“We bought one of these as a joke a few years ago, but we actually wound up loving it! It hooks onto the basin of your toilet bowl and a sensor on the outside triggers the light when you get close. Not only can you choose from a handful of colors (avoid red and yellow—they're creepy in a toilet bowl), but you don't need to blind yourself (or worry about missing the target, boys) when nature calls in the middle of the night. This one has 5 brightness levels and 16 colors, and nearly 2k positive reviews!” - Samantha Gordon

6. Secret Aardvark hot sauce

“If you're a hot sauce fan, there's almost no way you won't fall in love with this stuff. It's sort of a hybrid between a basic habanero tex-mex hot sauce and a Caribbean-style sauce. I put it on just about everything, but it's especially good on pizza and eggs.” - Michael Desjardin

7. This adorable LED cat lamp

“Honestly, I don’t even care that this lamp is a night light for children under the age of 10. It is adorable, and the colorful LED lights create an awesome ambiance in my room. Although this gift is slightly over $10, it is most definitely worth the extra $4. I want this in my stocking this year and every year (maybe I can create a cool light show in my home).” - Patricia Camerota

13. A tuning fork for musicians

“This one's a bit specific to musicians, but it's a great purchase. While digital/battery-powered tuners are great, the good ones can be $50 or more. If you're looking to simplify the tuning process and train your ears while you're at it, a tuning fork is the way to go. This one is the cost of a couple coffees, but it's sturdy, simple, and will clearly sound a standard 440 Hz A note after striking it.” - Lee Neikirk

Get this tuning fork for $5.99 on Amazon

14. This top-rated lip stain set from Sephora

“$12 for four mini Sephora Cream Lip Stains (our #3 pick for matte liquid lipsticks)? So worth it. This best-selling Sephora formula feels light and creamy on application and has great pigmentation. You definitely won’t need a second coat or touch ups through the day.” - Jessica Teich

Get the Sephora Lip Stain collection (set of 4) for $12

15. A delicious gourmet mustard

“I’m going to be pretty general here—but my answer is always food. I like the idea of sharing a special, affordable luxury with someone—something they might never buy for themselves. If you’re giving food as a gift, might as well get something that lasts. That’s why I like mustard so much, especially this fancy Dijon for under $10.” - Keith Barry

16. Socks that represent your favorite team

“As a die-hard sports fan, I deck myself out literally from head to toe in my team's apparel. There's always a pair of socks with my favorite team's logo on them in my stocking, and if I need to order a gift for a friend in a pinch, I turn to these. I mean—who doesn't need another pair of socks?” - Connor Whooley
