6. A prim and proper mustached gentleman who will primly and properly hold their razor — no need to put it on the side of the tub anymore.
Amazon
Promising review: "This razor holder is so fun and quirky. I absolutely love it. It was received quickly. It sticks very well to the tile and can be easily moved to different locations. Everyone who has seen it in my bathroom has a good laugh. This would be a great gift or stocking stuffer for those of us who love the strange and funny. The plastic is sturdy and the colors and details are great. It keeps my razor from sitting out. It also helps to quickly dry it after use. The price was a deterrent initially, but I'm glad to purchased it. I would definitely buy another." —Mindy

Amazon
Promising review: "Came compressed and vacuum-sealed but fluffed up throughout the day after opening it. The fur is softer than I expected and overall, this is just a really nice accent pillow/plush animal. I wanted a squishy pillow for my chair, the sloth factor is a bonus." —Socket
Get it from Amazon for $18.88.
9. A mini heart-shaped waffle maker because everyone needs a breakfast made with care and love (and, you see, care and love just oozes from this little machine).
Promising review: "I purchased this little waffle maker because 1, a friend shared a picture of the one they have and I was jealous, 2, we wanted another one so we are not just waiting on the one Belgium waffle maker, 3, I figured my son would love it! It takes about four mins to make one. It's so good! It's crispy on the outside and nice and soft on the inside. Even my picky husband said he really liked how it came out. My son ate five last weekend (and he normally only eats maybe half a waffle for breakfast). I ended up making an extra batch and keep them in the freezer for him for weekdays. We just pop them in the toaster oven for about five mins and they come out nice and yummy. It's small and portable. Overall I am very happy with the addition." —Penny
Get it from Amazon for $16.60 (available in 19 designs).
10. And this bottle of organic gingerbread maple syrup they can pour on those waffles for the most delicious and envy-worthy breakfast ever.
Maple Craft Foods
This family-owned small business began after tragedy struck in their community of Sandy Hook, Connecticut. The founders wanted to reprioritize their lives and focus on something that would benefit the community — which led to this absolutely delish maple syrup collection. Maple Craft was voted the best syrup in Connecticut, so you'll probably want to get yourself a bottle as well and whip up a big batch of pancakes ASAP.

Clementine's Creamery
Clementine’s Creamery is a woman-owned ice cream shop that ships nationwide, and is the only microcreamery in Missouri serving unique small-batch handcrafted ice cream flavors. Tamara Keefe founded the company out of a desire to unite communities through ice cream, as she grew up in an impoverished Irish-Italian household and couldn't afford to join other families on trips to the ice cream parlor as a child. The profits for select ice creams go towards nonprofit organizations, like Tribe All Good (TAG), a nonprofit focused on building more inclusive communities.
Get them from Clementine’s Creamery: the pumpkin flavor for $10 and the maple flavor for $15, and check out more flavors here (available in 30+ flavors, with vegan and alcoholic options).
13. A mini cactus humidifier that'll have your coworker prick up the moment they see it. They'll appreciate the cactus puns and hydrated skin this winter!
Amazon
It automatically shuts off after four hours.
Promising review: "This little thing did wonders for my skin in my office. I'm right next to a window so I often have to run my space heater, which dries the daylights out of my skin. This thing is easy to set up, well worth the money, and super cute. My eyes and nose stay moisturized and my skin looks better than it ever does in the winter. It's made for small spaces, so make sure you're within a foot or two of the mist so you can benefit fully." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $14.89+ (available in three designs).
14. A Bob Ross Funko figure to remind everyone to ~chillax~ (even though they may not chillax once someone steals this).

Get it from Amazon for $10.99.
15. A golden brownstone chocolate bar that's probably way too gorgeous to eat but that doesn't mean chocolate-lovers won't find their way to it anyway.
Harlem Chocolate Factory

The company is Black woman-owned — the founder and head chocolatier Jessica Spaulding has been working with chocolate since she was 9 years old! She and her co-founder Asha Dixon's products were even selected as one of Oprah's Favorite Things — AKA, they're the real deal.
Get a bar from Harlem Chocolate Factory for $12.99 (available in milk or dark chocolate) or six from Amazon for $59.99.
16. A boba tea light because there's always that one person looking for any excuse to treat themselves to bubble tea. Well, might as well get it in lamp form too. It's so realistic the boba moves around inside!
Urban Outfitters
This is battery-powered so no messy wires to deal with.
Get it from Urban Outfitters for $16.

19. Fifty Shades of Chicken, a parody cookbook with hilariously seductive chicken recipes guaranteed to make them laugh — especially with names like "Dripping Thighs" and "Mustard-Spanked Chicken." So much better than their mom's basic cookbook, I daresay.
20. A secret journal much better than traditional ones because not only is this filled with prompts that help them reflect, explore, and question new things about themselves but when they're done, they can keep it, bury it for their grandkids to find, throw it in the trash, or, ya know. Burn it.
Amazon
Get it from Amazon for $8.39.
21. A visual grocery list they can stick on their fridge and simply circle whatever they're out of instead of writing it down somewhere random and losing it. In one glance, they can see what they need. It's great for people who are more visual. Economical, efficient, and fun!

Amazon

I want one of my own!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "This was hilarious! Both the figurine and the book. Bought for a co-worker, we all laughed and laughed each time we made it scream! We even played it over the loudspeaker for our warehouse workers to hear, and hearing it over that loudspeaker had us cracking up the rest of the day! Wouldn't have thought it be so popular but everyone loves it, especially the guy who it's for!" —Ashley
Get it from Amazon for $7.40.
30. A clip-on selfie ring light great for anyone looking to vamp up their selfie game. Sometimes your yellowish room light just ain't it.

Get it from Amazon for $13.99.

32. A functional water tumbler to remind the recipient to drink their water!
Amazon
Promising review: "Oh my goodness, I can't say enough good things about these! We've been giving them to friends as gifts, and everyone is raving about them. I've even brought one to work, and my coworkers keep stopping by to pick it up and admire it! The silicone, wood, and glass parts are all very well-made — thick, sturdy, and beautiful. Every piece comes apart for easy hand-washing. The silicone jacket keeps the glass from sweating, and it makes it easy to grip and carry. The silicone seal under the wood lid is removable and seals nicely to the glass to protect from 1) major spills, and 2) things dropping into the tumbler when outside. The straw is sturdy, too, and is easily washable with a straw brush." —Stevi88
Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available inthree colors).
33. A woven wall hanging for an effortless and dreamy exhibit of pattern on their rather plain (read: dull) room.
Amazon, amazon.com
Promising review: "These are adorable. When I purchased them, I planned to only use the larger one, but they look great next to each other. They are a really nice contrast to framed art and family pictures, as well as really add that textural soft feel I wanted. Also, these are super inexpensive. The quality is nicer than I expected especially for the price. I hung mine with little nails. I get many compliments on them!" —Kar Star
Get it from Amazon for $15.98+ (available in two sizes).
34. A scratch-off poster for 100 classic movies that the film buff will ~reely~ have a great time getting through!

Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in three animals).
36. A cable yoyo so their headphones never get tangled again.
Amazon
Promising review: "I've been looking for something like this forever. Cord wraps up neatly, unwinds even more neatly. Wrapping a cord up the old way gives me loose or tight coiling, and eventually results in damaging the cord at the jack. Plus it would still tangle part of the time. This is hardly any larger in your pocket than the earbuds alone." —D. Jones
Get it from Amazon for $9.95+ (available in three colors).
