1 For the Traveler: Frontier Crushable Wool Felt Safari Hat
Hats are a great accessory, but when you're traveling, they can be a pain in the you-know-what to carry. Meet the Frontier Crushable Wool Felt Safari Hat ($99), a hat that can actually be packed in a suitcase. Its crushable design is made to fit into small spaces and quickly regain strength, making it a perfect choice for those on the go.
2 For the Skincare Enthusiast: Goop Glow Flower Acids Resurfacing Toner
We've personally tried the Goop Glow Flower Acids Resurfacing Toner ($40) and love how effective it is. The toner hydrates and retexturizes the skin all at once, giving it a glow like no other. It's an ideal gift for those into skin care.
3 A Cozy Robe: Shleepy Robe
It doesn't get more comfortable than this Shleepy Robe ($95). Its soft and cozy design will make them feel like they're wearing a blanket. Complete with a hood for extra-chilly nights, this robe is ideal for cuddling up in.
4 Timeless Aviators: American Optical General Sunglasses
We all know that person who can't leave the house without their shades, and the American Optical General Sunglasses ($194) are a timeless classic. The quintessential aviator goes with any look and this brand in particular is known to be incredibly well-crafted. We especially love this rose gold and brown colorway.
5 For Dry Skin: Summer Fridays Dream Oasis Deep Hydration Serum
If they're always complaining about dry skin, look no further than this Summer Fridays Dream Oasis Deep Hydration Serum ($44). The serum soothes irritated complexions while softening and hydrating skin. The result is a glowing finish without any residue. One of our POPSUGAR editors tried it and said, "If, like so many of us, you're battling dry and irritated skin, this is the serum of your dreams."
6 For the Cocktail-Lover: Bartesian Cocktail Maker
If you want to splurge on something big, give this Bartesian Cocktail Maker ($370) a chance. Its mixology skills are immaculate, and it works as simply as a Keurig — aka, add a capsule, mix in water and booze, and the machine will work its magic. Check out what our very own POPSUGAR editor had to say about it in her personal review.
7 A Portable Fireplace: Colsen Tabletop Rubbing Alcohol Fireplace
The Colsen Tabletop Rubbing Alcohol Fireplace ($75) is fueled by smokeless, odorless rubbing alcohol. It can be brought to the beach or kept indoors for a cozy feel. It is light, easy to take on the go, and can even withstand wind if it's turned on at home first.
8 For the Person Who Needs Some Self-Care: Hatch Restore
If you know someone in need of self-care, get them the Hatch Restore ($130). This product is a smart sunrise alarm, sound machine, and meditation app all in one. It will be their ultimate sleep helper, whether they need something to help them fall asleep, stay asleep, or wake up refreshed.
9 For the Breakfast Fanatic: Mini Waffle Maker
Breakfast-lovers will be all over this Mini Waffle Maker ($20). Its small size is great for apartments that don't have a lot of counter space, and it's easy to store and will make delicious waffles whenever she wants them (aka all the time).
10 For the Jewelry Wearer: Teeny Tiny Mega Stud Earring Set
The best stocking stuffer of all time? The Teeny Tiny Mega Stud Earring Set ($20). The set comes with 40 small studs, including stones and unique metal shapes. She can mix and match the earrings or wear every pair — the choice is hers!

13 For the Goal-Setter: The Five-Minute Journal
Writing in The Five-Minute Journal ($30) is a fun and effective way to get her mind working in the morning. It'll make her that much more excited to tackle the day's intentions, and it's a great way to practice gratitude — something all of us could use a little more of.
14 For the Plant Parent: Disney Princess x POPSUGAR Moana Planters
We're already dreaming up creative uses for this set of three ceramic coral, cream, and mint Disney Princess x POPSUGAR Moana Planters ($21, originally $25 for three).

15 For the Cozy Friend: Cushionaire Feather Recovery Pillow Cloud Slides Sandal
The Cushionaire Feather Recovery Pillow Cloud Slides Sandal ($25-$67) might not be the most stylish slides she's ever laid eyes on, but she'll fall in love with their waterproof design and pillowy-soft sole.

16 For the Beauty-Lover: Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Stunna Lip Paint Longwear Fluid Lip Color

The UGG Classic Mini Waterproof Clear Boot ($113-$150, originally $150) is a clear win for so many reasons.
