A five-drawer organizer perfect for anyone who is constantly losing their hair ties (read: practically everyone who uses hair ties). If your pal isn't too into hair accessories, they can use this as a desk organizer, or in their WC to hold cotton balls and more!

An electric wine opener, because is there *anything* worse than hosting a beautiful dinner party, only to put on a show (and possibly spill the Beaujolais nouveau) for all your guests as you struggle with a traditional corkscrew? Your new-homeowner friend will thank you for saving them from such future dinner party mishaps with this ultra-practical gift.

Or! A cold brew coffee maker if your roomie actually cannot stop ordering cold brews from the cafe by your house every. single. day. With this, they'll not only be able to save time and money — they'll also be able to blend different flavors of coffee beans to fit their personal taste preferences.

Promising review: "The pearls are beautiful on the earrings. They are good quality. The latch on the earring opens easily. Overall 10/10 gift as basic earrings." —Genesis

Price: $20+ (available in two sizes)

Promising review: "I researched drones for months trying to find the best drone for the money as a Christmas gift for my husband. For the features and video quality, this one can't be beat. He absolutely loved it even better compared to another more expensive drone he had about a year ago that was stolen. He's so proud of it, he shows it off to everybody lol! Holystone has amazing customer service too...you get to speak to a real live associate and they are more than helpful. They really stand behind their product and have guided my husband through any questions or concerns he had about his new drone. That was an important factor to me when I chose them as well. Many reviews and research indicated they had the best customer service and although $300 or so isn't going to break the bank, it's still a chunk that I would not like to go down the drain. So it was nice to know they stand behind their products and now I feel confident enough in the company and product that when it's time for him to upgrade to a more expensive drone, it's Holystone all the way! My husband is happy and that's all that matters!" —Amazon Customer

Price: $299.99

This set doesn't come with matcha powder, so consider buying this ceremonial-grade matcha as an add-on!

Promising review: "This set has made a difference in my preparation of the matcha tea. I incorporated this as part of my self-care routine to stop and take time to set intentions for the rest of my afternoon. I’m very pleased with my purchase." —Rosalba

Price: $19.95

Promising review: "I love this cold brew system. I did have an expensive Pampered Chef system but broke the pot. I bought this system as a replacement, and I like it much better. The coffee is great, and I have had zero problems with loose coffee grounds, even when I use bagged ground coffee instead of coarsely ground coffee, as is suggested." —Erin

Price: $27.99

Promising review: "I love love love this mascara. I’m an everyday false eyelash wearer and I wanted to find a mascara that mimics them and this is exactly that. It does not lie, it’s extremely waterproof and I’ve gone thru several crying sessions and it still doesn’t wanna come off! It really adds such a nice length to your eyes." —lunar

Promising review: "Better than any strip! Saw this on TikTok and it’s everything. Love the auto night-light feature. So versatile and compact. Worth every penny. Will be ordering more." —Kellie

Promising review: "I bought this as a gift for both my mother and stepmother on Mother's Day. They both love it. My mom has arthritis pretty bad in her hands but loves wine. This product saves her hands from having to grip and twist the cork bottle opener. You can have a bottle of wine opened in four seconds with this product. The foil remover is super spiffy too because no more sliding a knife carefully around the edge! Just place over the foil, grip together and twist in one motion. This is a great product and as soon as I'm not broke anymore I'm getting myself one." —Amazon Customer

Price: $18.50

Promising review: "These are so cute and way better quality than I expected. They have a hard sole so can be worn in door out outside if needed. Cushioned on the inside which makes them so cozy and comfortable. They look just like the photo. Super happy with my purchase." —Annisa

Price: $14.99+ (available in women's sizes 5–11.5 and in 12 colors)

Promising review: "This book is beautiful. The page borders are artistically different, yet they all play off one another! The big one is about as big a dinner plate, great for being written in. The front cover also has some embossing. 10/10!" —Rebecca

Price: $12.49

This is a photo of my chessboard on my coffee table — I absolutely love how this board instantly upped the cozy vibes of my coffee table, which, TBH, seemed a little barren before with just a few candles and coasters.

Promising review: "This set is beautiful! Bought it for my husband who really wanted a beautiful set in his office for decor and this is perfect! He loves to play as well but we have not played on it much but it has held up well so far!" —Mal

Promising review: "Wow I wish I had started doing my own gel manicures years ago! It took me a test run to learn the consistencies of the different products in the kit. After that, boom, no more salons. I’ve found that I like to do my fingers first and leave my thumbs for last. If you have steady hands, get this kit!!" —darweeny

Price: $33.98+ (available in 14 sets)

Promising review: "THIS. THING. IS. AMAZING. I have literally never had clearer skin. It does exactly what it says it does: erases your makeup. Waterproof or not, it all goes away with just a little water and a little bit of scrubbing. I will forever be amazed by this. Never buying another makeup remover product again." —Brittany

Promising review: "I just received my LARQ water bottle and plan to take it on a trip to South America soon. The unit was easy to charge and has worked as designed- both in normal mode and adventure mode. It's a really nice-looking bottle. It is solid, slightly heavy, and sturdy. It keeps the water cold and has encouraged me to drink more water." —A. Santana

Price: $94.99+ (available in two sizes and six colors)

Promising review: "Best little ice cubes ever. They pop out of the tray really easily... especially after setting them out for a quick couple of minutes on the counter. Tipping the tray 30 degrees to level the water before putting them in the freezer is a great tip from another review. The cubes are the perfect size to scoop into my homemade iced mochas." —Heather

Price: $12.98

Promising review: "This was perfect for on top of my dresser. I put all of my hair ties, scrunchies, chapsticks, and lipsticks in each of the little drawers. Makes it much easier to find and access what I need." —Bella

Price: $19.99 (available in two colors)

BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord has this to say about it: "I (begrudgingly!!) got these recently for my Mac charger, because apparently the journey from my bedroom to the living room was just too much for my fragile cord's heart to bear, and it was starting to get worn at the charger end. This spiraled on in less than 10 seconds and has been great in terms of making sure the charger is still flexible and has some give but isn't bending itself backward and daring me to let it break, either. Also loved how affordable it was compared to a $30 replacement charger."

Price: $4.45+ (available in packs of four, 10, and 20, and two colors)
