It's more of an idea, not a specific thing, but I love thoughtful gifts more than any material thing anyone could ever get me, and as you guys know, I lost my cat a couple months ago and he was everything to me, my literal soulmate, so for my birthday, my boyfriend got me this necklace. It has a photo of him engraved on there, and then on the back it says love you forever.
It's literally my most prized possession, I love it so much, and I want to say he got it off Amazon, but I would have to ask him for the link for it. (2:33) Now I have my Nugget on my neck at all times, and I literally cried when I opened it. It's the most special gift ever.
On that same topic, after I lost my cat, my grandma took my favourite photo of Nugget and made me a pillow with his name on it, and it's on our bed at all times, I sleep with it every night. I also sobbed when I opened this. Just something thoughtful like this is the best gift you could ever ask for, I think.
My sister got us pillows with our mom after she passed. I spray them with her perfume and squeeze them whenever I need a hug.
Still have my original beta..Purely awesome product

Kobo all the way, you’re not locked into anything Jeff bezos thinks you should buy and you can download from many different platforms.
Be aware that Amazon changed their rules recently, when you buy a Kindle ebook there you don't really own it but sort of lease it. You cannot download it anymore to save on another device or use it in another reader. If you want to truly own a kindle book it's best to buy and download elsewhere, preferrably directly from the author.
I love my Oasis! But realize you buy into a closed ecosystem: it's hard (to impossible) to get your library, copyright-free or pirated books and magazines onto your Kindle.
High quality pots and pans. This is literally something they could end up keeping for 20 plus years if you invest in a good piece.
It's cast iron... With a pretty coating. Your regular cast iron pan will last for a hundred years.
My mom has my grandma’s old cast iron pan, she that brought to Canada with them on the boat in the 50’s. It was used when my grandma bought it. I have dibs on it when my mom decides she she’s ready to stop cooking.

Lola blankets. I feel like everybody who makes these videos always mentions these, they really are that amazing. They have so many different colours, patterns. Whether it's for you or someone else, I feel like it is the perfect Christmas gift because who doesn't like a comfortable blanket?
I think a better answer would be high-quality NC headphones... Not necessarily Bose because I know that their prices are way more premium than others. An Anker Space Q45 has excellent noise-cancelling and costs under $100 (tho plastic quality is slightly questionable. Just don't use it as a hammer).
Not quite good as the Focal paired to an utterly brilliant Astell&Kern...
I have a Philips hue (thrifted) and it is amazing for what I paid (10% of retail) but what does an idea light have to do with it?
Kodak digital camera, so many of my friends have this and I was finally influenced to buy it for myself. I bought this for myself for my birthday, but I keep it in my purse, carry it with me at all times. I feel like the quality is so good, it's not as cheap as the digital camera that I had, but the quality is so much better, and it's not G7X expensive, I think I bought it for $130 off Amazon. I love it, it's something I use every day.
Do the pictures go onto the computer easily though? The last digital camera I bought was so frustrating, it took five or six steps to put each and every picture onto your computer. It was horrible. Every digital thing is getting worse and worse and worse.
The easiest way is through a usb card reader: put the memory card from the camera in the reader and plug that into a computer, it works like any other file collection.

I put a light on a timer, it goes off 20min before the alarm on my phone. Does help in that my phone alarm doesn't startle me as often
Jewelry boxes. This one is from Heaven Mayhem and it doubles up as a coffee table book which I think is a genius idea.
Weighted eye mask. I have never slept better than when I'm wearing this.
Bought a $5 eye mask, works great when my husband sits up with the light on
I can't say I've ever paused to say, "I wish this place smelled like a hotel room."
I just simply share google calendar with my husband for personal lfe and our business, all our appointments are on there!
My (30 year old) co-worker buys vinyl, she finds it interesting to thrift them as people don’t really know what price to put on them. She likes to find ones that are unusual.
It's cool that the youngsters are discovering records, but the nomenclature is troubling. Calling it "a vinyl" is like buying a wooden chair and calling it "a wood."
A bit retro. Make sure your gift recipient actually has a turntable. Personally I abandon the format in the late 20th century.
Since they don't sell the rest of the stereo anymore, how's it supposed to work?
A good perfume.
I bought this for myself for my birthday, but I had gotten a Sephora package and they put in little perfume samples, and this was the best thing I had ever smelled. I immediately ordered a full-size bottle, and actually the other day, my coworker walked past me and I said, "oh my gosh, what are you wearing? You smell so good. And she told me, Paradox Prada. That's the perfume I wear. So I said, "you're telling me this is what I smell like?"
They don't make good perfume anymore. It all fades in two seconds now. Never wasting my money the c**p they make now
Have you heard of nose blindness? It’s not fading, you just aren’t smelling it anymore!

A Dyson, of course. I think I've had this one for like three years. I really don't know what I would do if I didn't have it. I think it's so much more convenient as opposed to buying a bunch of different hair curlers and straighteners.
I wouldn't sink that much money into something without being able to test it first.
There is one rule in our home: household appliances are not a gift. Not for christmas and not for birthdays.
Dyson makes more than home appliances. This is a hair styling multitool.

I feel like teacups and mugs are a very common gift but you can shake it up with the design like this modern silverware set.
The Babelash eyelash serum. My holy grail product and it works so well. You definitely have to be really consistent with it. Compared to other eyelash serums, I think it's the best one.
Blue light glasses, which I am wearing right now. These specific ones are from Warby Parker. If you don't know what blue light glasses are basically they help protect your eyes from the blue light from your screen. So I wear them when I'm editing videos at nighttime, watching TV. It could be a good gift for the guys as well.
The blue light from your screen is no different than any other blue light. Meanwhile you are depriving yourself of the benefits of blue light Health benefits of blue light "Exposure to blue light provides several important health benefits. It can: help you stay alert boost memory and cognitive function potentially improve seasonal depression help with some skin conditions" (Healthline. et al.)
We live in a daily torrential downpour of blue light. It's screaming at us all day, every day. It comes from the "sun."
Free people fleece jackets. I swear they have the cutest most comfortable fleece jackets and pretty much in every color. They are on the pricier side, but I really do believe they're worth every penny because I've been wearing them for over a year. They hold up great and they're just so cute and comfortable.
St. Javelin fleece is excellent, and supports defending and rebuilding Ukraine
Some nice bedding. I recently invested myself and can confirm it's worth the hype
These eye patches. These are my two favourite brands. We have the Luxe unfiltered and the topicals. Both of these are amazing. I myself really struggle with being puffy when I wake up. The luxe unfiltered ones definitely bring down the puffiness more but overall I love both of them and they both do work.
I get puffy under eyes. Wouldn't say I "struggle" with them. Getting out of my nice comfy bed on a Monday morning - that's the struggle
You cannot go wrong with a little marble trinket tray. They look so chic in your bathroom, on your bedside table.
A classic jewelry box, but it's such a stunning design it would look beautiful wherever they decide to keep it.
The hydra jug. I am a ride or die hydra jug fan. I have been using them since Stanley's was still the big thing. Okay, don't get me wrong, Stanley's are great, but I love the hydra because of obviously the spill proof straw - you could drop it toss it in a bag, in your car, in your purse and it will never spill.
get the 2-gallon / 8 liter version. Comes in handy when you cross the Empty Quarter in Oman
Adult women selling cosmetics and clothes to pre-teen girls. That's all this is.
This seems to be a bunch of clips from an influencer who is stuck 1980's. Some of the references were even outdated. I couldn't participate in the poll because there is nothing on the list I would like and most of the items are somewhat insulting. I mean seriously, how stupid do you think I am?
If a war breaks out in my country tomorrow, I am sure all these things will be a great help.
I'm still wondering how Floating Blanket Girl makes those products float.
If you're reaaally desperate to give me a gift, either ask me *exactly* what I want or give me gift cards. I'm an adult: if I really want some trinket, I can buy it myself. If I don't have it and I haven't told you I want it, it means my reaction to your gift is likely to be, "Huh, okay, thanks, I guess ? I'll probably figure out what to do with it at some point."
Ohhhh no, if you were my friend I'd just buy you something random cute and silly ♥️ but I wouldn't be offended to find it in a charity shop on boxing day. My little sisters is similar to you this year I've bought her a blinky the fish snow globe from the simpsons because 20 years ago she said he was her favourite character and during a family party this summer she mentioned she'd always liked Snow globes. She'll probably give it away but at least she'll get a smile out of it ♥️
Load More Replies...So, just more advertisement. Thanks, BP, so relevant. I kept thinking, "Yada yada yada, first world problems".
Let me guess - influencers 'influencing' to get free stuff from the producers of this overpriced tripe?
Why didn't you just say "gifts for women"? And who the f*** buys cheap digital cameras anymore?
