Dash Gingerbread Mini Waffle Maker
Dash’s miniature waffle makers whip up fluffy waffles in minutes, and this one imprints a gingerbread man on each side, darling for a holiday brunch. All you have to do is plug it into an outlet, pour batter onto the 4-inch surface, and close the lid for the gadget to do its magic. Cleanup is also a cinch thanks to the dual nonstick surface. Hundreds of customers gifted the waffle maker to kids interested in cooking, seasoned chefs, and more. While you’re at it, consider pairing the waffle maker with a $3 matching tea towel for a thoughtful touch.
Good Chemistry Refillable Glass Candle
Target may be known for its signature candles, but the big box store also sells candles from my favorite sustainable brand. Good Chemistry lives up to its name by formulating fresh aromas like this one with notes of grapefruit, pineapple, coconut, and apple. The candle is made with essential oils and free of harmful chemicals, plus it has a 40 hour burn time so you can enjoy the fragrance for weeks. Best of all, once it completely melts, you can put the glass container in the freezer to remove the leftover wax and pop in a replacement candle from the brand for just $10. Grab the gift that keeps on giving and helps save candle collectors some change.
Asmodee Monikers Board Game
Nothing brings friends or family together quite like a fun board game, especially this one from Asmodee. I played it all night with a group of friends, and we all agreed it was the most fun we had in ages. To start, players review a set of cards with names of famous and historical people, and during each round, one player tries to get their team to guess as many names as possible—without saying their name. It always guarantees plenty of laughs from my guests. Give someone the gift of making memories this holiday season for $30.
Fenty Snackz by Fenty Beauty Mini Lip Gloss Set
Anyone who knows me is well aware that I always have a Fenty Beauty lip gloss in my bag. The gloss glides on with a gorgeous sheen that doesn’t feel sticky, and it’s also hydrating thanks to ingredients like shea butter. Right now, you can surprise someone with a mini set of the brand’s most popular shades which complement a wide range of skin tones. Each tube fits in even the smallest of purses, but if your giftee tends to misplace their favorite gloss, give them this handy lipstick case that clips onto any bag.
