Personally, I don’t think you can go wrong with getting them the tallest apple pie I’ve ever seen in my whole life.

I am a contributor and former BuzzFeed Shopping writer based in Cincinnati, OH where you can find me curating lists on ~a little bit of everything~ (and adding a few things to my own cart in the process).

Get it from Nordstrom for $150 (available in sizes 5–10 and 12  birthstones).

Get it from J. Crew for $118.80 (originally $198; available in five colors).

Promising review: "The stand is beautiful. The quality is excellent, and it was very well packed by the company. I was hoping for a little more blue in the pattern, but there really isn’t any. There is some lavender, and I love it no matter. I’m very pleased with this purchase." —Katherine M.

This set comes with three types of kernels and five seasonings: buttery jalapeño, cookie dough, dill pickle, movie theater, and zesty cheddar.

Promising review: "We received this as a gift — and I hope I get it again and again :) High quality popcorn with really lovely toppings — it was like doing a wine tasting, but with popcorn toppings! We popped our popcorn old school, in a pot with a bit of oil and then sprinkled on the toppings. Yum! We've tried everything but the dill pickle flavor so far and while we like everything, our unexpected favorite was the cookie dough topping, Sweet but not too sweet and oddly sophisticated for something called cookie dough. I highly recommend!" —Marcy B.

Promising review: "This Lego sunflower set is beautiful! My daughter couldn’t wait to put it together. We received it last night and within an hour she had it put together. The colors are vibrant especially the yellow. It looks so pretty in the vase. Obviously it has no fragrance, the flowers are sturdy and worth the money." —EvelynM

Promising reviews: "Amazing crust, on point caramel and the apples were just the right sweet and seasoning level. The ratio of crust to filling was really good. The perfect 'not so basic' apple pie!" —Maxine F.

"That was the BEST pie I have EVER had. No matter what the flavor. Hands down THE BEST PIE EVER!!!! I have told all my friends about this amazing pie." —Denise T.

Get it from Goldbelly for $103.96 (originally $129.95).

Promising review: "Got this for my boyfriend for Christmas! So cute and just the right amount of distressed look." —Moo Moo

Get it from Urban Outfitters for $30 (available in three versions).

Promising review: "Such a strong scent and last so long. The perfect vanilla without being overly sweet and great for the fall season!" —Monali P

Get it from Snif for $26+ (available in two sizes and a version with a case).

Promising review: "I love her. She’s the perfect whimsical accessory for every occasion. I have deceptively thick hair so I was nervous that the claws being on the smaller side in comparison to standard claws wouldn’t work for me, but the structure of the clip itself makes it so an updo has still held up pretty well.  I’ll have 100 extra dirty gin martinis pls." —Ali

Get it from Jenny Lemons for $12+ (available in three sizes).

Ok, I don't think I have ever written a product review this fast in my life. I think I've had this for less than a week, and I have spent copious hours on my couch, bundled up under this thing. I genuinely cannot describe how soft this is. It's also *gigantic*, so it kind of has a natural weighted-blanket quality. The only thing I dislike is that I got this at the start of the summer and not in the winter, because this would be elite while sitting on my couch watching snow fall.

Promising review: "This is the softest, most luxurious throw I’ve ever seen. It’s super soft, heavy, and warm…amazing! I’m usually pretty frugal, but this is well worth every penny!" —Susan W.

Get it from Cozy Earth for $228+ (originally $171+; available in two sizes, five colors, and three other versions).

Promising review: "I love this crisp yet cozy fall scent! Perfect for the season!!" —Kevlvr1

Get it from Bath & Body Works for $24.95.

Promising review: "I am officially obsessed with these. This is my fourth color and I honestly want every single one. They are incredibly soft, cozy, and cute. Plus, the sizing is super forgiving, you can size up or down depending on how oversized you want it to look without it losing its shape. 10/10 recommend!" —anonymous

Get it from Free People for $168 (available in sizes XS–XL and 13 colors).

The set comes with houses for rosemary, oregano, basil, allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, garlic, saffron, bay, tarragon, ginger, thyme, parsley, marjoram, mustard, clove, coriander, sage, paprika, onion, chive, pepper, celery, and dill.

Promising review: "Very useful and practical, plus they look beautiful decorating the kitchen. Simply wonderful." —Deise

Get it from Levain for $69+ (available in two pack sizes and seven flavor assortments).

The kit comes with air clay in a variety of shades of green, blue, pink, and purple; a wooden modeling tool, acrylic varnish, a paintbrush, and a 8.27x8.27-inch wooden frame base for display.

Promising review: "This project was so much fun to make! The quality of the materials was excellent, and there were plenty of supplies. The value was very good and I plan to purchase some for gifts." —Carol the Crafter

The set comes with two types of extra virgin olive oils, a lemon flavored oil, and a garlic flavor. 

Promising review: "Beautiful and tasty! I ordered 16 sets of the mini essentials as gifts for staff and neighbors. I thought they made the perfect introduction to Brightland products and they did not disappoint. The sets come in beautiful and thick corrugated boxes making an excellent first impression. Then you open them to find art! With a special product inside. Makes for the perfect gift." —Donna H.

Get it from Papier for $99+ (available in two sizes, portrait or landscape, one or two photos, three mount colors, and three frame colors).

Get it from Baublebar for $38 (available in 29 patterns).

Promising review: "You won't regret splurging on this robe. I've had it well over a year and could not love it more! Going to purchase the matching towels next." —Cheyenne

Get it from Brooklinen for $104.25+ (originally $139; available in women's sizes XS–XXL and 11 colors).

Promising review: "My absolute favorite lip product! Nothing else compares. Used to have dry lips before I found this. 10/10. A little goes a long way so it also lasts forever." —ccsportsspeak

Get it from Sephora for $19.20+ (originally $24+; available in nine scents).

Promising review: "I've been eyeing the Beis carry-on set for a while and I'm so glad I finally made the purchase. The mini weekender carries the name "mini" but it's a max in function! The shoe compartment helps with cleanliness and there are tons of pockets inside too to help with organization. Perfect fit!" —Michael M.

Get it from Béis for $108 (available in five colors and personalization options).

Promising review: "I love this flannel, it is warm and cozy, the fabric is good quality and I LOVE that it is snaps vs buttons. The fall color I chose is seasonal and just what I was looking for. I ordered a medium, but I could have fit a small as it fits like a men's medium would on me. I don't mind because I can layer under and roll up the sleeves. The cut is still nice and not too boxy. Just FYI if you are looking for something more fitted, definitely size down. I have had medium flannels from Prana that were almost too small in the bust/shoulders, and I have long arms. This is quite the opposite, and I'm not disappointed!" —danidance

Get it from REI for $88 (available in women's sizes XS–XL and six colors).

It has over $300 worth of products in it!

Promising review: "The most beautiful advent calendar on the market! Super excited for my teenager daughter to enjoy it this holiday season!" —Dea Anna

Promising review: "This is a Christmas gift for a friend who lives near Yosemite. This my 10th Rumpl purchase for our home and as gifts. First purchased at REI years ago. It is my go-to cozy blanket always. I even carry one in the car just in case. Even our dog has her own small one!" —Margaret D.

Promising review: "Most complete kit I’ve ever seen! Includes everything you need for a complete mani even the LED light!!! The peel off base is a must too!! Have no complaints at all and will be an Olive & June guy for life!! The long lasting kit is equally impressive too. I got several sheer shades so I’m still getting a new shade every time!! I’m in nail heaven honestly. I love O&J so much that now I’m a squad member. I watch all the videos on social media and read all the tips. I do my wife’s manicures now also and she adores the products as much as me if that’s possible lol I will definitely keep using O&J in the future and keep telling everyone how good they are.
