    Just 40 Useful Products That Would Make Really Great Gifts (For Loved Ones Or For Yourself)

    Because no one wants a dust collector of a gift.

    1. A 3-in-1 foldable magnetic wireless charger that doesn't mess around. It can charge an iPhone, set of AirPods, *and* an Apple Watch all at the same time. It also folds down into a tiny, packable square that can easily fit in a purse, pocket, backpack, and more!

    gif of a reviewer's video them pulling out the black version from its compact size all the way out to the three part mat

    Promising review: "I use this product to charge my IPhone 13, AirPods, and Apple Watch. Prior to this 3-in-1 compact purchase, I have purchased three different kinds of 3-in-1 chargers — I frequently travel between school and home with carry-on bags on airlines and all of the previous stand version chargers doesn't fit well in my bags or I am always worried I would break. This is compact and folds so well that I can fit in my carry-on or in any zipper pockets without having to worry about breaking anything. Charger works really well and it is the best compact one you can find in market. Love it and been using it for two months now and no issues!!" —SBREDDY

    Promising review: "OH MY LANTA. PURCHASE THIS NOW. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT. I found this on TikTok and saw the gal's review and had to buy it. I have thick hair and this dries my hair in less than 15 minutes. PLUS I don’t have to fuss with a straightener or a curling iron if I don’t want to! It leaves my hair so soft and shiny and gives it SO MUCH VOLUME! I recommend this to ANYONE I talk to about it. Seriously my favorite styling tool. Seriously so in love." —Sydney

    As someone who loves to spend time in the kitchen, I'm constantly on the lookout for new products to help me on the road to good eats. Don't let its "mini" name fool you: this not-so-little gem combines functionality with (kitchen) fashion! It can cook food any which way (boiling, steaming, stewing – you name it!) while being completely nonstick. It's even complete with a built-in spoon rest, dual pouring spouts, and a strainable lid, so you won't even need to dirty a colander when emptying the water from your festive simmer pot into the sink. Plus, it looks darn good on a stove top or dining table when it comes time to serve.

    Get it from Our Place for $125 (available in six colors). You can also get the full-size Perfect Pot or the Mini Home Cook Duo, which includes the mini versions of the Perfect Pot and bestselling Always Pan.

    Promising review: "I had an older generation Kindle Paperwhite and loved it, I used it very frequently. I chose to upgrade after seven years because I really wanted the warm light feature, and it doesn’t disappoint! I also love that I can flip to dark mode easily, too. The bigger display and flush screen are an added bonus – I feel I can get through my books faster this way and it feels more like a standard paperback-sized book. I’m in love with it!" –Sean

    The six seed kits includes Genovese and Thai basil, parsley, dill, thyme, and mint.

    Promising review: "Great for small spaces and black thumbs! This is amazing. I've wanted to have a little garden in my apartment forever but have killed every herb plant I've bought from the store. Aerograden is so simple. You just plug it in, add water, plant food, and the pods. The garden does everything else for you. Very low maintenance. All you have to do is add plant food every two weeks and change the water once a month. I started my garden and two days later one of the lettuce pods I bought separately sprouted. I look forward to seeing the changes in my garden every morning." —MsResponsible

    Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with 2-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).

    reviewer photo of them wearing a pink beanie

    Promising review: "I bought this in charcoal and lost it on a trip, so I bought the exact color again because I missed it so much. Now I'm back to buy it in more colors. It is thick (because it's a watch cap) but I wear it year-round in Dallas or Chicago: as titled, it's my favorite hat. The fit is snug to the point that I can sling it back without it falling off and it fits over my afro or straight hair the same and doesn't lose is stretch after washing." –CE.

    9. A cloud-shaped magnetic key holder for the person in your life who's constantly patting their pockets and asking "have you seen my keys?" (to which you can now reply "did you check the cloud?").

    Promising review: "This is the cutest way to hold keys ever! And it was mad easy to install: peel and stick. I don’t know how I ever survived just using a hook instead of this cute magnet cloud. Excellent housewarming gift too. I now take it with wine as a gift for any friends/family moving." —Clemmie C.

    Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with 2-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).

    Uncommon Goods

    Promising review: "Honestly I laughed at myself for buying this. I stopped laughing the first time I used it! What a help! It freed me up to do other things while it stirred the sauce that needed constant attention. Bought another one! Not laughing now!" —Luvdvm

    Shipping info: Fees are calculated at checkout; economy shipping typically takes 7–9 business days but standard, expedited, and express shipping are all available for varying fees.

    Get it from Uncommon Goods for $25+ (available in battery-powered and rechargeable options).

    11. A set of six Cadence containers here to revamp your favorite jetsetter's way of setting jets. These little gems hold a surprising amount of product, are magnetic, and have a removable and customizable label, so they won't accidentally use shampoo as facial cleanser and vice versa.

    Cadence

    Cadence is an AAPI woman-owned small business that was founded by Steph Hon as a way to eliminate single-use travel-sized plastics. The containers are made from recycled ocean-bound plastic. 

    BuzzFeed editor Abby Kass raves: "I recently got a set of four of these, and, wow, I love them so much. I used them on a six-day trip and they were perfect. I customized the label so I knew which one was my shampoo vs. conditioner and did a general label for any other things I wanted to bring along. They do hold a surprising amount. According to the brand, they hold approximately one to two weeks of skincare products, more than two weeks' worth of serum, two to three days' worth of haircare, and more than 15 tablets (for medicine and such). And while two to three days worth of haircare might not seem like enough, I found it held more than that for me, but I also don't wash my hair every single day. They were small enough to slip right into my toiletries bag and go through TSA with no problem. The container was easy to open in the shower (even with wet hands), and I had no leakage from them (like I did from my face wash bottle that will not be making the trip with me next time. SMH). These are an incredibly useful tool anyone who travels will want in their luggage."

    Shipping info: For standard shipping, orders placed on or before Dec., 10 should arrive by Christmas (expedited and overnight shipping are available after that). To learn more, read their full holiday shipping policy.

    Get a set of six from Cadence for $84 (available in customizable labels and colors, and also as a set of 12). 

    12. An easy-to-use cold brew maker because their favorite accessory is an iced coffee but they really shouldn't spend *all* of their disposable income at Starbucks.

    Promising review: "I have some stomach issues and hot brewed coffee can make me feel queasy, or make my stomach hurt. The reduced acidity of using the cold brew makes a marked difference for me. The flavor is smoother and more flavorful." —Kimberly

    Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with 2-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).

    Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in two sizes and in three colors).

    13. And an oh-so-practical iced coffee caddy so you can take it one step further by accessorizing their favorite accessory. These canvas caddies make it easy to hold cold beverages on frigid days, which means their fingers won't be subject to an icy numbing process.

    BuzzFeed editor Emma Lord loves this gadget! She raves: "I love it for the convenience of texting on the go! These even have a holder for a straw if you happen to get iced coffee or bubble tea and don't want to stick the straw into the drink just yet. I've found this to be very sturdy and easy to use, plus they're a fun conversation starter — people always want to know where I got it!"

    Promising review: "I wanted a jewelry box for travel that didn't leave things tangled, or hard to find, and that didn't need to be unrolled to see everything. This box is perfect! The size is just right for my two-month trip, I can bring everything I need. The inside cushions are soft and the dividers seem very sturdy. While it is short, I feel like I can double wrap the necklaces and I like that there is a pocket to keep them contained. I love the color as well, it's very rich. I can't wait to use it on my trip!" —Beth S.

    Shipping info: Free; typically arrives within five days (see Amazon's full shipping information here).

    Momofuku

    The variety pack consists of Momofuku's Original Chili Crunch, along with Black Truffle, Hot Honey, Extra Spicy, and Ghost Pepper. 

    Promising review: "Great, amazing, ridiculous – those are the words that describe the jars I received. The original is so great on nearly everything. The spicy is amazing on pizza and my wife's homemade dumplings. Then there's the truffle, omg the truffle is just ridiculous, just a whole other lever of taste. Going to be checking out more products pretty quick here." –Pantalion S.

    Shipping info: Ships up to five days after purchase.

    Get it from Momofuku for $74 (or get them individually here).

    17. An Esarora Ice Roller they can ~glide~ over their face whenever it's feeling puffy or tense, and even to help soothe things like headaches and sunburns. You'd basically be booking them a facial appointment from the comfort of their own home without spending a ton of $$$!

    Clara McMahon / BuzzFeed

    I recently picked up this ice roller to help de-puff and energize my puffy and tired face in the morning. The roller head is detachable, so I keep it in the freezer then pop it onto the body of the tool when I'm ready to use it. I also put a thin layer of facial oil or moisturizer on first, just to help it ~glide~ easier. Oh and BTW, you can *also* use it on sore or tense muscles too (I'm looking at you, neck and shoulders). Just be sure to clean it regularly and roll on, baby! Check out the 15,000+ 5-star reviews if you don't believe me!

    Promising review: "This watering can is so easy to use, and it holds a lot more water than you would think by the size.

Both look very nice on the shelf where I house my plants in front of a window." —MC Phillips

    Promising review: "Gorgeous! Perfect for propogating plants or throwing in small flowers. You have to put this together yourself, but it's easy with the instructions. In order to clean the glass, you have to take all of the pieces off the rod at once, so you will need a helper. There are rubber stoppers in between each glass, which keep them in place." —Paulina

    reviewer photo of the cap off to show the salt on the top of the remover

    Promising review: "After just two days of use, this adorable little octopus has done wonders for me, smells great too. Here's how I used it: I wore down the stick just a little to where the texture from the salt is visible, scrubbed around on my face so there was plenty of product, then I used my fingers to gently massage all the gunk away. Rinse, pat dry, and enjoy the softness. Highly recommended for people with sensitive skin like myself." —LuckLocust

They enjoyed the pictures and making a book with all the activities they did with family and friends. It's easy to use. The instructions are small so you might need a magnifying glass for them, but once we figured it out, we have taken it everywhere with us." –Bonni Hammer

But it's also just such a good balm to use on dry skin – I use it literally everywhere on my face if it's dry and sometimes on my elbows." –EG

If you have someone who loves tea, this is a great gift for them!!" –Haley Decker

    Promising review: "I don't write a lot of reviews, so this skillet must be something. I've never used a cast-iron skillet, but my mother used one for cornbread and my father used one for everything. I have to say: I didn't know what I was missing. Most, if not all, reviews I saw had Lodge at the top for value, durability, and for cooking period – and I have to agree. Once you season it three or four times, it works like a dream. I can't say anymore about it other than try it." –smooth88

    Promising review: "These are the GOAT of all sanitizers. My family is *obsessed*. Applelicious and Watermelon are my favorites. I love how they all smell and how they aren't sticky on your hands, but I appreciate how my son loves to put them on so I feel safer with him going out. They are the perfect size to slide in your pocket (or your kid's on the sly lolz). Highfive to Touchland. 💗" –Sarah

    33. A set of three reusable Swedish dishcloths so they can rid their kitchen of wasteful paper towels and sponges and upgrade to something far more convenient and eco-friendly (and pretty!). They can even pop them in the dishwasher or microwave between uses to re-sanitize before putting them back to work.

    BuzzFeed writer Danielle Healy adores these dishcloths: "I genuinely enjoy using Swedish dishcloths way more than I even did paper towels. They're perfect for managing day-to-day messes in the kitchen and they're shockingly absorbent, durable, and long-lasting. The biggest annoyance I had with them is never knowing where to put it when it was drying, but recently I mounted a Command Hook behind my sink and used a hole punch to create a little hanging hole. Now my dishcloths stay out of the way when not in use and dry quicker!"

    Promising review: "I researched so many coffee warmers and am so glad I decided on this one. It definitely keeps my coffee hot, no matter how long it takes me to drink it. I also like that it has three settings. As you drink down your coffee, you can lower the heat because it keeps the coffee very hot. I like it so much I ordered a second one for another part of the house." —hottytoddy

    Promising review: "This hand warmer is amazing! My hands are constantly cold and I've tried all sorts of products to help keep them warm but nothing has worked until now. I charge the hand warmer every night with a standard USB charger and the next day, I have hours of warmth. The three temperature settings are very helpful — I use the highest setting when I'm outdoors for long periods of time and the lower settings when I'm indoors (e.g. sitting at my desk or in a cold movie theater). I've already given hand warmers as gifts to several cold-handed friends and family members and they're loving it as well. I hope Ocoopa comes out with a foot warmer next!" —RK

    The Novel Bookstore

    The Novel Bookstore is a small business that originally started with an idea to make wallets that didn't look like wallets in order to avoid theft or snooping. Now, they've expanded into a haven of book lookalike wallets (or should I say, "bookalikes?") that are great for gifting, self expression, and paying homage to your favorite tales.

    Promising review: "Love my new wallet! It isn't too large and fits very nicely in my bag. The quality is amazing and it feels even better than I imagined, and it has a true book texture to the outside of it. Love it very much!" –Sadie F.

    39. A laptop tote bag whose middle name is "fashionable function." Seriously, this puppy packs a ton of storage (including multiple compartments and a strap to attach to rolling suitcases) in a sleek silhouette, making commuting, traveling, and generally existing sooo much easier.

    Promising review: "This laptop bag is thoughtfully designed! It’s spacious enough for my laptop, notebooks, and all of the personal items that I would normally have in my purse. Multiple compartments and pockets helps keep items organized; also roomy enough for my water bottle. Excellent bag when traveling for work. The trolley sleeve and the removable inside organizer are my two favorite features! Only regret is I didn’t order it in black." –Pamela G.

    Promising review: "Wow. This thing is amazing. Small and so easy to use. My husband kept saying it won’t actually light anything and was blown away when it did. We lit candles and paper to use as tinder with absolutely no effort. No fuel needed. Just a quick recharging. And no waste in throwing away those huge and never easy to use butane sticks. Love love it. Easy buying process so I would recommend everyone buy one." —Diane Bold
