A pair of wireless Bose headphones so you can work out, get a snack, or ignore your text messages while listening to your favorite playlist without being ~tied down~.
They have immersive sound quality, buttons right on the headphones, up to a 15-hour battery life, and they even let you access Siri or Google voice commands!
Get them from Bose for $179.95.
Promising review: "I have been using these headphones for a couple weeks now and have loved them through and through. The design is great and feels premium. The controls are easily accessible. The headphones sit light on the head and fit well. There is minimum sound bleed and even though they aren't noise canceling, there is way less outside noise filtering in. The sound quality itself is top-notch, especially call quality. The caller's voice is crisp even when he/she is in a noisy place. Active EQ makes sure to give a good bass at higher volumes and a smoother, softer sound at lower volumes. The battery so far has been unbelievable. I not only have charged only twice in the past two weeks, but I have charged to 100% in under two hours. With the ease of wireless connectivity, this pair of headphones combines great sound quality with awesome practicality." —Ntn171
An incredibly real-looking faux fur throw blanket to give any home a touch of interior-design-magazine-meets-Winterfell luxe.
Get the largest size from Amazon for $164.57 or Jet for $185.75. Available in 12 colors.
Promising review: (I know it's long, but it is GLOWING) "You know how sometimes when you order an item after you've wanted it for so long, and you've built it up in your mind so much that when it finally arrives you're a bit disappointed? Well, this isn't going to be one of those times. Even after reading multiple glowing reviews, I hesitated to order it. I didn't want to invest $155 in something I would be less than thrilled with so I debated, hedged, and chewed my nails for weeks before finally taking the leap.
"The very first time I lay beneath the soft, graceful folds of this elegant throw to take a nap, I feel in love with it. Dog/animal lovers will understand. It was like snuggling up with a beloved malamute on a cold winter's day, only better. No bed hogging, no sharp nails, no wiggling about, and no messy face slurps; just cozy, comforting warmth. I ordered the full throw size, large enough for hubby and I to snuggle together. It is heavy, but not not too heavy, and adds a homey, designer appeal to room decor. Although faux, the fur is very convincing. It has a nap that looks and feels real, with enough variance in fur shade, length, and texture for a convincing imitation. In fact, while reading a book or watching television I find myself absentmindedly weaving my fingers through the fur as though caressing a dog (or tame wolf or fox); extremely comforting and relaxing. Would I order another — you bet! (I'm trying to convince hubby that he needs his very own ... perhaps the brown mink?)" —LoriA_Seattle
A vault of fan-favorite NYX matte lip creams for the person who could never (and I mean never, ever, ever) have enough lipsticks.

Promising review: "Two years ago we rescued our redbone hound from our humane society. He has been a special dog and a wonderful addition to our empty nest. This blueprint was a a perfect Father's Day gift. We personalized it with his name and couldn't be happier with the quality and uniqueness. We love it! Thank you!" —Tracy

A Kindle Paperwhite with a glare-free screen so you feel like you're reading an *actual* book — without having to have to schlep around a heavy 1,000-page volume (looking at you, A Song of Ice and Fire).
Personal note: I love my Kindle Paperwhite so much. It's SO LIGHT that I keep it in my bag at all times — you never know when you're gonna have a spare 15 minutes for a chapter or two.
Get it from Amazon for $119.99+. Available in black and white.
Promising review: "I am in love with my Paperwhite! I have always been a big fan of collecting paper books and have always dreamed of owning a massive library of books, but as someone with limited funds and who travels and moves a lot, carrying a library from town to town and state to state starts making your husband angry! So, from here forward I will be buying my books from Amazon and getting them in a digital version. I couldn't be happier about it. My last Kindle didn't have the backlight so I had to have a small lamp by the side of my bed (which my hubby wasn't the biggest fan of either). The Paperwhite has a gentle light in it that makes reading totally comfortable in all light settings. You can make it very dim or bright and the battery lasts forever!" —Stephanie N Hughes

A Philips Sonicare Diamondclean toothbrush with four modes, three intensities, and three different brush heads so you can customize your cleaning to your dental needs. And it has sensors to show you on your smartphone where you missed so you can improve your brushing habits. (It's one of Oprah's Favorite Things!).
Get it from Amazon for $169.99 or Walmart for $174.97. Available in five colors.
Promising review: "Bought this at the suggestion of my dentist. I particularly like the pressure sensor and the indication that you are brushing too fast. The timer is also very helpful. The app itself tracking focus areas for brushing I find a bit inaccurate but it does help. Overall very pleased. It is a toothbrush that feels like what a dentist uses when I get a check up. Expensive most definitely but it gets the job done very effectively." —Richard
A truly giant dollhouse mansion complete with eight rooms, 34 pieces of furniture, an elevator, and large windows so you can look at it from all angles.
It has over 1,400 reviews on Amazon!
Get it from Amazon or Walmart for $125.97.
Promising review: "This was a Christmas gift for our granddaughter (now age two) and I am very happy to report that she loves it! It seems quite sturdy and it's sufficiently complex that it keeps her entertained longer than any of her other toys. Speaking as someone of a certain age, most kids today seem to have a whole lot to choose from in the way of toys, and that one of them is not only the favorite but gets lots of sustained use says something to me. Worth the price, from grandpa's point of view!" —Geoffrey B.
A Samsung Gear virtual reality device that'll prove that the future is already here. Just pop in any Samsung smartphone and prepare to be amazed.
Get it from Amazon for $128.
Promising review: "I don't say this lightly...#mindblown!! I installed a free app called Face Your Fears and I had to rip this VR off my head because it was so intense, but I mean that in a good way. I was super afraid this was over hyped, but as my first VR experience... this met and surpassed what I was hoping! Absolutely love this Gear VR. (I used a Samsung Galaxy S8+)" —Jennifer M. Sawyer
A gorgeous clear acrylic bar cart, because you should really share the gift of good taste. And because if you give them a bar cart, they'll serve you booze when you visit.
Get it from World Market for $199.99.
Promising review: "Love love love this bar cart! Looks absolutely adorable and doesn't take up a ton of visual space." —Heidi

It comes with three wicks already included: calm, focus, and energy blends.
Get it from Anthropologie for $125. Available in yellow, white, and rose gold.
Promising review: "I can't stop talking to my friends about the Cor pendant! Not only does it have a sleek and unique look, but it also offers all the benefits of aromatherapy in an amazingly convenient way. The best thing about owning this piece is that I don't have to necessarily pair it with every outfit; I often will slip it in my bag or jacket as an on-the go accessory. My color is rose gold and my (current) favorite is 'calm.' I highly recommend this necklace as a beautiful and multi-purpose piece." —Smurray
A Nespresso Vertuo coffee and espresso maker that'll make your morning routine so much less stressful. Just pop in a pod (both espresso shots and full-size coffees available) and press a button. Caffeine is ready!!

Promising review: "I like iced coffee with high caffeine. This fits the bill perfectly and is a joy to use and drink. My Starbucks monthly bill has come down considerably after buying this unit, and I'm ready to hit the ground running that much sooner in the morning. I especially enjoy the self cleaning feature and the ability to run it for smaller or larger cup sizes. Truly a premium product." —David T.
A pair of classic-for-a-reason shearling Ugg slippers with hard soles because you will NOT want to take them off when you have to go outsie to take out the trash.
They have almost 2,000 reviews on Nordstrom alone!
Get them from Nordstrom for $119.95 or Amazon for $119+. Sizes: 5–12. Available in three colors.
Promising review: "Best slippers in the world! I've had my Coquette slippers in chestnut for three years now and prior to a dog destroying them, they have been in the best shape anyone could imagine. The soles are ideal for indoor and outdoor wear, this is what makes them so durable. I am live in the north where it snows every winter, and not only are the soles great for durability and lifetime of the slipper, they are great for traction. Speaking of snowy winters, my feet do not get cold if I'm only wearing these slippers outside in the snow either. Great slippers for everything!" —Kingy
Nordstrom
A Nintendo 2DS XL for a lightweight and portable gaming system you can take wherever you go. You know you miss having your Gameboy with you.
You can play all Nintendo 3DS, New Nintendo 3DS and most Nintendo DS games in 2D on it!
Get it from Amazon for $149 or Walmart for $149.99.
Promising review: "Amazing product for those who want to save a little bit of money and not care much for the 3D feature. The system is very sleek and streamlined — it is slimmer and lighter compared to the 3D version. The bezels are a lot smaller too. The upgraded hardware really makes a difference, everything runs faster, from loading times to game performance. The screen is very large and bright, the buttons click and responsive. The added second stick with the additional two bumpers make controlling some games simply amazing. The only downside is that the speakers are quiet compared to the 3D, and the top screen feels a little bit floppy. Over all, a fantastic product that opens you up to an amazing library of games." —Consumerism
A personalized whiskey barrel to make any at-home bar *finally* complete. #HomeGoals

Promising review: "Hubby has our basement set up as the ultimate man cave with a sports bar theme and small brewery. He pretty much has it all...so he thought!! This whiskey barrel was the perfect gift and is one of the highlights to his ultimate man cave. I did order the five liter with the rum and whiskey kit and am so glad I did. It was the perfect size for the bar counter. The personalization was also gorgeous...thank you for creating such an amazing product!!" —Best gift giving wife ever!!

A pretty lavender turntable with speakers you can use to play your favorite records or your go-to playlist — just connect your device via bluetooth.
Get it from Urban Outfitters for $169. Also available in white.
Promising review: "I've had a few record players over the years and was looking to upgrade. If you're looking for simple, no frills, this is it. Easy instructions, speakers, and Bluetooth to hookup your phone and play tunes. P.S. The speakers get loud, like party level loud. Some of the reviews have been negative on the other colors. I don't know if they got a broken player, or just forgot to take off the safety cap on the needle? I took a chance on this record player, I'm glad I did!! Love the lilac gray color!!" —Sophster88
A gorgeous Penguin hardcover boxed set of six Charles Dickens novels; they're a fancy addition to any small or large library.

Or a Hogwarts trunk full of all seven Harry Potter books, because if you're not passing on your love for HP, what are you even doing?
Get it from Amazon or Walmart for $110.99.
Promising review: "This is a superb quality set of books. It comes very well packaged and ours arrived pristine, despite it weighing about 20lbs.
The books are wrapped in clear plastic inside the chest, which means you can open the chest to look at them once it arrives, but the recipient gets new wrapped books. The chest is sturdy board, with string/thin rope handles. It has a hard black plastic slide catch, which does look like it will last. On the top is an address label, with a big "deliver to........Hogwarts" stamp, which looks very realistic and adds a nice touch. You can add your child's name to the label. This is a real heirloom set of books, which I hope that all three of my children will read. Although I did not open the plastic protective wrapping on the books, they look to be well-bound and great quality." —AAS (NY)
