For the Perfect Host: Non-Alcoholic Agave Cocktails
Non-alcoholic drinks are having a moment. And even the tipsiest tipplers among us are sure to love some of the versions on the market right now. Like this four-pack of Non-Alcoholic Agave Cocktails by Parch—it’s inexpensive, and a welcome addition to any home bar.
We like the brand’s Prickly Paloma flavor, which is refreshing and citrusy, but other options are available as well.

It’s hard to stay hydrated when you’re busy. Fortunately, this insulated, stainless steel water bottle by Stanley comes with a comfort-grip handle and a base narrow enough to fit into any car cupholder, making it perfectly portable. Its lid also comes with a rotating cover to prevent spills.
An added bonus? It’s available in seven trendy colors. To learn more about it, check out our in-depth review.
For Someone Sweet: Rose Canning Jars

For the Happy Camper: Marshmallow Twig Roaster
This steel and wood marshmallow roaster from Terrain is as elegant as it is useful. Pick up a pair for a friend who loves camping, or cooking over their backyard fire pit.
For Someone Handy: Stud Finder
We can’t overestimate the importance of a quality stud finder. They come in handy for myriad projects around the house, and make an ideal gift for woodworkers. We love this version, by C.H. Hanson, and more than 30,000 Amazon reviewers do too.
For the Indoor Gardener: Air Plants
Air plants are hardy bromeliad plants from Central and South America that don’t require soil to grow. Just soak them in water for 20 minutes once a week and let them dry out. They require indirect but bright light. Use them in containers, globes, terrariums, displays and vertical gardens, or give them as housewarming gifts.

You can’t ever have too many charging cables. If you’re like us and still have a bunch of older USB-A chargers or vehicle ports, this cable won’t let you down. Its braided construction won’t break or fray after a few uses. We plug ours into a power bank when we’re out and about.
For Someone Who Already Has Everything: Gift Cards
Gift cards are a clear winner on any budget because you can choose the amount you’d like to give. Some even work across multiple stores.
