Below are some choice Gifts for anyone on your list. Who knows what ideas they may spark!
Since we're all staying home this year, we might as well finally break down and gift the fam with this real movie theater popcorn maker. In the past I've seen them at double the price - and you can Google around for others - but this 4 qt. machine by West Bend with a 4 oz kettle cooks up 5-6 servings. Looks great and is reasonable at $69 on AMAZON. Get it in red or black! Let's get excited about Movie/Binge nights this winter!
YETI is all the rage, and for good reason: it does what it should, which is not what you can say for all thermal products. But it's SO expensive, right? Bring them a little of that brand with this thermal coffee mug at a price you can live with. This 14 oz. mug is a double-walled, vacuum-insulated body that holds coffee, oatmeal, chili, hot toddies or icy wine. Complete with a clear top (since the wide mouth can let things cool). Dishwasher safe too! Comes in a billion colors. $25 at YETI
Rolling Stone Party Game: A music board game for anyone who's ever heard a song, so you won’t have to be a music buff to get involved. To Start: 2 players face off in a quick-fire category battle. Then you have 30 seconds to describe, sing and hum three songs from famous bands for your team (Songs come from 150 well-known artists from the 1960's to the 2010's, so there's something for everyone to connect to). For adults or families, but you'll need a minimum of 4 players. Requires 2 x AAA batteries (not included). On Amazon for $13.
Atlas Coffee Club is a monthly or yearly subscription that sends your recipient 1 bag of coffee from somewhere around the world each month along with a postcard from each country so they can learn about the region, along with brewing instructions so they can get the best out of the bean. 
Otherland candles have incredible packaging. Pick your scent - Fruity, Sweet, Leathery, Floral, Woody and Fresh —then pick from their unique color combos. Save 20% on all as of today. $28 on sale (from $36). Or build a set of 3 or 6 and save 35%.
Their "Gilded Collection" with black labels and gold touches (and gold inside the candle container) makes it a handsome choice for men as well as women. You can personalize a box of 6 or more candles from you in a specialized gift box with a note from you!
DRYBAR makes this blowdried and roller brush in one. It's not cheap, but it's less than half the price of other products like it. If this is something they would use almost every day- think of how worthy the cost would be. It's lightweight, with 3 heat settings and an ionizer to reduce frizz and dry more quickly, which stacks up to reduced time spent in the process. Got the good Housekeeping Best Beauty award for 2020. I found it on
the DRYBAR site for $120 on sale from $150! Yay.
It's not new news that green tea is healthy for you - and the higher the quality the better. But matcha has a ceremony that goes with it. If they practice it, it's a few minutes that helps them slow down in a busy day, or transition from sleep to morning activity. They need a matcha whisk and a bowl, and a little wooden spoon to measure out the tea. Lots of sets out there but this one comes with it's own tea cup as well (some drink it straight from the bowl). This Tealya set is affordable for $35-39 on AMAZON. Five 5 choices of ceramic patterns/colors.
You might want to add some organic powdered Matcha to go with it. Found everywhere, but Rishi makes good ones. Read this Whole Foods article. They also sell the tea.
Le Mer is well known for it's secret serum but it's very expensive. No worries! Give this single face mask treatment for an at-home pampering that costs far less had they gone to a spa. And it comes in a beautiful box and envelope. $35 From Le Mer.
It seems AIR FRIERS are the sudden rage, like Instapots were a few years ago. If someone on your list wants one, here are two sites to look at to compare the top models: The
FOOD NETWORK and
GOOD HOUSEKEEPING. The articles cover categories like most affordable, for families, for large meals, for one person and most fun. I'll take the leap to recommend this Cuisinart TOA-65 Digital which also is a toaster AND convection over so the real estate used on your countertop is a triple play:
ON SALE for $195 on AMAZON.
L'Occitane Lavender Foaming Bubble Bath is a treat. It's luxurious and calming as it fills the bath (and the whole room) with its scent. At a time when we need all the ways to de-stress that we can get, they'll feel spoiled. $39.
