These Cards Will Get You Drunk ($16) will be a hit at any party. It's super easy to learn, and will be one your friends want to put to use ASAP. Just make sure the person you're gifting actually drinks before you go with this present.

We don't trust anyone who doesn't like french fries. This Maad "Fries on the Fly" Multi-Purpose Universal Car French Fry Holder ($13) might be the best invention ever. It'll keep their french fries from being lost in the dreaded abyss between the middle console and the car seat.

How dreamy is this Glow-in-the-Dark Zodiac Art ($36)? If they're obsessed with astrology, they'll love looking at these pieces.

Everyone will have fun doing these Skin Renewing Masks ($25). It's a project and some self-care all in one gift. Choose from the glow kit or the detox kit depending on what kind of skin the person has, and if you're unsure, get both! It'll still come in at $50.

They'll say yes to this Bourbon Infused Coffee ($22). I mean, who wouldn't? It's important to note that this coffee is infused with bourbon, giving it a rich flavor, but does not actually have any actual alcohol content, so it's safe for anyone who consumes caffeine, even if they're under 21.
