purchase another four-player set!" —Rebeccah Walker

PLUS it comes with two vacuum wine stoppers (to preserve freshenss), a foil cutter, and an aerating spout — that's a lot of wine-enthusiast bang for your buck.

Amazon

Push a button and the job is D O N E. It'll open 30 bottles on a single charge, and has a rechargeable base so it's always ready to go. One reviewer is rebuying this exact same wine opener after theirs finally bit the dust — after TEN YEARS of continuous use!

Promising review: "What’s not to like? This electric wine opener has a foil cutter on the back side of the holder, works like a charm, takes the cork off, push the button again, and it brings the cork down so you can retrieve the cork. How cool is that! My husband and I like this so much, we’ve gifted this to our daughter, grandchildren, and friends. Every wine enthusiast will love this! I guarantee you’ll love it as much as we do!!" —Amazon Customer

Amazon

Promising review: "Don't know what the 'flavor' category means with respect to these wine bottle stoppers but the stoppers work as advertised. A local vineyard was using them in their sample room so I assumed that since a vineyard was using them, they would work as advertised and they do. You can lay a wine bottle flat and it won't leak. Nice that it filters out cork crumbs." —Lawrol

Promising review: "Best Christmas gift of 2019. Greatest gadget for wine lovers. I gifted these at Christmas and they were a huge hit. I'm buying more. I know nothing about wine. So it was pure luck this was such a big hit." —Kindle Customer

Amazon, www.amazon.com

It's recommended for players 8 and older.

Here's how to play: Pass out all the cards to the players and keep all the stacks face down. Everyone takes a turn putting a card down in the middle, while saying "taco," "cat," "goat," "cheese," and "pizza," in that order. If the picture on your card matches the word that's said, everyone races against each other to slap their hand on the central pile of cards. Whoever is last must take the pile of cards and add them to their stack, and the person who runs out of cards first wins!

Promising review: "Best gift I've given in years! I bought a set to play with my niece and nephew on vacation. They are 6 and 8, and they loved it. So did grandma.

I use it in my office, and it fills the space nicely. Love the color changes and the fact that I can leave it on pretty much all day. It's very attractive too; I love the wood bottom. If you are looking for a diffuser, STOP LOOKING... this is the one you should get :)" —Sarah Duke

Promising review: "I love this thing! I bought it for my granddaughter, but now I use it all the time for myself. It is quiet, easy to use, and easy to clean. It Does not drench your room with water like many vaporizers. Rather, it expels a light mist of water and scent. I add some eucalyptus or peppermint drops to it, and the light scent and mist really help me sleep better. It's perfect! Considering buying another just to have one for each bedroom." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (available in six styles).

14. A Gravity Maze marble run designed to challenge kiddos to think ahead to figure out how to build paths so the marble can drop down to the final cube. Puzzling and satisfying! The game includes 60 challenges, ranging from beginner to expert, so they can work their way up to the harder ones.

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I bought this after reading the reviews. My grandson, who is six, loves building complex Lego sets, so I thought I would give this a try for him. He loves it. This is wonderful for teaching children positive self-talk and problem-solving. Even though it might take him a while to solve it, when he does and the marble reaches its target, he is thrilled. Yesterday he thanked me for buying his best Christmas gift." —ProfChris1

Promising review: "My daughter loves it. Her older sister loves it even more. Even my parents are intrigued by it. Sometimes, I take it with us when we go out to eat, and we take turns trying to solve it at the table while waiting for food.

Promising review: "Hands-down, the BEST gift I've ever bought! My son is 8, and I bought this while he was at his dad’s for a month and I used it in my bedroom and in the living room every night until he came home.

Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in black and white).

16. A Dyson Ball toy vacuum that actually *has some suction* so that when the kid in your life is mimicking and wants to "help out" around the house, they're actually getting a little bit of vacuuming done. And it'll keep them busy for ages!

Amazon

I was this kid — as a little Virgo child, I begged my mom to let me Swiffer. And btw, there's a storage compartment you can remove that'll hold all the debris your kid picks up.

Promising review: "I bought one for 2-year-old child’s bday gift. Around this age loves pulling and pushing, this is perfectly developmentally appropriate material. Plus it does look like a real Dyson and sucks some real dust. It was absolutely the best gift from the party, the child dragged it all over the backyard. Once he put it down, he’s 2-year-old cousin played for next hour until he claimed it back. His parents were very happy too that he learns how to help round at home." —Kim

Promising review: "Our son is absolutely obsessed with our Dyson (the real one), which is why we purchased this toy Dyson vacuum for his birthday. He's 2 years old, and he is really enjoying having his on 'working' vacuum cleaner!!!

It was his favorite gift!" —Amazon Customer

www.amazon.com, Amazon

It stores vertically, which means it saves space too!

Promising review: "Cook's Illustrated (America's Test Kitchen) recommended this product. It's a good product for the price. It makes perfect Belgian waffles, I like how it has a small footprint and I'm able to easily store it in my pantry because it folds up. I think it's great. I bought this for my husband as a Father's Day gift this year. He couldn't have been more surprised and pleased. He LOVES waffles. I think he said this was the best gift I've ever given him:)" —Kindle Customer

Get it from Amazon for $59.99.

18. The Dyson's Air Wrap Complete, a 6-in-1 hair dryer and styler that's basically like magic (if you've seen the TikToks, you know). It comes with a pre-styling dryer, two smoothing brushes, and two sizes of curling barrels — all which use hot air to dry *and* style your hair in one. With no damage in sight!

www.instagram.com, Sephora

I.....will never go back after using the Dyson Air Wrap (I have the previous version of the Air Wrap). This bb is beyond next level (which it should be for over $500 hard-earned dollars). I have coarse, type 2/3 waves and curls (different curl types with basically every strand), and the attachments dry and style my hair with ease. And the curls last and last. The curling effect that just SUCKS ON your hair is...mind-blowing. It maxes out at a non-damaging temperature, so even though your style is locked-in for days, your hair will stay healthy.

Promising review: "This has changed my life, talk about a magic wand!! It usually takes me just over an hour to straighten my hair with regular straighteners then another hour to curl, it’s so thick and frizzy! With the air wrap it literally took me just over half an hour to straighten AND CURL my hair!!! By far the best out there. (Best Christmas gift ever..)" —Cortni646

Promising review: "After looking at the air wrap for over a year, I finally bought it. I have thick type 4b hair and the firm brush attachment made blowing out my hair so easy. I noticed that my roots were still a little damp so I used the dryer attachment and my roots were dry in no time. I am excited to try out the curling features on day old hair." —acm824

Get it from Amazon, Sephora, or Nordstrom for $599.

A *15*-tool Leatherman multitool for the handiest person you know, complete with (deep breath) phillips screwdriver, medium screwdriver, small screwdriver, can opener, bottle opener, wire stripper, needle-nose pliers, serrated knife, ruler, file, carabiner, and more. This bb does *almost* as much as they do.

Amazon

Promising review: "Father's Day gift to my husband. He loves it, uses it all the time. He feels more lost without this than if he loses his smartphone. And he tells everyone the kids got it for him so 'Daddy can fickits.' Don't depend on the leather carry that come with it though, very cumbersome to take in and out of it. I want one. Best gift ever." —paczki

Get it from Amazon for $55.96.

20. A ping-pong set that'll transform any table they already have into their new favorite game, without the space or financial investment of a full ping-pong table.

Amazon

It comes with an expandable/retractable net (so it can fit the width of your table) with adjustable clamps, two paddles, two balls, and a mesh carrying bag so you can take it on the go.

Promising review: "This thing is great! I bought it as a stocking stuffer for my husband and he loves it. We actually set it up on the dining room table. It's very sturdy and the poles that hold the net are spring loaded so it holds tight no matter what size your table. The clamps that hold the poles up are also spring loaded so there's no damage to the table. It even comes with a travel bag and takes less than a minute to set up and take down. I'd highly recommend it to anyone with limited space or who likes to camp. I would also recommend buying a few more ping pong balls, though. It comes with two but they aren't the best." —Philip or Laura

Promising review: "Best gift for my 15-year-old son since the over-the-door basketball hoop. He loves it!" —Jackie

Promising review: "This is by far the best investment I've made. Beautiful picture quality, sound, and everything else. I do not use the screen, because I prefer to just have it play on the wall. I was very impressed with the quality. I will update with a picture later. I will probably purchase at least three more. I literally can talk forever about how great this is, but I won't LOL. I'll just say if you're thinking about buying it DO IT! Best purchase ever!!" —TN

23. A compact Shiatsu massager they can use on their neck, back, legs, and more to relax overworked muscles. Plus, it has an optional heat setting for even more pain relief. It's like giving the gift of a portable spa!

Amazon

Promising review: "Incredible. I use it every night. EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. Warning: I def used it longer than the 20 minutes recommended on my first night. It has auto-shut-off, but I just hit it again (and again). No issue in overheating. It was a great massage everywhere. The warning is I was sore the next day! Good sore, but really really sore. So, when you buy it, keep that in mind. Slow start will benefit you in the long run. ENJOY! I love the product so much I sent it to my sister, my colleague and a few other work friends as gifts. They said it's the best gift EVER." —MH

Get it from Amazon for $49.25.

25. An external battery that'll be like giving them the gift of an always-charged smartphone for years to come — and really you too when you're out together, since it can charge more than one device!

Amazon

This has two USB ports to charge two devices at a time, and it holds enough juice to charge THREE iPhone 8s — so it's OK if they forget to charge *this* bb all the time too.

Promising review: "My family loves this product since I originally bought it for them for Christmas. I chuckle that my brother comments STILL on what a perfect gift it was for him since he can charge his iPhone in the older car that doesn't have a working cigarette lighter for his iphone charger. 'BEST GIFT You EVER bought' he tells me. Even my neighbor began to use it for his phone and wanted one just like it. The really neat part is that the paw print lights up in blue. If you're an animal lover it strikes a cord that it reminds you of the love you have for pets, you had and have now." —Denise J. Cogut

Promising review: "I love this portable charger! I didn’t think it would be a good idea, because normally you portable chargers die within the first charge it does. I have charged my phone over 4 times and haven’t had to charge it! That is including just leaving it in my bag for weeks until I need it again. It will not disappoint! I love it!" —MacMak

Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in four colors).

26. A pair of hairy-good slippers they're basically contractually obligated to wear while binge watching the whole extended edition of the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

27. A screaming goat figurine that'll help them release all that stress. Just press the button on the stump he stands on to hear those bleats that can't be beat.

Amazon

And it comes with a 32-page, illustrated booklet all about goats, making this product the G.O.A.T. itself.

Promising review: "Best gift of 2020! When my husband pulled this out of his stocking, I’m pretty sure he thought “What the hell did you get me?!?” However, this screaming goat has brought so much laughter to our house, and the whole family randomly turns him on in moments of quiet, tension or just for fun. Best $10 ever. Sure, it is silly and mostly useless. But sometimes you just need a good laugh and to hear your 10 year-old in fits of giggles. The sound of the goat is great (he’s really loud!) and quality is much better than I expected for the price. If you need a silly gag gift or something to brighten a dreary cubicle, this guy is perfect." —medea75560

28. A dino race track complete with 144 pieces of flexible track, *cars shaped like T.

Even myself had fun playing this with my son. I like how versatile the tracks are. Totally worth it!" —olive

Promising review: "I gave this as a gift to one of my coworkers as a Secret Santa present and he loved it! He claimed it was the best gift at the office." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "We absolutely LOVE these whiskey wedge glasses. They are simple to use, durable, and are such a hit at dinner parties and cocktail hour. The wedge stays solid for a very long time and melts at the appropriate pace so as to not water down your drink. The bourbon drinkers around here are very pleased with the water melt ratio in this glass and we have since ordered three more to add to our first purchase! Highly recommend!!" —Haley E.

30. The world's smallest violin, in keychain form, that'll actually play music (a "sad song") when they press the button on the back! They can whip it out when a friend or family member starts whining, and they'll soon be laughing instead. And teachers in the reviews and on Tiktok say it's great for complaining students!

Amazon

It's battery-powered btw!

Promising review: "Hands-down the best classroom management tool I have ever purchased. It’s definitely overpriced but for the amount of times I’ve used it in one day, so worth it." —Emily Metzger

Promising review: "My daughter and I got three of these for two of her 5th grade teachers and my son's pre-k teacher. Every single teacher loved them so much! My daughter's teachers bragged about how amazing these were to the whole school and the pre-k teacher did the best happy dance. For sure will be getting these every year for teachers. Hands down best gift i have ever bought anyone." —Amber Parker

Amazon

Promising review: "These were a gift for my father who has been a chef for over 30 years. He absolutely loved them! they look better than the picture they are very good quality and the set up is very stylish. He told me this was the best gift he has ever gotten, I will be buying one for my home as well!" —A mom

Promising review: "These knives are great! They stay super sharp, they’re comfortable to hold, and I love how much counter space it leaves as opposed to a big bulky knife block. Fits perfectly in my minimalist kitchen!!! And it looks great on my counter being one of the few things that I keep on my countertop! It is the perfect amount of knives without being too many knives (I don’t like things in excess)! I have never had a cheese knife before, and this baby is my favorite one in the whole set! LOL! It slices through hard cheeses like butter! Have not tried on soft cheese, but I’m sure it’ll be great because it is super sharp! I can’t say enough about how much I love these knives!!" —Sadie Allen

It has over 50 easter eggs, small details, and optical illusions — and a twist (designed by magicians!) that's only revealed when the puzzle is complete!

Amazon

Promising review: "This puzzle is THE BEST GIFT! I spent a little while each night on the puzzle, which is very complex and challenging. My kids and husband would sneak in a few pieces now and then. We got to complete the challenge at the end together and it was a wonderful finish! Going to frame this one!" —Corrie Potter

Promising review: "I bought this as a gift for my husband because he absolutely loves puzzles and magic, so it was a no-brainer! I was honestly way more excited to finish putting this puzzle together than a normal puzzle because I couldn’t wait to see the end result. Blown away.

If you've given this puzzle in the past, or they're already a fan, don't fret! They've released several series of puzzles — you can shop them all on Amazon.

33. An Ototo x Fullstar chopper, because the regular ole Fullstar one is already beloved by tens of thousands of reviewers, but why gift that one when you can get this guy, who totally crocks? Just FYI anyone who uses this will have to say "cronch cronch" when they close the lid/jaw to dice the veggies — I don't make the rules.

Ototo

It comes with two dicing blades and two spiralizing blades, btw!

Promising review: "Best gift for my husband. He was struggling cutting onions and now it’s so easy for him to cook ." —EdgarAlina

Promising review: "I wasn't so sure if I would ever use something like this, but it has become a staple in my kitchen! I actually already have the white version of this, but saw the Croc Chop and had to have it! It's makes perfect pico de gallo in minutes and great for chopped salads! It chops anything from lettuce to chicken, perfect for salads! It's top rack dishwasher safe so easy to clean. It comes with cleaning brushes and picks as well. Definitely a must have for perfectly chopped or spiraled veggies!" —Tammy

34. An acrylic bird feeder that'll suction right onto their window so they (or their cat) can enjoy bird watching right from the comfort of the couch.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Best gift ever. I purchased this birdfeeder for my son's room. We found that we were all sitting in his room watching the birds! I had to get one for everyone. Love it!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I love this bird feeder! The birds come right up to the window. Its easy to setup and well constructed. I've purchased other window feeders and this one is the clear favorite. The suction cups are strong and can support larger bird than some other feeders. The birds just love it! My kitty thinks it's her TV. I had to hang it higher on the window so she doesn't scare them. I've had about eight different species of birds visit this feeder. I highly recommend, it's a nice way to feel connected to nature even while inside the house. Great for kids and grandparents. I bought several and sent to friends and family. It includes good instructions as well unlike some other companies." —Miss April

Get it from Amazon for $22.39 (available in three styles).

35. An extra-durable duck-shaped dog toy you can gift your pup (they deserve a very full stocking!!) — and unlike other toys that get shredded in days (OK, hours), this adorable bb will last months, at least.

AnaMaria Glavan / BuzzFeed

Promising review: "Reviews were very helpful!! We gave our dog the best Christmas gift ever!! She loves it a lot" —it's great

And here's what BuzzFeed Shopping contributor AnaMaria Glavan has to say: "My French Bulldog is extremely spoiled and gets new toys all the damn time.  Chew toys can cost anywhere from $10–$14 a pop and last maybe three days with minimal play. My dog sleeps for 18 hours in a 24-hour cycle so it mystifies me that he manages to go through them so quickly. But a few months ago, I found this very plain yellow duck toy on Amazon that had over 14,000 reviews with buyers claiming it could take a lot of wear and tear. I thought, my doggo deserves the best so let’s try it out. Folks! This duck is woven with Valyrian steel! I literally purchased this on Nov. 24, 2020 (and I’m writing this it is March 25, 2021) and it’s STILL GOING STRONG. It has not torn, ripped, there is no toy entrail fluff scattered throughout our living room.. nada. It’s still perfectly intact and Rockie generally prefers this toy over any other one in his ever-changing arsenal.  The best part is that the toy costs less than $10. Considering the quality, you’d expect it to cost *way* more considering that I haven’t had to replace it in the four months of me owning it. And again, I want to stress — my dog typically shreds through toys in less than a week, so to have one last 15x longer?! It’s pretty sweet. I also want to point out that the squeaker isn't obnoxiously loud which is pure bliss."

Get it from Amazon for $7.90 (note that you'll get a random color).

36. An air fryer (from the makers of the INSTANT POT!!) so they can crisp up leftovers, make homemade versions of their favorite fried foods (without having to deal with hot oil), and more. They'll thank you every time they use it, so basically every day.

37. A set of jumbo fizzy aromatherapy bath bombs to moisturize any bath-lover's skin and make their next soak a little more spa-like. Ahhhh, relaxation in a steamy tub o' good smells. What a way to spend an evening!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

They're each about the size of a tennis ball — and they won't stain your tub, so you won't have to scrub afterwards.

Promising review: "I have been using bath bombs for years. I've used cheap brands, drugstore brands, luxury brands (Lush, YL) and more. This box gives all bath bombs I've tried a run for the money! The packaging was super cute and totally giftable. I was really impressed at the quality of the bath bomb itself too (I used Heal tonight) and I love that this uses natural essential oils. During this COVID-19 outbreak, I have had a lot of stress and anxiety and have enjoyed a bath nearly every night for the past week. This bomb gave me the most serene experience and they are HUGE! At least double the size of ones I've used before. Comparable to the size of Lush bombs. I will definitely purchase this box again when I run out and honestly it's a great price at a little more than $2 a piece. You really can't beat it!" —Heather H

Promising review: "Best Christmas gift ever! These are wonderful! Best bath bombs I’ve ever tried, scent and texture are pure luxury! Wish I could post a scent rather than just a photo!" —Alli

Promising review: "I got this blanket as a gift for 13-year-old’s birthday. His aunt has a similar one, so I knew he would love it! It’s sooooo unbelievably soft, and the perfect size to wrap yourself up in like a burrito. My son literally walks around the house all day with this blanket ever since I gave it to him, and now my younger son also wants one. The design really looks like a real tortilla shell and not cheap looking at all. 5 stars, hands down one of the best things I’ve bought from Amazon." —Coco
