1.A portable clip speaker your friend can use to play their favorite tunes wherever and whenever, whether this is hooked on a towel holder in their bathroom, or on their backpack during a hike. This may be small and cute, but the sound quality is mighty and loud!

2.A TikTok-famous Ninja ice cream maker that will make frozen treats so creamy, your giftee might wonder if they should open their own shop. They can create homemade ice cream, sorbet, or frozen yogurt — all with ingredients they can actually pronounce — and even add fun bites like cereal, cookie dough, or chocolate chips! Tons of people love to use this for protein-packed ice cream, or for their keto-friendly sweet treats!

3.A 2-in-1 coffee and espresso machine because it uses pods to create the perfect cup of joe or shot of espresso every single time. That means your giftee won't have to fumble with filters or loose coffee grounds while they make themselves a caffeinated bevvie. Plus, I have this machine, and I'd argue that it's sometimes better than my $8 order at the coffee shop...

4.A Bissell SpotClean ProHeat Pet portable carpet cleaner that is everything when it comes to cleaning up mistakes! Sure, people use this to clean fabric from weird pet stains and smells — but this cleaner has saved my white velvet dining room chairs from tomato sauce stains, my carpet from wine stains, and my couch from spills! If you have a clean-obsessed friend who just moved into their new digs, they'll love you for this one.

5.A Sweet Tooth Caramel Dream Eau de Parfum by Sabrina Carpenter that smells exactly how it sounds — like a sweet yet elevated vanilla with a hint of salty caramel. It's the perfect gift for anyone who wants an adult version of the Y2K warm vanilla body spray that shall not be named.

6.A set of Velcro rollers (hear me out now) if your pal is into the look of a voluminous blowout without all the work. I have a set similar to this and I honestly think I don't need to get blowouts anymore — this creates a sleek shine while adding body that lasts for days.

7.A salted coconut and mahogany candle that sounds like the epitome of cozy vibes. The warmth of mahogany mingles with the deep gourmand notes in salted coconut, creating a scent that basically smells like eating a bougie dessert near a fireplace. This is the perfect gift for any holiday party host!

8.A 12-piece Cuisinart knife set so your pal will never have to wonder if they just used the chicken knife to cut a radish again.

9.A Paris Hilton mini fridge basically like Stanley Cup for beauty products. This fridge has the capacity to keep sheet masks and serums cool (obvi, it's a fridge) — BUT It also has a WARMER function! Basically, your loved one can warm wet towels or gua sha tools for a truly spa-like experience. Oh, and its door is a mirror — a perfect use of space for people living that dorm life.

10.A snail mucin toner, because snail mucin is K-Beauty's secret to hydrated and glowing skin — and your skincare-obsessed niece definitely already has the ingredient on their wishlist. This toner also contains cica to calm redness in breakouts, and hyaluronic acid to further plump the complexion.

11.A compact portable charger so you can help your wanderlust friend never run out of battery (i.e., lose their GPS, gah!) while in a new city! It's small, too, so it'll fit in any going-out clutch they wear.

12.A huge crochet yarn and hook set that comes with almost every color and tool they'll need to make booties for everyone through 2024.

13.A jade gua sha and face roller set your friend can use any time of the day — in the a.m., they can use the gua sha tool to get rid of puffiness, and throughout the day, they can use the roller to relieve muscle tension. At night, they can use both to help their skincare seep into their pores and give themselves a cleansing lymphatic massage!

14.A mini heart-shaped waffle maker, because who wouldn't be so excited to make breakfast in cute shapes every morning?! If your pal aligns with the love at first sight trope at all, then this is probably already on their wish list.

15.And while we're talking pretty kitchenware, a two-slice touchscreen toaster so aesthetically pleasing, your giftee will forget it's an actual gadget and not a work of art. This toaster has a cute touchscreen with different settings and intensity levels so that they'll never have to worry about burning their breakfast again!

16.A body exfoliation set aka the pinnacle of all at-home spa sets. If your pal raves about their #EverythingShower routine, they'll enjoy the clean feel that these loofah, bath sponges, and exfoliating gloves can provide. Plus! These products are all amazing ways to relieve things like ingrown hairs and keratosis pilaris — they'll truly enter 2024 with soft skin thanks to you!

17.A smart notebook for your work spouse who wants all the power of sticky notes and a paperback journal without the paper part! These notebooks look standard — they're sleek, compact, and come with a cool pen. HOWEVER, this actually remembers everything that they jot or draw, and uploads lists, sketches, or journal entries directly to their phone! Once they're done using a page, they can simply wipe the ink away and it'll be as good as new.

18.Or a night sky journal if your partner is more analog and has expressed interest in journaling but doesn't know where to start. This is a simple, lined notebook, making it a great for nightly free writes! If your partner's more advanced, though, they can use this to create a bespoke bullet journal!

19.A Shark HyperAir hair dryer designed to speed up the drying and styling process. Your giftee can use the concentrated styler tool to whisk moisture from their hair and give themselves a salon-quality blowout in a flash!

20.And a stainless-steel water bottle mug, because it keeps drinks cool for hours and comes with a handy straw! This is perfect for your gym buddy who needs a new way to track their water intake.
