How We Chose the Best Gifts Under $50

To curate the best gifts under $50, we vetted hundreds of products, looking for best-sellers and top ratings that resonate with our readers. We also reviewed thousands of customer reviews, weighing the pros and cons and assessing whether the products meet our standards for quality, uniqueness, thoughtfulness and of course, price. On top of that, we vetted our list with our in-house PureWow shopping experts for all-year, all-occasions, and all-ages gift recommendations. 

From a Barefoot Dreams Blanket to a Crock-Pot Lunch Box, I Just Found The Best Secret Santa Gifts Under $50


ICYMI, bubble blankets are having a moment right now—and this reversible throw is a must-grab at 75 percent off. With its ultra-soft faux fur and hand-ruched texture, it looks like something you’d spot draped over the end of a bed in a $4,000-a-night Aspen lodge (but for under $30). People rave that it’s thick, heavy and plush without weighing you down—which is probably why it’s stacked up 100+ five-star reviews. The best part? It holds its softness after every wash (no sad, matted fur here). At 50" x 60", it’s big enough for cozying up solo or with company, and it comes in luxe shades like ivory, blush, teal and slate blue. It’s a trend piece that’ll outlast the trend.

For the ultimate skincare routine

2. Sunday Riley Jewel Box Kit

Sunday Riley

If there’s ever been a time to convert your skincare-curious friend into a Sunday Riley devotee, it’s with this PureWow reader-beloved kit. Inside: three cult favorites—The C.E.O. Vitamin C Brightening Serum (a powerhouse for depuffing and hydration, per former editor Olivia Dubyak’s review), the Luna Retinol Sleeping Night Oil (a gentle retinol that works overnight to smooth fine lines and calm redness) and the Good Genes Lactic Acid Treatment (an exfoliator once called “the best product to cross my desk” in a PureWow100 review by SEO editor Marissa Wu). And while these mini bottles may be TSA-approved, don’t underestimate them—they last longer than you’d expect and deliver real results: brighter, smoother, glowier skin that feels luxe from the very first application. It’s a smart way to sample the brand without the full-size splurge, and the kind of gift that will absolutely convert a skincare minimalist.

For the busy bee

3. lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag 1L

lululemon

You like it, you love it, you want some more of it. Yes, I’m talking about lululemon’s viral Everywhere Belt Bag—the one that sells out on TikTok faster than you can hit “add to cart.” Made from water-repellent fabric, it has a roomy main compartment (big enough for your phone, wallet, lip gloss, and then some) plus an extra zip pocket in the back for keys or cards. The best part? It’s actually in stock right now in an unusually wide range of colors—think metallic silver, caramel, pastel pink, sage, navy, and more. Take it from us: This is as rare as it gets, and once these shades disappear, they won’t be back for weeks.

For the pet parent

4. Hand Felted Pet Portrait or Ornament

etsy

These hand-felted pet portraits feel like something plucked straight from your grandmother’s tree—nostalgic, handmade and impossibly sweet. Custom-crafted from a photo you provide, each one captures their pet in a miniature felted likeness—whether you opt for the 5-inch hoop to display year-round or the 4-inch version to hang on the Christmas tree. From the fabric and ribbon to the embroidered name at the bottom, every detail is personalized, making it just as special for the dog mom who has everything as it is for the friend who still tears up when talking about their childhood cat.

For a Good Nights’ Rest

5. Babelio Mini White Noise Sound Machine

Babelio

Whether they need a little help catching some Zs at home, or are frequently traveling to cool new places, this miniature white noise machine can help drown out any unfamiliar sounds and calm their mind. The rechargeable battery lasts up to eight hours, but there’s also an auto timer to turn it off during the night so you don’t need to recharge each morning. There are 15 white noise soundtracks to choose from, none of which loop or repeat patterns, and you can easily control the volume with a handy set of buttons on the bottom. No wonder it’s earned nearly 3,500 5-star reviews.

For the dessert lover

Levain Bakery

This New York City-based bakery brand has brick and mortars coast to coast, and its Signature Cookie Assortment includes all four of its cult-favorite flavors—Chocolate Chip Walnut, Dark Chocolate Chocolate Chip, Oatmeal Raisin and Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip—packed in a ribbon-tied gift box (available in 4-, 8-, or 12-packs). “One of my favorite things about living in NYC was the fact that I was always close to Levain Bakery, so receiving a cookie bundle is the sweetest (pun-intended) gift anyone can give me,” according to former PureWow editor Stephanie Meraz. “They’re thick and rich, so I like to store them in the freezer and heat them in the oven when I’m ready for a satisfying dessert. After 10 minutes in the oven, they’re gooey, warm and taste like heaven.”

For kids’ lunch boxes

7. Uncommon Goods Animal Bestie Insulated Food Container

uncommon goods

Packing school lunches just got a whole lot cuter (and easier) with these animal-inspired containers. Designed to look like a cow, penguin or dino, they’re the kind of lunchbox companion that makes kids actually excited to open their bag at noon. The double-walled, vacuum-sealed stainless steel keeps pasta warm until the bell rings or fruit salad chilled through recess—and the leakproof lid means no surprise spills in the backpack. With a 20-ounce capacity, it fits a hearty portion, while the smooth, coated grip makes it easy for little hands to carry from cafeteria to playground. Plus, they’re BPA-free, lead-free and dishwasher safe—so you get easy cleanup along with the cuteness.

For bag-free eyes

8. Grace & Stella Under Eye Masks

JLab

Ideal for your BFF who could really use some TLC, these eye patches come with the stamp of approval from both Jessica Alba and Beauty and Cultures Editor Chelsea Candelario. They purport to improve the appearance of dark circles, reduce puffiness and hydrate the under-eye, all while looking a little extra luxe thanks to that gold sparkle. They come in a pack of 24 pairs and, according to Candelario, the effects should last about 24 hours after application.

For the Dude Who Is Always in Sweats

9. J.Crew Factory Basketweave Crewneck Sweater

J.CREW FACTORY

If his weekend uniform hasn’t evolved past the same gray hoodie he’s been wearing since freshman year, it’s time for a little intervention. Enter this long-sleeve basketweave crewneck sweater—a grown-up swap that feels just as easy but looks infinitely more polished. Made from 100 percent cotton with a textured weave that adds subtle depth, it’s breathable, comfortable and machine washable (because let’s be real, he’s not hand-washing anything). Available in Heather Mist and Heather Shadow, it’s the kind of sweater that works with jeans, joggers, or whatever else he’s rotating through on repeat—only now, he’ll actually look like he’s put some thought into his outfit.

For boozy game nights

10. Masters of Mystery Wine Tasting Murder Mystery Game Kit

MASTERS OF MYSTERY

Consider this your chance to play detective with a glass of Pinot in hand. This boozy mystery game drops you and your friends into the cellars of Château des Folles, where a billionaire host drops dead mid-sip. You bring the wine, the kit provides everything else—scripts, character roles, costume cues and a storyline dripping with scandal. Playable with 4 to 20 guests (Zoom works too), it’s the perfect pairing for dinner parties, bachelorette weekends or anyone who likes their Cabernet with a side of chaos.

For the Gen-Zer

11. CAMKORY Digital Camera

CAMKORY

If you’re shopping for a Gen Zer who’s currently living in low-rise jeans and posting blurry flash selfies, this point-and-shoot camera is the ultimate gift. It shoots crisp 44MP photos and 1080p video, but still gives off the retro Y2K vibe they’re after (think early-2000s party pics, but without the grain). It comes ready with a 32GB card, plus fun extras like vintage-style filters, self-timer and face/smile detection. Lightweight enough to toss in a tote for concerts, sleepovers or weekend trips, it’s the kind of present that feels effortlessly cool—like handing them their own MySpace-era time capsule.

If you’re shopping for the mom who already has her hands full (and probably a half-cooked dinner plan), Drew Barrymore’s line of slow cookers is a game-changer. This 4-quart version serves up to five people, has four preset cook times for everything from a weeknight stew to a set-it-and-forget-it pot roast, and the smart touch display only lights up when you need it. The pot and lid are also dishwasher-safe (translation: no extra cleanup), and the built-in lid holder keeps her counters from becoming a disaster zone. Not to mention that it’s available in matte-finish colors like White Icing, Sage Green and Lavender—so it actually looks chic sitting out on the counter.

For the Jewelry Collector

13. Mint & Lily Double Name Ring

Mint & Lily

For the jewelry lover who thinks she’s seen it all, Mint & Lily’s Double Name Ring is the kind of chic, thoughtful gift that stands out. Its open-style design feels modern, while the customization (two engraved names, top and bottom) makes it deeply personal without being overly sentimental. Made from surgical-grade stainless steel and available in finishes from 18k gold plated to 18k rose gold plated to 925 sterling silver, it’s as durable as it is beautiful—nickel-free, water-resistant and made to resist tarnish, rust and fading. Sizes range from small (4 to 6) to large (9 to 10), so it’s easy to get the right fit. The result? A piece that’s everyday-wearable, yet meaningful enough to earn permanent real estate in her jewelry rotation.

For ultimate winter coziness

14. Mynt Foot Massager with Heat

walmart

Winter survival kit, unlocked. This foot massager doesn’t just keep your toes warm—it uses high-frequency vibrations to melt away muscle tension, boost circulation and relieve all the standing, walking or just existing soreness you didn’t know you had. Add in the gentle heating function, and it feels like sliding your feet into a personal spa (especially clutch on freezing mornings or after a long commute). The faux-fur lining is plush and cozy, the design is roomy enough for up to a men’s size 13 and it comes in brown or gray, so it won’t clash with their living room vibe. In short: the kind of winter essential they’ll thank you for every single day.

For year-round glow

15. medicube Pink Glass Glow Duo

medicube

When Meghan Markle opens up her beauty cabinet, you pay attention—and her glow-inducing pick, medicube’s Collagen Jelly Cream, does not disappoint. The bouncy, translucent formula is packed with hydrolyzed collagen and niacinamide, working overtime to smooth uneven texture, boost elasticity and lock in hydration for that coveted glass-skin finish. Plus, because one hero product isn’t enough, the set also includes medicube’s bestselling Salmon DNA PDRN Jelly Masks—cooling, collagen-packed sheets that plump, firm and leave your skin instantly refreshed. It’s a glow-getter’s dream duo, whether you’re shopping for the beauty minimalist or the skincare obsessive on your list.

For the Coffee Table

16. Anthropologie Leora Fresh White Tonka & Santal Candle

Anthropologie

A candle that doubles as decor? Say less. This new intro from Anthropologie’s candle collection isn’t just about the warm, cozy scent (though with notes of spice, amber, clove, vanilla and cedarwood, it’s the perfume version of a hug). It’s poured into a hand-painted glass vessel that looks like something you’d find at an antique market—making it as much a styling piece as it is a candle. With a 65-hour burn time, it’s the kind of gift your mom will light once for ambiance, then immediately move to her perfectly styled coffee table as if it’s been part of her living room all along.

For Family Game Nights

17. Modern Silo Family Game Night Score Tracker

Etsy/Modern Silo

Let the games begin! This customizable scoreboard comes in three different sizes (depending on how many players you typically have) and can be made fully one-of-a-kind with your last name or another short phrase at the top. Keep track of scores with dry erase markers, then simply wipe clean at the end of the night in preparation for the next competition. And don’t worry, designer Tinley Innes ensures each board is made with “premium, durable materials designed to withstand the excitement of countless game nights.”

For the neat freak

18. Beautural Steamer For Clothes

Amazon

Our editors can’t stop talking about this compact, portable steamer—and honestly, neither will you. PureWow’s Senior Content Manager, Kate Kesselman, swears it’s gentle enough for silks yet powerful enough to smooth out stubborn creases thanks to its 1,000 watts of steam power. It heats up in just 30 seconds (so your “running late” outfit actually looks intentional), and the foldable, leakproof design works both vertically and horizontally without a drip in sight. The detachable 5.08-ounce water tank also makes refills effortless, and the 8-foot cord means you’re not tethered awkwardly to one corner. Bonus: It collapses right into your carry-on, because traveling without it isn’t really an option.

For the Very Online Traveler

19. Mark & Graham Charger Roll Up Case

MARK & GRAHAM

A cute solution to that packing bugbear: Where did I leave my phone charger?!? This little case from Mark & Graham lets you roll it up and secure with a leather tie to keep everything organized. It’s made of an unlined leather that can easily be spot cleaned with a soft cotton, and it features small essential pockets inside where you can store extra tiny goodies, like headphones or loose keys. For an extra $13, you can have your giftee’s initials hand-stamped in colored foil or in blind embossing which adds texture and a luxurious, personalized touch. Talk about packing smarter.

For the little marine biologist

20. Earth Rangers Grey Wolf Adoption Kit

The Earth Rangers

So your niece and nephew just learned about extinction in the 4th grade class, and they’ll take any chance they get to talk about the endangered species list. Thanks to Earth Rangers, a charity dedicated to creating a generation of conservationists, you can help them do something about it when you purchase an adoption kit. When you make that purchase, you’ll receive a kit that includes a plush toy, an adoption certificate and an informational poster. That way, the little one in your life will feel the excitement of aiding in wildlife rehabilitation, with a little bit of goodies along the way. The polar bear kit is a great place to start, but don’t overlook the other options on the site. (We have our eye on grey wolf and harbor seal adoption kits.)

For the home chef

21. YesChef Classes

Yeschef

For the friend who swears they’re “basically a chef,” YesChef is the gift that takes them from TikTok recipes to actually cooking like the pros. Each class is part documentary, part masterclass—first you’re immersed in the chef’s story and kitchen (think Francis Mallmann grilling over open flames in Patagonia or Nancy Silverton shaping dough in LA), then you follow along with bite-sized lessons that break down their signature techniques. With pre-recorded classes available anytime, they can sharpen their skills at their own pace—and maybe even nail that restaurant-level dish they’ve been bragging about.

For the Rockstar Cook

22. Chart Chopper Personalized Record Cutting Board

Uncommon Goods

Speaking of aspiring TikTok chefs—this cutting board is a vinyl-meets-foodie-lovers dream. Shaped like a 33-rpm record, it’s crafted from tempered glass with rubber feet to keep it sturdy while you chop, slice or dice. The retro design makes it as display-worthy as it is functional (no hiding it in a cabinet), and you can even personalize it with a name or phrase. Perfect for the person who treats their playlist like part of the recipe.

For the newborn

23. Barefoot Dreams CozyChic Heirloom Receiving Blanket

barefoot dreams

Our editors (and the Kardashians) are obsessed with the Barefoot Dreams CozyChic throw for good reason: Its buttery-soft fabric rivals cashmere (but is way easier to clean). So now, the brand has given its cult-favorite textile the newborn treatment with this heirloom receiving blanket. Designed with a mixed-stitch pattern and scalloped edges, it looks every bit as elegant as it feels. The 30" x 30" size makes it ideal for swaddling, stroller rides or simply snuggling—and since it’s made from 100 percent polyester microfiber, it’s as practical as it is luxe (machine washable, quick to dry and built to last). It’s the gift that makes new parents feel as pampered as their baby.

Selena Gomez’s Rare Eau de Parfum isn’t your average syrupy celeb spritz—it’s warm, spicy and sophisticated, with caramel, vanilla and sandalwood. According to Beauty and Cultures Editor Chelsea Candelario’s review, it made her want to “wrap [herself] in the softest cashmere sweater.” At first spritz, she caught sweet caramel, pistachio, and a kick of ginger—“not at all overpowering”—before it dried down into sandalwood and musk that lasted all day. “It’s warm, sexy and so cozy,” she explains. Plus, this limited-edition set includes both a travel spray and rollerball, so you can gift the scent during white elephant (and keep one for yourself). 

For the well-groomed man

25. Le Labo After-Shave Balm

Le labo

For the guy who dreads the post-shave sting, Le Labo’s After-Shave Balm is the ultimate solve. The plant-based formula (avocado oil + vitamin E) calms irritation on contact, reducing redness and itchiness while keeping skin moisturized all day. And because it’s Le Labo, the scent is just as considered: fresh bergamot and lavender edged with violet and tonka bean, a subtle fragrance that lingers without overpowering. Tucked in a sleek 120-milliliter aluminum tube, it’s a grooming upgrade that feels indulgent but practical—the kind of gift he’ll truly appreciate when the stubble needs to go. 

For the film buff in your life, this 100 Movies Bucket List Scratch Book makes the perfect gift (and the ultimate excuse for movie nights). Inside, you’ll find a curated list of 100 iconic films across every genre, from the classics to cult favorites. Each movie gets its own spread, with space to jot down reviews, rate it with stars or even slip in ticket stubs for a personal touch. Once you’ve watched it, scratch off the foil panel to reveal a hidden illustration—like unwrapping a little cinematic surprise every time. Bound in a sleek hardback case to keep it pristine, it’s a gift that turns binge-watching into a bucket-list-worthy event.

For the popcorn lover

27. Uncommon Goods The Popcorn Bowl with Kernel Sifter

nordstrom

Here, another serious movie night upgrade. Designed by ceramicist Catherine Smith, this twice-fired stoneware bowl has a clever colander-inspired base that sifts out unpopped kernels and hides them in a secret compartment (so you’re not cracking a tooth mid–rom-com). Heavy enough to prevent spills but chic enough to leave on the coffee table, it’s equal parts practical and design-y—a gift that feels tailor-made for the friend who treats popcorn like its own food group.

For kids who love Wicked

28. Squishmallows Original Wicked Jazwares Plush

Amazon

For the kid who’s been belting “Popular” since preschool (or “Defying Gravity” in the shower), consider this their standing ovation. The Wicked x Squishmallows collab takes Glinda, Elphaba, the Cowardly Lion, Tinman and Scarecrow and transforms them into squishy, 12-inch plush sidekicks. They’re ridiculously soft, endlessly huggable and basically the closest thing to gifting their own Broadway cast at bedtime.

For Peak Hydration

29. Stanley Quencher Tumbler

Stanley

Everyone needs water. But not every water bottle is a Stanley Quencher. This cult-favorite tumbler earns its hype: It holds a massive 40 ounces, keeps drinks cold for two days (or hot for seven hours) and still manages to fit in your cupholder thanks to its tapered base. The screw-on lid rotates between three positions (straw, sip, seal), the comfort-grip handle makes it easy to tote everywhere and yes—it’s dishwasher safe. Pair all that with its dreamy, limited-edition colors that sell out instantly, and it’s clear why the Quencher has basically achieved celebrity status on TikTok.

For the golfer

30. Marta Cornwell 19th Hole Cocktail Stirrers

uncommon goods

For the golfer who knows the real fun begins at the 19th hole, these stainless-steel cocktail stirrers are shaped like mini clubs—a putter, an iron, a wedge and a driver. At 7 inches tall, they’re long enough to twirl through a gin and tonic yet sturdy enough to spear an olive. Made from recycled stainless steel and dishwasher-safe, they bring a little country-club flair to cocktails at home. Consider it the ultimate gift for the golfer who already has every gadget in their bag—but still likes their drinks well-dressed.

For quick healthy snacks

31. Fullstar The Original Pro Chopper

amazon

Snacking smarter doesn’t have to mean spending all night chopping veggies—this TikTok-famous veggie chopper takes the work out of meal prep. Just press down and it dices tomatoes, cucumbers, onions—anything you throw at it—into neat, bite-sized pieces in seconds. The stainless steel blades stay razor sharp, the built-in container keeps your counters mess-free, and the whole thing is dishwasher safe (no scrubbing required). It’s the easiest way to whip up fresh pico de gallo, salad toppers or a crunchy side for dinner without dirtying three cutting boards and a chef’s knife.

For the luxury beauty lover

32. Merit The Mini Flush Blush Balm Trio

merit

Merit’s cult-favorite Flush Balm just got the gift set treatment—and trust us, this trio is worth it. You get three minis (Postmodern, Le Bonbon and Redux) of the viral cream blush that PureWow editors can’t stop raving about. Beauty Editor Chelsea Candelario called it “gentle yet highly effective” and loved how it “melted nicely onto my skin without any irritation or greasiness,” noting that the microfine pigments leave the kind of blurred-edge flush that looks like your skin—only better. Lightweight, buildable and vitamin E–infused, these pocket-sized pots are perfect for throwing in a bag (or gifting to your most beauty-obsessed friend) so they can keep a natural glow going all season.

For the aesthetic little girl

33. Minted Lola Dutch Puzzle

minted

For the little girl who insists on wearing tutus to breakfast and calls every scribble “her masterpiece,” the Lola Dutch Puzzle is a gift that feels made just for her. Based on the artist’s whimsical picture book, this 200-piece set brings Lola’s colorful world to life—complete with ballerinas, paint palettes and nods to famous works of art she’ll one day recognize in a museum. At just the right level of challenge for little hands (with a bit of grown-up help), it’s a fun way to nurture her creative eye while keeping her entertained on cozy afternoons. Once finished, the vibrant scene looks so pretty you’ll want to leave it out on display.

For the Green Thumb

34. My Little Belleville New Lavender Gardening Gloves

Etsy/My Little Belleville

Sure, your mom may already have a pair or two of gardening gloves, but trust us, she’ll still be delighted to receive these beautiful lavender-printed gloves to add to her collection. They’re made of a soft cotton-polyester blend with a durable dotted grip pattern to make it easier to grab at weeds. Lavender not mom’s vibe? You can also opt for radishes, bees, marigolds, mushrooms, carrots, butterflies, rabbits or the Eiffel Tower.

For the gourmet snack lover

35. Sugarwish Gourmet Pantry Set

sugarwish

This isn’t your run-of-the-mill gift basket—it’s a choose-your-own-adventure for foodies. The Gourmet Pantry Sugarwish lets your recipient pick from 20+ small-batch spreads, from tangy mustards to joyful jams and decadent dessert sauces. You just select the size (starting at $25) and they get to curate their own lineup, which arrives in a sleek gift box complete with a printed note card. Each set comes with a spoon and knife for instant tasting, and the best part is that they’re actually picking flavors they’ll like (goodbye, dusty chutney jar at the back of the cabinet). 

For the Birthday Obsessed

36. Birthdate Co. Candle

Birthdate Co.

Your mother-in-law is obsessed with her birthday—like, celebrates all month long obsessed—so why not help her extend the celebration for a little longer? Or 60 to 80 hours or burn time, to be exact. This all-natural soy and coconut wax blend candle comes printed with her exact birth date, alongside fun facts about the day including zodiac and tarot card details, her lucky number, her ruling planet and more. You can even get it printed with her name for just $5 more.

For the guy who needs a new scent

37. Dossier Ambery Lavender Cologne

Dossier

If you’ve ever wondered what Denzel Washington smells like (besides pure charisma), the answer is Armani Code—and this bottle nails it for a fraction of the price. Dossier’s Ambery Lavender layers lavender, bergamot, and grapefruit with tarragon, cedarwood, and tonka bean for a scent that’s warm, magnetic, and just a little dangerous. It’s got the sophistication of a black-tie event with the kind of staying power that lingers long after the goodbyes. Consider it the ultimate gift for the man in your life who deserves a signature fragrance that’s as iconic as he is.

For the couple who loves tiktok

38. Uncommon Goods Couples Portrait Painting Class

uncommon goods

Any couple who scrolls TikTok together has seen the trend: you paint a portrait of your partner, then nearly choke on your wine when you see how bad it turns out. This virtual watercolor class takes that idea and gives it a romantic spin, with artist Annie Monaghan guiding you through portraits that are equal parts hilarious and heartfelt. You’ll start with a minute of eye-gazing (cheesy but weirdly effective), then sketch, transfer and paint until you each have a keepsake that’s more “Renoir” than “kindergarten art project.” It’s equal parts couples therapy, art experiment and memory-maker—and way more fun than another night of Netflix.

Here, another blanket (but make it couture). This Lauren by Ralph Lauren throw takes the typical throw and elevates it to heirloom status, woven from soft yarns in a chunky cable pattern and finished with a 3-inch ribbed trim. The embroidered monogram at the corner whispers sophistication, while single-needle lock stitching ensures it holds its shape through every machine wash (yes, it’s washable). At 50" by 60", it’s also the perfect size to drape over an armchair or fold at the end of a bed. TL;DR? It’s the gift for the person who already has the cashmere sweater, the monogrammed stationery, the weekend house upstate—and can never have too many quality throws.

For the Notetaker

40. Papier x Anthropologie Monogram Journal

anthropologie

Make note-taking a little more noteworthy with this monogrammed journal from Anthropologie. It comes with 92 lined pages, front and back, that are just waiting in anticipation to have ink splashed on ‘em. A journalist, comedian, author, financial planner, research analyst, entrepreneur, stay-at-home mother or what have you may have colossal differences in responsibilities on paper, but at the end of the day, they all have one thing in common: they need to get sh*t done. What better way to tackle that checklist than with a fresh notepad that just so happens to be splashed with thick retro stripes and bright colors? Nothing says personal quite like a darling notebook with your initial emblazoned on the cover.

For Gamers of All Ages

41. Dixit Board Game

Dixit

“I love Dixit as a fun, easy-to-learn game that the whole fam can enjoy,” says Fashion Editor and board game aficionado Abby Hepworth. Designed for three to eight players, Dixit takes about 30 minutes to play. Players pull from a stack of beautifully illustrated cards and take turns giving clues and guessing which card belongs to which player. “It’s really easy to pick up and although the box recommends the game for players ages 8 and up, I’ve played with my niece when she was 6 and we had a grand ‘ole time,” says Hepworth. Game night, anyone?

For the subtle beauty lover

42. Gisou Sparkle & Spritz Gift Set

Gisou

Hair perfumes are having a moment right now—and this Gisou gift set makes it easy to get in on the trend. Inside the box, you’ll find two bestsellers: the Honey Infused Hair Perfume in Wildflower Honey (a lightweight mist that leaves hair subtly scented while adding shine and hydration) and the Honey Infused Lip Oil in Watermelon Sugar (a glossy pink tint with a hint of shimmer). “I loved the deep, yet subtle wildflower honey scent. It’s light enough to layer with other fragrances but still makes my hair feel fresh and polished,” says former PureWow Editor Delia Curtis. It’s the kind of duo that looks luxe on a vanity but is also compact enough to throw in your bag for on-the-go touchups.

For weeknight dinner upgrades

43. More Is More by Molly Baz

Amazon

If you’ve been cooking the same three weeknight meals on repeat, Molly Baz is here to save your skillet. More Is More is her maximalist, flavor-packed cookbook that’s all about loosening up in the kitchen and leaning into bold combos (think Dill Pickle Chicken with Nectarine and Crispy Rice Salad). Each of the 100 recipes is designed to help you take risks and ditch perfectionism—whether that’s frying up crispy rice for breakfast or pulling off an ooey-gooey carrot cake for dessert. As VP of Editorial Candace Davison put it after testing Molly’s Dill Pickle Chicken, “Whether my kids would try it was a different story, but I was willing to gamble—and I was sold.” Equal parts playful and practical, this book makes dinner feel fun again.

For Cold Feet

44. Cozy Earth The Plush Lounge Sock

Cozy Earth

Cozy Earth doesn’t just make sheets worth obsessing over—their socks are equally legendary. Plush yet breathable, this three-pack is crafted from a bamboo-derived viscose blend that keeps feet warm without ever feeling stifled. They’re moisture-wicking, long-lasting and designed with subtle ribbing to resist pilling, which means they’ll stay soft and cloud-like wash after wash. Available in classic neutrals, they’re the kind of elevated basics you’ll want to gift in multiples—because once someone slips these on, they’ll never want to go back to regular socks.

For the aspiring photographer

45. Poooliprint Inkless Pocket Printer

Amazon

Whether it’s a teen who wants to make their bedroom walls look like an indie film set or a parent who can’t resist printing fridge-worthy snaps, this inkless instant photo printer is as fun as it is practical. It’s pocket-sized, Bluetooth-enabled, and pairs with the free Poooli app, so you can shoot, edit, and print black-and-white photos straight from your phone in seconds. Each roll of paper (one’s included) prints about 100 pics—perfect for mini photo diaries, scrapbooks, or labeling everything in sight. The photos come out with a soft, vintage feel (200 dpi, not HD), which only adds to the charm. Plus, with a 24-hour rechargeable battery, it’s ready for sleepovers, vacations, or spontaneous art projects.

For boozy kids' soccer games

46. Corkcicle Classic Stemless Insulated Wine Tumbler

Corkcircle

If you’ve ever watched a kids’ soccer game and thought, this could really use a Sauvignon Blanc, this Corkcicle stemless tumbler makes the perfect gift. It’s triple-insulated to keep 12 ounces of their favorite beverage cold for six hours (or hot for three, if they’re more of a mulled-wine-in-November type). With a stay-put silicone bottom, flat sides for an easy grip and a shatter-proof lid (read: no mid-game disasters), it’s as functional as it is chic. Plus, it comes in nine colors—from glossy turquoise to muted rose quartz—so you can match their vibe. 

Here, a gift that says I love you, but also let’s have more fun in bed. The Lovehoney Ignite Vibrating Love Ring is a couple’s toy disguised as a gift for him. Made from ultra-smooth silicone, it slips on easily (with a little lube) and delivers 20 different vibration functions—three steady speeds and 17 patterns—for shared pleasure. It’s stretchy, rechargeable (USB included), and waterproof, so yes, you can bring it into the shower. Plus, it has a 100-minute run time, a discreet travel lock and it even comes with its own storage bag. Think of it as the kind of present that keeps giving—literally.

49. Anthropologie Icon Hair Scarves (Set of 2)

Anthropologie

Bad hair day? Frizz they can’t fight? Or maybe you have a friend who wants to add a little French-girl flair to their look. Whatever the case, headscarves are the answer—and they’re trending everywhere right now. This Anthropologie set includes two 28-inch squares to play with, meaning endless styling possibilities: tie one around a ponytail, wrap it bandanna-style, loop it onto your tote or even knot it as a belt. The silky polyester finish makes them look luxe without the silk price tag, and the colors are just as versatile—choose from Cameo, Rust, Black, Gems/Black Floral, Raspberry, or the playful Playing Cards print. It’s the kind of accessory that’ll save them on rushed mornings and makes a plain tee feel intentional.

For the Tea Aficionado

50. The Tea Spot Satin Tea Mug

The Tea Spot

Tea drinkers will swoon for this handy set, which features a lustrous tea mug, stainless-steel tea filter and two-in-one saucer that doubles as a lid. Thanks to the filter, you’ll get the option to steep loose-leaf teas or nix it altogether and use a teabag to enjoy your cuppa. Made by artisans, the 16-ounce ceramic mug is handcrafted using lead-free, cadmium-free and BPA-free materials. And it has a satin glaze finish that’s available to purchase in six gorgeous hues meant to conjure nature. We have our eye on the fiery red and soft sage, but fans of baby blue will adore the London Fog colorway. The care instructions on this are simple, too. Throw it in the dishwasher along with the rest of your grimy dishes, but whatever you do, don’t microwave the metal infuser. Happy sipping.

For the One Who Forgets a Purse

51. Coach Corner Zip Wristlet

Coach Outlet

Tom Wambsgans might’ve been onto something…who needs a ludicrously capacious bag when you can own a darling Coach wristlet? Crafted in cross-grain leather with a sleek fabric lining and built-in card slots, this compact 6 ¼” x 4” bag holds the essentials—cards, cash, keys, a lip gloss—without weighing you down. It’s polished enough to pass as an evening bag, practical enough for concerts or travel and luxe enough to feel special in any of the five colorways (taupe, black, navy, citron, or chalk). It’s the kind of gift that feels thoughtful, useful and just a little indulgent.

Coloring books aren’t just for kids anymore—especially when they drop a few well-placed F-bombs. This Amazon bestseller has 86 pages of swear-filled motivational phrases, paired with detailed designs that keep your hands busy and your brain chilled out. Each page is backed with black paper to prevent bleed-through, so you can go full tilt with markers or gel pens without ruining the next design. It’s funny, cathartic and surprisingly soothing—the kind of gift that makes stress relief feel a little less “mindful meditation” and a lot more fun.

For Year-Round Winter Joy

53. Anthropologie Festive Icon Juice Glass

anthropologie

“I definitely plan to scoop up some of these adorable glasses from Anthropologie to gift all my friends and family this winter,” says Assistant Commerce Editor Natalie LaBarbera. “I’ve been seeing them *all over* my Instagram feed and can’t resist anymore. I adore the seasonal designs but they also come in tons of other options that will work year-round.” These cheerful glass mugs are hand-wash only, but are well worth the little extra effort in our opinion. Because who doesn’t want a miniature penguin buddy to accompany their morning tea or afternoon cocoa?

For the Adventure Seeker

54. Uncommon Goods The Adventure Challenge Scrapbook

Uncommon Goods

If your date nights (or weekends hanging out with friends) have started to feel a little…predictable, this adventure scrapbook is a built-in reset button. Each edition—whether you go with couples, friends, family or the Polaroid bundle—comes with 50 hidden challenges designed to push you out of your comfort zone and into something you’d never plan on your own. Think: swapping Netflix for a pickup baseball game with an orange, or letting fate decide the night’s activity with a scratch-off reveal. The fun is in the spontaneity, but the best part is documenting each adventure as you go—you end up with a keepsake that’s as full of memories as it is ideas.

For the Distance Runner

55. SOREL Viibe Clog

sorel

For your sister who makes a messy bun look intentional and somehow pulls off trousers with sneakers, the Sorel Viibe Clog is exactly her vibe. With a molded EVA footbed, lightweight midsole and chunky-yet-streamlined silhouette, these slip-ons are stylish without trying too hard. They come in a gorgeous black leather that works with everything in her closet and the cushioned build that means she’ll want to wear them all day, every day—whether that’s to the office, the farmer’s market or a dinner date. Think of it as the shoe equivalent of her go-to oversized blazer: polished enough to impress, comfortable enough to live in.

For the Busy Beauty Enthusiast

56. SKIN GYM IceCool Ice Roller

Skin Gym

ICYDK, entrepreneur Lauryn Evarts Bosstick is the beauty and brains behind lifestyle brand, The Skinny Confidential. That’s where this viral ice roller comes in. It garnered over 258 million views on TikTok, undoubtedly because of its aesthetically cute AF design AND beneficial properties. This large pink roller uses cold therapy to, according to the brand, reduce face and eye puffiness and improve the look of wrinkles and fine lines. Bosstick told PureWow in a recent interview that she uses her ice roller on a daily. Simply store it in the freezer and use it in the mornings upon waking, letting the cool stainless-steel roll along your face, neck and décolletage. The freezing temperature is said to promote blood circulation, ridding you of any puffiness and making the skin appear firmer, per the brand. Hot tip: Use the ice roller with your serums and creams to enhance the products’ absorption into your skin.

For the Toddler

57. BFFS & Babes Hoppy Cups Personalized Tumbler

BFFS & Babes

If your little one is lucky, the Easter bunny just might come early this year thanks to this sweet Hoppy cup that gives your kiddos’ sippy cup the upgrade it deserves. Best for ages 3 and up, this 14-ounce cup is made from a BPA free plastic, and the bottle can be personalized with 15 characters of text. Moms will understand that this is a lifesaver when it comes to juice ownership amongst the siblings. The Hoppy tumbler can prevent a major meltdown the next time there’s ‘Who’s cup is it, anyway?’ fiasco. What’s more, they’ll each get their own neon straw with each order. Our only qualm? It can’t go in the dishwasher, so it might take some time to hit all the nooks and crannies as you hand wash the two-day-old sticky apple juice away.

For the necklace stacker

58. Anthropologie Bubble Letter Monogram Necklace

anthropologie

This gold-tone monogram necklace is one of those gifts that feels personal without trying too hard. The 15-inch piece is made from gold-plated brass with a lobster clasp, designed to be minimal, delicate and wearable every single day. While the plating may naturally fade over time (thanks to the copper and zinc underneath), with proper care, it can last for years as a go-to staple. It’s the kind of chic, customized jewelry that works for any occasion—anniversaries, bachelorettes, birthdays—or just because you know they’ll never take it off.

For Grandparents Who Crave Grandkid Pics

59. Aluratek LCD Digital Photo Frame with Auto Slideshow

Aluratek

Nonna and Pops won’t need a crash course in tech to fall in love with this frame—it plays photos of the grandkids on loop, no swiping or battery charging required. At 8.5 x 7 inches (so it looks just like a regular picture frame), this digital version holds up to 32 GB of memories in crisp 800 x 600 resolution. All you do is plug it in, pop in a USB or SIM card and voilà—the slideshow begins. Reviewers rave about how easy it is for older relatives to use: “I bought this for my mother who is 83…she absolutely loves it and will sit and watch the entire slideshow instead of TV,” writes one. The best part? You can keep updating the flash drive with new photos, so they’ll always have something fresh to smile at.

Best for the Cocoa Sophisticate

60. Compartés LA Chocolate Bar Collection

COMPARTÉS

This isn’t your standard box of chocolates—it’s Compartés, the Los Angeles chocolatier with 75+ years of experience and a cult following for flavors you won’t find at the drugstore checkout. This limited-edition box comes dressed in a California sunset design and holds four of the brand’s most-loved creations: donuts, potato chip, strawberry shortcake and brownie. Curtis sums it up best: “Compartés is to DIE for. Their innovative chocolates and unique flavor profiles will always be some of my favorites. They are a bit pricey which is why it makes a good gift. I wouldn’t always splurge for a bar or bars for myself, but if someone gifts them to me, I am the happiest of campers.”
