1.A tub of First Aid Beauty compostable face pads to help exfoliate the dry skin away. Use it regularly *only* if you want to refine the texture and appearance of your skin and prepare your face for a smooth makeup application.
2.E.l.f. bronzing drops that'll give you that sun-kissed look sans the harsh sun. When it's too hot to dance under the rays, just use this for a naturally enhanced radiance that also packs a dose of vitamin E and sunflower seed oil.

Promising review: "I have mature, combo, acne-prone skin. I had tried the drunk elephant bronze drops before and those broke me out. I’ve been using this for about 3 weeks and it’s worked perfectly! For a quarter of the price too! I also use this with the E.l.f. hydro-primer. ??????" —h
Price: $12 (available in three colors)
3.A megaslicks lip gloss for when you're ready to get Wet n Wild with your pout. The gloss blends hyaluronic acid, collagen, sunflower oil, and vitamin E with a unique glaze of jojoba oil to moisturize the lips and leave you with super shine.
4.An extra strength OGX damage remedy and coconut oil designed to penetrate the scalp to tame frizz and leave medium to coarse hair silky, smooth, and hydrated. Oh, and reviewers say it smells *AMAZING.*
5.A blooming mid-year planner because the beginning of the year didn't start out quite like you planned. (Probably because you didn't plan.) It's not too late to get organized and set goals for the future. This planner started in July and will carry through the middle of 2025. It has a weekly and monthly view and a section to list priorities, important things to remember, and a place for notes.

6.A 6-cup electric rice cooker that can not only cook rice at the bottom but also steam and cook food at the top, such as potstickers, fish, veggies, and more.
7.A set of closet shelf dividers to help you organize your closet into actual sections instead of one heap of *stuff* collecting dust on the top shelf.
8.A gorgeous golden metal jaw clip you can keep in your bag to put your hair up at a moment's notice and still be oh-so-stylish.
9.A cropped square neck tee with a lightweight fabric and a good stretch so you can wear it comfortably all day, every day — whether you're out and about or sleeping.
10.A 4-in-1 skin spatula so you can clean out the debris that's trapped in your skin. Your pores will never look better.
11.A Roku Ultra 4K because you can't resist a good marathon session of your favorite '90s sitcom. The best thing about this particular player is that it comes with a place to plug in headphones. You'll be able to watch until the wee hours without disturbing your partner or roommates.
12.The Worst-Case Scenario Card Game — a fun game where you'll be flooded with a ton of scenarios that you'll have to rank from not so bad to the worst (hence the name of the game). You might be surprised your friends find swimming with sharks not as bad as running into an ex.
13.A stoneware dinner bowl because it's also a plate and plates that are bowls are definitely ~the moment~.
14.A pack of pep talk postcards in case you enjoy making people smile. You can also send one to yourself; it might arrive at the exact moment you need an encouraging word.

17.A Batman Rubik's cuber so while he's taking a break from protecting Gotham City, you can take a break solving his puzzle. Riddle me this: Who else in Gotham City likes puzzles? ??
18.A NYX setting spray ready to lock in your makeup so it doesn't budge while you're out serving face to the town folk. It'll take you through your work day and into your after-hours night. Apply your makeup, spray, and enjoy your dewy satin finish.
19.A pastel commuter backpack ready to go with you wherever you roam. It has room for your laptop, headphones, water bottle, and so much more. You can even slide it over the trolley of your rolling luggage for easier travel. It's also really cute and can be worn as a backpack or carried as a handbag.
Target
Promising reviews: "Love the bag! It's not a big bag to drag around but has enough space inside for all your needs. I carry two laptops, a bag organizer, two notebooks, a calendar, and more, with space left to add additional items. I like how you can carry it as a backpack or a bag." —anonymous

24.An Uno No Mercy game — fair warning: relationships may never be the same after playing. Uno games are always tense, but nothing will prepare you for your own mother to slam down a draw 10 with glee. This means war!
Target
Promising review: "This game will definitely ruin friendships! It’s really fun to play when you actually follow the rules. It’s easily the best UNO game I’ve played so far. It’s become a staple in my family. It also makes a good stocking stuffer :)" —Steph

25.A bottle of Being Frenshe hair, body, and linen mist that reviewers say is a godsend for people who love to smell amazing without spending a ton on expensive perfumes. Plus, you can use it on your body, hair, and linens. Did you just create a signature scent? ??
Target
Promising review: "Just like the lotion and body wash, this perfume is amazing and smells so wonderful. I spray it every day before work, and I can honestly say it lasts. After eight hours, I can still smell it on my clothes and hair. I receive so many compliments on how I smell daily because of this. You need this perfume if you’re looking for something lasting, affordable, good quality, and fresh. It’s the perfect scent for spring." —elee13
