A minis set from Summer Fridays…
If there’s anything we love more than Summer Fridays’ lip butter balms, it’s this trio of mini versions. They’re cute, pocket-friendly, and a low-cost way for your giftee to try out different shades.
Punch needle coasters for the hostess…
Not only are these handmade tufted coasters insanely cute, but thanks to their soft cotton material, they won’t stick to the bottom of a glass. Reviews say shipping takes a bit, so be sure to order on the earlier side to ensure a timely arrival.
A mini version of one of our favorite bags…
We’ve written about Free People’s quilted carryall over and over again, so you can imagine our excitement when we found this under-$25 version. It’s large enough to store keys, earbuds, or mints, and small enough to hook onto a water bottle.
Aviator sunnies that will last them a while…
These sunglasses are trendy and practical no matter the season. There’s over 10 different shades to choose from, but personally, we’re partial to the Black and Grapefruit and Oxblood colors.
A game for movie buffs…
“Poorly Explained Movies” is…exactly as it sounds. A card game where players attempt to decipher the title of a movie based on a (very) poorly written description. It’s a fun way to break the ice and get the good vibes going. PS: There’s also a holiday movie version.
A cheeseboard that’s a step above the rest…
Whether your giftee is a rising Martha Stewart or just starting to host on their own, they’ll love this charcuterie board set. It’s simple and elegant, and easy to organize thanks to its deep grooves. Plus, there’s no need to get a separate set of cheese knives. They’re included.
A paint-by-numbers kit that’s easy to follow…
We’ve been fans of paint-by-numbers kits for a while, but truthfully, some of them can take forever to complete. We love this one by Crayola because of its simple, oversized designs that can easily be completed in a day. It’s a great gift for kids and adults alike.
A cheeky baseball hat…
We can't resist a baseball hat with a self-aware slogan. They'll reach for this to run errands, work out, or, yes, when they'd rather keep their hair under wraps.
A detoxifying clay mask…
When it comes to drugstore beauty, Bubble always seems to come out on top. This brightening clay mask is suitable for all skin types and even comes with its own brush for quick and easy application.
Pillowy slides they’ll want in every color…
If a shoe were made of clouds, we think it’d look exactly like these pillow slides. They’re the ultimate at-home shoe, but can still handle wear and tear when worn outside. They’re lightweight, which makes them a great shoe to pack for travel as well.
Soothing eye masks for their next night in…
Grace & Stella call their signature under-eye masks “energy drinks for your eyes.” After trying them ourselves, we can confirm that they reduce inflammation and boost hydration for that “I just got eight hours of sleep” look.
Magic markers to help spark creativity…
Sometimes, all it takes is a set of new supplies to get the juices flowing. We love these because they look like a sleeker, cooler version of the two-sided markers from our youth. They’re also erasable and can change color for an extra dose of “magic.”
A mud mask for the skincare enthusiast…
This mask’s mineral-rich formula works wonders when it comes to cleansing and refining pores. Dead Sea mineral mud does the clarifying, while aloe vera, vitamin E, and jojoba oil keep skin soft.
A handheld fan they can take everywhere…
This portable fan can fold four different ways in order to clip onto a bag, sit upright on a desk, hang around a neck, or simply hold comfortably in a hand. We love it for crowded events, commuting, or anytime we need a swift cool-down.
One of our editors’ favorite party games…
No, you don’t have to be chronically online to enjoy this game. It’s similar to Cards Against Humanity, only the prompt cards consist of a viral internet meme instead of a raunchy fill-in-the-blank scenario. It’s an easy, foolproof gift for any remaining adults on your list.
