A pack of Crayola Globbles that’ll relieve hours of boredom
Promising review: “I waited over two months to write my review! My 4-year-old daughter plays with these DAILY! YES they do attract dirt and hair. HOWEVER they are so easy to rinse off, it’s not a big deal! We took these to a family gathering and ended up giving two away because they were SO loved! The two we gave away went to a 12-year-old and my 19-year-old brother. They discovered throwing them at the ceiling fan and watching them shoot across the room, which was pretty entertaining! None of them have busted or ripped and they are definitely NOT gentle with them! I will definitely be buying more!” — Kindle Customer

A compact Philips pasta maker
Promising review: “I was really nervous to try this out — I had previously owned the KitchenAid pasta extruder attachment, and wanted something less cumbersome to use. I’d been lusting after the full-size Philips pasta maker for years. Literally. It’s just been hanging on my Wish List on Amazon. When I was ready to buy, I noticed the compact version, which seemed like a better fit for my small-ish starter home. And oh boy, was it ever. Just made my first batch of pasta with it tonight — whole wheat spaghetti. It could not have been easier. I used my handy-dandy AmazonBasics kitchen scale to measure out the flour to 200 grams (perfect amount for my husband and me) and used one egg and then filled up the water cup to 90mL. It literally could not have been an easier process. I put the flour in, plugged in the machine, press start, and added in the egg mixture. That’s it. In 12 minutes, I had fresh, beautiful pasta.” — Alexandra K

Silly Poopy’s Hide & Seek game
Promising review: “Let me tell you that if you want hours of endless fun of hide and go seek without having to hide yourself, this is a must get!When it’s hidden it makes various toot noises and says stuff so the kids know if they are close. And when they find it and press the button to do and sing the silly poopy dance … even you will dance and sing along!!! Doesn’t need batteries and come on, it’s poop? Who doesn’t think poop and toot noises are funny and if they don’t they are lying to themselves. A must-have for fun with your kids without barely doing any work!!” — andrea kelli gorman

An external battery that’ll be like giving them the gift of an always-charged smartphone
Promising review: “I love this portable charger! I didn’t think it would be a good idea, because normally you portable chargers die within the first charge it does.

Promising review: “Fantastic grater! Get one! Super pleased with this purchase. Wish I had purchased sooner. Makes grating cheeses so easy. Simple to use and to disassemble for cleaning. Can assemble with handle to right or left for ease of operation. Has worked well for me with Parmesan, gruyere, asiago, and fontina. Would buy again. Would make a great gift.” — CJBS

A whiskey-infusing kit
Promising review: “Delish! We had a bourbon that we weren’t crazy about, so we decided to infuse it with this kit…wow, what a difference. Completely turned the bourbon from one we kept at the back of our liquor cabinet to one we finished off within days after the infusion was done. We liked that the kit didn’t make it too sweet. Really nice balance of flavors. Will definitely get again!” — Colleen Olfenbuttel

A custom paint-by-numbers kit
Promising review: “This was so much fun! I tried three different photos in the tool they give you and chose this one.

It chops anything from lettuce to chicken, perfect for salads! It’s top rack dishwasher safe so easy to clean. It comes with cleaning brushes and picks as well. Definitely a must have for perfectly chopped or spiraled veggies!” — Tammy

A Philips Norelco One Blade trimmer and shaver
Promising review: “I am always trying to find a gift for my husband that he likes and uses. In all 24 years of marriage and four years of dating prior to marriage, this is by far the best thing I have ever given him. He uses it all the time. Never uses another razor. He has extremely sensitive skin and after a shave with electric or straight blade” — Sam
Promising review: “This is the best razor I’ve ever owned. I give them as gifts now and everyone I’ve given then to had fully converted. From slaying a neck beard to going down to the bare floors on your undercarriage… this razor does both without cutting you. Battery lasts forever on 1 charge. I seriously only charge mine like every three months. Replacement heads are a little pricey and always locked up if you’re buying them from a brick-and-mortar business but still worth it.” — Majestic Jim

A jar of Coop’s hot fudge
Promising review: “I have been buying Coop’s for a couple of years now and I have never encountered a hot fudge I love more. It’s rich, creamy – amazing on ice cream or just a spoonful to end the day! In my experience, both children and adults love it. I also love the new peppermint flavor for Summer.” — Meghan E. Smith
Promising review: “This is manna from heaven, food of the gods. Makes getting up in the morning worth it again! Expensive, and worth it, it’s hard not to just eat with a spoon in between ice cream applications. Only draw back?
The jar is standard, but too small for what you’re going to need once you taste it. It should come in a 50 gallon drum with a pump top. Makes a great gift, with its kooky gimmicky plastic lid covering that looks like hot fudge dripping down.” — saintsomewhere
Coops is woman-owned and all of their sauces are made in small batches.

A set of snazzy-looking and surprisingly affordable wireless Bluetooth earbuds
Promising review: “I’ve been searching for wireless headphones that wouldn’t break the bank because I was tired of always getting caught on doorknobs, cabinet doors, and drawers. Funny enough, these headphones were recommended via TikTok and I’m loving them so much. They look expensive and the sound quality is amazing! The various options of bud sizes make them customizable to fit your ear so they’re nice and snug. The battery case is really sleek and can be easily tucked away in your pocket, bag, or purse. I haven’t been this excited to have new technology in a while!” — Joey Reyes

A crawling crab toy
Promising review: “I bought one of these for my grandson’s 1st birthday. It seemed fitting because they live within walking distance from the Chesapeake Bay. Lots of crab lovers around here. My grandson loved it and so did all the adults LOL. It’s so cool the way it scampers across the floor sideways like a real crab. Out of all the gifts he got this one really got his attention. My son called me the day after the party and said he was still playing with it and chasing it across the floor. So glad I got it! I heard a few of the adults say they wanted to get one for themselves.” — J. Butler

You won’t be disappointed.” — KSD

“Murdle Volume 1,” a compilation of murder mystery–themed logic puzzles
Promising review: “The puzzles are a lot of fun but the characters, story lines, and other details take the Murdle experience to another level. I have no idea how the author came up with all of this creativeness! You can Murdle solo or with friends. I look forward to future volumes but this one will keep me busy for awhile!” — Liz Gately
Promising review: “MURDLE is quite possibly the coolest and most fun I have had with logic puzzles in a while. It activates my inner J.B. Fletcher as my mind compiles the clues and sleuths out the answers. The various levels of intrigue allow the amateur sleuth in us all to develop into a top-notch arm-chair detective. I cannot think of a better way to spend a rainy, sunny, and/or any day than with a little crime-solving.” — Highly Caffeinated Book Reviewer

A compact and TikTok-famous watercolor palette
Promising review: “I’m starting to hate Tiktok because it’s making me buy all these products, but I absolutely love this one!!! I travel for a living and love to paint and this set is wonderful. I love that it comes in a metal tin, so I don’t have to worry about it breaking, like most plastic ones. The colors are vibrant and I love that there are so many within the container. The container itself is the size of two make up eye palettes, so you can definitely fit it in a purse or backpack. It comes with a swatch section too so you can paint the colors and compare later on when you paint. I’m a huge fan now of this brand.” — pixxi88

Promising review: “I gave this as a Christmas gift to my son. The pieces are so amazing! They have upgraded both the playing pieces and the weapons in this game.

Everything about the game was very well made.” — DRH
An electric crepe-maker
Promising review: “I have always loved crepes, but never knew how to make them. This pan is so simple and easy to use that it takes all the guess work out of making crepes, and the dipping tray keeps everything. It does take a few tries to get the hang of dipping and flipping, but once you get started, you’ll be rolling out crepes by the minute. A genius design for the beginning crepe-r.” — SoutherStorm

A pair of farfalle-shaped pot grips
Promising review: “I find these hilarious, and easily the best kitchen gadget I’ve spent my money on! They’re super handy for getting stuff out of the oven, and I feel less likely to drop a dish than when I use traditional hot pads/oven mitts with the padding. Very grippy, thick enough that heat doesn’t transfer through, and again, hilarious.” — Hannah B

A Le Creuset pie bird
Promising review: “As someone who doesn’t bake a lot of pies, especially fruit filled and crust-topped pies, I never thought I would need one of these. If you make one pie a year that has a crust on top then you will NEED this pie bird. You simply place it in the center of the pie before you pour in the filling and then cut a small hole in the crust and slide it over the top of the pie bird. You seal the crust to the bird and bake. It prevents bubbles in your crust and gives you a perfect beautiful crust every time without having to cut slits in your pie crust. After baking you can either serve the pie with the bird still in the pie or remove it and use the center hole where it was as a guide to cut slices from the center of the pie.” — SPW
Promising review: “I have always wanted a pie bird and I am so sorry I waited so long to get one. It is great to vent the steam in a home-made apple pie, preventing the crust lifting so high. I sugar the apples and place in a strainer over a bowl for 30 minutes. Then place the apples in the pie crust around the pie bird, add cinnamon and pour the juice over the apples. No holes in the top crust needed and the apples are perfectly moist and soft without the giant air space under the top crust.” — I Love Lucy

A floating pasta timer
Promising review: “Purchased as a gift for my Mother-in-law, and was a hit! I don’t think she will use it daily but is a very cute novelty gift. The timer does work and the pasta was perfect ‘al dente’ and was so fun to hear it start singing when it went off.” — Rochelle P.

A soil-free AeroGarden Harvest
Promising review: “I purchased this as a Christmas gift for my boyfriend’s sister-in-law who lamented not having a green thumb. I was somewhat apprehensive, having read a few reviews that mentioned pods not spouting. However, in the two months that the sis-in-law has had the AeroGarden, the growth has been tremendous. I’m constantly in awe when she sends me pics of the new growth. Only one pod failed to spout, but she reached out to customer service, and they are sending a replacement for that particular pod. All the others have grown quite large, and last night I received a picture of their dinner using herbs grown with the AeroGarden. Impressive!” — Mary A. Walls

An at-home putting green with three holes
Promising review: “Bought this for my husband who is an avid golfer. We live up north so he’s stir-crazy in the winter. It has been laid out in my living room since Christmas. We don’t use that room so I don’t mind. He practices putting every day. Even uses it as a stress reliever between meetings.” — Kim

A 3-in-1 foldable magnetic wireless charger
Promising review: “Compared it to Mophie — just as good for one-third the price. I bought one of these for my wife to use, but assuming that I travel a lot more than her, I opted to buy the more expensive Mophie device of similar design direct from Apple for myself. The Mophie device turned out to be no better, even though it cost 3X as much. I was able to return the Mophie device and bought another of these for myself. In the end, if it doesn’t last as long as the Mophie could have, no worries since I would have to buy two more just to match what I spent. The blue charging indicator lights don’t seem too bright, but I placed black electrical tape over them anyway. The QC charging brick is a nice touch and was able to charge all three devices without difficulty.” — TubaTim

A genius Tineco 2-in-1 cordless vacuum and mop
Promising review: “I confess I can be a lackadaisical housekeeper, which is problematic, since my new dog sheds enough in a week for me to build an entire new dog. What’s worse, vacuuming doesn’t pick up a lot of his fur. This Tineco is magic, though. Not only does it pick everything up (dust, fur, hair, crumbs, Nature’s Miracle, errant Cheerios), but because the wheels are motorized, vacuuming/mopping is a breeze. I get exhausted using my canister vac, but this thing is a blast to use. Here is what I’ve learned: I always use the ‘extra water’ feature, which seems to work better. I clean the dirty water holder and parts every time I empty it, and I run the self-clean cycle after every second emptying session. This means I can do my primary bath and my 10×12 TV room before self cleaning and recharging for a little bit. Or I can do my kitchen and entryway and hall before self cleaning, or my living room. In other words, you’re not going to do your whole house on one battery charge or without running the self cleaning feature several times. Of course, the reason you have to run the self cleaning so often is because this little beauty is picking up So. Much. Stuff. It’s magic. If it broke tomorrow (and I don’t think it will break for a very long time) I would buy another.” — Tsippi

A miniature greenhouse DIY kit that’ll keep the crafter in your life busy
Promising review: “I have worked on many DIY kits, and this one was one of my favorites. Good scale to use with Figmas and Nendoroids for anyone looking into using for photography or displays. Robotime has created some of the easiest comprehensive in-color instruction manuals for their kits. I personally use a few more tools than that is provided, however you can easily complete this kit with everything in the box. Easily customizable to what you want, I highly recommend this kit to anyone. I would say this is an intermediate level kit but with Robotime’s easy instructions one could easily pick this up as a beginner to the hobby.” — Ashley F

A wireless karaoke microphone
Promising review: “Oh my gosh, I love this! I got mine in the mail yesterday and ended up playing with it for about five hours last night LOL. It connects via Bluetooth so you can connect it to your phone — the music and your singing comes out of the microphone’s speaker. It has a volume control for your voice and for the music and also an echo feature. You can put an SD card into the bottom of it and record yourself, or connect it with an audio out to record on one of those karaoke apps on your phone. Between this and being able to find just about any song on karaoke via YouTube, you could easily have your own karaoke parties at home!” — Ferretocious

A two-pack of handblown watering globes
Promising review: “These are amazing! I bought them for a two-week trip and have left them in permanently because of how happy my plants looked. They do a better job of watering my plants than I do! These are a great size for larger pots or thirsty plants. I read some reviews saying they are hard to fill but I haven’t found that to be the case. Just tip it at an angle like a wine glass and use low water pressure.” — Amazon Customer

A just-the-right-size planner with a stately faux-leather cover
Promising review: “I just received my new planner, and I love it. It’s larger (8.5 by 11 inches), but thinner. The hardcover is flexible but still durable, and beautifully made. The appearance of the planner is very professional. The weekly guide provides plenty of space to write down my daily schedule. The elastic bookmark helps to find my place quickly, and there are two more ribbon bookmarks provided. I had to place the monthly calendar tabs myself. I can find the monthly calendar easily now. I would have liked if it was already in place, but I understand if there are people who don’t use such features. Overall, I am pleased with my purchase.” — Arlene W.
Promising review: “My son-in-law LOVES this planner. He wants no other one, just this one. So every year, I go to my previous orders and select the planner I bought him for Christmas in the previous year, and it has the new year’s planner available. Voilà! Christmas present purchased!” — Cheryl Gillespie

An oversized plush satin eye mask
Promising review: “As a high-maintenance sleeper, I hope I never have to be without this mask — actually, I WAS without this mask for a couple days which is why I immediately purchased another one. Left on a plane. Heartbreaking. This mask is so soft and plush. It completely blocks out light, and depending on how low you position it behind your head, it muffles sound nicely as well. I’ve purchased many silk masks, even some pricey ones, and this one by far is my absolute favorite.” — alexandriabeth

A “reverse” coloring book
Promising review: “This is definitely no coloring book. You can do so many things on each page, and you see different things each time. I did a couple like this one where I drew the faces and animals I saw—it can be similar to seeing things in clouds, or the bathroom floor tiles. Or it can be a loose framework — I did a couple of pages where I made mechanical or botanical stuff. Many of the pages are obviously floral, but you can change them up any way you want. When I’ve drawn all of the pages I might get another copy and do them differently. There are also more books by the same author, so I might want them as well. I’ve never had so much fun doodling. It’s easy to get into the zone with this book.” — kathy g
Promising review: “What a great idea! I love coloring books and this one is so unique and so fun. Very relaxing to sit down and just draw around the lines. The book does have suggestions on how to design some lines to make it a bit more unique. My 8- and 10-year-old love it too!” — Jo

A set of three remote-operated flameless candles
Promising review: “With the price of batteries, these beautiful candles are a must. I’ve always used Luminara, which unfortunately, devour batteries and die after several years. These candles also have a more soothing, ambient affect. The colored exteriors are far prettier than Luminara. Great gifts!” — pandorah

An Oster electric wine opener set
Promising review: “What’s not to like? This electric wine opener has a foil cutter on the back side of the holder, works like a charm, takes the cork off,
push the button again, and it brings the cork down so you can retrieve the cork. How cool is that! My husband and I like this so much, we’ve gifted this to our daughter, grandchildren, and friends. Every wine enthusiast will love this! I guarantee you’ll love it as much as we do!!” — Amazon Customer

She also loves the element of surprise! This is a wonderful gift that will engage even kids who are not into the sciences. Every year she takes pieces in to share with her class. She also loves to give pieces away as little gifts or mementos. Nat Geo never disappoints!” — Kristin D.

A stylish acrylic block and set of sleek black knives
Promising review: “These knives are great! They stay super sharp, they’re comfortable to hold, and I love how much counter space it leaves as opposed to a big bulky knife block. Fits perfectly in my minimalist kitchen!!! And it looks great on my counter being one of the few things that I keep on my countertop! It is the perfect amount of knives without being too many knives (I don’t like things in excess)! I have never had a cheese knife before, and this baby is my favorite one in the whole set! LOL! It slices through hard cheeses like butter! Have not tried on soft cheese, but I’m sure it’ll be great because it is super sharp! I can’t say enough about how much I love these knives!!” — Sadie Allen

A set of jumbo fizzy aromatherapy bath bombs
Promising review: “I have been using bath bombs for years. I’ve used cheap brands, drugstore brands, luxury brands (Lush, YL) and more. This box gives all bath bombs I’ve tried a run for the money! The packaging was super cute and totally giftable. I was really impressed at the quality of the bath bomb itself too (I used Heal tonight) and I love that this uses natural essential oils. During this COVID-19 outbreak, I have had a lot of stress and anxiety and have enjoyed a bath nearly every night for the past week. This bomb gave me the most serene experience and they are HUGE! At least double the size of ones I’ve used before. Comparable to the size of Lush bombs. I will definitely purchase this box again when I run out and honestly it’s a great price at a little more than $2 a piece. You really can’t beat it!” — Heather H

Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza, a speedy (and hilarious) card game
Here’s how to play: Pass out all the cards to the players and keep all the stacks face down. Everyone takes a turn putting a card down in the middle, while saying “taco,” “cat,” “goat,” “cheese,” and “pizza,” in that order. If the picture on your card matches the word that’s said, everyone races against each other to slap their hand on the central pile of cards. Whoever is last must take the pile of cards and add them to their stack, and the person who runs out of cards first wins!
Promising review: “Best gift I’ve given in years! I bought a set to play with my niece and nephew on vacation. They are 6 and 8, and they loved it. So did grandma. Since then I have given two sets away to friends with kids, and they have loved it. It is fun, different from your average card game, and challenging in surprising ways.” — Brian H.

The entire extended 4K “Lord of the Rings” film trilogy
Promising review: “If you’re here you probably really want to know about the 4K experience. I did. Well don’t worry. This is now the benchmark I’m comparing all other 4K movies to. The quality of these movies blows my mind. We have about 10 4K movies and none look as good at this. Fellowship of the Ring was filmed 20 years ago, yet looks lightyears better in 4K than Wonder Woman does. I don’t know how they pulled this off. We have a Samsung QLED TV with 7.1 surround. This has been THE best movie experience I’ve ever had with this setup. Truly stunning. .You can get a glimpse of just how good this looks from my pic (taken with a cell phone of a tv). The level of detail is off the charts. If you’re a LOTR fan and have a 4K TK GET THIS!” — Double D

A set of internet-famous Mellanni sheets
Promising review: “I read from other reviews these sheets were soft so I wasn’t too surprised when I received them and man are they soft and so comfortable. We have Egyptian cotton sheets that were expensive and I promise we have changed them back out for the comfort of these sheets. The cotton sheets were cold and these were just right. The other thing is my husband has thin skin that any nick he will bleed. Well he has bled on these white sheets and when we washed them (in cold water as instructed) the blood always comes out and never stains. I can’t say enough great things about them except to say all three of my adult kids are receiving a set as part of their Christmas!” — Sheree Chrestman

A vintage-looking dimmable candle warmer
Here’s BuzzFeed Shopping editor Amanda Davis on this beaut: “This lamp looks even better in person, it’s warms all of my candles evenly, and after moving it to my desk, I figured out it can be used as the cutest mug warmer, too! It comes with two compatible 50-watt warming bulbs that melt candles from top to bottom. The dimming feature is also really convenient for both the brightness of the light and for how fast or slow you want your candle to melt! This would definitely be a 12/10 gift.”

A shrimp neck pillow
Promising review: “This pillow changed my life. Birthday for someone you’re in love with? Wanna show your teacher you appreciate them? Does your hairdresser give you solid looks for solid prices and you need a Christmas gift for them? Does your neck need support late at night when you are playing scary video games in the dark at 2 a.m. when you should be studying for finals? This shrimp neck pillow was the answer to all those questions. It’s so comfortable. It’s so fashionable. It’s so iconic. No one will ever disrespect you with this on your neck. If you have doubts, take my word for it. This pillow is where it’s at.” — McHoot
Promising review: “So, I got the for my grandfather as a joke at Christmas. I lived with my grandparents in high school, and he would ask me on a daily basis if I liked shrimp. It’s become this ongoing thing with us for the last decade. My grandmother and I talk on the phone everyday, and everyday I hear him telling her to ‘ask Gabi if she likes shrimp,’ So when I saw this, i thought it was perfect and had to buy it. I wasn’t expecting him to actually use it. Well, apparently he wears it 24/7. He finds it’s super comfortable and he uses it while watching TV, while driving, while sleeping, and he loves all the compliments he gets on it.Definitely the best gift I have ever given to anyone.” — Gabrielle White

A Dyson Ball toy vacuum
Promising review: “I bought one for 2-year-old child’s bday gift. Around this age loves pulling and pushing, this is perfectly developmentally appropriate material. Plus it does look like a real Dyson and sucks some real dust. It was absolutely the best gift from the party, the child dragged it all over the backyard. Once he put it down, he’s 2-year-old cousin played for next hour until he claimed it back. His parents were very happy too that he learns how to help round at home.” — Kim
Promising review: “Our son is absolutely obsessed with our Dyson (the real one), which is why we purchased this toy Dyson vacuum for his birthday. He’s 2 years old, and he is really enjoying having his on ‘working’ vacuum cleaner!!! He seriously plays with it for hours during the day. Turning it on and off and pushing it through the house just like we use our real vacuum. I would buy this again! It was his favorite gift!” — Amazon Customer
