49 Gifts For Your Best Friend That Shout 'I Care About You'
A copy of The Book of Myself: A Do-It-Yourself Autobiography in 201 Questions if they've ever told you, "I should write a book one day," but have no clue where to start. This gives them fun prompts to write and reflect on the past, present, and future! A set of book-shaped sponges so their love of literature can make the task of washing dirty dishes just a little bit less miserable. Food residue, better read it and weep! A rotating disco ball diffuser that blends your BFF's two personalities of wellness and "Wanna go out tonight?" into one cute little home decor item. They can put in their fave essential oil and choose what color they want (it has various light settings and four mist functions) for whatever vibe they're feeling. A cold brew coffee maker so they can fuel up with a refreshing caffeinated drink while saving time *and* money in place of those all-too-frequent Starbucks trips. This popular device boasts an airtight lid and stainless-steel filter designed to keep coffee fresh for up to two weeks! An affordable cult-favorite luxury-scented candle that's giving Le Labo Santal 33 without the Le Labo price tag. They'll get subtle notes of jasmine, oud, and sandalwood — and a whole lotta, "Oooh, it smells so nice in here!" from whoever comes over to their place. Plus, a cleverly designed rechargeable electric candle lighter perfect for the friend who's gone through (or is still in) their Bath & Body Works candle phase. This flameless, windproof lighter makes lighting candles safer and easier — no more worrying about singed fingers. A customized pet paint-by-number to make them feel like a modern-day Van Gogh without having to actually know how to paint that well. Once they finish the piece, they'll immediately have a beautiful pet portrait of their furry best friend! A Frostbuddy, which any slow sipper will appreciate since it keeps their iced beverages colder for longer. They won't have to worry about ice melting and diluting their drink, and it'll fit most small, medium, and large cups from their beloved coffee chains like McD's and Starbucks! A buildable Lego cherry blossom that they can enjoy building with a friend (aka, you) or just on their own. Seriously, whoever thought of these just gets how much we all loved Legos as kids and ingeniously combined it with our love of flowers (minus the usual upkeep of real flowers, phew, thank god). A pair of "floating" air conduction headphones if they tend to sweat in places that they didn't even know they could sweat (in this case, it's the ears). These sit right over the ears, so they can still enjoy their tunes without always having to readjust their buds every 0.2 miles. And these help them be more aware of their surroundings, unlike other in-ear earbuds. A "Through The Seasons" Reverse Coloring Book, another edition of the original Reverse Coloring Book, and a fun way to stretch their mind, because instead of coloring in the lines like a traditional coloring book, they add the lines to decide the vibe of the piece. Reviewers love how relaxing this is and say it's quite satisfying to see the end results. A retro-style pixel art game Bluetooth speaker that allows your friend to create fun pixel art (using the free app) and watch their creations dance to the music. Plus, it can serve as an alarm clock, a retro game console, and a white noise machine! A teensy DIY cheese kit so they can make four batches of ricotta and farmers' cheese. Pair this with some wine and crackers, and BAM, they've got some yummy homemade cheese that only took half an hour to make. A pair of glowing lightsaber chopsticks to even make the Darth Vader in your life laugh a little bit. Easily switch these on with a push of a button, and now the fate of the galaxy (or their sushi dinner) lies in their hands! And a set of ceramic cutout soy sauce bowls that reveal cute little characters once your friend has soaked up the soy sauce in them. This is perfect for the friend who loves hosting a sushi night in! A pair of horizontal glasses so your BFF can lie down while watching TV or reading a book because plans that include being *fully* horizontal are their favorite type of plans. A mug-shaped ice cream maker — just freeze the single-serve mugs overnight, chill the ingredients for two hours beforehand, and with the press of a button, they'll have delicious, creamy goodness in minutes! This reviewer loves that it's super quiet, which is a constant complaint for those who have the Ninja Creami. A two-slice touchscreen toaster featuring seven touch-activated browning settings so they won't burn their morning fuel. Not only will they want to keep this on their countertop because it's so beautiful, but this toaster also has a clever crumb tray to help avoid messes and options for other things like bagels, English muffins, and waffles. A set of cat-themed tarot cards that comes with a guidebook, making it a perfect beginner-fuurriendly way for your bestie to dip their toe into tarot. I'm getting a sense that these need to be added to your cart immediately! A ring holder necklace so they can keep their beloved ring close to their heart (literally and figuratively). Reviewers who work in medicine and athletics love this since it secures their ring, and they don't even have to unclasp the necklace thanks to its clever and secure design. "The Secret Soup" — another version of the Magic Puzzle series that has gone viral on TikTok for its stunning illustrations and the fun, magical twist that reveals itself once the puzzle is complete. There are over 50 Easter eggs in it, and each miniature scene will make them feel like they're going on many adventures as they solve this unique puzzle. A waterproof "Charcuterie Safe" because they mean business when it comes to charcuterie boards. This allows them to do all the prep beforehand, so they can easily set up their IG-worthy display without having to do all the slicing and dicing right then and there. An Apple Watch stand if your friend wants to feel a touch of nostalgia in a world of sleek, modern devices. It's designed to work with their existing charger and adds a playful vibe to any nightstand, because who says tech can't be cute? A miniature book hair clip so unique and gorgeous that they'll want to burst out into a poetic song about how lovely it is. Their love for literature runs deep, like deep enough that they'll wear this more than once a week. A heated eye massager to help relieve stress and let them listen to their favorite playlist while they rest, thanks to the five different massage modes and built-in Bluetooth speakers. They deserve a little R&R for getting through the day, and this is the perfect way to help them get it. A set of light-up bath fizzes if they want to recreate the vibes of going out... just at home... in their bubble-filled tub. These are made with natural essential oils, shea butter, and coconut oil, so they'll still give off a spa-like experience. A personalized word search blanket that you can customize with their name and all the fun inside jokes that deserve to be cherished until you're both old and grey. The 369 Method Manifestation Journal so they can dive deep into identifying, setting, and achieving their goals through the Law of Attraction. This gives them space to write down their goals — three times in the morning, six in the afternoon, and nine at night — and manifest what they are hoping to achieve. A "Gracula" garlic crusher, which does a FANGtastic job at doing the annoying, tedious job of crushing up garlic cloves. All they have to do is insert the cloves, twist, and they're done. Whoever created this little gadget is a bloody genius! A set of rainbow wineglasses that are just as functional as they are beautiful. They can fill these up with some bubbly and add a sparkling touch to their dinner table and their kitchen cabinets. An Airplane Pocket tray cover because your jet-setting bestie knows the struggle of trying to squeeze a full-size water bottle in the seatback pocket. With the many compartments, they can keep all those Hudson News snacks, water, and their phone all in a secure spot without having to annoy their seatmates when they get up for the fifth time to get something from the overhead bin. A "huggable" squishy gummy bear night-light if your BFF wants to spice up their room decor with something that is bear-y cute. This sweet lil' guy also has a one-hour automatic shut off, so they'll be able to doze off with sweet dreams. A baguette-shaped pillow that is just the thing they knead in their room for the ultimate comfy, cozy vibe. Reviewers say it's super plush and you can use it as a body pillow, a napping pillow, or just as a fun piece of decor. A guided visual "breathing partner" since your friend needs a little mindfulness to get through the day or help them fall asleep at night. It'll guide them through calming breathing exercises and hopefully help them feel a little less stressed and more relaxed, thanks to the soothing changing colors. A little popcorn bucket vase for adding a fun *pop* of color to their coffee table or nightstand. Bonus points if you bring them flowers already in it when you gift it to them! A Renpho percussion massager if your friend feels young at heart but their body isn't feeling so young anymore. This has five speeds and five massage heads to target all those sore muscles from whatever activity they thought they were still up for. A personalized Stanley name tag since their big ol' honkin' aluminum cup wasn't enough to let everyone know that they ARE, in fact, the main character in every room they walk in. A mini donut maker perfect for the friend who will die on the hill that a sweet breakfast is better than a savory one. They'll be able to craft fresh donuts from the comfort of their own home and enjoy a sweet treat at any hour of the day. A pound of cereal marshmallows that will make your bestie realize how truly lucky they are to have you as a friend because a pound of pure sweetness can make anyone's boring Tuesday feel a little more 🌈 magical. ✨ Sriracha: The Game — it's a card game, but add a little 🌶️ spice. 🌶️ When you see pairs or sandwiches in the deck, you slap them to collect, and whoever has the most cards wins! This fast-paced game will have your friend questioning which they love more: Sriracha itself or the condiment-inspired game. A mushroom growing kit so your friend can feel accomplished by harvesting their own ingredients for dinner and whipping up a tasty meal with some sweet umami flavors. A teensy candy vending machine for the friend who is always down for a sweet little treat. They can keep this at home or bring it to the office so they'll always have a little sweetness during their 9–5. A flower press kit that lets them save their favorite finds from nature and use them as decorations for scrapbooking, pieces in a floral collage, or cute additions to gifts. Small Batch Bakes, perfect for those who just want a sweet treat without the hassle of converting those "serves 24–36" recipes into smaller batch sizes. They can flip through these delicious recipes meant for one to six people and satisfy their sweet tooth. A strap-in airplane headrest/eyemask to help them actually enjoy their mid-flight or mid-car ride nap and not wake up with a crick in their neck. Their seatmates will be thinking, "Wow, why don't I have one of those?" A marble board wire cheese cutter that'll be a gouda-ddition to their kitchen tools. Now they don't have to spend time cutting slices of cheese for their guests because they can just do it themselves and awe at the stylish marble tool. A fun BBQ rub set with Cajun, Memphis, Caribbean, Southwest, Beef BBQ, and Chicken BBQ seasonings that they can use on meat and fish. Not gonna lie, this is like gifting them a one-way ticket to Flavortown! A neon "SNACKS" sign that will have a place of honor in their kitchen because if there's one thing in life they love, it's having free will and eating Cheez-Its, salami, and pickles for dinner. A levitating planter to impress everyone who walks through their door. This modern twist on the traditional planter will have your friend amazed and happily relieved that it's a faux plant (in case they don't have much of a green thumb).

Experts Break Down the Functional Fragrance Trend for 2025
Functional fragrance might already be a part of your vocabulary if you light a specific candle to set the scene for wind-down time or have an emotional support perfume reserved for big events like a job interview. But for those of you who are unfamiliar with the term, welcome. The fragrance industry is in its self-care era, and the vibes are less date night and more 'me' time—hence the influx of perfumes labeled calming, mood-boosting, and energizing. In theory, these scents are designed to do more than just smell good; they have a purpose when it comes to regulating emotion. So can you replace your therapist with a bottle of perfume? Of course not—but it won't hurt if you spritz a cozy fragrance before your next appointment to chill out. Below, we unpack the hype around functional fragrances and explore whether this trend is valid or just aromatic snake oil (spoiler alert: it's kind of both). Functional fragrances are designed to do more than just smell good; they aim to influence your mood and well-being. 'Functional fragrances can elicit a specific emotional or physiological response,' says Frank Vöelkl, principal perfumer at DMS-Firmenich and formulator behind The Nue Co.'s Functional Fragrance (as well as Le Labo's Santal 33 and Glossier's You lineup). The emotional response in question can vary from calming to energizing, grounding, or enhancing your focus. The idea isn't totally new—this is aromachology, the study of scent and its psychological impact. So, you can think of functional fragrance as aromatherapy, just rebranded and tailored for everyday wear. As Vöelkl puts it, 'They aren't profoundly different [from traditional perfumes]... the structure and overall formulation are similar. The difference is that we are dropping in specific notes that have specific effects.' Functional fragrances rely on the close connection between scent and the limbic system—a region of the brain responsible for memory, emotion, and behavior. Michael Varnum, Ph.D., associate psychology professor at Arizona State University, says the science gets even deeper. 'Research has shown that scents can sometimes provide comfort and other times signal danger,' he says. 'For example, the smell of our romantic partners can improve sleep quality and reduce stress responses. And the smell of others' fear can be contagious.' He notes that both of these effects are likely adaptive parts of our psychology from primitive times to keep us safe and connected. 'Further, we appear able to pick up on cues that others are sick based on their odors, and this motivates us to avoid them generally, keeping ourselves from catching pathogens.' He says that's the reason we find smells like rot or feces disgusting; 'they're cues of pathogen threat, and disgust is a system evolved to keep us safe from this threat,' he explains. But when it comes to scents you'd find in a bottle of perfume, like lavender or sage? 'I highly doubt we evolved to have an instinctual response to [them],' Varnum explains. 'We might learn to associate such scents with various moods or states of mind through classical conditioning or through placebo effects.' So yeah, functional scent technically can work, but often because your brain believes it does. While Vöelkl notes that Firmenich does have classified internal data that they use as a base point for developing functional fragrances, there are currently no studies to prove the psychological effects of functional fragrances. But, then again, we all know the instant sense of calm after catching a whiff of freshly-cut flowers (or the instant dread of smelling your ex's favorite vape flavor in a crowd). 'While we can't claim the effects on mood to be clinically true, we all just know they're real because we all experience fragrance,' says Carina Chaz, founder of fragrance brand DedCool. 'It's like the moment I put on lipstick—I instantly feel better and refreshed. The same thing can be said about fragrance.' Functional fragrance formulas are designed around intent. But, as Vöelkl says, 'You certainly need both science and creativity' when developing one. 'If we were to create a fragrance that really is joyful and makes you happy, there are many different notes I could be using... It could be a gourmand fragrance, because, somehow, in subconscious childhood memories—like eating cotton candy—those notes can create a sensation of comfort and happiness.' Still, certain ingredients show up again and again. Lavender and musk for calm. Eucalyptus and citrus notes for clarity and energy. 'There's a lot of complexity to it,' Vöelkl adds. 'It depends on what kind of emotion or sensation you are looking for.' And while the exact mood-altering compounds in these fragrances are proprietary, the big takeaway? Ingredients are chosen intentionally to deliver on a feeling. Take a look at some of the most popular notes and blends below: For Stress: Look for notes like lavender, sandalwood, and musk—think notes that you want to deeply exhale to calm any negative energy in your mind. For moments like these, Chaz swears by DedCool's Mochi Milk. 'I call it the happy fragrance because every time I spray it, I instantly feel my mood boost,' she says. For Sleep: Go full cozy with lavender and warm gourmands like vanilla. Bonus points if it's a pillow mist. For Focus: Eucalyptus, rosemary, or grapefruit will invigorate your brain. For Energy: Citrus-forward scents (hi, bergamot) can give you a zesty little boost. Functional fragrances are trending hard, but let's be honest: not everyone's spritzing rosemary mist and reaching Nirvana. But it does signal a shift from its utilitarian role in masking body odor to expressing individuality through scent. 'I personally always believed that fragrance is there mainly for yourself,' Vöelkl says. 'But it was not necessarily marketed to us that way for many years.' Historically, fragrance has been sold as an external performance 'for him,' 'for her,' 'for date night.' But now? There's a clear cultural shift. 'Rather than being used to seduce somebody or to make somebody else react to you, they're developed to be something that solely makes you feel good,' he says. Chaz agrees: 'We always talk about the expensive fragrance you get over the holidays, and you don't want to spray it because it's so precious. It doesn't really speak to you.' Instead, she's more interested in 'integrating scent across your life… on your skin, in your laundry, in your car, on your pet.' With functional fragrance, the priority isn't luxury, but comfort. Go ahead and embrace functional fragrances however you want—there are no rules. Spray it on your wrists, layer it with another scent, or mist your pillow before bed. With aromatics, you have the leeway to explore your signature mood-balancing blend. 'Fragrance is very personal,' says Vöelkl. 'Who would wear a fragrance that they hate themselves just to please others? I don't think anybody's doing that.' DedCool's Chaz adds, 'We always say that we take the category seriously, but not ourselves… It's about amplifying [the consumer], meeting them where they're at, and allowing them to tell the story that they want to tell.' Want to create your own scent wardrobe based on how you're feeling that day? Go for it. 'We see people fragrance wardrobe-ing online all the time with our fragrances, mixing them depending on where they're going and how they're feeling.' says Chaz. Fragrance layering is all about mood and intention, so have fun with it. Jennifer is the former beauty editor for where she's testing out everything from the latest lip gloss to the craziest skincare trend sweeping the online beauty-verse. Her work has been featured in Allure, Byrdie, HelloGiggles, and more. When she's not swatching eyeshadow all over her arms, you can find the NYC-based editor scouring for hours on end for vintage finds, eating pad thai, and hanging out with her cat, Chunks.

36 Budget-Conscious Buys For People Who Still Want The Best Of The Best
Polarized sunglasses for people who know they can't be trusted with high-end pairs. These do a good impression of Ray-Bans *and* they come in a three-pack, so losing a pair at the park won't be a world-ending event. Ohora semi-cured nail strips offering a professional-looking manicure, even if your past at-home attempts yielded less-than-stellar results. Apply them like stickers, seal them under a UV lamp, and you're done! These waterproof strips will look and feel like a gel manicure and last up to two weeks. A hotel-style new duvet cover because your old one is looking a little tattered, no? Despite costing less than a room service chicken club, this microfiber cover has over 50,000 5-star reviewers raving. They say it's buttery soft and comparable to ones from high-end brands. And a set of extra soft "hotel" bedsheets with so many 5-star reviews (almost 250,000!), you'd think they were capable of permanently curing insomnia. No promises, but some people are saying they never want to get out of bed. And to complete the bedding trifecta, a set of wildly popular "hotel" pillows so you can feel like you're falling asleep at the Ritz. Reviewers rave that these are the perfect balance of fluffy and firm, meaning you can prop yourself up for a good in-bed TV binge. Plus, they're breathable and cooling! E.l.f Lash XTNDR Tubing Mascara, which creates tubing around your lashes to make them appear longer, thicker, and darker. The lightweight "extensions" won't smudge or weigh down your actual lashes and — best of all — they fall right off when you wash your face. Priceless! A cult-favorite luxury-scented candle reviewers love for its intoxicating and long-lasting smell (think: Le Labo's Santal 33). It has an impressive throw, meaning you can actually fill your home with its calming jasmine, oud, and sandalwood scent instead of having to stick your nose right up to the flame. L'Oreal Paris Bright Reveal — a new dark spot correcting serum that aims to be like a professional peel in a bottle. The blue gel uses 25% AHA, BHA, and PHA to chemically exfoliate and help reveal brighter, smoother skin. Expect compliments with words like glowing, radiant, and wellness influencer. A pair of whitening gel pens that use carbamide peroxide to remove stains and bring you one step closer to a movie star smile. With daily use, you can whiten your teeth up to eight shades lighter. Reviewers say the process is super easy and doesn't cause sensitivity, unlike professional whitening sessions. A Baccarat Rouge 540-inspired moisturizing body wash offering an affordable solution to your dependence on that beloved (but pricey) fragrance. Thanks to the notes of white jasmine, red currant, and sweet amber, shower time has never smelled better. A set of lovely silk tulips that look like the real deal but, unlike live flowers, can stick around for many years to come. Keeping a regular rotation of fresh flowers can be pricey! Spritz 'em with a little perfume and guests won't even be able to tell they're imposters. Synthetic extensions if you want to look like you spent top dollar at the salon. These clip-ins provide instantly perfect beachy waves with zero effort and minimal cash. With over 12,000 5-star reviews — and many citing easy installation, comfort, and ability to style with heat — I'm inclined to think these things are well worth the little you have to pay! A Bodum kettle with the same aesthetic sensibilities as the pricey Fellow Stagg Gooseneck Kettle but at a fraction of the price. While the Bodum doesn't have to-the-degree temperature control or regulation, it still has a large capacity, precise spout, and rapid boil ability (around two minutes!). Good Molecules Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel in case you've always wanted to not only drink the energizing tea, but also wear it. This cult-fave can help quickly minimize eye puffiness and swelling using its combination of caffeine and hyaluronic acid. Finally, your eyes can look and feel as refreshed as you do after a bottle of White Label — and for roughly the same price! An 18k gold-plated cherry keychain because dropping almost $100 on the one from Coach is honestly kind of ridiculous. Reviewers say this one is almost identical! The Wand, if you insist on drinking two-buck Chuck despite the dire consequences. This mini handheld filter could possibly reduce your wine-induced headaches by removing histamines and sulfites in alcohol, aka the stuff that can potentially cause a nasty hangover. It'll be like you sprang for a really fancy bottle of natural wine! Bonus: It claims to revive oxidized wine, so you don't have to toss an open bottle. No drill, wall-mounted amber bottles for anyone who wants the hotel treatment at home. At first glance, the waterproof labels conjure up an Aesop vibe, so guests are gonna be like, "OK, fancy." E.l.f.'s Hydrating Core Lip Shine in the "Ecstatic" shade, which reviewers say works as a very good, affordable replacement for Clinique's "Black Honey," the $25 "universal shade" that has a Shakira-level of fame and adoration. This $7 alternative is nonsticky, moisturizes with vitamin E, and melts onto your lips like buttah. A pair of Cushionaire cork-bottom sandals that are not only supremely comfortable, they're also an affordable alternative to Mayari Birks. The similarities go past just looks: They also have 100% genuine suede soles, so your feet are still treated to the best. Stained glass window film you might be able to pass as the real thing — at least at first glance. It's also the coolest version of privacy film I've ever seen, so it's worth it even if you don't trick your neighbors. A pair of stylish teardrop earrings similar to the popular Bottega Veneta ones, but for a fraction of the price. They're lightweight and gold-plated, meaning that even those with sensitive ears can enjoy them. A faux-sheepskin area rug ensuring the first thing your feet feel in the morning is fuzzy heaven. You can use this next to your bed, flung over a couch, or as an auxiliary pet bed. Yes, even Chanel the dog gets a fancy resting spot. A classic pleated tennis skort with...*drumroll*...pockets! Pleased reviewers have compared it to reputable brands like Nike, Aritzia, and even Lululemon, saying it's suuuper comfortable. A cute set of glass coffee syrup dispensers so you can pretend you have a personal coffee shop right inside your home. If the Seattle Space Needle can have its own Starbucks, why can't you? The kit comes with a funnel and package of labels, but if your coffee tastes are kind of niche, there are also two blank labels. A trio of hydrating lip sleeping masks that 150+ reviewers say offers a Laneige-like experience for just a fraction of the price. The berry extract and vitamin C work to moisturize lips as you go to bed, proving that beauty sleep is a real thing. A retro mushroom table lamp previously only seen in your wildest Architectural Digest dreams. Guests will ask you if you scored it at an auction; we'll let you decide how honest you wanna be (JK). Glue-on foam ceiling tiles providing a quick, fancy refresh to your kitchen or living room. Gotta love an easy way to add a "wow" factor without having to splurge on carpentry or remodeling. A layered necklace set with three classic chains — herringbone, curb, and rope — that'll elevate any outfit, even your dog-walking uniform. Thanks to their gold plating, the necklaces are hypoallergenic and tarnish-resistant, making them a great budget option when solid gold is out of the question. A viral "Soft" perfume rollerball for anyone who wants people to think of them and think "yum." Reviewers compare this $7 fragrance to caramel, lemon cupcakes, warm vanilla scones, and cotton candy. A set of thick velvet slipcovers to instantly transform your drab couch into something new and fabulous. Goodbye, stain-covered gray couch and HELLO new couch of my dreams. A beautiful tennis bracelet no one has to know is actually made with zirconia. You just need to decide if you want yellow, white, or rose gold plating — or OK, all three. A set of Dash ice cream-making mugs if you've been eyeing the beloved Ninja Creami, but don't want to drop serious dough on an ice cream maker. Like its spendier counterpart, you simply freeze the mugs, add ingredients, turn on the churner, and enjoy soft serve ice cream, gelato, froyo, and more in just 20 minutes. A multipurpose blush stick many reviewers note gets the job done just as well the $18 Pixi Beauty version. Despite the outrageously low price, it's just as buildable, waterproof, and pigmented. A spandex-blend slip maxi dress that's the closest you can get to wearing a nightgown outside while still looking ready for date night. Reviewers say that this fabric is not only comparable to a certain Skims dress, it might actually be even better. And a scoop neck tee offering the same buttery softness as the beloved Skims top. Bonus: This one comes in more colors than it costs. Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Anti-Frizz Serum that laughs in the face of humidity. The lightweight, argan oil-infused formula hydrates, smoothes frizz, and defines waves and curls with such ease, you'll wonder why high-end brands are charging so much.
