15 Yankee Swap Gift Ideas That Your Friends and Fam Will Actually Want

Peter Thomas Roth Goodbye Eye Baggage Hydra-Gel Eye Patch Kit ($19)

Peter Thomas Roth went viral on TikTok for making under-eye bags disappear in seconds. This colorful kit of eye patches from the brand helps to depuff, firm, and hydrate the delicate skin beneath your eyes in under 10 minutes.

Slip Pure Silk Scrunchie 3-Pack ($22)

Hair ties are like socks and bobby pins: constantly disappearing. Your Yankee Swap participants will clamber to refill their supply with these beauty-editor fave silk skinny scrunchies from Slip.

Twelve South AirFly Adaptor for AirPods ($35)

Frequent fliers will love this handy doodad, which allows you to connect your wireless earbuds to your plane's in-flight entertainment system. This means, no more struggling with tangles of wires every time the person in the window seat needs to use the bathroom.

Carhartt Black Label Watch Hat ($30)

There's no easier way to get that snowboard-girlie aesthetic than popping on a Carhartt beanie. While the brand has become synonymous with hipsters in recent years, it's made heavy-duty workwear (jackets, coveralls, and hats) since the 19th century. This means, this rib-knit toque will be more than just a fashion statement.

Quince All-Day Neoprene Toiletry Bag ($35)

Quince is known for creating high-quality products that cost significantly less than their counterparts at bigger-name brands. This toiletry bag resembles a certain neoprene IG-fave brand, but will only put you back $35. Multiple interior compartments keep your cosmetics organized, and you can feel good about the fact that its water-resistant fabric is made from recycled water bottles.

Quince Revive Nylon Belt Bag ($25)

While we admire Ariana Madix's impressive juggling skills, it's definitely easier to be hands-free. Just say yes to this cute belt bag for less than the cost of a workout class.

Handheld Milk Frother ($6)

Whip up a latte (espresso, turmeric, matcha — take your pick) at home with this handheld milk frother. Reviewers say it works well in all types of milks, both dairy and alt.

Patagonia Provisions Smoked Mussels ($25)

Tinned fish is having a moment (really!). Add a savory snack to your appetizer menu and instantly feel transported to the Iberian Peninsula. Bonus: Dietitians love tinned fish because it backs a punch of healthy protein and omega-3s. (One editor says that a can of herring from Patagonia Provisions was the most-stolen gift at the Yankee Swap she attended last year.)

The East Asian Omsom Sauce Sampler ($32)

Every sauce from this female-founded brand packs a punch of flavor. Whether you're craving noodles from your grandma's house or favorite Korean restaurant, this sampler pack — which includes a yuzu miso glaze, spicy bulgogi sauce, and spicy masala sauce — takes the guesswork out of re-creating East Asian flavors at home.

Nordstrom Butter Crew Lounge Socks ($9)

You know you've reached adulthood when you love getting socks as gifts. This plush pair from Nordstrom is equally perfect for wearing to curl up for a Netflix marathon as for letting peek out from above your boots, should you venture outside.

Iscream Tie Dye Collapsible Water Bottle ($18)

This 18-oz water bottle easily collapses so that it takes up less space in your bag when it's empty. This comes in handy when you're trying to convince TSA your (bursting) carryon is small enough to fit under the seat in front of you.

Homesick Premium Scented Candle ($25)

Homesick is known for its super-niche, ultra-nostalgic candle scents, like "Fall Hearth," "New Home," and "Ice Cream Parlor." The Brunch Club scent, now on sale on Amazon, has sweet notes of citrus and berries mixed with delicious Prosecco and tonka bean. We can just see the overflowing mimosas now . . .

BP Spa Puff Headband ($10)

It's giving Blair Waldorf meets GRWM. This absorbent headband is the perfect solution for getting your hair off your face so you can wash or prep your skin.

Let It Meow Appetizer Plates ($35)

You'll be the life of the paw-ty (sorry, had to) with these festive stoneware cat plates. The set includes four dishwasher- and microwave-safe pieces.

Minute Mimosa Sugar Cube Trio ($30)

OK, this is genius. Drop one of these flavored cubes into your glass of bubbly, and you've got an instant mimosa. Choose from flavors including citrus, peach, raspberry, and strawberry.
