If you’re scrambling for gifts and trying to save at the same, this is your moment. Keep reading.
Add a little sparkler to your giftee’s office or WFH setup with these pens.
Our personal favorite is the iridescent oil slick option, but you can always choose any color you know they love.
The eco-warrior on your list will love this gift.
These straws come with a pouch so you can sip anytime, anywhere, and the cleaning brush comes free.
Frames are so last year. Put a favorite memory front and center on one of these photo magnet for a little more than the price of a Pumpkin Spice Latte.
Everybody needs a letter board, but trust us this is the right size.
Nobody deserves encouragement quite like Jonathan Van Ness. (And we could all use a little extra, right now.)
The signature mustache and pink Converse, will keep your friend pumped through the winter.
It’s silly putty, but for stressed adults. It’s fun. It’s pretty. It’s putty. What else do you need to know?
Anyone who’s fumbled half-asleep for a charging cable while half-asleep knows the pain.
In comes the cable bite. Fact: tiny polar bears makes grabbing wires easier.
Also, available in baby penguin and seal.
This seasoning is the reason why everything bagels are the only bagels that matter.
It’s great on everything. Total foodie or a total loss in the kitchen—doesn’t matter. This stuff is guaranteed happiness in your mouth till it’s gone.

Let’s be honest. All of our phones could use a good clean. Make it quick and easy with these wipes.
If you have an old Guess Who game laying around, give it an upgrade and give it to your friend who wishes they worked at Seattle Grace Hospital/Grey-Sloan Memorial Hospital (if you know, you know).
Note: you’ll need to print out these files and affix them to the game yourself.
This stuff is amazing. And it’s a perfect gift for your wine-loving friend who’s a klutz, owns a lot of white, or both.
