1. The ing Candle

This "This Smells Like My Vagina" candle from Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop went so viral it sold out almost instantly. Nothing says "happy holidays" like the scent of some Hollywood hotty's private parts (right!?). While her candle is no longer available, Amazon has some knockoffs—and who knows, they might smell even better!

2. The Indoor S'mores Maker

With this nifty appliance, you can make s'mores right in your kitchen, no campfire required! Perfect for any marshmallow-loving kiddos (or stoners with the munchies). Just be sure to supervise, lest your kid accidentally ignites themselves into a human s'more. Safety third!

3. Color-Changing LED Strip Lights

These bad boys let you change the vibe of any room. Stick 'em under your bed, behind your TV, or line your driveway to really get the neighbors talking. Seizure warning not included.

4. Mini Waffle Makers

Why buy dull old Eggo waffles when you can make tiny, bite-sized ones? These things churn out toddler-sized waffles like nobody's business. Just try not to burn yourself as you absentmindedly pop them into your mouth like popcorn.

5. Finger Hand Puppets

Turn your digits into a family of silly critters! Entertain kids for hours by reenacting scenes from Toy Story and other classics. Adults can use them to make hand shadow puppets on the wall as their Ambien kicks in. Sweet dreams!

6. Colorful Toilet Night Lights

These motion-activated lights turn your throne into a rainbow-colored rave. Perfect for those middle-of-the-night pee breaks when you're half asleep and can't find the toilet. Just try not to wake the whole house laughing when it turns green and reminds you of Shrek.

11. Hot Honey

Drizzle this spicy honey on pizza, fried chicken, veggies—anything you want to give a sweet and fiery kick. A bottle of Hot Honey is hotter than Billy Eilish's album sales. Just be sure that whoever you gift it to is a fan of heat!

12. Spa Headbands

These headbands are soft and absorbent, typically made of terrycloth or microfiber. They're designed to keep hair out of your face when you're washing it, applying makeup, or doing other activities where you want to keep your hair dry and out of the way (we all know how annoying it can be when your hair does its own thing). Lots of styles to choose from!
