1. A smartphone picture printer so you can give the gift of having retro-styled photos print anywhere right from your phone!
Promising review: “Bought this printer to take with me to a wedding over the weekend. The printer was very easy to carry around, and you can print pictures anytime and anywhere. You get a nice retro vibe to the pictures and everyone loved having a physical photo to keep. I highly recommend it. Tip: make sure your phone is on full brightness before you print to make sure it doesn’t come out too dark.” —Ambika Singh
Price: $39.99 (uses Fujifilm Instax Mini film)
2. A super warm Carhartt hat for anyone who wants a hat that’ll last and keep you cozy for over 25 years.
Promising review: “Best cold weather hat I’ve ever owned. First one of these I purchased was in 1988, and I still wear it! Still washes up great and the elastic is amazingly tight. They say hand wash it, but I toss mine in the washer and hang dry it overnight. It does have a tendency of getting a little too warm at times but that’s doable. The only reason I bought another is I wanted a different color. Hopefully it will last over 25 years as well. This will make a great Christmas gift or stocking stuffer, at a very affordable price!” —Randy Indy
Price: $12.99 (31 colors)
3. A Harry Potter wizard chess set to ~weasily~ win over the heart of HP fans far and wide.
Promising review: “My husband and 10-year-old grandson play chess weekly on FaceTime. We had this set sent to him for Christmas this year. When he opened it (FaceTime) he totally flipped. He showed us each piece. The board is beautiful. This Sunday will be the first match using it. Can’t wait!” —sower
Price: $45
4. A set of four stainless-steel little cat teaspoons so you can hang these precious babes right on the rim of a well-stocked stocking.
Price: $10
5. Giantex Astronaut Pet Cat Dog Puppy Carrier.
Promising review: “In terms of durability and safety, I think this does nicely. What’s more important is how the cat loves it. To be honest he does not like being captured and placed into it, however once inside he is calm. He loves sticking his paw out of the side holes and he LOVES sticking his head in the bubble and seeing. The smooshing of his face against the plastic does leave a bit of steam, which is hard to see through, but he is smart enough to move around when it becomes too cloudy. ” —Closet Wench
Price: $34.50 (six colors)

7. A sunrise alarm clock worthy of investment. The light cycles and soothing sound machine features might help you give the greatest gift of all this year — better sleep.
Promising review: “Purchased this as a gift for my husband. Very easy to use, and he loves it. His old alarm clock was obnoxiously loud, waking up the kids down the hall every morning. This one is a gentle, relaxing wake-up to the warm glow of the ‘sun’ and birds happily chirping. We also love falling asleep to the ‘sunset,’ a 10-minute progressive sleep timer that slowly dims until completely dark and has a sound machine feature. Love this clock!” —D. Fisher

It is piping hot inside, and cool to the touch outside. It has literally changed my life because I can pack hot food for my kids’ school lunches daily.

10. A Pioneer Woman cookbook over 7K reviewers swear by; for anyone in need of more 16-minute meals, comfort food, or freezer-friendly dinners.
Promising review: “So far, I haven’t been disappointed. I made the broccoli wild rice dish for Thanksgiving, the Brussels sprouts with balsamic reduction and the fingerling potatoes. Each of these were delicious and resulted in rave reviews. One word of caution: It took me longer to prep the recipes than what she estimates but maybe I’m not as proficient in chopping, etc. The book is beautiful. The photography alone is lovely, and I like the step-by-step photos and commentary. I also like her friendly tone and insight into her life and family. This would be a really beautiful gift. Glad I bought it for myself!” —Our Lady Bon Bons

13. An Echo Dot who can play your favorite songs, tell you the weather, and link up to home devices. Getting up in the morning is a lot easier when you can blast Queen and turn the lights on before you even get out of bed.

Promising review: “I love this little device! Echo Dot has been part of our daily life; helping with weather forecast, reading news, playing music, telling jokes, controlling lights, and cooperating with silly talks, lol. I also got a Mokcao speaker for it to have sound support. Anyway, I’m very happy with the life change Echo Dot brought to us.” –Amazon Customer

14. An Amazon cloud cam security camera for anyone who wants to check in on the dogs, the sleeping baby, or the front porch (beware, package thieves 👀). And, this cam is designed to sync up to Alexa through Amazon Fire TV or Echo Show.
Features: 1080p full HD, night vision lets you detect what’s happening around the clock, two-way audio
Promising review: “Picture and features are top-notch. There’s no compromise on quality with this camera. I bought this as a gift for my Dad because he wanted to keep an eye on the front porch while they were on vacation. He got it installed himself and was up and running in no time. With the motion detection, he knows if mail or a package is delivered, then they can text me to go pick it up. There’s no problem with light/dark transitions and he says he hasn’t had a problem with false alarms. I have some old security cameras on my house, so I’ll be looking at these again when the time comes to replace them.” —ChrisNorthJersey
