Who’s the worst person you have to shop for this holiday season? For me, it’s my dad. The man has everything, wants for nothing and can afford to buy himself anything that strikes his fancy. That doesn’t absolve me of my daughterly gift-giving duties, though. It just means, even now, I’ve already spent weeks (months?) agonizing over what it’s going to be. And, guess what? I still don’t know.
I suspect there’s something like my dad on your list, too. (If you have any gift ideas, I’m all ears!) The friend on top of all the latest things, the significant other who “doesn’t need anything,” the family member who always has the best gift for you in exchange for your lackluster effort. But, lackluster no more! This list is all about great Cyber Monday deals for the person who has everything. From the grain cooker to the bee scarf (and everything in between), consider your toughest nut cracked.
Bite The Bullet
Do you remember the saying, “A place for everything and everything in its place?” This isn’t so much about being organized but having a “place for everything.” The EveryGrain Cooker from Nutribullet is designed to handle things like rice, oats, quinoa and other grains. It can also handle veggies, fish and more with a built-in steam function. Reviewers love it, which seems to be the trend with Nutribullet products.
One In The Oven
Sometime after the pandemic started and I had time to think about my life choices, I decided to move entirely to cooking with cast iron. I don’t use it every time but it’s darn close. This Lodge cast iron enameled Dutch oven is a great addition to your cast iron collection, with cooking capabilities on both the stovetop and in the oven.
Put It On My Charge
Phone chargers are a dime a dozen but few are as chic and attractive as this Belgian linen wireless charging pad. Minimalists, you’re going to love this one since it requires just one cable for power and delivers a stylish square of wireless “juice” once you place your phone on it. These come in both leather and linen finishes, making them an ideal gift for someone on your list (or for you).
Answer The Call
Isn’t it funny how we use our phones for everything but calls and buy gadgets like this Meta Portal to talk to our friends and family? This little guy does much more than that, though. You can listen to music, watch the news, get the weather and more from this gadget that’s a lot more like a virtual assistant than just a video phone.
Swan Song
I’ve seen these liquid weather stations in a lot of forms but none classier than this swan, which will look great perched anywhere from your desk at work to your kitchen sink at home. Storm glass can transform into multiple states, alerting you to weather changes like snow, rain, storms and more. This also comes in the shape of an apple (teacher gift, anyone?).
I Wet My Plants
Do you see this darling tropical palm plant that’s very much alive? I promise you, it would die as soon as I add it to my cart because, while I have two thumbs, neither is green. This cold hardy, tropical palm can handle temperature drops down to 20 degrees and is (allegedly) easy to care for. (Clearly, this plant has never met me.)
Hot Sauce In Your Bag
Beyoncé has hot sauce in her bag (swag) but I’m guessing she doesn’t make and bottle her own. This hot sauce-making kit has everything you need to whip up your own soul-scorching recipes with four types of peppers and enough ingredients to be creative. Create your favorites and customize your heat levels from “so mild it shouldn’t be called hot sauce” to “the depths of Hades itself.”
Mental Health Is Health
I’m not going to get all new age-y on you here but meditation tools can really be beneficial for things like stress and anxiety. This Core meditation trainer pairs with a dedicated smartphone app to deliver soft vibrations and lights that help guide your breathing. Do a better job focusing with this system that recommends sessions to match your interests. I feel calmer just writing about it.
Let’s Go On An Adventure
If your motto lately has been “more adventure, fewer things,” this retro-style travel scrapbook has more than enough room to document your journeys. A three-dimensional cover begins the book, which has 146 pages inside awaiting your photos and memories. It comes in a gift box with bookmark cards and stickers and is a perfect size for tossing in a backpack while traveling.
Brew Something Up
There are cold brew lovers and there are cold brew aficionados and this nitro cold brew coffee maker is definitely for the latter. Get the classic look and feel of a stout-dispensing system that fits right in your refrigerator and also makes a handsome addition to your coffee bar. For a sweeter, cold foam taste, add a nitrous oxide cartridge to your system.
The Bee’s Knees
I struggle with stocking stuffer ideas but this essential Burt’s Bees kit is a genius addition. This set costs less than $20 and includes cleansing cream, hand salve, body lotion, foot cream and lip balm. Nourish skin throughout the winter to keep you and your loved ones glowing on the inside and out. Burt’s Bees products are made from all-natural ingredients so you can feel good while looking good.
Cut It Out
Please tell me you’re not dicing vegetables on the same cutting board you used to cut up raw chicken. (If you are, stop right now.) This bamboo cutting board set has a secret pocket for storing the six included color-coded mats with a sturdier wooden board (with juice grooves!) for slicing meats. These mats aren’t flimsy at all like similar products.
Desk Jockey
Lap desks are great for pop-up projects like using your laptop on the couch or eating breakfast in bed. (You didn’t think I meant real “projects,” did you?) This bamboo version can support a laptop with an extra pocket that’s perfect as a phone holder, pen holder or cup holder. A pop-up top and a cup holder are added conveniences.
Warm Regards
I don’t care who you’re buying for, this mug and warmer set is guaranteed to be a hit. Complete with a lid and warming coaster, it has an adjustable temperature control and comes in this delicate robin’s egg blue. They’ll enjoy perfectly heated coffee, lattes or hot chocolate right at their desk instead of drinking tepid coffee that cooled hours ago.
In The Mix
The would-be mixologist in your life will get a bang out of this 10-piece bartender kit that has everything they need to craft their favorite cocktails. They’ll get a jigger, muddler, corkscrew, strainer and more, all housed in a stylish bamboo stand. Choose from gold, silver and copper finishes. One reviewer said, “This is a must-have product to add to your bar or as a gift for others.”
Blanket Statement
Nothing says, “I had no idea what to buy you,” like giving a blanket but they won’t even be mad if you’re gifting this fluffy faux fur throw blanket. Plush and shaggy, this blanket comes in four colors and four sizes including versions sized to fit your bed. The skin-friendly velvet fleece on the opposite side is great for snuggling up underneath this winter.
Fired Up
This portable campfire is giving caveman vibes but its functionality is remarkable. Giving off flames and heat for up to five hours, this campfire is portable so you can take it camping, on picnics and more. Featured on “Shark Tank,” this is a great gift idea for the adventurer or outdoor enthusiast in your life. Giving the gift of fire? So cool.
Grows On Trees
In my opinion (not that you asked for it), this bonsai tree kit that lets you grow and prune your own bonsai trees is a great solution for relaxation and mindfulness. It comes with four seed varieties as well as everything you need to get started including pots, soil, plant markers and nutrition packs. A digital care guide will help them get started.
Sweater Weather
Unless your gift recipient lives at the beach, you can never go wrong with a sweater (and even if they do live at the beach, those locales can still have a cool day or two). This half-zip pullover features soft organic cotton and a cozy mock neck that’ll be just right when the temperature dips. Choose from seven color options and one striped version.
Coffee Talk
Imagine how much money you’ll save someone on your list with this deluxe cold brew maker they can use to brew (and store) up to two quarts of liquid gold. Skinny enough to fit in a refrigerator door, this comes with an airtight lid and a non-slip silicone handle. Cold brew coffee is less acidic than traditional coffee and, honestly, makes me a lot happier than it probably should.
So Fresh And So Clean
Are you at a loss for what to buy your eco-friendly friends and family members? This starter bundle kit is great for both novice and expert “green” buyers with things like wool dryer balls, compostable dishcloths, silicone food storage and cleaning solution. A 12-piece set costs less than $20 so it’s an affordable (as well as environmentally-friendly) gift idea any time of year.
Give Bees A Chance
Bees are all the buzz, aren’t they? There are even TV shows dedicated to the tiny winged creatures. This super-soft reversible scarf puts them on full display, making a whimsical addition to anyone’s wardrobe. These types of scarves are great because they’re large enough to double as a wrap, shawl or blanket whether they’re going to a sporting event or boarding a plane.
