I’m a loyal customer to UrbanStems and whether I’m receiving or giving one, their bouquets never disappoint. I was so excited when I found out the brand teamed up with “Bridgerton” to release a collection inspired by everyone’s favorite show. — Lindsey Smith, associate editor

My partner and I are both dipping our toes into film photography, so this cute keychain is a nod to our hobby. We actually decided we’d make one for each other, so we both get to pick our favorite photos. And luckily, no film skills are needed to create one — you can customize it directly through Amazon and use any images, even ones taken on your phone. — Sophie Shaw, associate beauty editor

Whenever I see my partner wearing these Mejuri earrings — which is quite often — I feel like I did a good job gifting. This pair is delicate, versatile enough to pair with basically any outfit and, best of all, under $60. Definitely a Valentine’s win in my book. — Kai Burkhardt, associate editor

If you’re looking for a gift that will last long after Valentine’s Day, I’d recommend the game Where Should We Begin: A Game of Stories. Created by bestselling author and couples therapist Esther Perel, the game features questions — both fun and serious — to learn more about your S.O. My partner and I have such a blast playing and are constantly finding out new things about each other. — Lindsey Smith, associate editor

A lot of heart-themed gifts feel cheesy and clichéd, but this T-shirt is an exception. The Comme des Garçons heart motif is loved by many fashion aficionados and has been spotted on celebrities like Justin Timberlake, Diane Kruger, Alexa Chung and plenty more. I wear mine all the time because it’s truly a great basic tee (just beware the sizing runs small — I recommend going up a size, or even two if you prefer a roomier fit). Plus, it acts as a little reminder of V-Day without being obvious. — Sophie Shaw, associate beauty editor

Valentine’s Day may be for lovers, but in Brooklyn, winter is in full force. Which is why this Arc’teryx Patera Parka is the best V-Day gift a NYC gal can get. Not only is it long enough to cover all my essentials (read: ass), but this sleek coat is bathed in goose down and covered in Gore-Tex, so I can stay warm and bone dry on my long city walks and upstate weekend jaunts. But best of all? I get to show off my fashion-forward Arc’teryx gear, and get props from all my teen son’s friends as the coolest mom of them all. Now, that’s love. — Tobey Grumet, reviews editor

I’ve tried a few body oils and this one is my favorite. It glides on so easily, it’s not sticky at all and it smells amazing. I use it after a shower and it keeps my skin from feeling dry in the winter. Plus, the smell lasts all day! — Hannah Lauson, TikTok strategist

It’s no secret that candles are my favorite things in the world and bring me so much joy. After a co-worker gushed about Otherland candles, I took the plunge and ordered an early Valentine’s Day gift for myself. The brand’s Boudoir Rouge scent (my new favorite) makes a perfect Valentine’s gift because of its gorgeous color and the scent — Vintage Lipstick, Amarena Cherry and Glace Violet — goes perfectly with the romantic holiday. — Lindsey Smith, associate editor

My fiancé loves Crocs! I hate them; yes, I said HATE! He loves them because, as a teacher, he can teach comfortably on his feet all day, and because his students think he’s really cool for wearing them. I won’t allow the Crocs in our home, but I will encourage his comfort and happiness at work, which is why I am going to buy him bright red Crocs for Valentine’s Day, and be sure to include some of the Valentine’s Day charms his students think are so great. As long as those Crocs don’t wind up in our house at the end of the school day we’ll be a happily engaged couple this Valentine’s Day season. — Katelyn Gendron, senior SEO manager

One of the best things about Valentine’s Day is flowers. Bliss and Mischief’s organic cotton Baby Rose duvet cover is equally as sweet and romantic as real roses but will last for years to come. I’m not so subtly leaving hints for my partner about grabbing this for me from The Six Bells this Valentine’s Day. — Lindsey Smith, associate editor

When your teen son asks you for cologne for Valentine’s Day, how do you choose? Very carefully. Yes, I stole away and did a smelling session from all the big names, but in the end, this Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue men’s cologne was the perfect combination of designer name brand, light fragrance and midrange price. And a nice way to introduce him to a scent that does not include locker room, socks or his dirty laundry. — Tobey Grumet, reviews editor

I love this hair mask because it can be used in multiple different ways. I usually apply it on damp hair after a shower, but it can also be applied to dry hair and used as an overnight mask. I really want to try the Gisou hair oil next! — Hannah Lauson, TikTok strategist

I love spoiling my closest friends for Valentine’s Day. This year, I’m going the beauty route and gifting them Twenty/Twenty Beauty’s Visionary Eye Shadow Sticks. These are a staple in my beauty routine because they’re safe for contact wearers and the color payoff is amazing. — Lindsey Smith, associate editor

My partner and I are obsessed with our dog, so sometimes we’ll skip presents for each other and buy gifts for her instead. This patterned sweater is one of our favorites and the perfect way to celebrate Valentine’s Day. — Kai Burkhardt, associate editor

I’m a huge fan of everything Snif releases. If you want to go the more traditional route and surprise your valentine with perfume, these products are for you. The brand just released new mini versions of the incredible scents, and they make the perfect gift — I grabbed my favorite scent to gift myself this Valentine’s Day. The best part is, if you’re unsure which scent to buy, the brand also offers a trio of bestsellers. If you want to grab just one, you can always take advantage of Snif’s “try at home” feature so your loved one can test the scent before you buy. — Lindsey Smith, associate editor

We got this adorable heart succulent for my mom, but it’d make such a great Valentine’s Day gift for anyone! The heart shape is so cute, and it’s much cooler than the standard red roses — plus, it lasts longer than flowers (or chocolate, in my house)! — Hayley Saltzman, former head of social media

If you want a gift that wows, Venus et Fleur eternity roses will leave your special someone absolutely speechless. These roses are so bright and fragrant, they’ll last a year or more and they’re a great luxury option for spoiling your sweetheart. I love the brand’s Fleur Tic Tac Toe Set because you not only get eternity flowers but also a fun game you can play whenever. — Lindsey Smith, associate editor

My boyfriend’s birthday is a few days after Valentine’s Day, and three years ago I wanted to gift him something extra thoughtful and personalized in addition to a physical gift, so I decided to go the DIY route. I bought a 200-page photo album from Amazon and printed out a BUNCH of photos of the two of us and wrote cute little notes throughout! He still refers to it as the “best gift I’ve ever given him,” and he keeps it on his desk to this day! — Stephanie Griffin, social lead

If your partner loves all things cute, this dumpling-shaped light is the perfect little Valentine’s Day gift. Pair it with flowers or a box of chocolates to have the most adorable Valentine’s ever. — Kai Burkhardt, associate editor

Look, I know this one leans a little toward the cheesy side, but sue me: I’m a sentimental type of person. This journal is intended to spur discussions with your partner, of things both frivolous and more profound, as it presents a prompt for every day of the year that each of you fill out with a quick response — from questions like “What feels vitally important right now?” to “If you didn’t have any responsibilities for the day, what would you do?” It’s also a fun way, I’d imagine, for long-distance couples to stay connected. — Emmy Favilla, former deputy editor

Last year, I had my eyes set on the Mejuri Croissant Dôme Ring that I had been seeing ALL over Instagram, naturally. And after dropping (not so subtle) hints to him a few weeks leading up to Valentine’s Day, he gifted me just that! The ring has become a staple in my jewelry collection and is a great, affordable option for anyone who loves “gold” rings! — Stephanie Griffin, social lead

I’m a strong believer in gifting myself for any reason no matter the season! So a perfect gift to myself or any plant and flower lovers this Valentine’s Day would be a flower subscription from Bouqs (or a plant subscription from Grounded) because the perfect act of love for me is to have my apartment look and smell like a garden year-round. — Natasha Hatendi, photo editor

A handmade scrapbook is always a heartwarming gift so you and your partner can reminisce on all the memories you made together. My partner got me one a few years ago filled with cute pictures and love letters, and I may or may not have shed a tear or 20. — Kai Burkhardt, associate editor

I have probably asked for Catbird jewelry for the past five birthdays, Valentine’s Days, holidays and anniversaries, but it’s just that good. My husband got me this threadbare ring a few Valentine’s Days ago, and I wear it every single day. It’s super delicate and simple — perfect for everyday wear — and it’s so simple that you’ll never get sick of it. — Hayley Saltzman, former head of social media

One of my favorite gifts I’ve received is this name necklace from Etsy. I love my middle name and had been wanting something to carry with me to honor it in a way. Name plate necklaces are also super in, so this was a great and thoughtful surprise! — Kiana Murden, former associate lifestyle editor

If you’re looking for a practical Valentine’s Day gift your partner will love, you can’t go wrong with these Brooklyn-made leather Greats sneakers. According to its website, Greats shoes are “made by top-rated factories that meet the highest standards of labor and environmental practices,” so it’s also a gift you can really feel good about giving. I asked my husband to share the BEST Valentine’s Day gift I’ve ever given him, and even though we’ve been together for 15 Valentine’s Days and 15 gifts, he quickly chose these sneakers as his favorite of all the gifts. They’re stylish and classic enough to fit a range of personal tastes and styles, and they’re also super comfortable. I have them in one color, and my husband liked the white ones I gave him for Valentine’s Day so much that he bought them in black to wear at our wedding! — Hayley Saltzman, former head of social media

Dazzle the Capricorn who loves to show off their cooking skills with a slick-looking gourmet pizza oven. We tried the Ooni Karu 16 for ourselves and found it to be an extremely simple and delicious way to cook up a pizza.

Capricorn is an Earth sign, and we love Planted, a board game in which players compete to grow the best collection of houseplants, for the competitive Capricorn with a green thumb.

Beloved for its luxe apothecary-inspired bottles and creative scents, Maison Margiela’s By the Fireplace is a wintertime favorite, making it a perfect Capricorn birthday present. The scent is warm and spicy, combining orange flowers with clove oil, chestnut accord and vanilla, evoking the coziness and comfort of sitting in front of a fireplace as the show falls outside.

We’re obsessed with this take on zodiac jewelry that incorporates gemstones and crystals into the design based on the recipient’s specific birthday. The backside of the pendant can also be customized with their birthday, initials and zodiac glyph.

Lost luggage and other personal items are a thing of the past! The Apple AirTag is the perfect gift for the on-the-go Capricorn, who will love its simplicity and functionality. Read our review of it here.

Looking for a luxurious travel gift? This four-piece set is everything you need to forget you’re on the road. It includes a silk travel pillowcase, eye mask, cashmere throw and deluxe cashmere socks. You can even have it monogrammed!

Robinson suggests giving the Capricorn in your life “a fun, competitive trivia game so they can show off their knowledge and creativity at get-togethers.” Wit’s End gets high marks for being even more challenging than Trivial Pursuit!

A small tape measure is one of those items that is absurdly handy, and a pretty one, like this Liberty print, is a great small gift idea. Toss it in a bag or a junk drawer and marvel at how many times you reach for it!

Capricorns will appreciate high-end, well-made gifts from established brands. Robinson suggests a designer gift, “like a nice bag or sunglasses, so they can radiate opulence wherever they go.”

The industrious Capricorn is likely to be a coffee enthusiast — they need something to fuel all those late-night brainstorming sessions and early-morning workouts, after all! The Kalita Wave was our pick for best pour-over coffee maker in 2022, making it a great gift for the java perfectionist.

A milk frother is a simple tool that elevates a cup of morning coffee to a work of art. We love Clevr’s frother for being super easy to clean, store and charge.

“Often perceived as stoic and maybe even standoffish,” Robinson says, “some would be surprised that a lot of Capricorns are actually pretty hilarious and brilliantly dry-witted.” The task-oriented Capricorn is more likely to use a journal for their extensive to-do lists than for writing about their feelings, but regardless of how the sea goat chooses to use a notebook, the Capricorn in your life will love this hilariously dark Grievance Journal.

In our review of coffee subscription services, Blue Bottle was the clear choice for java enthusiasts. It got high marks for customizability, variety and outstanding taste, beating out every other coffee subscription we tested. If you want to give a gift that doesn’t keep on giving quite so much, we also love the $40 Blend Box, which features Blue Bottle’s three most popular blends presented in a gift box.

Active, competitive Capricorns will love a new workout set to ring in their new year. Skip overly flashy styles for something sleek and understated, like Terez’s black-on-black foil star leggings.

Christian Louboutin nail varnish is dramatic and glamorous, and at $50, it’ a great gift that feels like a splurge (it is) without breaking the bank. You can’t go wrong with any color, but for Capricorn we especially love Kohl, the most dramatic black shade imaginable.

“Keep in mind that Capricorns approach life logically and strategically, and may need the occasional reminder to stop and smell the flowers, or at least to not check their email,” Robinson says. Bring the flowers to them with this pretty floral weekly planner.

Good sheets are a gift that falls in that sweet spot of indulgent and practical, which will appeal to a Capricorn. Sijo Home’s eucalyptus sheets are available in seven colors that include neutrals like white and beige, as well as muted color choices like pale pink, ice blue and forest green. You can also choose whether you want to include a top sheet in the bundle. They’re an Underscored editor favorite.

This half moon signet necklace, set with a single baguette diamond, is a sly nod to the zodiac without hitting the no-nonsense Capricorn over the head with the more woo-woo aspects of astrology. The moon can be engraved with up to three letters or numbers to personalize it.

Massage guns are popular tools for post-workout recovery, making them a great gift for the runner, powerlifter or Pilates devotee in your life. While many massage guns can be bulky, loud and quite expensive, the Theragun Mini gets high marks for being quiet, small and comfortable to use. See our review of Theraguns here.

Electronic cutters are souped-up crafting machines that can turn out professional-grade stickers, vinyl decals, party decorations, scrapbooking elements and custom stationery. Capricorns with a crafty bent will flip for this die-cut machine, which they’re sure to use to set up an Etsy side hustle. Read our Cricut review here.

Capricorn is one of the Earth signs, making an indoor LED grow light garden a perfect gift for these practical friends. The easy-to-use gardening system comes with a gourmet seed kit featuring six herbs — Genovese basil, curly parsley, dill, thyme, Thai basil and mint.

The work-hard-play-hard Capricorn in your life will thank you over and over for giving them a gift of this ice roller. It can be used to cool down on a hot day, reduce stress and soothe a hangover, making it an incredible multi-use tool for self-care. It’s an Underscored editor favorite.

Candles can be tricky gifts to give because scents are such a personal choice, but the Diptyque Baies candle is such a classic that you virtually cannot go wrong with it. The Capricorn, that master of good taste, will appreciate getting this gorgeous berry-scented candle.

The Emart ring light is our pick for the best ring light. It comes with a fully adjustable tripod, giving users a lot of flexibility, and it has three light modes, along with 11 brightness levels. Just think of how great they’ll look in their daily Zooms.

Weighted bangles are one of the hottest new fitness accessories on the market, which the status-conscious Capricorn will appreciate — the sea goat loves to have the newest toy! The 1-pound weights can be worn on the wrists or ankles, and come in six colors including pink, green and slate.

After a long day of running the world, even the super-practical Capricorn likes to enjoy a nice bath. This gorgeous bottle of bubble bath from Lollia is a display piece that will look beautiful in their bathroom.

Capricorns are competitive and adventurous, and this coffee table book will help to focus their adventurous spirit — and help them catalogue all their travels for bragging rights.

If any sign is likely to be a dedicated hand-washer, it’s Capricorn (Virgo, you too). When it comes to giving a highly practical gift like hand soap, the key to nailing it is to elevate the experience — we can’t think of many people who would object to being given this gorgeously scented hand soap and lotion combo.

Gaming Capricorns will love new gear, like this lightweight gaming headset. The headset is compatible with PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S, and was one of our picks for best gaming headset.

Our favorite budget earbuds sound better than basic AirPods and cost a fraction of the price. They’re a great gift for anyone who has yet to discover the joy of cutting the cord.

If you’re looking to really change someone’s life with a gift this holiday season, this kitchen gadget might be our top pick.

What makes it special is its intuitive touchscreen display, which enables you to whip up lattes, cappuccinos and a whole suite of café drinks with the press of a button. You can even adjust and personalize elements like coffee strength, temperature of the drink and the texture of the milk, making it perfect for coffee beginners and at-home barista types alike.

For the stylish, wine-loving friend or family member, these trendy wine glasses are the perfect gift. They’re gorgeous to display, hand-blown in Poland and attached to a cute story. Named after the founder’s grandmother, who “instilled in her a love of treasure hunting for beautiful finds,” the vintage-inspired tint has a charm that’s just irresistible. Plus, the wide assortment of colors makes it a breeze to match your choice to the recipient’s kitchen scheme and overall color preference.

Once you go high-quality bedding, there’s really no going back. Give the gift of better rest with some of the most comfortable, breathable, luxurious bedding we’ve ever experienced. We named these the best linen sheets, in fact. These linen sheets are available in six different sizes, 11 gorgeous colors to fit any style and an optional top sheet.

For the person in need of a new kitchen set, our recommendation is Caraway. The brand’s ceramic-coated cookware is non-toxic, nonstick, easy to clean, versatile and great at conducting heat. This set has everything they’ll need in the kitchen, along with super-chic magnetic pan racks and a canvas lid holder that makes organization easy and aesthetically pleasing.

No matter how you feel about vacuuming, a cordless Dyson vacuum makes it 100 times more enjoyable. And while a vacuum could be interpreted as a controversial gift, this one’s just so good that we couldn’t leave it out. (A few Underscored editors have it and love it too.) All of Dyson’s cordless vacuums are incredibly lightweight, easy to use and great at picking up dust and dirt. The V12 features a laser that reveals microscopic dust, optimizes its own suction power and run time and is built with the latest hair-detangling technology.

Sometimes, giving a candle as a gift can sort of be seen as a cop-out. We can guarantee that if you give a Nest candle — and this option in particular — nobody will be thinking that at all. In fact, they’ll probably be hoping you got them the same thing. These burn beautifully, the scents are always rich without being overpowering and they’re perfectly balanced for any room of your home. This bestselling fragrance is everything you could want for the holidays. It’s woody, with notes of musk and amber — in simpler terms, a forest at Christmastime.

Juicers are undeniably one of the more luxurious kitchen tools to have, but for the person who can’t resist fresh fruit and vegetable juices (and spends a lot of money on them), a high-quality juicer can easily pay for itself. And this is the best juicer we’ve ever tested. It’s compact enough and doesn’t take up too much counter space, while still packing a ton of power. The slow-squeeze technology mimics the motion of hand-squeezing juice, leaving you with deliciously fresh and pure juice, extremely dry pulp and limited waste.

We’re big fans of Bearaby’s internet-famous, perfectly chunky weighted blankets. Not only are they adorable to look at, they’re also great for getting better rest and just feeling calmer on those more stressful days. This velvet option, just like all of the brand’s weighted blankets, gets its weight from the fabric itself as opposed to glass or plastic beads. The material is sustainable and made from recycled marine plastic — though you’d never guess it from how soft and comfortable the velvet feels.

Yes, we’ve discovered a luxury kettle that we’re absolutely obsessed with. This super-chic kitchen gadget will garner all the compliments (speaking from experience) and makes for the perfect gift for anyone who can’t live without their tea or coffee. The variable control makes it easy to get precise with the temperature of your water, while features like a built-in timer make it a breeze to time your extraction. And that’s not even mentioning the precision-pour spout, which will seriously make you feel like an expert barista.

Outdoor furniture doesn’t come cheap. But if you really want to treat someone special this holiday season, we’d recommend a piece from Outer. The outdoor furniture brand specializes in well-designed, durable and comfortable pieces that are easier on the environment. The Wicker Outdoor Sofa is especially gorgeous and incredibly comfortable, plus it’s easy to put together and clean regularly.

For rowing beginners or pros, it doesn’t get much cooler than the Hydrow Wave Rower. Much more compact than other at-home rowers (it even folds up vertically), it offers a Peloton-like service where users can row alongside virtual trainers as they pull their way through various rivers and lakes across the world — from the River Thames to streams in Alaska. One of our editors has tried it for the past few weeks and has absolutely fallen in love. It’s available in a few lovely color options as well.

This adorable cookware set isn’t just any old cookware set — it features Le Creuset’s iconic round Dutch oven, which won out as our best “splurge” Dutch oven. With perfect heat distribution, easy handling and high performance and durability, it’s a kitchen essential you can hand down to your children. Also included in the set are the brand’s Signature Saucepan and Signature Iron Handle Skillet. While having one of these items is a great way to add some fun color to your kitchen setup, the set is even more impactful.

If someone in your life is short on kitchen space, or just wants to downsize, the Brava Oven is one of the most impressive kitchen gadgets we’ve come across. It replaces a conventional oven, a microwave oven, air fryer, toaster and even more. The digital display is home to over 7,000 customizable cooking programs that are already downloaded onto your mini oven. You simply have to select what you want to make, put in the ingredients and the oven’s technology ensures it’s perfectly cooked, everytime. While the end result isn’t revolutionary, the time and stress it can save you certainly is.

We concede that $450 seems like an extreme amount of money to spend on a blender, but the Vitamix Venturist V1200 (which we named the best luxury blender on the market), with its whopping 10-year warranty and plethora of functional, durable and just plain cool features, simply rose to the top in every test performed.

For anyone who loves their backyard entertaining, Solo Stove makes some of the coolest fire pits we’ve ever seen. Especially for any smoke-averse people, the brand’s signature airflow design results in way less smoke and an efficient burn that creates super-fine ash that’s easy to clean. The burn is totally mesmerizing, and overall it’s a perfect gift for fire pit newbies and pros alike.

Whether it’s a sunny summer backyard party or a chilly fall family reunion, pizza is always the perfect addition. And with this gas-powered pizza oven from Ooni, making incredibly delicious fresh pizza has never been easier. It’s the perfect big-ticket item to give anyone who loves to host and has the outdoor space to do so. They don’t even have to be a skilled cook — Ooni ovens are so intuitive, anyone can create culinary masterpieces in no time. Check out our review of it here.

For anyone who loves their Apple products, the brand’s AirPods Max are undeniably pricey — but they’re also a joy to use and experience. Their design is modern and unique, while the sound quality is stellar. The tech inside the headphones is super impressive as well. From Adaptive EQ that adjusts audio frequencies in real time to unmatched active noise cancellation and a 20-hour battery, there’s no denying that these sleek headphones would make for an incredible gift.

Frequent gymgoers, generally active people and honestly just about anyone knows that there’s nothing like a massage after a long day or a tough week. Therabody’s line of Theraguns is by and far the best massage guns on the market, and they’re trusted by the pros as well — Cristiano Ronaldo and Maria Sharapova just to name a few. The Theragun Pro delivers a deep muscle treatment that helps aid in your recovery, release tension and soothe discomfort. It comes with six different attachments that will target different areas of your body and different needs, plus two external batteries, and the arm rotates into four different positions so you can relax your body without straining it.

As our reviewer put it: “I can say unequivocally that the Sonos Sub Mini improves the sound of every Sonos speaker you pair it with.” And that alone has won us over. For anyone looking to improve their sound system, whether they enjoy playing music or watching “House of the Dragon,” the Sub Mini is compact and packs a punch.

The Catch:3 is a quintessential holiday gift: something you’re unlikely to buy for yourself, but that you cherish and use everyday after receiving it. While the price may seem high for a wireless charger and organizer tray, the marriage of the two is so much greater than the sum of its parts. It’s a gorgeous, high-quality piece of decor that ties together an entryway, bedside table or at-home office space. It helps keep my essentials organized and ensure that both my phone and AirPods are always charged.

Imagine your Keurig, but instead of coffee, out comes margaritas, cosmos and, well, espresso martinis. A perfect gift option for anyone who loves a good drink but isn’t interested in the mixology of it, this cocktail machine is a whole lot of adult-only fun, because there’s nothing wrong with wanting your boozy beverages to be a little easier to make at home. Simply insert a cocktail capsule, select your preferred strength and the machine does the rest. All you need to have on hand is the liquor of your choice.

Smartwatches are a beloved piece of tech for many people, and for many different reasons — from health monitoring to fitness tracking and just staying connected without your phone. But one thing’s for sure, they make really great gifts. This option has been called by one of our writers as “a better version of what’s long been the best smartwatch,” so you can be sure it’s worth the investment. Some of its features include crash detection, temperature sensing, blood oxygen levels, sleep and fitness tracking and a lot more.

Definitely a splurge-but-worth-it gift pick. We fell in love with this portable, easy-to-use projector in our Samsung Freestyle review. Not only is it an excellent projector that can project up to a 100-inch screen, it can also be a speaker, a light or a groovy star show projector.

For the doting cat parents in your life, this innovative, high-tech litter robot is an incredibly impressive piece of technology that makes scooping poop a chore of the past. It’s a fully automatic, self-cleaning litter box that’s also WiFi-enabled. Through the accompanying app, you can track how often your cat or cats go, and you get a read of their weight, every time they step into the box — which is one of the best ways to keep track of their health. There’s no smell, it’s really quiet and it’s a hassle-free way to ensure that your cat’s box is always clean.

Fitness is frequently top of mind come the new year, but heading to the gym isn’t always everyone’s first choice. If you’re interested in an at-home option for diverse and effective workouts, the Tempo Move might be right for you. This unique home gym setup, which includes a cabinet of smart weights, guides you through workouts, gives you personal feedback on your form, pushes you and tells you when you’re ready for harder workouts and tracks your performance to tailor future training plans. One of the best parts is how compact the entire setup is, so you don’t have to worry about setting up something that will take over an entire room.

For any minimalists, this wallet is a total game changer when it comes to downsizing their everyday essentials.

A dome ring is one of our favorite pieces of statement jewelry. Not only are they a great way to show off your style, they’re super comfortable and easy to wear. This option from Kinn, one of our favorite jewelry brands, adds a diamond to their fan-favorite Dome Ring I. if you prefer a different precious stone, you also have the option of swapping out the diamond for an emerald, blue sapphire or yellow sapphire.

Lunya’s washable silk is total luxury — without the high maintenance. You can simply machine wash on cold and not have to worry about ruining or damaging the material in any way. While any of the brand’s products would make for an incredible gift, this robe is a true editor favorite. It’s perfect for those slightly chillier mornings and evenings, and structured enough that you can wear it around the horse without feeling too exposed.

The perfect do-it-all bag, this tote works for weekend getaways, international vacations or taking you from the office to the gym.

In addition to being extremely lightweight and comfortable to carry, the material is super easy to clean and pack away. Plus, the black lacquer is a perfect stylish step up from your everyday basic black bag, while just as versatile.

Watches are a classic gift option, and it’s hard to go wrong with this, forgive our pun, timeless option. This option from Shinola was built and engineered with longevity and quality top of mind. The high-accuracy quartz movement was hand-assembled in Detroit with Swiss and imported parts, and is made up of 43 components. The case is made from sapphire crystal and features a classic pumpkin crown, and the sophisticated leather strap only looks better over time.

These boots from Koio are one of those gifts that will most likely last a person the rest of their life. The brand’s boots are unbelievably high-quality, durable and comfortable, and this option is no exception. The design is classic yet stylish, and the timeless style makes them a breeze to pair with all types of outfits, ranging from totally casual to more polished.

Croissant-style or twisted hoops are all the rage right now, which isn’t surprising considering how effortless yet elegant the style is. This option from Mejuri adds that extra level of luxury by intertwining 14-karat solid gold with ethically sourced pavé diamonds.

For the fashionista who has it all (and potentially particular taste), this Instagram-famous pajama set is super luxe, totally stylish and just a whole lot of fun. It’s made from a lightweight, silk-crepe-like material and features tonal piping, mother-of-pearl buttons and detachable feather cuffs that are completely extra and elegant at the same time.

Manifest a year of travel and exploration by gifting the globetrotter in your life the only carry-on suitcase they’ll ever need. Away’s Carry-On won our award for the best carry-on luggage of the year thanks to its durability, thoughtful organization, smart features and, of course, its super-chic design.

If there’s ever a situation where you’re using a travel backpack and nothing else, I’d suggest the Monos Metro Backpack every single time.

Despite not looking bulky, the backpack can fit a shocking amount, probably due to the smart design and thoughtful pockets. And of course, it comes with all the airport must-haves: a separate laptop sleeve, trolley sleeve and best of all, an interchangeable front pocket that can easily be detached. It’s perfect for storing essentials and anything else you’ll want by your side on a long trip.

Dyson has been investing in innovation within the beauty space — the brand has announced plans to launch 20 new products in the next four years — and it shows. The latest iteration of the Dyson Airwrap has been re-engineered for more efficiency, easier styling and different hair types. The new barrels curl in both directions, which is a huge improvement from the previous model. And there have also been improvements for controlling shape, while the multi-functional smoothing dryer works to dry your hair, sans any flyaways. All this being said, it’s still the same versatile, multipurpose hair tool that’s always on our beauty vanity, and that the pros love as well.

It helps to detoxify the body, relax the mind, boost your mood, promote glowing skin… The list goes on. It’s a splurge, but I believe it’s worth it!”

We named this pair the best leggings to wear as pants thanks to their non-constricting fabric and ability to pair with virtually anything in our wardrobe. They can throw on an oversized sweater and your pal is ready for a Zoom call or a visit from guests.

Just because the homebody would rather be at their abode than at a bar, that doesn’t mean they’ll be indoors 24/7. For when they want to venture outdoors and enjoy the winter air, they’ll need a blanket to keep them toasty. This bug shield blanket from our favorite outdoor furniture company Outer is a celebrity favorite of Martha Stewart, Beverley Mitchell and Amanda Kloots — and for a good reason. It’s soft, yet repels insects like mosquitoes and ticks. Plus, it’s lightweight and comes in fun patterns too.

Not only is this 100% silk pillowcase that we named the best silk pillowcase extraordinarily soft, but it’s clinically proven to reduce bedhead and improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Choose from a variety of sizes and colors, too.

If the-impossible-to-shop-for-person on your list has a pet, you’re in luck! Buy them something for their pet, or in Fluffy’s honor, like luggage personalized with a photo of their pet. Options range from the Drink Bottle to the Carry On Trunk.

We tested and loved the Dyson pet grooming kit (some of our pets didn’t love it as much!) and we think the attachment suite makes a great gift for the parents of a chill dog.

One way to approach giving a gift to a person who has everything is to get them something that is equal parts clever and useful. Thermacell’s E55 promises to create a 20-foot safe space from pests without DEET or citronella. Our reviewer loved that it’s silent, scent-free and, most importantly, legitimately effective at keeping mosquitoes away.

Another way to approach giving a gift to a person who has everything is to get them something that will truly improve their life — like the gift of better sleep! Mavogel’s cotton mask is lightweight, comfortable and easily our choice for the best sleep mask of 2022.

Another entry in the “clever and useful” category of gifts are the Lost and Found Labels from Tile. Just stick them onto jackets, lunchboxes, water bottles or anything else easily left behind and loseable. Activate the labels with the Tile app, and then if anything is lost, people who have found the item can (hopefully!) scan the QR code and access the return details.

For the fitness lover, a set of ultra trendy Bala Bangles, which our reviewer calls “sleek, unobtrusive and downright pretty,” are a great addition to an at-home workout routine and are small enough to tote along to the gym.

In our review of coffee subscription services, Blue Bottle was the clear choice for java enthusiasts. It got high marks for customizability, variety and outstanding taste, beating out every other coffee subscription we tested. If you want to give a gift that doesn’t keep on giving quite so much, we also love the $40 Blend Box, which features Blue Bottle’s three most popular blends presented in a gift box.

We’re taking our advice to “burn it” literally. The Solo Stove Yukon is one of our favorite fire pits because it burns super clean, barely gives off any smoke and comes in multiple sizes to fit any backyard or adventure. If you’re still on the fence, check out our full review.

When we asked “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” star Lisa Barlow to recommend premade mixers for at-home bartenders, this set of three craft cocktail syrups was her pick. The tequila maven recommends using her own Vida Reposado with the Moscow mule mixer to create a Mexican mule, and Vida Blanco to elevate a spicy margarita.

For the home bartender who’s a bit more advanced, this 90-minute mixology class will help them level up their cocktail game. Experiences, in general, are also a good way to shop for the hard-to-buy-for person; Uncommon Goods offers all kinds of classes, from tarot reading to pet portraiture, one of which is sure to be right for even the pickiest person on your holiday gift list.

These under-eye masks got a “highly recommend!” rating from our social media strategist, Stephanie Griffin, who praised their ability to mask (lol get it??) the telltale signs of a total lack of sleep. The 100% biodegradable eye masks help to reduce under-eye puffiness and the appearance of fine lines, while cooling and hydrating your skin.

Our commerce editor, Chelsea Stone, says of this carryall, “Now that I have this bag from sustainably minded brand United By Blue, I’m not quite sure how I lived without it.” It converts from a tote to a backpack and has pockets galore, including one for a laptop. Buy one for everyone you know.

A bidet attachment on its own is a great “upgrade” gift, but for people who already made the switch to the bidet lifestyle, the newest offering from Tushy takes that upgrade to a whole new level. Take it from our reviewer, who says of the Ace, “There’s no doubt that the Tushy Ace is a huge improvement over the Tushy Classic and the Tushy Spa.” The Ace features endless warm water, a heated seat, remote control, adjustability and dryer and, in the words of our reviewer, “you’ll be wondering how you could ever use anything less.”

We named this pan the best nonstick pan of 2021, thanks to its depth and even cooking performance. The home chef in your life will love its versatility and reliability, plus it won’t set you back hundreds of dollars like other top-notch pans.

Legos aren’t just for little kids anymore. This actually gorgeous bouquet of lego flowers can be an excellent project for your loved one, and truly be flowers that never die. Check out this Lego bonsai tree and orchid kit.

It might seem like a boring gift, but trust us, this smart garage door opener is a real game changer. You’ll never have to worry about accidentally leaving the garage open, since this opener gives you control through an app on your phone. We named it the best smart garage opener of the year.

Our pick for the best water bottle makes a great gift, not only because it can keep water ice cold all day but also because it comes in a wide array or gorgeous colors.

A great practical gift, Swedish dishcloths are one of our favorite eco-friendly kitchen swaps as they take the place of paper towels. You can even throw these guys in the dishwasher or washing machine once they start smelling gross.

Upgrade their shower experience with our pick for the best plush bath towel, the Frontgate Resort Cotton Towel. It’s super thick, it’s super fluffy and it’ll feel like you’re being hugged by a cloud the next time you step out of the shower.

Overall, the Hario Mizudashi Cold Brew Coffee Pot scored highest in our best cold brew maker test. This sleek, sophisticated and streamlined carafe produces 1 liter of rich, robust brew in just eight hours. It was among the simplest to assemble, it executed an exemplary brew in about the shortest time span and it looked snazzy doing it. Plus, it rang up as the second most affordable of our inventory.

Give the coffee lover in your life the gift of single-origin beans from around the world. Atlas Coffee Club will send one box of beans from a different country every month, along with an informational card and brewing instructions. Read our full review here.

For the person who can never get enough spice, this gourmet hot sauce has a complex yet delicious blend of truffle, red chile pepper and agave nectar. It even made Oprah’s Favorite Things list yet again this year. And right now, CNN Underscored readers can get 10% off with code CNN10.

If you know someone who’s always losing their stuff (or passionate about not losing their luggage), the Apple AirTag is a perfect gift. It’s a precise tracker that can attach to basically anything, meaning you can find all those little things you always misplace. Read our full thoughts here, and why we think it’s the perfect travel accessory.

Give them some of the best sleep of their life with our pick for the best sleep mask of the year. It features a genius nose wire, so it blocks all — and we mean all — of the light. The mask is soft on the eyes and comfortable on the head, and it never so much as budged during the night, no matter our sleep position.

If they’ve got a bunch of trips planned this year, gift them our pick for the best travel pillow of 2022. The Cabeau was firm enough to support our head and neck, soft enough to fall asleep on and perfectly portable, allowing you to compress it to half its size.

One of our favorite travel backpacks, this one is divided into three compartments, and in addition to being able to accommodate a 15-inch laptop, it’s got loads of key design details you’ll want. Think of a top handle, hanging clasps, a USB port and adjustable straps, not to mention a ton of pockets for storing all your things. Boasting a 4.8-star rating, the backpack’s highlight is a padded mesh backing that will keep you as cool as can be, no matter how many times your flight is delayed. Did we mention it’s less than $30 right now? Done and done.

Any TikTok enthusiast will appreciate this ring light, which is our pick for the best ring light.

For singing in the shower or taking their tunes on the go, this portable speaker will surely come in handy. In fact, we think this is the best travel portable speaker out there.

Instead of letting them continue to fry her hair, allow them to dry, smooth and volumize in one easy step with Revlon’s ionic (and iconic!) technology, which we named the best affordable hair dryer of the year. It has three heat settings, an ergonomic design and several cute color options, like mint and pink.

Don’t you think their shower deserves to feel like a spa? We tried the Goshi towel and it’s completely revolutionized our shower experience, with an exfoliating weave that sloughs off dead skin and left us feeling silky smooth.
