Editor Quote: "I've used it three times since I initially purchased a pack of four. Once when my skin was fairly normal, once when I was experiencing some annoying breakouts, and once when I had a massive sunburn on my face. I'm genuinely not sure how, but the mask seemed to help with all of my skin issues." — Renee Rodriguez, staff writer and social producer

Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask ($24)

This lip mask may seem like a small gift, but when they open it, it'll feel like a big deal. It's adored for its sweet scent, ultra-moisturizing formula, and yes, the packaging is just as pretty as what's inside. Learn more about what makes it so special in our Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask review.

Editor Quote: "As for what it looks and feels like: it's a lusciously thick formula with a silky-soft texture and a glossy finish. I agree with our former content director, Macy Cate Williams, who reviewed the original Berry formula and said: 'This lip mask isn't sticky or uncomfortable — it glides on smoothly and feels very soothing on my lips.'" — MP

Owala FreeSip Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle ($30)

The jury's still out on which water bottle really reigns supreme (everyone's got an opinion!), but if you ask us, it's this colorblocked cutie from Owala. Learn more about what makes it special in our Owala FreeSip Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle review.

Editor Quote: "Beyond its aesthetics, I fell in love with the dual-function straw. What makes it so great is that you can either sip through the built-in straw (ideal for avoiding spills when it's full) or swig from the spout opening when you need a lot more water at once." — MP

Editor Quote: "Even though I initially worried the exfoliating granules might leave my skin feeling dry, I can report after a week of using it exclusively at one pump per wash that my hands feel as soft as ever." - MP

Spikeball The Original Kit 1-Ball Game Set ($64)

If they love the outdoors and a little competitive fun, Spikeball needs to be in their life (if it isn't already).

Editor Quote: "I love how easy it is to take the Elisa necklace on and off.

Opening the claw and fastening it onto the chain extender was smooth and frustration-free." - MP
