It's high time all your BFFs own this viral sad duck night-light and beloved Taylor Swift-themed coloring book.
1. A Yonanas fruit soft-serve maker that magics any frozen fruit into an ice cream or sorbet texture so they can have a yummy frozen treat made to their *precise* favorite fruit combos. A lot of folks with dietary restrictions swear by this to get their ice cream kicks!

Promising review:"Such an amazing product. My first recipe was bananas and cashew peanut butter. Super duper fab! I can't wait for a party just to make the dessert. Already bought another as a gift. Great buy." — desiree
Get it from Amazon for $37.99.
2. A PopLite personal popcorn maker with a built-in serving bowl that will give them eight cups of movie theater-quality popcorn in two mere mortal minutes. Reviewers especially love that the popcorn doesn't burn, and the machine doesn't leave unpopped kernels like the usual microwave brands.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Check out a TikTok of the popcorn maker in action.
Promising review: " OMG. This is perfect. It absolutely works, it makes plenty for one person in two minutes, start to finish. Easy to clean up and stores in one small piece. I bought one as a gift to myself to snack healthier and then bought more for the perfect gift. You will not be disappointed. BUT! Do buy quality popcorn, don't overfill and you will at the most, have ten kernels left." — Giuliana Nakashima
Get it from Amazon for $34.99.
Psst — if you're looking for something delicious to pair this gift with, try this internet-famous popcorn salt that makes it taste like movie theater popcorn!
3. A copy of The Book of Myself: A Do-It-Yourself Autobiography in 201 Questions perfect for any stage of life, if they're looking for something structured and soothing to do on a night off that will also help them preserve their favorite memories.
This book is a kind of DIY memoir — it goes through three phases of "Early," "Middle," and "Later" years, and has 201 different prompts based on your memories, experiences, and views on the world.
Promising review: "My niece gave this book to me for Christmas, and I filled it out gradually in a few months to give back to her. The process of filling it out was enlightening and took me through sad times and glad times. A few questions left me with a blank and others made me wish I had 50 pages instead of one, but, over all, it was a good experience for me. My niece seemed thrilled to get it and read it which was even better. I just bought a copy to give as a gift to someone who had told me of a wish to tell his children more about his life and experiences, perhaps in writing." — L. Skellings
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
4. A Lego flower bouquet they will have WAY too much fun setting up with their own unique, customizable flair the instant they open the box. Why gift them regular flowers when you can gift them the kind that last forever??
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Check out this viral Lego flower bouquet in this TikTok.
Promising review: "This is a great gift for anyone who loves flowers. They are as sturdy as they get since they're Legos, and although they do take a while to build, it's a very fulfilling process. Love it and would set aside as something to gift to several people at any point. They look beautiful!!" — Gaby
Get it from Amazon for $47.99.
5. "You Need To Calm Down: A Coloring Book," which is the new ideal way for Swifities to de-stress. This features 45 pages of illustrations and quotes designed to loosely follow the Eras tour in order, so they can color their way back to the magic whenever they please.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Psst — you can pick up a cult-fave colored pencil set on Amazon for $11.99!
Promising review: "This is such a fun gift for myself, my friends, and my nieces. The quality is amazing. The pictures complement the lyrics. It's also amazing to support an Asheville, NC artist impacted by Helene. I have both books. Highly recommend." — C. Hall
Psst — there's a SECOND version that's more Reputation-style for your fiercer Swifties out there!
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
6. An oh-so-charming hummingbird feeder so you can turn their lives into a Disney movie every time they look out the kitchen window and see that they've got a whole bunch of sweet new fluttery friends in the backyard.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Sweet Feeders is a small business that specializes in bird feeders for home use.
Promising review: "I love seeing the hummers up close and this feeder does the job. I have two and have given them as gifts. They arrive well packed and in great shape." — CHERYLS
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in two styles).
7. A pair of glowing lightsaber chopsticks to bring balance to The Force *and* to their sushi — whether they're repping the dark side or the light.
As you can see from the above GIF, I bought these for myself, and I love them to pieces. TBH, I use them as decor every bit as much as I use them to eat. Sometimes I just keep them in my work area to light them up during the day to feel fancy. They toggle back and forth between a bunch of different colors, like red, blue, yellow, purple, and multicolor, so you can either make them match *or* have a red and blue one together and bring ~balance~ to the Force.
Promising review:"The chopsticks are very durable, and the glow is bright. They're a bit bigger than I expected — but very pleased nonetheless with the product because it serves the purpose and is entertaining for kids, right up to adult Star Wars nerds. It also made the perfect gift for my fellow Star Wars nerds. I've been too busy playing with them rather than using them to eat food — but hopefully, that will eventually happen before the batteries need changing." — Anthony
Get a set of two from Amazon for $12.97.
8. A set of TikTok-famous Globbles, which are about to be their new favorite stress-relieving fidget toy. These colorful balls are squishy, stretchy, and stick to pretty much any flat surface you throw them at *without* leaving any messy residue. TikTokers are having a blast tossing these at walls and ceilings to see the satisfying way they glom onto them.
Promising review:"I have bought these over and over again for gifts. My own children have played with these balls repeatedly. We even left one on the ceiling to see how long it would stay for. It lasted four months before we decided to take it down. Since they are so sticky, they do dirty pretty quickly. All you have to do is a quick rinse in the sink and an air dry, then you are good to go. Great for adults and children! Will be buying again." — Valerie Young
Get a set of six from Amazon for $10.69.
9. A Mason jar-inspired cold brew coffee maker to save them (*crunches numbers*) one bajillion dollars at coffee shops, and a whole lot of time to boot. All they have to do is put their favorite coffee grounds in this pitcher and let them steep overnight. Now, they can finally be the cool, aloof barista with amazing cold brew on tap they want to see in the world.
Promising review: "This is the best way to have coffee without the acid and still have the caffeine. Easy to use and so much cheaper than buying cold brew coffee. I have bought several over the years for friends. I've owned mine now for four years and still love it." — Terry
"Absolutely love this cold brew coffee maker. TikTok made me buy it. I use it all the time. I use 1 cup of ground coffee and 7 cups of filtered water. Once I pull out the coffee filter, I top it off with more water. I add coffee to my chocolate protein shakes every day!" — Connie Forbes
Get it from Amazon for $19.49 (available in two sizes).
10. Hues And Cues, a DELIGHTFUL party game that's easy and fun to play no matter how well the guests know each other. It comes with a board of 480 color swatches — the aim of the game is to make your friends guess which color swatch you're looking at with either one-word or two-word clues. Whoever gets the closest to the color in each round gets the most points!
I played this at a friend's apartment with a mix of people I did and didn't know, and we all had a BLAST. It was a fun opportunity for us to reference hyper specific things when trying to lock down a specific shade (if memory serves, "zombie Barney" and "aggressive banana" were ones that got thrown around) and to get to know each other's tastes and ways of looking at the world. The rules and scoring system are super easy to learn, too, so there wasn't a big hurdle getting everyone on board. I highly recommend it for some good, wholesome, often laugh-out-loud party fun!
Promising review: "This game is very fun! I love the vibrant board and the variety of colors. Our group did well and really enjoyed it. I'm excited for the next opportunity to play it! We liked it enough that I bought one to give to my niece for her upcoming birthday as well! I highly recommend checking out this unique game!" — JenApp
Get it from Amazon for $19.96.
11. A set of vinyl coasters to give their coffee table a delightfully retro nostalgic touch *and* protect it from the perils of condensation.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Check out a TikTok of the coasters in action.
Promising review: "These are awesome! Each little coaster looks like a record, and the bottom has a bit of rubber to keep it from shifting. The funny thing is they all have cute sayings on them for the song name. Like 'No Marks on the Table' by The Nostalgics. I've received a bunch of compliments and chuckles at the silly 'song names.' I also sent these as a gift to a music lover, and it was very well-received!" — ra2151
Get a set of six from Amazon for $5.99.
12. A moody nightlight you can get based on their vibe, be it "depressed duck," "cheerful pear," or "absurdly adorable puppy." They are all delightfully squishy and add the perfect amount of dim light to use as a portable night-light or light up a desk without being too harsh!
Amazon
Promising review: "Love these! There are different versions and I bought them all! I got one as a gift and my kids love them so I bought more! It is just enough light and so fun to squish on and off. Looks so cute in the bedroom and no worries about having to plug it in or worries about kids near an outlet. Love these so much!" — Kristine Yulich
Get it from Amazon: the duck for $16.99, the pear for $19.99, and the puppy for $19.99
13. A deeply adorable retro-style portable Bluetooth keyboard they can connect to their tablet, phone, or computer to easily type on the go. Reviewers especially love the satisfying ~clickety clack~ feel of the keys!
Promising review: "I got this keyboard because of its aesthetic. The look did not disappoint. Love it! Super easy to connect to my iPhone and iPad. It makes my typing and note creating on my phone quicker and cuter. I will purchase another for an upcoming friend's birthday. I know she'll love it as well!" — NT
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (clip the $3 off coupon on the product page for this price).
14. Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice: A Book-To-Table Classic, a hybrid book and cookbook that incorporates Martha Stewart's recipes based on the text within the actual story. The Austenite in your life is gonna fall in love (and hopefully cook for you).
My mom got me one of these for my birthday, and I'm a lazy monster so I haven't cooked out of it, but my STARS is it gorgeous. I leave it on my coffee table, but unlike other coffee table books, I actually read out of this one. The pictures are so beautiful and soothing. 11/10 would choose to live inside of it if I could.
Promising review:"I've just received it, and I love it; it's all girly with recipes, and I love the hardcover (a bit big for my liking, but I still love it). I bought two, one for me and one as a gift to my best friend. I read Pride and Prejudic e many times (in French) and watched almost all the adapted movies and series but still wanted to read the original version in English, and I was very delighted to receive this colorful book." — SM
Get it from Amazon for $19.63.
15. An infuser water bottle perfect for the humans in your life who cannot for the LIFE of them keep up with their hydration goals — this leakproof, super durable water bottle has a built-in fruit infuser with a filter so they can get all the flavor of their favorite fresh fruits and none of the seeds and pulp.
Promising review: "This water bottle is the best I've ever tried. This bottle makes it super easy to get your water intake. The spouted nozzle is unbelievable easy to get the water inside your mouth without having to lean way back like a regular glass/bottle. It's portable and lightweight. The lock feature is durable. Never had any problems with leakage at all. I ordered my husband one originally, and he loved it so much I got my mine. I also ordered one for a friend who has a medical condition and needed to up his water intake. He absolutely loves it!" — Bobbi Ann Crawford
Get it from Amazon for $13.99.
16. A"Gracula" garlic crusher, because you know what? If a 108-year-old vampire lurking moodily in the trees in the Pacific Northwest isn't going to fall in love with them and grant them immortality, one might as well make their life in the kitchen a little easier.
Promising review: I love this little guy. Easy to use and can't get much cuter. Will buy more for gifts, everyone loves him." — Hope S.
Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (clip the 30% off coupon on the product page for this price).
17. A five-year One Line A Day journal perfect for anyone who keeps starting journals and then abandoning them — one line a day is *super* low commitment, so it'll likely stick. (And imagine the satisfaction they'll get looking back every year!)
www.amazon.com
The book comes with 365 pages, each of which has lines for five days, so they'll write on the same page each year when the date comes around again. It's a really cool way to reflect on their ~journey~ — kind of like those "this time last year!" things your phone or Facebook does, except they're the ones in control of what gets written and saved.
Promising review:"This is a FANTASTIC journal centered on a FANTASTIC concept! I'm a hardcore journaler, keeping a detailed daily diary for many years now. And this journal fits right in. If I don't get to my primary journal for a day or two, this book reminds me of what I did on what day, etc. It's just a great little log. It's also great fun! I just finished my first volume of this book, and it was SO FUN to see what happened on each day from the previous years. At this point, I have three more blank ones in storage; I hope they make these for many more years to come so I can keep going with them, and keep gifting them." — Sarah L Carnes
Get it from Amazon for $15.26.
18. And a " Grievance Journal," or rather a "burn book for the discerning misanthrope" — a darkly funny, satisfying, and cathartic journal with 52 prompts so they can purge themselves of the ~~darkness~~ of their daily irritations and inconveniences without alarming all their friends and neighbors. (Well, any more than they already do 😈.)
Amazon
Promising review: "Bought this intending to gift it to a friend but ended up getting really into the prompts and decided to keep it for myself. WOW, what an awesome way to vent and articulate the negativity you're feeling by actually forcing yourself to form coherent thoughts around your emotions. Cheaper and more effective than therapy, buying several more for friends and fam." — Alex
Get it from Amazon for $27.99.
19. Laneige Lip Glowy Balm, which unsurprisingly went just as TikTok viral as everyone's beloved Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask — the glowy balm has the same delightful flavors (including the iconic GUMMY BEAR!!) and hydrates lips with the *chef's kiss* lightweight, moisturizing blend that doesn't get all sticky and goopy like competitors.
Amazon
Promising review:"Laneige lip balm lives up to the TikTok hype. The Gummy Bear scent is awesome. Don't need to constantly reapply because the formula is moisturizing. Definitely will order other scents." — Charlotte T.
"Literally the love of my lips' life. Bought for myself and loved it so much I've been ordering more to gift to friends." — fablav
Get it from Amazon for $19 (available in four flavors, including Peach, Berry, Grapefruit, and Gummy Bear).
20. A cult-favorite luxury-scented candle with a scent reminiscent of Le Labo's Santal 33, and a throw so satisfying that reviewers can't stop gushing about it. They're about to make this this jasmine, oud, and sandalwood blend a "signature scent" for their place.
www.amazon.com
Lulu Candles is a US-based small business that specializes in scented candles and perfumes.
Promising review: "A MUST-BUY!!! This was recommended to me and I honestly didn't think it (or anything) would end up as a staple for gift giving! It's a go-to item every time I make a gift purchase because it's so loved. Treat yourself and someone else today — buy the candle!" — Frances E. Taylor
Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (available in seven sizes, in gift box options, in packs of two, and in a variety of scents).
21. A shaved sheep plushie that is so! darn! FLUFFY!!!! that they will not be able to resist the adorable siren call of zipping its fuzzy little "coat" on and off when their brain needs a cozy vacation.
Promising review: "I love him. He is so cute and so well-made. He is the perfect size and shape. I named him Banana Peel Son since his wool comes off like a banana peel. Adorable. Would recommend to everyone." — Aerebys Stare
"CUTIE PATOOTIES! I ordered one, and once I got it, I had to order three more for my friends. So adorable!" — Mary Olmstead
Get it from Amazon for $10.99.
22. A snap-on pasta strainer to free their pasta from its hot juices straight from the pot, and spare them storage space to boot. (Is it just me, or are colanders always in the business of being exactly in the way of whatever it is you need?) Psst — these are also a game changer for washing fruit, too!
Amazon
Promising review:"This is the best kitchen gadget I've purchased in a long time! I've tried it on several sized pots and pans and it's worked great each time. I've used it with pasta, rice, and even to drain grease out of meat — it works great each time! We use it so much that we recently bought more as gifts for family and friends because it's become our go-to item. I use it nearly every day and it's holding up great." — gagirl
Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in five colors).
23. Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza, a DEEPLY beloved, fast-paced card game suitable for kids and adults that will have everyone in fits of high-stakes giggles in no time. Bonus: each game only lasts 10–15 minutes, so they can go one or a few rounds depending on how much time they've got.
Amazon
Dolphin Hat Games is a small business that specializes in family-friendly card games.
Okay, so the rules: you divvy up all the cards equally, and then all the players take turns putting down cards that have different illustrations on them, saying "taco," "cat," "goat," "cheese," and "pizza" in order. If the card put on the table matches the word that's being said in that moment, whoever slaps a hand down on the card first gets all the cards under it. You keep playing until someone comes in possession of all the cards (or until you all start craving tacos and pizza so much you drive yourselves to the nearest combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell).
Promising review: "This is such a fun game to play! Laughing will be a definite! Fun for all ages, kids and adults. It's a fast paced game. The cards have an easy to read print. We really enjoy playing this game. We have ordered this several times and given as gifts." — jeff sanders
Get it from Amazon for $9.84.
24. A stainless-steel "see-through" knife set with a transparent block that lets them admire their blades even when they're stashed away, so they become part of the "minimalist, but never, ever boring" aesthetic of their kitchen space. Bonus: there's a knife sharpener built into the block!
Promising review: "We absolutely love everything about this knife set. They look so sleek and as long as you dry them with the cloth that's included, they stay perfectly shiny. T hey work extremely well! Cutting absolutely anything is a breeze. It makes cooking and prep so much more enjoyable. I highly highly recommend purchasing this knife set. We bought it as a gift for a family member and she loves them too." — Rachel P.
Get it from Amazon for $45.99.
25. A stable, fully adjustable tablet floor stand reviewers LOVE for holding Kindles, iPads, and even phones upright, making it super easy to read, stream content, or even FaceTime with friends and family hands-free. This little gizmo is about to become their Emotional Support Streaming Buddy.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "So great I immediately bought another as a gift. This thing is SOLID. The base is so heavy I'm pretty sure it's not possible to accidentally knock it over. Bought the first one for myself, but quickly decided to get one for my dad as well. He's likes to watch lots of Netflix/Prime, and has dropped his iPad more than a few times because he'll leave it precariously balanced on the arm of his recliner. Those days appear to be over because he LOVES this stand." — Jlynn
Get it from Amazon for $69.99+ (available in two styles).
26. A gorgeous marble wine chiller pulling triple duty — when they're not using it to keep their rosé crisp and icy, they can use it to store utensils or even as a beautiful, unconventional flower vase that will make all their guests go, "Oooh."
Promising review: "I bought three of these chillers for a mimosa bar and I am blown away at how amazing they are. I placed them in the freezer before setting the bar and they kept the champagne perfectly chilled. I also bought another as a gift for my co-hostess in the black zebra color. Highly recommend!!" — macmilly
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in white and black).
27. A wireless, Bluetooth-enabled karaoke mic they can sync with preeeeetty much anything, including speakers, players, or singing apps on their phone. Now they can live out their Ariana Grande fan fiction in the comfort of their own home.
Promising review:"I only wish that I would have bought this sooner. I've karaokied alone and with others every day since it came. One day, it was all that I did all day. I ate meals, but not a chore or responsibility.... just hardcore karaoke. I found it best to pull up YouTube scrolling lyrics on the TV and then use the microphone to project my voice, but you can have both come through true microphones easily. I can't wait to use it in the car on a girl's trip. I just bought a second one for duets and have plans to send a couple as gifts. Great purchase!!" — Susie Q
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in 15 colors).
28. A waterproof retro-style Bluetooth speaker designed like a mini radio so you can blast the party playlist as adorably as possible. Reviewers love how portable this little gizmo is, and how well the sound carries despite its size!
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "This speaker is too cute! So far it seems to have a good battery life. The speaker is loud and clear. I love the color and I am buying more to give as gifts. The price is a nice bonus!" — jctaylor4321
Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in six styles).
30. A darling "Candle By The Hour" beehive candle with an absolutely genius concept — once they light it, it only burns until the flame reaches the tip of the little extinguisher, so they don't have to worry about forgetting an open flame.
www.amazon.com
This is made of beeswax and designed to burn for a total of 70 hours!
Promising review:"Most beautiful and unique candle! Love the natural sweet scent. I loved it and gave one as a gift also! It's so beautiful." — Catherine L.
Get it from Amazon for $25.09.
31. A set of the brand spanking new lightweight wireless "floating" open-air earbuds designed to settle just over the ears instead of inside — basically all the convenience and privacy of AirPods, without the discomfort of physically putting them in your ears and worry that they'll fall out. It picks up calls just as well as any other pair, and is designed so the sound isn't audible to anyone else — all the promises the new Bose open-air version has, but without the $299 price tag. 😬
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Reviewers who run or sweat a lot during workouts especially swear by these, because the flexible ear loops lock them in place!
Check out a TikTok of the open-air earbuds in action.
Promising review:"Amazing sound quality! I have owned many headphones, and none have been as good as these. There's always the problem with the in-ear ones that they tend to fall off, and the over-ear-ones are just too bulky or hurt to wear for long periods of time. And most importantly being able to wear them not only for audio but for calls too and have a good microphone. These headphones cover all of the above and more. They are lightweight, they don't bother my ears in any way, they don't fall off, they have a good mic, and no sound leaking at all!!!! Best purchase I've made! Now I'm tempted to try other headphones from Tozo." — Cliente de Kindle
"This is my first set of open-air earbuds, and I'm really happy with the sound quality and the fit of these. I've had them for about a month, and I've already bought another pair as a gift. Recommend wiping them off after sweating so that they charge properly." — Dean
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (clip the $20 off coupon on the product page for this price; available in four colors).
32. A marble board wire cheese cutter to serve as half decor, half kitchen tool, and 100% the biggest hit at any wine-and-cheese night.
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Check out a TikTok of the cheese slicer in action.
Promising review:"Great and looks nice on the kitchen counter. The slicer cuts cheese well and any thickness you want. It cleans easily and comes with replacement slicing wire, which I haven't had to use; the first one is still going strong. My daughters liked it so much that I just bought two more for Christmas gifts." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $17.87 (available in two colors).
33. A mushroom growing kit that grows right there in the packaging, so they can add some sweet, sweet umami flavors to all their favorite dishes by sautéing, roasting, or air frying them up.
www.amazon.com
Back To The Roots is a California-based small business founded by two college friends that specializes in indoor gardening kits with a mission to reconnect families to food.

Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
34. A "Cup Cozy Pillow" to keep everything steady on their bed or couch when they're one silly little beverage away from accidentally turning themselves into a LaCroix swamp. This will not only keep all their accessories upright and on hand, but it also has expandable cup holes to fit mugs, water bottles, and snacks, with an insulating foam that keeps drinks hot or cold for longer periods.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review:"I bought one of these for myself and love it!! I'll buy more as gifts. Highly recommend." — Andrea Harden
"This thing is great! I'm home on maternity leave with my new baby and spend most of my time on the couch under a sleeping baby. This product makes it easy for me to keep my drinks, remote, etc close by even with dogs running around. It's a little more expensive than I would have liked but it works and I love it so money well spent!" — Amber
Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in three styles and nine patterns).
35. A tiny milk frother that makes rich, creamy froths in seconds, because why stop at regular tea and coffee when you can give the gift of velvety-soft milk tea and lattes?
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"When you look up milk frothers on Amazon about 100 pull up. They look similar, so how do you know which one to go with?? I watched review after review, and after all of my homework, I decided to go with this one. I'm so glad I did! This thing does the job, and well! VERY easy to clean (that's what I care about). The people who run the company added a kind HAND-WRITTEN note acknowledging the hard times that they know people are going through these days with this pandemic and expressed gratitude for the purchase. I mean WOW. Taking the time to reach out to your purchasers?! Not all small businesses are the same and I'm glad that I went with this one. I will be ordering additional products as Christmas gifts!" — KBSB
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in 39 styles).
36. A projection alarm clock so they don't even have to turn their head or lift themselves to see the time — they can just glimpse at the wall and be like, "Ah, yes. That strange dream about turning into a pool noodle happened at exactly 3 o'clock again" before falling back asleep. It also functions as a USB port to charge devices!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Check out a TikTok of the projection alarm clock in action.
Promising review: "The projection on this clock is sublime. If I am sleeping on my side and turned away from the clock, I merely have to cock my head to see what time it is rather than waking up to turn over and look at the clock. I am buying a second clock for my second bedroom. The design is nonintrusive and takes up very little space on my nightstand." — Sheryl S.
"Easy to connect. Works great, and the time shows up perfectly on my ceiling in the dark. Saves me the trouble when something is in between me and the clock. Buying this for Christmas gifts this year." — Fontana CA
Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in four styles).
37. A whimsical rainbow wind chime reviewers love not just because of how beautiful, but how light and soothing the tinkering sounds are. Their brain deserves this little happiness break!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:" This is definitely the most beautiful wind chime I've ever seen, and I love the sound, too. The packaging was nice, all glass pieces were well protected. I will definitely consider buying again as gifts." — Anita J.
Get it from Amazon for $24.95 (available in 10 color combinations).
38. A sushi-making kit perfect for beginners or intermediate sushi makers, so they can finally mix and match the exact ingredients their adventurous heart desires.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
I'm definitely going to sushi jail for this, but I've started putting peanut butter in my avocado rolls. Don't knock it until you try it. Anyway, each kit comes with two sushi rolling mats, five pairs of chopsticks, a paddle, a spreader, and a PDF of instructions, including recipes for six popular rolls.
Promising review:"Received this the other day and the wife and I had our own sushi night at home...I did not realize there were two mats in the package which was a nice little surprise... everything is made of good quality materials, easy to use and a good fun activity for date night at home. I will be getting a few more as gifts for a few friends...good product, received it quickly and for the price you cannot go wrong." — Timothy J Stegner
Get it from Amazon for $8.99.
39. A quick-heating Fellow electric kettle so chic it'll change the whole landscape of their kitchen counter. It's as handy as it is beautiful, too — its chic gooseneck is designed for an optimum flow rate for pourovers, its temperature settings will let them get *highly* specific about how warm they want the water to be, and they can toggle the base to keep the water at the precise temp they want for up to an hour.

Promising review: "After using this great purchase for over a week, I couldn't wait to write the most positive review I can possibly write for it. I absolutely love it! I recently returned from a long [trip] where we all had to have the same (nasty) coffee every morning. I learned there of the method of pour over coffee where I learned to make my own strength. When I returned home, I tried various coffee makers but none could give me the benefits of great coffee with each cup like pour over method. So I researched options until I found this one. IT'S PERFECT. I'm planning to buy two more as gifts for friends who share my love for great coffee." — JMP

Taylor Swift Announces Exciting Album Update on Friday

In a heartfelt letter posted to her website—prompted by a recent Instagram post encouraging fans to read it—Swift shared some significant personal news. At the core of the letter was the exciting news that she has regained full ownership of all her masters and music, a long-awaited milestone she has been working toward for years.

'I've already completely re-recorded my entire debut album, and I really love how it sounds now," Swift said. "Those 2 albums can still have their moments to re-emerge when the time is right, if that would be something you guys would be excited about. But if it happens, it won't be from a place of sadness and longing for what I wish I could have. It will just be a celebration now.' While there's no official release date yet, fans were instantly ecstatic to learn that the 35-year-old has added her signature touch to the debut album that first put her on the map back in 2006. "not her giving debut the soft launch of the century," a fan said. Someone else added, "It will be great to hear her new take on her debut album." Another fan posted, "Taylor is giving us one last storm before peace. And we're so ready!"

Big Taylor Swift Announcement Made Following Wedding Appearance with Travis Kelce

Big Taylor Swift Announcement Made Following Wedding Appearance with Travis Kelce originally appeared on Athlon Sports. After a relatively low-key start to 2025—during which Taylor Swift intentionally stepped back from the spotlight—her presence has dramatically surged over the past two weeks. The momentum kicked off with her long-awaited announcement on Instagram and her official website that she has regained ownership of all her masters, marking a monumental milestone for the 35-year-old global superstar. "All of the music I've ever made… now belongs to me," Swift wrote. "All of my music videos. All the concert films. The album art and photography. The unreleased songs. The memories. The magic. The madness. Every single era. My entire life's work." Since that announcement, Swift has been seen publicly several times, with the most recent appearance on Friday, when photos surfaced of her attending a wedding alongside her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce. Check it out: Following several photos of the power couple at a recent wedding, some major news about Swift's music emerged.

Thank you Apple. Congratulations Taylor," a fan said. Someone else added, "this is why APPLE MUSIC always ended SLOWTIFY." Another fan posted, "I was waiting for this!" One more fan commented, "FINALLYYYY."

Remarkably, she achieved this without releasing any new music in 2025.
