#25. Live Olive Tree

For when saying you’re sorry with a simple branch won’t cut it.

#24. Bamboo Cutting Board

A gift no one will ever be sad they received. Impossible.

#23. Electric Tea Kettle

Whether you need water for oatmeal, macaroni, tea, or your French press coffee, this kettle boils water in a couple of minutes or less. Perfect for college dorm rooms or those small, first apartments, too!

It’s good for men, women, and kids, plus it’s back in style.

#21. Hot Water Bottle + Cover

Help them warm up their toes or ease those aches and pains during the long, cold winter.

#20. This Cool Wall Clock

A conversation piece, for sure, and also useful, this is the perfect gift for the stylish single in your life or a housewarming present for a recently married couple.

#19. Makeup Brush Roll

A necessity for the jet-setting lady in your life, or anyone who participates in theatrical productions. Take my word for it.

#18. Vintage Apron

It may seem like an out-of-date gift, but the truth is we can all use something to protect our clothes in the kitchen. Why not go with something adorable and retro?

#17. French Press

Coffee accessories are the perfect gift for 90% of the human race. The other 10% are crazy, and in case you hadn’t heard, the Keurig craze is over.

#16. Travel Blanket Set

Whether on planes, trains, or automobiles, we all like to be comfortable. Make sure you’ve got one for each member of your family to avoid squabbles.

#15. Fingerless Cashmere Gloves

Any cashmere gloves would be fine, of course, but in this day and age, people like to have their fingers free for their electronic screens.

#14. Copper Moscow Mule Mug Set

If someone you know loves Moscow Mules, these mugs are a must. The classic beverage just doesn’t taste right out of anything else.

#13. Foodie Dice

For those nights when you just can’t bring yourself to have the “what do you want for dinner?” / “I don’t care, what do you want?” debate.

#10. Premium Dog Treats

Because you know you don’t leave your doggie out when it comes to gifts. Do you?
