I am a contributor and former BuzzFeed Shopping writer based in Cincinnati, OH where you can find me curating lists on ~a little bit of everything~ (and adding a few things to my own cart in the process).

1. A handcrafted birthstone wishing ball, so you can give them something truly one of a kind. Whether they want to keep it as a unique decoration or use the strips of paper to reflect on the week, this is something they certainly won't find a duplicate of.

Uncommon Goods

It comes with 52 slips of paper so they can write down a wish or a thought each week of the year and put them in an opening at the base.

Promising review: "This gift is truly one of a kind. I like that it's handcrafted, not mass-produced, so each globe is unique and a statement piece without being obnoxious. The joy is if you decide to write your weekly wish and put it in or just put it by some plants in the sun, it really speaks of a truly beautiful piece of art." —1Coffeedrinker

Get it from Uncommon Goods for $38 (available in 12 months).

2. A MacKenzie-Childs tea kettle they've been eyeing forever, since the unique style is totally their vibe. Go ahead and splurge a little, you'll know they love it cause you'll see it sitting out on their stove as decor every time you go over.

Macy's

Promising review: "I love this sophisticated-looking teapot! It adds spark to my kitchen. Worth the price!" —Pinkie08

Get it from Macy's for $179.95.

3. A three-wick candle with a scent that will remind them of a crisp fall morning. And unlike many candles, this one also looks like a piece of art, so it can double as decor on their coffee table even when it's not lit.

Bath & Body Works

Promising review: "The Fresh Fall Morning Three-Wick Candle is super cute with a nice sidewalk cafe picture and fresh fall scent. This is perfect for festive fall decorating. The scent is perfumey but not too strong. It's sort of like a fresh fall outdoor scent, which I really like." —SD_SD

Get it from Bath & Body Works for $11.95 (originally $24.95).

4. A scrumptious blackout cake they'll want to have on their birthday every year (or, honestly, for any occasion they can make an excuse for).

Goldbelly

This is an 8-inch cake designed to serve 12 to 15 people. When they receive it, they can store it in the fridge for three days or in the freezer for up to two months.

Promising review: "Loved this blackout cake! I am just old enough to remember the original Ebinger's blackout cake, and this definitely brought back great memories and was so rich and moist and chocolatey. Very well packaged — arrived in perfect condition." —Sophie S.

Get it from Goldbelly for $99.95.

5. A Sol de Janeiro gift set, complete with a body butter, shower oil, and perfume mist, all in one of their infamous and delicious scents: Cheirosa 59. You may wanna grab a few of these to have on hand as go-to gifts.

Sephora

Promising review: "I love this set! It smells so sweet and delicious. The body wash doesn’t leave me feeling dry. The moisturizer is super thick." —KatherineClare

Get it from Sephora for $34.

6. A pair of slippers so they can make sure their toes stay toasty warm even as temperatures begin to drop.

Duluth Trading Co.

Get them from Duluth Trading Co. for $33.97+ (available in women's sizes 7–11 and four colors).

7. A sunflower lamp to bring some joy and light to their nightstand or desk. This is way better than a bouquet of flowers because it's not something that they will have to take care of or try to keep alive. And it'll stay pretty forever, instead of getting sad and dying after a week or two.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "It’s beautiful, well made, no doubt about it. So beautiful. I love how the light reflects a beautiful pattern on the wall." —Tammy Epperson

Get it from Amazon for $27.98.

8. A precious fall Winnie the Pooh plush featuring their fave pumpkin spice drink. This would work for kids and adults alike. No one can be sad when Pooh is hanging around. 

Disney Store

Promising review: "This Pooh is adorable! He is so soft and a very lovely color. Very happy with him!" —ALaRu55

Get it from the Disney Store for $29.99.

9. A fun and cutesy Mancala board game, which is quite the upgrade from the boring brown ones we all used to have. This will be so fun for them to whip out at a game night or take to a picnic in the park.

Ban.do

Get it from Ban.do for $34.

10. A crochet blanket designed to look like a bouquet of flowers when it's wrapped up, and turns into a comfy, cozy blanket when it's unwrapped. They will appreciate this wayyyy more than a living bouquet. 

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "Purchased this crochet flower bouquet as a gift, and I couldn't be happier with it! The design is absolutely adorable! Such a creative and unique twist that makes it feel extra special. The blanket is incredibly soft and cozy, making it perfect for snuggling. The quality really stands out, and you can tell a lot of care went into making it. It's both beautiful and functional, which is exactly what I was hoping for. The recipient loved it just as much as I did! Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a thoughtful, cute, and high-quality gift." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in three sizes and 11 colors).

11. A cocktail smoker kit that'll let them create fancy bar-worthy drinks in the comfort of their own home. They will be shocked at how bougie they feel when they see the smoke fill up their glass.

Sur La Table

It comes with a smoker with a stainless-steel guard, 4 ounces of smoking fuels, a kitchen torch, a chimney sweep, and an instruction book.

Promising review: "Gave this as a gift and the person loved it. It's a novelty for parties, but they love it!" —anonymous

Get it from Sur La Table for $99.

12. A screen-free digital camera designed so they can get stunning photos but not lose themselves by scrolling through the pictures trying to relive moments instead of actually *living* in the current moment. 

REI

This camera is rechargeable and has six built-in filters that they can swap with a toggle right on the camera.

Get it from REI for $74.95 (available in seven colors).

13. A Japanese cherry blossom landscape Lego set that they can use as a fun hobby and display as a gorgeous work of art when they're finished.

Lego

Promising review: "This was one of my favorite builds. The complexity is easy, but that feeling of placing the frame over the art and seeing it almost finished was an 'oh wow, that’s stunning' moment. From afar, you’d never know it was a Lego piece." —Snapcrackleblocks

Get it from Lego for $139.99.

14. A foot massager so they can sit back and relax after a long day on their feet and get a great massage. TBH, this is better than getting them a spa gift card cause they can use this daily instead of just once.

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "This is the second one I've purchased. I gifted the first to my mother, and she loved it. So, I bought one and wow. After a long day out walking, or on your feet, or chasing kids... You come home with throbbing feet and use this. It left me feeling brand new. The high pressure is surprisingly strong. The heat is a nice touch as well. I just wish the charging cord was a little longer." —Ashley

Get it from Amazon for $65.99+ (available in two sizes and three colors).

15. A nylon Baggu crescent bag reviewers are shocked by, as it can hold so much more than you'd think. They will love having a spot to hold all their essentials and not having to carry a bulky bag they never want to take around. 

Urban Outfitters

Promising review: "I love all Baggu, but the medium crescent might be my favorite. It can hold so much without being too big. It is just the most perfect size and a very comfortable crossbody!" —Lemoncata

Get it from Urban Outfitters for $56 (available in seven patterns).

16. A weighted Bearaby travel blanket so they can bring the comfort of a warm, tight hug with them wherever they go. It even comes in a little duffel bag, so it's ready to go on trips or just travel with them from room to room.

Bearaby

Read more about how to choose a weight and what these blankets help with and how from Cleveland Clinic.

Promising review: "Amazingly soft and snuggly. Don't be afraid of the weight. It's intimidating at first, but then once you realize how great it feels, you don't want to get out from under this blanket." —Richard G.

Get it from Bearaby for $179+ (available in two materials, three weights, and five colors).

17. A cat-shaped watering jug for your feline-loving friends to have reminders of their fur babies, even when doing mundane tasks.

Chewy

Get it from Chewy for $30.

18. A customized bubble letter name necklace so they can sport their name, or maybe their kiddo or partner's. It can be plain gold or feature a pavé design, depending on their vibes and whether they want a little extra ✨sparkle.✨

Baublebar

Get it from Baublebar for $44+ (available in two sizes and two metal styles). 

19. A set of Biodance face masks designed to be worn overnight, so they can put them on before hopping into bed and wake up with hydrated skin. Plus, it's quite satisfying to watch it turn from white to see-through; that way, they'll know the product is getting into their skin.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "What I love about Biodance masks is that, unlike most sheet masks, which you have to take off after about 15 minutes, this one is fine to leave on overnight. I put it on after finishing my nighttime routine, leave it on while I sleep, and wake up with noticeably different-feeling skin — it makes for a great start to the day. It's also great for long flights, keeping my skin from drying out the whole time. It's affordable, too, so it also makes a great gift. This is a must-have for me." —Mee

Get a four-pack from Amazon for $16.15 (available in four versions).

20. A gorgeous cutting board that can be both practical for, well, cutting things, but also a work of art on their counter when they aren't whipping up dinner.

Coming Soon

Get it from Coming Soon for $45+ (available in two sizes and three colors).

21. A paper-wrapped picture frame you can give them, either empty, or if you're feeling extra sentimental, you can throw in a picture of the two of you, so they have a precious memory preloaded, ready to go on the bookshelf.

Rifle Paper Co.

Promising review: "The fabric has a slight dull color that really contributes to a vintage but modern feel. It looks very good quality and makes my bookshelf look even cuter! I love it." —Sharlene F.

Get it from Rifle Paper Co. for $24 (available in five styles).

22. A candle warmer that will let them appreciate the delicious aromas of their favorite candles without having to constantly worry about the flame or trying to remember if they blew it out before leaving the house.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I absolutely love this candle warmer lamp! The lamp looks beautiful in my bedroom, and the warm light creates a cozy atmosphere. The adjustable height fits my different candle jars perfectly, and the dimmer lets me control how quickly the candle melts and releases its fragrance. I also really like the timer function, which makes it easy to use without having to worry about turning it off. Great quality and definitely worth the purchase!" —Eloise

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in 15 styles).

23. A dog puzzle that they will have a blast putting together. Plus, each pup has their own little cake, so it's basically like they're all celebrating their birthday too.

Piecework

Get it from Piecework for $40.

24. A squiggly Papier bookmark and pen clip perfect for anyone who loves to journal and needs to stop losing their favorite pen. These are more decorative and fun than traditional paper bookmarks. Plus, idk about you, but I've never seen a pen clip that can be transferred from one book or journal to another.

Papier

Get it from Papier for $20.

25. Some polka-dot press-on nails with fall vibes, so they can have a gorgeous manicure at home without the price or time commitment of going to a salon.

Olive and June

Promising review: "The perfect fall mani! Take fall colors, a cute pattern, and a chrome effect, and you’ve got the trifecta. The short round length gives the nails a great shape without being too long. This mani brought about many compliments and surprise to find out these were press-ons!" —Nicole

Get them from Olive and June for $10.

26. A wireless lantern speaker that will be perfect to take outside on those crisp fall evenings. Whether they wanna jam out on their patio alone or host a friend get together, this will set the mood.

Nordstrom Rack

Get it from Nordstrom Rack for $19.97 (originally $49.99).

27. A Carhartt hat, which has become such a trendy brand over the years. It'll help keep their head warm as the weather cools down, or can just be a way to hide their hair if it's hair wash day, but they haven't gotten around to it yet.

Dick's Sporting Goods

Get it from Dick's Sporting Goods for $19.99 (available in 14 colors).

28. A NodPod sleepmask people are raving about, saying they don't know how they've gone so long without it and will never be without it again. I'm not sure there's a better gift than a good night's sleep.

Nordstrom

Promising review: "Bought this for my girlfriend's birthday, and she can't sleep without it. Guys, get your girlfriend a Nodpod, it will 100% make her happier than you can, haha." —anonymous

Get it from Nordstrom for $38 (available in 16 designs).

29. A demi sipper cup that will make their morning coffee or tea that much more of an experience. It honestly looks like it would be so fun to drink out of. Maybe now they won't dread that 7 a.m. wakeup every day...

Anthropologie

Promising review: "This mug is the perfect size and hand feel/weight, it feels so sturdy and has been nice and durable between washes in the dishwasher, and making both iced and hot coffees in it! ANDDD it fits in my car cup holder! A huge win!" —annabanana

Get it from Anthropologie for $20 (available in six colors).

30. A Rumpl outdoor blanket designed to pack down into a small bag so it's easy for them to stash in their car or take on a trip without worrying about how much space it's going to take up.

Rumpl

Promising review: "This is a Christmas gift for a friend who lives near Yosemite. This is my 10th Rumpl purchase — between our home and gifts. First purchased at REI years ago. It is my go-to cozy blanket always. I even carry one in the car just in case. Even our dog has her own small one!" —Margaret D.

Get it from Rumpl for $99.95 (available in four sizes and nine styles).

31. Some Craftmix cocktail mixers so they can enjoy delicious drinks at home without having to buy, like, a million ingredients or research what recipe would be best. They just mix this in with their liquor and water, and BAM, a delicious cocktail in seconds.

Amazon

Promising review: "Big fan of these Craftmix mixes! I use these to make espresso martinis, and they are delicious. Highly recommend! Easy to use and simple instructions to follow." —Talia Zapata
