Small and Sweet Gifts Perfect for Colleagues, Stockings, and Gift Exchanges

Because small doesn’t mean insignificant.

We all know that some of the best things in life come in small packages, which rings especially true during the holiday season. Whether you’re shopping for stocking stuffers, prepping for group gift exchanges with friends or colleagues, or need eight small-but-mighty gifts to get you through Hanukkah without going broke, you’re probably in the market for a few compact picks that pack a punch.
There can be a lot of pressure to go all out during this time of year, but we’re here to tell you that you don’t need to slap a bow onto a brand-new car to show you care. That’s why we rounded up affordable and small gift ideas that are creative, versatile, and appropriate for anyone in your life. Forget socks for everyone around the dinner table or another bag of gelt for the little ones — you can find small specialties without being bland or overspending. (We’ll take the gelt, though, if you’re offering.)
On this list, we’ve got the beauty goods that will make them feel glam, seemingly “basic” winter accessories they’ll own for life, and a pair of slippers for condiment enthusiasts. Most importantly, the vast majority of these items are under $100, with a few splurges that’ll knock the socks you bought them last year right off their warm tootsies.
Pro tip: Even if you’re not sure when you’ll need them, it’s smart to stock up on some affordable gifts to keep in a closet for when you do need a last-minute goodie for someone — these all take up very little storage space.

The Best Small Gifts for the 2023 Holidays
She’s Birdie Personal Safety Alarm
Nordstrom
We can’t think of a clearer way to show you care than by gifting them a cute keychain that could save their life. At first glance this looks like a sweet accessory, but it boasts an extremely loud alarm designed to deter unwanted attention. Users simply need to pull off the top to activate the 130db siren and flashing light.
Fellow Carter Carry Tumbler
Fellow
We’ve all poured coffee on ourselves mid-commute, but just because it’s common doesn’t mean we should be complacent about this inconvenient occurrence. This mug helps eliminate that mishap, thanks to a tapered thin lip that allows you to sip without fear. And while most stainless steel travel cups give off that metallic, “old penny” aftertaste, Fellow was smart enough to coat this tumbler with a ceramic interior.
Chanel Rouge Coco Ultra Hydrating Lip Colour
Chanel
We completely relate to the pain of not being able to gift your person the Chanel bag they’ve coveted for years, but a beautiful designer lipstick is a good runner-up. From the stunning shade of red that’ll have them feeling like Taylor Swift to the chic packaging that’ll make them feel like a million bucks, this Chanel lip color will make a bold impact.
Quip x Shantell Martin Toothbrush
Quip
Sorry to dentists everywhere, but brushing your teeth is boring. Give them something to smile about with a toothbrush thats literally a work of art. Quip collaborated with artist Shantell Martin for a punchy toothbrush worth displaying in their bathroom. And if you think gifting dental care is a little off, it’s so practical that we’re positive it’s going to get stolen multiple times at your next White Elephant.
Bistro Tile Margot Monogram Mug
Anthropologie
It’s finally hot cocoa season, so celebrate by gifting your beloved a new mug. We’re pretty smitten with Anthropologie’s wide selection of chic, cute, and festive styles, but we’re particularly drawn to this monogram/tile design, which’ll transport them to an edgy Parisian café.
J.Crew Cashmere Beanie
J.Crew
We understand that gifting a simple beanie may seem unsentimental, but a practical and versatile item like this can be truly special, especially when it’s made of luxurious cashmere. So what if they don’t shed a tear when they open it? They’ll be thanking you every time their ears don’t freeze off in the future.
Meridian Trimmer
Meridian
Long gone are the days of trimmers that pulled and nicked your skin while removing hair. This smooth, quiet, and gentle trimmer makes a great gift for anyone looking to remove unwanted fuzz from their face, legs, underarms, or anywhere else. The ceramic blades glide through even the coarsest of hair, and they don’t need to be replaced often (usually you can use the same one for a few months before it gets dull). If you know someone in need of a shaving upgrade, this starter kit comes with an electric razor and charger, replacement blade, two trim guide combs, and a convenient brush for easy cleaning.
Dagne Dover Arlo Small Tech Organizer
Nordstrom
If you’re looking to give something that your loved one will actually use every day, try this incredibly smart tech case. It’ll keep all their tangled wires and chargers organized on the go, and will prove to be a lifesaver when they’re traveling for the holidays and lugging all their gear back home.*
12 Mornings of Coffee 2023 Specialty Coffee Advent Calendar
Bean Box
This holiday season, infuse your dear ones’ daily caffeine kick with a festive twist. This handy advent calendar contains 12 bags of expertly curated coffee — each with enough to make a full pot of four to six steaming, delicious cups of joe. Oh, and if they’re true coffee connoisseurs, they’ll appreciate that each one comes with specific brewing instructions and tasting notes.
Starface Hydro-Stars
Starface
We’ve been conditioned to think we have to camoflauge gnarly blemishes under layers of makeup, but Starface’s pimple patches will make you want to show them off. No, they’re not just stickers; they’re made with hydrocolloid, which is clinically proven to absorb fluid. Simply pop it on a zit and let the star work its magic. Think of them as tiny Christmas miracles.
Futurewise Slugging System
Futurewise
When we talk about slugging, we’re not referring to the cute little slimy creatures you find on the forest floor. Slugging is the trendy skincare practice of applying a protective layer over your products to lock in hydration and beneficial ingredients overnight, leaving you with hydrated, dewy skin. To help you get started, this all-in-one system includes a moisture-locking balm (which creates a cocoon-like protective layer), a hydrating mist, and a barrier-repairing moisturizer (to replenish and preserve moisture). One buyer confesses, “I’m probably one of the laziest people when it comes to skincare. Not only has this program been easy to follow, but it’s seriously helped my poor, thinning, menopausal skin.”
Umami Cart Slipper/Sauce Bundle
Umami Cart
Wearing outdoor footwear inside is a sin for many, and there are plenty of good reasons to remove your shoes before stepping into a home. Plus, there’s no denying that a pair of slippers is an extra-cozy winter gift. This clever pair features images of your favorite sauces (Kewpie mayo and Sriracha) and includes a bottle of each sauce, too.
Le Mini Macaron Pearlescent Gel Manicure Set
Le Mini Macaron
Make self-care easy (and pretty) with this gorgeous gel manicure set. It includes an LED lamp with USB charging cord, a bottle of gel polish, a (crucial) cuticle stick, 10 gel polish removal wraps, and a mini nail file — in other words, everything you need to take your manicure into your own…hands. One happy reviewer writes, “I’m a nurse, so I wash my hands a million times a day. This has not budged and saved me tons of money and salon time. I’ve purchased many kits as gifts too, that’s how much I love it.”
Recovery Pills
Flyby
It’s no secret that the holidays can get a little rowdy. These recovery pills fit perfectly in a stocking and will facilitate a smooth bounce-back after a night of boozy eggnog. Packed with electrolytes and antioxidants, all they’ll have to do is pop a pill before bed and absorb the benefits in their sleep. Goodbye, hang-xiety!
Luna Hot/Cold Weighted Eye Mask
Luna
If you’re shopping for someone who needs some extra relaxation in their life, this eye mask will help them achieve that. This eye cover has a weighted insert that can be warmed in the microwave or chilled in the freezer, depending on the user’s needs. As one reviewer says, “I use the mask from the freezer and it’s the perfect end to my day.” Not only will the temperature cool them down or warm them up, but the soft fleece will feel like a hug for their face, and the wide coverage will block out light while they sleep (but if they use it for sleep, make sure the weighted insert is removed).
VoChill Wine Cooler
Amazon
Some of us like to enjoy a glass of wine with dinner but are such slow sippers that the wine loses its chill before we can finish. That’s where this chic cradle comes in — simply set your stemmed glass in the cooler and it’ll stay at an optimal temperature. It helps that it’s got a swanky sculptural look that’ll serve as a conversation starter, and also comes in a stemless version. One buyer says, “This is perfect! It keeps your wine glass chilled even on hot summer days. These make the best gift! I’m stocking up on them.”
Drift Car Freshener
Drift
Shopping for someone with a long commute? There’s a decent chance they’re sick of buying garish gas station air fresheners. Give them something they’ll appreciate every day with this subtle air freshener that releases natural scents. This starter pack comes with one fragrance, and refills are $9 per month, which is a small price to pay for a car that’s actually inviting.
National Parks 2024 Calendar
Parks Project
There’s no denying that a calendar is a timeless gift, but it’s also time-sensitive, so it’s best to give it as an end-of-year-present, not for some other mid-year celebration. Rather than picking up something cookie-cutter (cute puppies, sexy fireman, flowers, vistas, that sorta thing), opt for this bright, cheerful, and heavily detailed calendar. Each month features a fun and informative illustration of a national park, making it a great choice for nature and art lovers.
Tom’s Perfect 10 Holiday Granola Tin
Tom’s Perfect 10
If you think granola is boring and tasteless, you’re in for a surprise. This holiday tin contains four bestselling granola flavors from Tom’s Perfect 10: mint chip, mangonada, tiramisu, and golden apple cider. Yep, you read that right — this granola is anything but bland. In fact, trying out-0f-the-box flavors is such a fun adventure, this gift will be the star of any holiday breakfast spread.

Pamper Your Friends and Family With the Best Beauty Gift Sets This Year
From designer fragrances to travel-sized skincare, all with a holiday twist.
Products you buy through our links might earn us a commission. We update links when possible, but please note that all prices are subject to change.
In the competitive art of gift-giving, beauty and skincare sets are power players. After all, there’s a reason why the beauty industry is considered recession-proof: The desire to pamper oneself tends to carry us through tough times, but self-care is always a necessity.
Whether it’s Taylor Swift-inspired red lipstick, the uplifting sparkle of glittering nail polishes, or the soothing effect of luxury skincare essentials, the expansive world of beauty has the power to raise spirits.
As we enter the season of giving, it’s high time to share the joy of makeup, moisturizer, and everything in between with your loved ones. From clean-beauty stocking stuffers to a luxurious fragrance that has withstood the test of time to a splurge-worthy hair styler, we found the holiday best gift sets from Chanel, Dyson, Jones Road, and Merit at all price points. Because everyone on your list deserves a dash of glamour.
For more gift ideas, visit our complete 2023 holiday gift guide.
Best Beauty and Skincare Holiday Gift Sets 2023
CHANEL N°5 Eau de Parfum Body Oil Set
Chanel
Meant for anyone who appreciates the finer things in life, Chanel’s iconic N°5 Body Oil and Eau de Parfum duo is a little slice of luxury. If Marilyn Monroe approved the scent (it’s been said that it’s all she wore to bed), this elegant pair will certainly hit the mark for the other icons on your list. (And if you’re looking for a Chanel gift at a lower price point, check out this trio of glossy nail polishes complete with logo decals, or the bestselling hand cream that fits neatly in most purses.)
Grande Lash Lash & Brow Besties Set
Ulta
Serums aren’t just for your skin. Grande Lash makes one of the top-selling lash serums in the country, with results that lengthen and strengthen over time. Even better, this set includes that particular item, plus a brow serum and the brand’s amazing mascara. Combined, these three items will give you a natural boost to your already gorgeous visage!
Athena Club Razor Kit
Athena Club
Knicks and bumps getting you down? It might be time to switch what you shave with. Athena Club’s razors deliver a super-close shave with no burn, and they come in a bunch of cute colors. This kit comes with a stylish razor handle, blade, and a magnetic storage hook for easy shower stowing.
Merit Five Minute Morning Set
Merit
For the person on your list who’s overwhelmed or intimidated by the beauty world and the plethora of products out there, we recommend Merit’s Five Minute Morning Set, which consists of seven essentials for perfecting your natural appearance in a breeze. The impossible-to-mess-up products include the popular Minimalist, a do-it-all complexion corrector designed to cover up any imperfections without masking your natural beauty; and Merit’s Flush Balm, which adds a soft wash of color that lasts throughout the day but doesn’t feel heavy.*
Coco & Eve Scalp Health Holiday Edition Set
Coco & Eve
Is there anything more luxurious than a scalp massage at your hair salon? Well, this is the second best thing. Coco & Eve packaged their haircare super products, including sulfate-free formulas that include hyaluronic acid for boosted moisturizer. Our favorite part of this deal, of course, is the included scalp tool, which gently exfoliates your scalp and increases blood circulation, which in turn can lead to hair growth.
Beauty Pie Genius Lift Ultra-firming Cryotherapy Set
Beauty Pie
Waking up with puffy eyes is no joke, and it’s even more common in the winter months when having the heat on leads to dryer air while you’re sleeping. These stainless steel cryo globes make for a cooling, soothing facial massage, and the hydrating serum supercharges their benefits to leave skin glowing. The lightweight serum is suitable for all skin types, while the globes can also be used to target knots and soreness on your back, arms, legs, and more. Store the globes in the fridge so you can grab them at any time.*
Augustinus Bader Winter Radiance System
Saks Fifth Avenue
Whose skin doesn’t need a little extra TLC during the dry winter months? This product isn’t cheap, but you get what you pay when it comes to this sustainably sourced and science-backed brand: Katie’s a huge fan of Augustinus Bader because its products are more effective than anything she’s tried before. The seasonal Winter Radiance System set contains The Rich Cream, which guides nutrients into your skin at the right concentrations to prompt cell renewal; a pack of brightening eye patches; and The Cream Cleansing Gel, which helps reduce redness and preserve the skin’s moisture. This one’s ideal for the skincare aficionado in the family.
Jo Malone London Cologne Collection
Nordstrom
It’s probably a safe bet that someone you’re shopping for has a soft spot for Jo Malone — so many have a personal connection or memory tied to this timeless fragrance brand. Give that person in your life a sweet treat with this mini set, which includes five of JM’s best-selling scents. Packaged in a festive gingerbread-inspired holiday gift box, they’ll be able to test out options ranging from lime basil to bluebells.
Peach & Lily Glass Skin Discovery Kit
Peach & Lily
K-beauty — aka Korean beauty — may not be on everyone’s radar, but the uninitiated should start with this assortment of goodies. The set includes Peach & Lily’s bestselling products, both in the states and overseas. It’s a trial-sized version of the brand’s cult-favorite four-step skincare routine, including the Power Calm Hydrating Gel Cleanse, Wild Dew Treatment Essence, Glass Skin Refining Serum, and Matcha Pudding Antioxidant Cream. Combined, these will help you achieve the dewy #GlassSkin effect that’s perpetually trending on TikTok.
Tubby Winter Gift Set
Tubby Todd
If your recipient has sensitive skin or a child, consider Tubby Todd your go-to gift source. Supply them with all the safe and mild bath products they’ll need by giving them Tubby Todd’s seasonal set, perfect for combatting the dry, cracked skin that winter ushers in. The gorgeous box comes with hair and body wash, lotion, and a bubble bath all in their limited edition vanilla and apricot scent, and you can add a few bath bombs for an extra dose of luxury. If you want scented skincare products without the harsh chemicals, Tubby Todd is the way to go.
ILIA Color Ways Multi-Stick Set
ILIA
This limited edition set will have you — or your giftee — looking party-ready in seconds. It features three shades of ILIA’s bestselling multi-stick, which adds buildable and blendable color to your lips, cheeks, or wherever else you deem
worthy of attention. Mix the shades or use them individually: Customization is the name of the game with this product.*
Jones Road Platinum Pink Kit
Jones Road
Jones Road, Bobbi Brown’s beauty brainchild, created a limited-edition gift bag with all the beauty accoutrements one might need to achieve a lovely glow for day or night. For silver-jewelry wearers, opt for this Pink Platinum Kit, which includes a blush-and-lip-color combo in an English rose pink, black eyeliner, a sparkly pink eyeshadow gel, and the brand’s bestselling Miracle Balm in a translucent pink shade. For those who prefer a more golden hue, check out the Jones Road Pink Champagne.
Deborah Lippman Limited-Edition 9-Piece Nail Polish Set
Deborah Lippman
Whether you’re treating your bestie, niece, or replenishing your own collection, Deborah Lipmann’s 9-piece mini nail polish set is the ultimate way to spread some holiday cheer — just try not to smile when your friend waves their glimmering fingertips at you. The glittering shades will make a statement 0n New Year’s Eve, and they’ll add a shimmery twist to every cozy sweater or legging look well into 2024.
Saie Mini Dew Blush Trio
Sephora
Got a clean-beauty enthusiast on your list? Female-founded brand Saie is a leader in creating beauty products that double as skincare, and this year, they’re selling a limited-edition set of their bestselling Dew Blush shades, which pop on a wide range of skin tones. (They also created adorable mini sizes of their Glowy Super Gels, which add the softest sheen to any natural face makeup look.) Gift the whole set or pop one into three different stockings.
Dior Beauty Rouge Discovery Mini Lipstick Set
Dior Beauty
Life’s most indulgent treasures are often found in the smallest packages: Think Swiss chocolates, engagement rings, and this trio of mini Christian Dior lipsticks. Lucky for you, the French fashion house is offering complimentary shipping, samples, and gift-wrapping with each purchase this season. These three hues are a gorgeous base for any beauty lover, in shades that range from subtle pink to spicy red. (Plus, the beautiful golden Dior gift box this set arrives in can easily double as statement décor on a nightstand or bookshelf.)
The Rhode Kit: Four Skin Glazing Essentials
rhode
Here’s one for the Hailey Bieber fanatic in your life. The model-turned-skincare-founder made it her mission to “make one of everything really good” when crafting her brand rhode. So it’s extra-exciting that the skincare line’s holiday bundle contains four of its signatures: a Peptide Lip Treatment (a super long-lasting lip gloss), the Glazing Milk (a lightweight essence that preps your skin), the Peptide Glazing Fluid (a daily serum), and the Barrier Restore Cream (a go-to-moisturizer).
Supergoop! SPF Bestsellers Starter Kit
Nordstrom
You could wax poetic about the need to wear SPF all year-round to everyone at your holiday dining table, or you could opt for a more subtle approach and surprise your loved ones with this travel-ready assortment of Supergoop!’s top sunscreen performers. This set comes with Glow Screen, Unseen Sunscreen, and Play, all wrapped up in a bright, sunshine-y cosmetics bag.
T3 AireBrush Duo Blow Dry Brush Set
Nordstrom
For the wannabe hair stylist in your life — or anyone who’d appreciate getting a salon blowout at home without overspending — T3’s AireBrush Duo Blow Dry Brush Set is the way to go. With five heat and three speed settings, plus two attachment options, this brush uses proprietary IonFlow technology to pump up the volume on dull hair, all while reducing frizz and adding shine. The results are [chef’s kiss].
Biography First Edition Hand & Body Wash and Cream
Biography
This luxurious hand and body wash and cream duo makes an excellent gift for anyone whose hands suffer during the winter (meaning, pretty much everyone who steps outside or has an over-ambitious heater). The package includes exfoliating pumice and quartz, alongside softening plant extracts to leave your hands exceptionally smooth. The cream doubles down with moisturizing babassu oil and other hydrating ingredients to further soothe skin without feeling greasy. The spicy, woodsy scent is wonderfully cozy for the chilly months ahead.*
Yves Saint Laurent Mini Lash Clash & Rouge Pur Couture Satin Lipstick Set
Yves Saint Laurent
What epitomizes holiday glamour more than a timeless red lip? This Yves Saint Laurent set is adorned with a creamy rouge and nude lipstick (which promises up to 16 hours of comfortable wear) and a petite version of the brand’s volumizing mascara, both designed to nestle inside the included makeup bag.
Dyson Special Edition Dyson Airwrap Multi-Styler
Dyson
By now you’ve probably heard the lore about Dyson’s cult-favorite Airwrap hair styler, and we’re here to tell you that despite the hefty initial investment, it’s totally worth the splurge. With multiple attachments that can be swapped out to blow dry, curl, smooth, and all-around transform your hair, this nifty gadget truly does it all. Plus, it’s made for all hair types and uses aerodynamic technology that not only reduces heat damage but also dries hair faster than traditional tools. It’s a popular high-end gift for a very good reason.
Trudon Gloria and Gabriel Scented Candle Set
Farfetch
While candles aren’t traditionally considered beauty products, they do illuminate your mood and your face, which means they’re a beauty must-have to us. So we had to include this festive set from go-to French candlemaker brand, Trudon, which is celebrating its 380 years in business. (It’s safe to say you don’t retain centuries of loyal customers without selling wildly rich scents that add irresistible aromas to any room they’re placed in.)
LAWLESS The Dreamy Dozen Talc-Free Eyeshadow Palette
Sephora
Our list wouldn’t be complete without a highly versatile eyeshadow palette. LAWLESS has introduced a sleek new kit featuring 12 talc-free shades, three of which are ideal for adding shimmer to your look, whether for a daytime neutral appearance or a dramatic smokey eye for a night out. This palette is a convenient replacement for all those loose eyeshadow compacts floating around your loved one’s bag of beauty tools.
Harry’s Men’s Craft Gift Set
Harry’s
We found an opulent shaving gift box for those who balk at the price of razors these days. ($20 to start, and then you need to buy replacement heads every few months? No thanks.) Harry’s designed a sleek setup that includes: a limited-edition sophisticated and sturdy blue metallic razor with an ergonomic handle and rubber grip that designed for control; two extra blade cartridges with a flex hinge, lubricating strip, and precision trimmer for those hard-to-reach spots; a travel blade cover; and a nourishing foaming shave gel that creates a rich lather and smooth glide. This bundle looks as good as their face will, and all for just $30.

We Found a Secret Stash of Stellar Father’s Day Gifts on lululemon
KCM
Athleisure he’ll love, for here, there, and everywhere.
Products you buy through our links might earn us a commission. We update links when possible, but please note that all prices are subject to change.
To make a sweeping generalization, there are two types of dads out there: The ones who are on top of every clothing and accessory trend and love trying new things, and fathers who’ve been wearing the same brand — maybe even the same item — for decades. No matter which category your favorite dad falls into, one thing’s certain: There’s a very high possibility they’d love to receive something from lululemon.
For the trend hunters, lululemon constantly releases new and updated products, like supportive slides he’ll find himself wearing all day, or odor-resistant polos that are perfect for summer. But even the most set-in-their-ways recipients can appreciate unbelievably comfortable boxers (and anyone can use a fresh new pair added to their underwear drawer).
To take the stress out of the search for a great Father’s Day gift, we combed through lululemon’s extensive offerings to find the best of the best, whether your guy’s in the market for office-appropriate pants that feel like sweats or golf gear that’ll take him through a 36-hole day.
For more dad-approved finds, shop our complete Father’s Day Gift Guide.
The Best Father’s Day Gifts From lululemon
ABC Pull-On Pant
lululemon
At this point, lots of us are familiar with lululemon’s spotlight-stealing ABC Pants, which bring all the style of your favorite five-pocket jeans without the stiffness or heaviness of denim. For a more relaxed fit that’s still wrinkle-free and polished, go with this pull-on version of the ABC, which features an elastic waistband and comes in six neutral colors.
Commission Classic-Fit Pant
lululemon
For sleeker pants perfect for the office and beyond, we recommend the Commission Classic-Fit trousers, which are made of the same breathable, stretchy material as the ABCs and also come in five inseam lengths. They’re perfect for anyone who objects to wearing anything more casual than khakis. (Call him Mr. Fancy Pants.)
Always in Motion Boxer 3-Pack
lululemon
Receiving socks and underwear as a kid felt like getting a lump of coal, but it’s a different story as an adult. You might not want to splurge on high-quality underwear for yourself, so it’s a great feeling when someone else does that for you. These are made with a super-soft modal that’s sweat-wicking, quick-drying, and stretchy yet supportive. Essentially, it’s everything you could possibly want in underwear, and in two different length options, too.
Metal Vent Tech Polo Shirt, Updated
lululemon
Golf season is in full swing (sorry, had to do it), and while we aren’t going to say that gifting him a new polo is the most creative idea, giving one that’s engineered to be high-performing is definitely a solid move. This shirt is designed for regular exercise as much as it is for golf, constructed with a stretchy and breathable mesh fabric that also incorporates odor-fighting tech. It’s sporty-looking, so if your guy prefers a more polished look, we recommend the Evolution Short-Sleeve Polo Shirt.
City Sweat Jogger
lululemon
Sometimes you just need a really good pair of sweatpants. Luckily for us, lululemon’s City Sweat Jogger checks all the boxes, so your giftee can finally retire that Garfield pair he’s been wearing since the ’80s. They’re soft, have added stretch to help prevent them from getting baggy around the knees and rear, and come in three different inseams to serve the short and tall alike. You heard that right: Sweatpants with multiple inseams.
Airing Easy Camp Collar Shirt
lululemon
It’s vacation season, baby, and whether the man you’re buying for is actually heading oceanside or just wishing he was, bring the resort vibes to him with this breezy shirt. It’s super lightweight and designed to be loose-fitting, so it’s ideal for those hot and humid summer days when the only plausible course of action is sipping a cool drink in the shade (or in front of a fan).
Restfeel Men’s Slide
lululemon
Whether you’re buying for an avid gym-goer or a dress-shoes-in-the-office dandy, everyone could use a pair of supportive, comfortable shoes to slip into around the house. These dense, sturdy slides are great for standing chores like washing the dishes or folding laundry. Plus, they come with a 30-day trial period, so he can return them for a full refund if they don’t work for him.
Pace Breaker Lined Short
lululemon
Regardless of your giftee’s exercise of choice, the Pace Breaker is a safe bet. It has a soft mesh liner and a roomy cut in the hips and thighs to allow for a full range of motion, on top of being lightweight and quick-drying. All that, and they still look sleek enough to wear out to a casual BBQ.
Metal Vent Tech Short-Sleeve Shirt, Updated
lululemon
When it comes to men’s workout shirts, lululemon’s Metal Vent Tech seems to be the uncontested leader of the pack. Its new version of the classic doesn’t have seams on the side (translation: no chafing) and is shaped a little differently from previous versions to prevent clinginess. Plus, it has odor-reducing technology so you can go longer between washes. Buy it in white to wear as a comfy undershirt.
Expeditionist Jacket
lululemon
This jacket was made for early tee times and everything that comes with them: changing temperatures, short-lived rain, and unexpected fog. It’s made of a ripstop fabric that’s water-repellent, lightweight, and stretchy, with breathable mesh in the underarms to keep the wearer cool and comfortable.
Everywhere Belt Bag Large 2L
lululemon
Not every dad is a Fanny Pack Dad, but for those who are, we have just the thing. This slightly larger version of the bestselling Everywhere Belt Bag can carry the essentials plus a little extra — perfect for all the just-in-casers out there. Overloaded pockets, begone!
Fast and Free Running Belt
lululemon
Running with your phone can be a real pain in the butt, and if you’re shopping for someone who’s tried it every which way (in the pocket, held in the hand, strapped to the arm, etc.) and hates them all, it may be time to try a running belt. It may not look like much, but this little guy can stretch to fit your phone, keys, cards, and even lip balm or an energy gel.
Everyday Backpack 2.0
lululemon
A good backpack is a true game-changer. Imagine having thoughtfully designed compartments and pockets for all the chargers, laptops, water bottles, and odds and ends we carry around every day instead of just chucking it all into a black hole. With a padded laptop sleeve, water-repellent fabric, and pockets galore, this one will keep your giftee’s possessions safe and organized.

We completely support the argument that it’s the thought that counts. But sometimes, the correct thought is to go the extra mile and spend your hard-earned money on a luxurious gift for someone you really care about.
Let’s clarify what we mean by luxurious, though: Great things can certainly come in small packages, so a fancy gift can be any size and any price. And while an impressive gift sometimes requires spending a little more money than you’d pay for a typical tchotchke, we’re not expecting anyone to take out a loan for a gift. Luxury can be expensive, but it can also be anything that results in a lavish experience. A super-soft faux-fur throw certainly counts as luxe, and the right one won’t break the bank. You get where we’re going with this.
So if you want to impress your gift recipient for Mother’s Day, choose one of these gifts that look sophisticated but are actually a lot more affordable than you’d think. Just don’t let them see the price tag.

Affordable Gifts That Look More Expensive Than They Are
Anthropologie Monarch Monogram Mug
Anthropologie
There is no such thing as too many mugs, especially when they’re a mini piece of artwork. Beautiful spring florals, butterflies, and fruits are scattered playfully around a personal monogram, making this a personalized gift. And right now, Anthropologie is really celebrating moms with up to 30 percent off Mother’s Day gifts right now.
Barefoot Dreams CozyChic Fringed Jacket
Barefoot Dreams
This cardigan is essentially a throw blanket you can wear without judgement. Made from the same material of Barefoot Dreams’ cult-favorite blankets, this sweater is perfect for layering over a T-shirt on a chilly day or wearing around the house 24/7. It’s on sale for more than 50 percent off right now, making it even more appealing.
Thirdlove 24/7 Bra
Thirdlove
Arguably the best feeling you could give someone is allowing them to go braless 24/7 (society, be damned!), but this smooth and supportive bra is the next best thing. There’s light padding to keep everything under wraps (even when it’s cold), and the underwire is encased in a soft fabric that prevents any rubbing or poking. Right now, you can snag this for only $49 as part of Thirdlove’s Mother’s Day sale, no code necessary.
32 Degrees High-Waist Flare Pants
32 Degrees
It’s official: Yoga pants are the new leggings. If you know someone who wants to try the trend without investing a ton, opt for these stylish flares from 32 Degrees. They cost less than $20, but they look like a thousand bucks.
Brandless Pro-Blender
Brandless
Crush, blend, mix, and stir with this countertop wonder. While similar models cost upward of $300, this one from Brandless works just as well. From morning smoothies to savory soups, this thing can do it all. It’s perfect for the mom who has too much on her plate already but fantasizes about being that put-together matriarch who makes nutritious breakfast shakes every morning.
NuFace Mini Facial Device
Nordstrom Rack
You can save some major money on a luxury gift if you opt for something refurbished rather than new. This NuFace toning device is good as new, but it may have small cosmetic imperfections, which is why it’s discounted. Reviewers say it looks and works just as nice as a new one, so you can hardly tell the difference.
Clarks Merliah Echo Sandal
Zappos
These comfy sandals have a chunky platform that will add about an inch to your height without weighing down your walk. Reviewers give these extra points for being adjustable at the heel and top of the foot because it allows for a custom fit that makes the shoe even more cushy. These would make a great gift for any shoe lover (or yourself).
lululemon Scuba High-Rise Jogger
lululemon
Many moms live in loungewear, but if you ask them where they got their favorite sweats, they might have a hard time remembering, and that would be because they’ve been wearing the same pair for years. While parents know the value of practical clothing, it’s rarely the thing they think of when treating themselves. But maybe they should. Upgrade her athleisure wardrobe with these cozy high-waisted joggers. They have an incredibly soft interior fabric, and this specific pair is specially priced, so it’s soft on your wallet, too.
Chanel Rouge Allure
Nordstrom
Yes, it’s Chanel, and yes, it costs less than $100. This luscious lipstick rings in at under $50, but feels and looks like it costs so much more. Whether you opt for the classic red or go for something more neutral, your giftee will be wowed by a chic designer gift.
Cynthia Rowley Quilted Weekender
T.J.Maxx
Frequent flyers and regular travelers know that upgrading luggage is expensive — and stressful. Thankfully, this bag from Cynthia Rowley is affordable and includes all the room a weekend warrior would need for a few days on the road. It has several pockets to keep them organized, and the quilted texture is au courant.
Lucky Brand Linen Blend Embroidered Sleeveless Mini Dress
Marshalls
If you know someone going on a vacation in the near future, ask to tag along. Just kidding. Instead, make their trip one to remember with a gift they can take along with them. This white linen blend dress is light enough to wear on the hottest of summer days as a coverup or by itself. They’ll be thanking you for it for trips to come.
Shark IQ App Controlled Robot Vacuum
Amazon
Even though this robo vacuum is expensive, it’s a truly priceless gift. Imagine giving the mom in your life a break from constantly cleaning up after furry friends, crumby children, or messy spouses — we’re pretty sure you would be her new best friend. This model is refurbished, so it’s less expensive than a brand new one, but it has been restored to work perfectly.
Pat McGrath Lip Fetish Vinyl Lip Shine
Sephora
Beauty gurus will appreciate this high-shine lipstick from makeup great Pat McGrath. A simple swipe will give them instantly kissable lips — or at least photo ready ones. Might want to lay off the kissing to keep the color in place.
Cozy Earth Bamboo Sheets
Cozy Earth
One of the most important things in life? Sleep. One of the things many mothers lack? Sleep. Hopefully these incredibly soft sheets will aid her in drifting off for a full eight hours, but you may have to offer babysitting on the side for that to happen.
J.Crew Ruffle-Collar Mini Dress
J.Crew
For the fashion lovers, a bold dress is a great choice for a gift. The organic cotton material this one is made from is breathable and durable, and the ruffled collar and puff sleeves elevate it from your average shirtdress.
Quince Silk Pillowcase
Quince
Consider this a two for one gift: skincare and a good night’s rest. Using a silk pillowcase instead of a cotton one reduces static and friction, which can help prevent hair breakage and skin creasing. Plus, it just looks beautiful on a bed.
Soko Dash Layered Necklace
Madewell
This delicate piece features two chains with a small charms daintily hanging from one. Katie loves statement necklaces, and while this one is simple, the bright gold color is elegantly bold with its minimalism.

lululemon Is Celebrating Moms This Year With a Curated Collection — Here’s What We’re Buying
Graphic by KCM
Update their wardrobe with these picks from our favorite athleisure retailer.
Products you buy through our links might earn us a commission. We update links when possible, but please note that all prices are subject to change.
Let’s admit it: Going to the gym and moving your body is so much easier when you are confident in your workout gear. Hitting the tennis courts in a fun skirt or going for a walk in flattering leggings is so much more satisfying than donning old sweats and a grungy T-shirt. Looking cool and feeling comfy in your favorite athleisure is an instant mood booster — whether you’re heading out for a grocery run or actually running.
When it comes to finding that balance, ensuring you have gear that enhances your workout instead of just surviving it is key. And lululemon knows a thing or two about making beautiful, functional clothing that can go from the gym to errands to a soiree seamlessly.
We love shopping the brand year-round, but this year they curated a selection of top-notch gifts for all types of moms. Leading up to Mother’s Day, they’re celebrating parents who are constantly doing the most and need some time to care for themselves — whether that’s with a workout or a break in front of the television — in the comfort they deserve.

Best Mother’s Day Gifts from lululemon 2023
Everywhere Belt Bag
lululemon
When you’re juggling a million things at once, the last thing you need is to also be balancing a heavy purse and keys. This belt bag can be worn as a fanny pack or crossbody, and it’s just big enough for the essentials. Wearing it means your hands will be free all day, but everything you need will be kept close.
Scuba Oversized Half Zip Hoodie
lululemon
If you can’t be there to give the mama in your life a hug on Mother’s Day, you may as well gift her a sweatshirt that feels like one. Made from a cotton blend that’s super soft on the inside and smooth on the outside, this will keep her warm on chilly mornings or when the AC is blasting in the office.
Cinchable Wide-Brim Bucket Hat
lululemon
It’s so romantic in movies when a woman’s hat goes flying off into the wind and an attractive gentleman goes running after it for her, but that isn’t always what happens in real life. But if you’ve ever experienced a hat whisking away, you know it’s not all that grand. For your mom, this hat may become her new best friend. You can easily adjust the tightness of the hat by cinching the elastic on either side, but it won’t become bunchy or wrinkly thanks to the wide, floppy brim. We’ll take one in all four colors, please.
Easy Access Crossbody Bag
lululemon
Let’s face it: When it comes to bags, size does matter. This crossbody is tiny but mighty, boasting a surprising amount of room inside a double-zipper main compartment. You’ll easily be able to fit keys, a phone, a wallet, and a foldable grocery tote inside — but this Mother’s Day, someone else should do the grocery shopping.
Groove Super-High-Rise Flared Pants
lululemon
We knew that bootcut jeans were back in style, but flared yoga pants are now entering the chat. On days when she prefers more (literal) leg room, opting for a wide-leg style is the way to go. These are just as snug as her favorite leggings, and lately Katie’s found herself preferring flares for day-to-day wear.
Back to Life Sport Bottle
lululemon
Hydration is key, whether during a workout or while sitting at a computer for work. This 24-ounce bottle is made from double-walled steel to keep water cold for hours, and a leak-proof lid avoids any wet mishaps in your purse or gym bag. There are also 13 different colors to choose from, so she won’t be stuck guessing which black water bottle is hers ever again.
Clean Lines Tote Bag
lululemon
Chances are most moms would appreciate this well-designed bag. It’s light enough for everyday use, like commuting to work or toting baby supplies, but it’s large enough to work as a weekender for quick road trips or overnight stays. It comes in olive, black, and tan, and it can easily be folded flat when not in use.
Baller Hat
lululemon
As sunnier days approach, it becomes even more important to protect your skin from harsh UV rays. Moms on the go will appreciate this lightweight hat that blocks their face from the sun and adds a sporty touch to any outfit.
The Mat 5mm
lululemon
Sure, you can get a yoga mat just about anywhere, but it won’t be as soft as this one. It’s made from sustainably sourced rubber, which gives it a squishy texture. The top has a 3-D texture that changes near the edges, so you can easily feel if you’re about to fall off. It’s non-slip, even during hot yoga sessions, and comes in six different colors.
Classic-Fit Cotton-Blend Tank Top
lululemon
With summer right around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about warm weather outfits. A simple tank top is a must for rising temps, and it’s even better when made from a breathable cotton-like fabric. We love this one for the casual fit and quick-drying properties, but we have to admit it looks cute, too.
Smooth Fit Pull-On High-Rise Pant
lululemon
Want to gift the woman in your life an entire outfit? Pair that cotton tank with these versatile trousers. They’re made with a fabric similar to the Align leggings, but in a silhouette that’s classy enough to wear to the office or an afternoon celebration.
Strongfeel Training Shoe
lululemon
Building physical strength all starts with a steady foundation, which is why having the right kind of shoes during a workout is important. These sneakers are made specifically for training, and they have a flatter sole so they won’t knock you off balance while lifting weights or doing jumping exercises. They’re just as comfortable as their running counterpart, the Blissfeel, but they come in different colors.
Blissfeel 2 Running Shoes
lululemon
lululemon recently debuted the new and improved version of their famous Blissfeel. The main upgrade is the shoe’s ability to contour to the foot thanks to an improved textile liner that acts sort of like a sock while you’re running or walking. Athletes say it offers stability while still allowing for your feet to flex without issues while taking a jog.
Align 28″ High-Rise Leggings
lululemon
We can’t not recommend a pair of lululemon’s Align leggings as the perfect gift, because they truly are an athleisure essential. They fit like a second skin, have a buttery soft texture, and are so easy to walk around in it’s unreal. This pair has a super high waist to keep your midsection supported, and the flat seams prevent chafing and discomfort.
Pace Rival Mid-Rise Skirt Extra Long
lululemon
For the pickleball fiends, having a skort that works on and off the court is a must. This one has a zipper pocket in the back for a phone or keys, built-in shorts, and pockets to hold balls or other essentials. We also noticed that this particular style is longer than your average skirt, so you won’t feel like you’re showing off too much (at least when it comes to skin — your game is another story).
Align Bodysuit 25”
lululemon
Adding a jumpsuit to your workout wardrobe may seem silly, but it’s a great option for a morning yoga practice or pilates class. This one is made from a smooth fabric that seems nearly weightless, and it’ll keep you completely covered no matter what kind of poses or positions you have to be in.
Sculpt Cropped Tank Top
lululemon
For the moms who run on the regular, having a tank that doesn’t soak in their sweat is essential. This tank has wide straps that will cover her bra, and a small cutout in the back for extra airflow. Reflective details ensure she’s seen, even during early morning or late night runs. There are seven colors to choose from, too, so she may end up wanting one of each!
Court Rival High-Rise Skirt
lululemon
She’ll be known for both her backhand and stylish outfits on the tennis court with another sporty skirt. The one is made from a four-way stretch fabric to allow her to pivot with ease, and the shorts underneath provide coverage. Built-in pockets are perfect for holding extra balls or her phone, and the high waist is extremely flattering. Katie loves these skirts for pickleball, too! She personally owns this style in navy and gray.
Align High-Rise Shorts
lululemon
Once it’s too hot to wear leggings, don’t panic — high-rise bike shorts are here to take their place. We like this pair because it has an inseam that gives you sufficient coverage but is more flattering than a knee-length short. There are also pockets on either side, so you can easily stow away your phone or credit card when you’re running errands.

The world of Valentine’s Day gifts has come a long way since chocolates, carnations, and greeting cards featuring Cupid’s arrow. Now, there are plenty of unique ways people are using the holiday as an excuse to share some love, whether it’s with a romantic partner or not. Maybe your best friend finally retired or started the business she’s always talked about — congratulate her with a fun Valentine’s Day gift.

35 Best Valentine’s Day Gifts Under $100
Cushion Lab Pressure Relief Seat Cushion
Cushion Lab
It might not sound romantic, but what’s a better gift than support? We’re all spending more time at home on our bottoms these days, and if your giftee could use a little boost, this pressure-relief seat cushion manages to be a practical and thoughtful surprise.
LAKE Weekend Nightgown
LAKE
Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be all about lingerie and heart emojis. Lake pajamas are beloved here at Katie Couric Media, whether we’re polling our editors or our readers. Think outside of the heart-shaped box with this sweet nightgown, dotted with adorable stars in a cooling pima cotton fabric, which some say is the cashmere of cotton.
J.Crew Heritage Cotton Rollneck Men’s Sweater
J.Crew
Here’s a gift he can wear year-round. A cross between a crewneck and a turtleneck, this versatile knit is made of a heavy cotton that is warm yet breathable. Available in true navy and a creamy white, it’s the kind of classic sweater that can be slotted into almost anyone’s wardrobe.
lululemon Crossbody Camera Bag
lululemon
Not everyone is a fan of belt bags, despite lululemon’s ubiquitous style selling out constantly. For the bum bag averse, this similar crossbody style might be a better pick. It comes in three different colors, has two separate compartments for the ultra-organized, and is made of water-repellent fabric for unexpected rainy days.
Olive & June Bestsellers Nail Polish Set
Olive & June
For your beauty loving BFF, there’s no better nail polish gift set to give than this 10-pack from our favorite nail care brand, Olive & June. These polishes last way longer than a week and the innovative brush design makes getting the polish neatly on your nails so easy.
Maude Spot Vibrator
Maude
There’s no need to be coy on Valentine’s Day, so we love that this gift gets right to the point. Made of soft-touch medical-grade silicone and boasting five different speeds, this powerful yet discreet vibrator is great for solo use or with another person. In other words, it’ll be a very happy holiday.
UGG Scuffette Slipper
Zappos
We’ve said it once and we’ll say it again: UGG slippers are simply the GOAT (greatest of all time). These slides live up to their reputation thanks to the soft lining and water-resistant durability. We’ll always gravitate toward this classic camel color, but if you’re sticking to the Valentine’s Day aesthetic, they also come in a bright pink.
Oui the People All in All Body Balm
Oui the People
The secret to smoother skin is here, and it comes in the form of a nourishing body butter. Made of plant-based retinol alternatives like sea fennel extract (which promotes cell turnover and collagen production), this potent formula smooths skin better than your typical moisturizer. And unlike most body butters, this glides on and instantly melts into your skin, so it won’t leave you with that icky, sticky feeling.
DIY Candle Making Kit
Madewell
Gifting a candle for Valentine’s Day is traditional but can be a little basic. If your person loves scented candles and a crafty project, this set combines both interests. NYC-based candle company Reisfields is known for their beautiful scents, and this set allows your loved one to make one themselves. The kit includes all-natural soy wax, a reusable jar, and dried flowers and energy stones to place within.
Foria Intimacy Bath Salts
Few experiences are as attainably luxurious as a soothing bath. Floria’s bath salts deepen the relaxing ritual with a CBD-infused formula, with the beneficial addition of epsom salt, organically-grown kava, cacao, rose, and more. It’s sure to set the mood for whatever else the night has to offer.
Dame Pom Vibrator
Dmae
We appreciate a sex toy that doesn’t include unnecessary and intimidating bells and whistles. Dame went for the minimalist route, but this petite vibrator still delivers a sensual experience with a wide array of pulses and intensities. Consider this for both amateurs and sexperts alike.
Courant Mag:2 Charger
Courant
We’re the first to admit how attached to our phones we can be, so we don’t blame others if they’re the same. For the like-minded, try gifting a charging station. We’re especially fond of Courant’s model, which looks more like a Danish art piece than a charger.
Air & Anchor Meet Me in the Middle Necklace
Air & Anchor
When it comes to gifting jewelry, it can be easy to fall into the false assumption that it needs to be expensive to be beautiful. Let Air & Anchor set the record straight with gorgeous baubles that fit your budget. Choose from a vintage gold or silver finish with this timeless yet modern necklace, handcrafted in the USA.
Slip Silk Pillowcase
Nordstrom
Pure silk pillowcases are a gift that keeps on giving: They instantly transform your bedscape by giving it a sultry glow. And every night, the fabric cares for your skin and hair, making your sleep luxuriously restorative.
Cleverfy Shower Steamers
Amazon
Things are about to get steamy — literally. This set of shower bombs will elevate your bathroom to a luxury hotel spa with soothing scents like eucalyptus and peppermint. Treat yourself (or others, we suppose) to this unique gift idea immediately.
Bluebonnet Italian Leather Apple Watch Strap
Neiman & Marcus
Smart watches don’t have to be sporty. Upgrade your loved one’s timekeeper with a luxurious leather strap. And, if you’re looking for something trendier, we love this tortoise resin find for $40. (And yes, these are compatible with the Apple Watch.)
Fishers Finery 100% Mulberry Silk Cami Boxer Pajama Set
Amazon
A 100 percent silk pajama set for less than $100? This Fishers Finery set makes a romantic and affordable Valentine’s Day gift. And if you prefer more vibrantly colored sleepwear, you can score this set in a dusty pink, fiery red, and six other shades.
Paper Source Valentine’s Day Gift Bundle
Paper Source
Paper Source wants to be a one-stop-shop for all your small V-Day goodies. The greeting card company has a wide variety of adorable and cheeky Valentine’s Day gift bundles to make the holiday even more seamless. Pick a greeting card, a sweet, a small gift, or kid’s plush toy, and the perfect wrapping to go with it. Voilà! You’re done.
Gorjana Reese Pearl Huggies
Gorjana
You can never go wrong with gifting simple, beautiful jewelry on Valentine’s Day. These pearl drop earrings from Gorjana feature freshwater pearls and are an easy way to add some shine to an everyday outfit.
Just Breathe Eucalyptus Spa Gift Set
Uncommon Goods
Plant moms, rejoice! Uncommon Goods’ Eucalyptus Spa Kit comes with eucalyptus seeds to plant in an adorable bamboo pot that’d be very happy on your windowsill or desktop. Follow a few simple steps, then let the self-watering system go to work.
Brooklinen Super Plush Robe
Brooklinen
Make your partner feel like they’re at a spa by surprising them with this plush bathrobe. Known for creating ultra soft sheets, Brooklinen didn’t skimp on thread count when they crafted this robe using 100 percent Turkish cotton.
JIGGY Sisters by Sasha Ignatiadou Puzzle
JIGGY
Looking for a cute way to show your sister some love? Invite her over, pull out a bottle of your favorite wine, then get to work on this JIGGY puzzle. The beautiful Sisters design is by German artist @sasha.ignatiadou and the kit comes with puzzle glue so you can save the art and hang it up after you finish.
Hanky Panky 3-Pack Original Rise Lace Thongs
Nordstrom
Hanky Panky’s mid-rise thongs have been a staple in women’s undie drawers for years. Why? They’re so soft, stretch in all the right places, hit at a flattering height, and don’t cause any uncomfortable wedgies. And if you’re looking for something a little kinkier, this pair has an open gusset.
Winky Lux Cheeky Rose Blush
Winky Lux
Melded into an adorable rose design, Winky Lux’s cream blushes are formulated with Vitamin E and other enriching ingredients. Just dab a few fingertips on the apples of your cheeks for a just-back-from-vacation glow.
Nashelle 14K-Gold Fill Initial Mini Heart Pendant Necklace
Nordstrom
Personalized jewelry is always a treasured gift. This 14K gold-filled initial necklace will be easy to layer with other go-to necklaces and it won’t turn green if you forget to take it off when you shower.
Brumate Wine Without Limits Gift Set
Brümate
Brumate’s Winesulator set will keep your favorite full bottle of red or white at the perfect temperature for over 24 hours. The wine travel kit comes with one Winesulator and two 14 oz. Uncork’d insulated XL wine tumblers. It’s a thoughtful gift for those who picnic often — or just don’t do well with glass.
Cuyana Travel Jewelry Case
Cuyana
2023 is hopefully going to be the year we make up for lost time when it comes to traveling. Cuyana’s on-the-go jewelry case is perfect for those who believe no outfit is complete without a few accessories. This sleek case features various compartments and pouches for bracelets, rings, earrings, and necklaces so nothing will be crushed once you arrive at your destination.
Bombas 6-Pack of Ankle Socks
Bombas
Bombas socks are not only soft and well-padded, they’re intentionally constructed to prevent blisters with a comfort support system. The brand also supports those in need by donating one pair for every pair purchased, so you can feel good about gifting these.
Olympia Provisions Salami Bouquet
Food52
Yes, Valentine’s Day is unofficially a “flowers” holiday. But if they’re not into flowers and more into food (we can relate), gift them a bouquet filled with gourmet salami.
Magnolia Bakery World-Famous Banana Pudding Variety Multipack
Magnolia Bakery
For the ones with a sweet tooth, this set of six delicious Magnolia banana pudding packs will deliver (right to their doorstep). With flavors like red velvet banana pudding and chocolate hazelnut pudding, your loved one won’t have to reach far to satisfy a craving.
Petite Pink Orchid
The Sill
Flowers are an impressive gift, but they don’t usually last very long. That is, unless you gift a gorgeous Orchid, like this one from The Sill. Orchids require minimal maintenance (you only need to water them every one to two weeks) and they’ll continuously bloom if you take good care of them.
Staub Mini Round Cocotte
Sur La Table
We all want to make a stew, soups, casseroles, and cobblers for the cold winter months. This mini round cocotte from Sur La Table cooks the perfect proportions. Whether you’re making an individual serving for a quick meal or a dinner for two, the enameled cast-iron pot retains and distributes heat for flavorful, fast meals. Best of all? It won’t rust or chip, and it’s dishwasher safe.
Baxter of California Beard Grooming Oil for Men
Amazon
Many men have experimented with their facial hair during the pandemic, for better or worse. Regardless, give him (and you) the gift of a nourished, softer beard or mustache with premium beard oil.
Slip Countoured Silk Mask
Anthropologie
Fact: We all need more sleep. This face mask will help with that. Crafted from long-strand mulberry silk both inside and out, the silk sleep mask protects delicate skin from the tugging effects of tossing and turning. Slip is known for their chic masks, and this one is designed with eyelashes and eyelash extensions in mind.
Leeway Home Set of Four Coupe Glasses
Leeway Home
Cocktails, anyone? This set of four hand blown glasses by Leeway Home are a glam addition to any bar cart. While you’re at it, pair this gift with a fun cocktail recipe book like this one.
