  KitchenAid

  Artisan Mini Tilt-Head Stand Mixer (3.5-qt.)

  A stand mixer is one of those wishlist appliances that just about everyone could use in their kitchen—and if they love making sweet treats, having one of these makes the process quicker and easier. This mini model from KitchenAid is smaller and lighter than the original, so it’ll take up less space and be easier for your giftee to store.

• Hatch Restore 3 Sunrise Alarm Clock

  

  Hatch

  Restore 3 Sunrise Alarm Clock

  This cool clock can help your pal keep their phone out of the bedroom for more peaceful nights and mornings. It plays soothing sounds to help lull them to sleep, acts as a dimmable bedside light, and gently wakes them up with a simulated sunrise. “In one month, it worked so well that I actually started waking up five minutes before my alarm went off,” our senior commerce editor wrote in her review.

• Dakota Neoprene Backpack

  

  Dagne Dover

  Dagne Dover

  Dakota Neoprene Backpack

  If your loved one schleps a lot of stuff around, this cute backpack will take some of the load off their shoulders (literally). One SELF writer says it’s her go-to gym bag: “It holds my workout clothes, toiletry bag, and shoes, along with my laptop and other essentials I need for the office. The long, internal zipper pockets are great for storing dirty clothes on the way home from the gym too.”

• Birthdate Co. The Birthdate Book

  Birthdate Co.

  The Birthdate Book

  That friend who always tags you in Co-Star memes can pull out this personalized astrology book when they want a little more insight into their personality and feelings.

• Oura Ring 4

  

  We can confirm that the Oura Ring is definitely worth the hype. “It packs a lot of data about your health, and it does it really, really well,” SELF’s fitness and food director, Christa Sgobba, wrote in her review. “The app even has a dedicated screen called Vitals, where you can easily see your body temperature, heart rate variability, respiratory rate, resting heart rate, and sleep regularity.”

• Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag (1-L.)

  

  Lululemon

  Everywhere Belt Bag (1-L.)

  The sleek, sporty Lululemon Belt Bag fits all of the essentials (phone, wallet, keys) and can be worn like a fanny pack or a crossbody, so your giftee has more styling options than they would with a standard tote bag.

• Click & Grow Smart Garden

  

  Amazon

  An indoor garden like this can fit neatly onto any counter and grow fresh greens or herbs for their meals and cocktails. This is an especially thoughtful gift for anyone who doesn’t have yard space, but would love to harvest their own ingredients.

• Shark CryoGlow

  

  Red light therapy devices are everywhere these days, and Shark’s CryoGlow mask is one of the best our editors have tried. It uses red light to reduce fine lines, blue light to prevent acne, and cooling under-eye masks to depuff. If they want to level up their skin care routine, this is the way to do it.

• Theragun Mini

  

  Therabody

  This SELF Home Fitness Award–winning massager is compact in size but can still hammer out muscle tightness after a tough gym session or long day at work.

• Owala FreeSip Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle

  

  Amazon

  Owala

  FreeSip Water Bottle (24-oz.)

  If your loved one could use a reminder to drink more water, getting them a cute, colorful bottle may be the motivation they need. Owala’s Freesip—a favorite of multiple SELF editors—is insulated to keep drinks cold for up to 24 hours. Plus, the flip top covers the built-in straw when they’re not sipping.

• Heraclea The Aegean Flavors Collection

  

  Heraclea

  The Aegean Flavors Collection

  These SELF Pantry Award–winning olive oils are infused with flavor and can add a fresh kick to tons of recipes. “The lemon was fresh, tart, and citrusy. The garlic was strong but didn’t leave that overly garlicky taste in your mouth after eating it, and the chili was the perfect level of spiciness—it blew all other chili oils out of the water,” our tester says.

• Nekteck Shiatsu Neck and Back Massager

  

  Amazon

  Nekteck

  Shiatsu Neck and Back Massager

  This SELF Fave heated massager kneads sore, tired shoulder muscles. Since it’s worn around the neck, it leaves your loved one free to read, cook, or do nothing at all.

• Shokz OpenRun Pro 2

  

  Another Home Fitness Award winner, these headphones are top-notch for runners. They’re lightweight, sweat-resistant, and have a long battery life. Plus, they sit on the outside of the ear and use bone-conduction technology, which means they’ll be able to hear their music and the rest of their surroundings to stay safe.

• Brooklinen Mulberry Silk Bundle

• Bearaby Tree Napper (15 lb.)

  

  Bearaby

  Bearaby

  Tree Napper (15 lb.)

  This chunky knit weighted blanket is surprisingly breathable given its heft—a perk for hot sleepers. Plus, the large weave makes it look like a handmade piece you’d find at a high-end decor boutique.

• Beis The Carry-On Roller

  

  I thought all luggage was the same, until I got a Beis suitcase. Every element of this carry-on feels thoughtfully designed: It has a padded handle, smooth-gliding wheels, a compression flap with straps designed to fit more clothes, and a built-in indicator that lets me know when my bag weighs more than 50 pounds.

• Home Chef Subscription

  

  Home Chef

  A SELF Certified Home Chef meal-kit subscription sends the foodie in your life easy, yummy recipes—along with all the necessary ingredients to make them—so they can focus more on cooking and less on shopping.

• Brooklinen Luxe Sateen Hardcore Sheet Bundle

  

  Brooklinen

  Brooklinen

  Luxe Sateen Hardcore Sheet Bundle (Queen Size)

  I’m a big fan of giving nice bedding as a gift, especially after I received this Brooklinen set before moving into a new apartment. Before getting these, I couldn’t really imagine sheets being that special, but these have little details that make them feel luxurious to me, like the “long” and “short” tags on the fitted sheet and the envelope-style pillow cases that stay in place. They’re also somehow crisp and soft at the same time.

• Corkcicle Eola Bucket Cooler Bag

  

  Corkcicle

  Corkcicle

  Eola Bucket Cooler Bag

  This cooler-backpack hybrid is a SELF staffer favorite because it makes carrying heavy cans much easier and keeps them cold for more than 24 hours. Bonus: It’s also sleeker than your typical clunky cooler.

• TriggerPoint GRID Vibe Plus

  

  Dick’s

  Triggerpoint

  Grid Vibe Plus

  Sure, your loved one might have a foam roller—but do they have one that vibrates? Serious runners, gym goers, and even folks who have to sit at a desk too long will love this recovery tool. It has four vibration frequencies and a firm, textured surface to help them loosen up tight muscles.

  Birthdate Co.

  This gold- or silver-plated necklace will have a pendant that’s totally unique to your giftee’s birthday, featuring their birth-month stone and three other gems that align with the astrological energy of the day they were born.

• Amazon Kindle Paperwhite

  

  An endless supply of books at the touch of their fingertips? Seems like a no-brainer. A Kindle allows them to crack open a new title anywhere without actually having to lug one around.

• Lulu’s Garden Ray Garden

  

  “I’ve given and been gifted these little succulents from Lula’s Garden, and they’re always well-received,” says one SELF writer. “I’m always impressed by how well they hold up in the mail, and I’ve repotted them over the years with great success. There’s just something so fun about getting a cute little succulent in the mail! And honestly, everyone loves a low-maintenance plant, so you really can’t go wrong with this gift.”

• Frameology

  

  Getting pics off the phone and onto the wall can feel like a chore nowadays—this service makes it beyond easy. Send in pics from your phone of you and your loved one, choose the sizes and frames you like, and voilà! They’ll get a package with framed photos of the two of you that they can hang or display in their home.

• Rumpl Original Puffy Blanket

  

  REI

  Rumpl

  Original Puffy Blanket

  “This blanket goes on every camping trip with me—it’s lightweight, packable, and warm, like a puffer jacket in blanket form—perfect for cozying up around a fire at night,” says one SELF writer.

• Loop Experience Ear Plugs for Concerts

  

  Amazon

  Loop

  Experience Ear Plugs for Concerts

  These discreet ear plugs will help your giftee avoid ringing ears after concerts. They have an acoustic channel and filter that reduces (but doesn’t block out) noise, so performances sound clearer and crisper. “Never in my life did I think I’d call a pair of earplugs ‘cool,’ but that’s truly what I think of Loop’s Experiences,” SELF’s senior commerce writer Sara Coughlin wrote in her review.

• Garmin Venu 3S

  

  Garmin’s SELF Home Fitness Award–winning Venu 3S tracker impressed our tester with its ability to log workouts, heart rate, hydration levels, sleep habits, and more for up to 10 days between charging sessions. The Venu can also help the wearer respond to text messages and take calls while on the go—it hits the sweet spot between a data-centric fitness tracker and a handy smartwatch.

• Aerflo Aer System Bundle

  

  Aerflo

  A reusable, portable bottle that makes sparkling water with the push of a button is the perfect gift for your friend who always needs some bubbles. This starter kit will set them up with 15 CO2 capsules that can make 60 bottles of seltzer. When they run out, they can ship the empties back with a prepaid label and a new set will arrive.

• Master Tailgators Fuse Rad Radio with Bluetooth

  

  Amazon

  Master Tailgators

  Fuse Rad Radio with Bluetooth

  Help them switch from a boring black speaker to something that really aligns with their style. This one looks like an old-school radio but has all the capabilities of a modern one, like Bluetooth and AUX connectivity.

• Pluto Puff Body Pillow

  

  Pluto

  One SELF writer and her partner constantly fight over who gets the Pluto Puff, so you know it’s good. “It’s the perfect density—squishy and cloudlike, but thick enough to support you,” she says. “It’s the most amazing pillow to cuddle and throw a leg over, and unlike any other pillows I’ve ever had—it’s seemingly always cool to the touch.”

• Bambusi Bamboo Bathtub Tray

  

  Target

  Bambusi

  Bamboo Bathtub Tray

  If you gift your bath-loving friend this tray, tub rotting (not to be confused with bed rotting) may be on the horizon. With dedicated compartments for a wine glass, a phone, and a book or tablet, they can enjoy a relaxing soak for hours.

• Beast Mini Blender

  

  Crate & Barrel

  Making a smoothie for one can be tricky to eyeball in a full-sized blender. Enter this aesthetic little number, which will look great on any countertop. And since the blending container doubles as the cup, there’s half as much clean up involved in the process.

• Skylight Touchscreen Smart Calendar

  

  Target

  Skylight

  Touchscreen Smart Calendar

  Is your giftee known to double-book (or triple-book) their schedule? This digital organizer can help. It syncs all calendars—Google, iCloud, Outlook—of everyone in their household and lets them add tasks like chores, to-do lists, and groceries to buy. And while we wouldn’t necessarily call it wall art, its views are legitimately pretty (in a fresh school supplies kind of way). Plus, they can program it to display a slideshow of photos when they’re not using it.

• Cozy Earth Short Sleeve & Pant Bamboo Pajama Set

  

  Cozy Earth Short Sleeve & Pant Bamboo Pajama Set

  “I’ve worn this set once a week since getting it,” says one SELF editor who deals with night sweats. “I prefer pants over shorts because they prevent my legs from sticking together, and this pair is dreamy-soft.” This button-up top and drawstring pants combo has subtle piping that’ll make them feel like they’re staying at a fancy hotel.

• Dame Massage Oil Candle

  

  If they could use some TLC, this candle-turns-massage-oil will send the right message. It’s the perfect thoughtful, sensual gift to give to a partner.
