Aura Digital Picture Frame

This cute, comprehensive guide to houseplants will ensure you don’t destroy your love fern. With 100 plant profiles and gorgeous photography, it’s the white whale of coffee table books: good looking and something you actually want to crack open.

Gifts for people you like
Echo Dot
Amazon’s Echo Dot home assistant—let’s call her “little Alexa”—is a dream come true for every lazy but fundamentally generous shopper. For just three crisp Alexander Hamiltons, you can give the gift of song, kitchen timers, mini Jeopardy! quizzes, and self-surveillance all rolled into one. Why not order 10 and call your holiday shopping quits?
Gifts for people you tolerate
Facial Steamer SPA+ by Microderm GLO
Everyone wants a spa day, but not everyone deserves one on your dime. This home humidifier promises to open pores and remove blackheads with its 4-in-1 steaming system. Best of all, it costs only a fraction of a certificate to the sweat lodges.
Cute coasters
There’s a coaster for everyone. Some look like computer discs, others like flamingos. SunnyLIFE’s reversible coasters give you two looks in one.
Que Bottle
Everyone—even your worst enemy—deserves their daily minimum recommended intake of water. This thermos will help them get there. Made of silicone, it collapses and expands according to your needs. Throw it in a bag on the go, and roll it out for all-day hydration.
