As someone who owns just two sets of sheets (one is this set), I can tell you that I love getting them as gifts! These sheets by California Design Den are super comfy and pretty! I have the Smoked Pearl, but the Snowflakes set is a super cute gift idea!

NOCO Genius Boost Plus GB40

Give the gift of safety with the NOCO Genius Boost Plus GB40! This portable car battery jumper  is small enough to fit in the corner of your trunk, yet powerful enough to provide up to 20 jumps on a single charge. It’s ultra-safe and totally mistake-proof, meaning it won’t spark or cause  problems with reverse polarity. It includes a bright flashlight so that you can jump your car in the dark, plus an SOS strobe to alert others that you need help. You can even recharge your phone, tablets, and more with it. It’s a must-have for anyone who drives, especially during the winter when dead batteries are more likely and also more dangerous.

Maxwell Drawer Floor Lamp from Brightech

The material is insanely soft, ethically sourced, and machine washable. I want one for myself!

Fingerlings HUGS

I fell in love with Fingerlings HUGS when I reviewed them in September. Alas, I gave my HUG away to my friend’s daughter because she is obsessed with Fingerlings. These lovable plush toys are interactive like the original Fingerlings, but a lot cuddlier!

Little kids will love playing vet with this adorable set from Melissa & Doug! The 24-piece vet set comes with plush dog and cat and fun veterinarian role playing accessories. It’s a great toy for teaching kids compassion and empathy.

Toy Library

Toy Library is a bit different from the other gift ideas for little kids because it’s not a “one and done” deal. You can gift a subscription, then kids get toys to play with until they’re done, and trade them in for new (to them) toys. It’s kind of like old-school Netflix but for toys.

Holy Stone HS170 Predator Mini RC Helicopter Drone

If your teen wants a drone, but you’re not ready to drop hundreds of bucks for something that could crash and burn in an instant, this is a great compromise. It’s basically a training drone that helps teens learn how to actually fly the things before they move on to bigger and more expensive drones. That said, it still offers plenty of excitement and comes highly recommended on Amazon.

Functional Remedies Hemp Oil

Hemp oil is a fantastic Secret Santa gift that frazzled friend who is impossible to shop for. Functional Remedies offers a range of hemp oil products that use the whole hemp plant, including tinctures, capsules, and ointments. I love it because it really helps with my anxiety-induced insomnia if I take it at night. Since the products contain such a minute amount of  THC, they can be shipped anywhere in the US. If you have concerns about the appropriateness of this gift idea, I highly recommend checking out the FAQs on Functional Remedies’ website.
