Jack Black The Energizers Skincare Set

best gifts under $100

Victoria Kuglin/Daily Hive

They may not get it for themselves, which is why this set is so *chef’s kiss*. Included is a facial scrub, body wash, and body lotion (all with natural ingredients like peppermint, aloe, and rosemary) so they can care for their skin from tip to tail.

Get it from Simons for $45.

BlissLights Galaxy Projector

Ninja Nutri Pro Personal Blender

best gifts under $100

Amazon Canada

Arguably not the most glamorous of gifts, this powerful little gadget is bound to be one of their most-used appliances, whether they’re blending up a protein shake or whipping up dips ‘n’ sauces for a holiday crowd. It’s powerful enough to crush ice and comes with two to-go cups and a 30-recipe book.

Microsoft Xbox Wireless Headset

best gifts under $100

Amazon Canada

Manscaped Weed Whacker Nose & Ear Hair Trimmer

best gifts under $100

Amazon Canada

Kiss snags goodbye, because this baby trims down hairs wherever it finds them without pulling, tugging, or (my worst nightmare) just ripping them out by the root. It’s waterproof, cordless, and has a run-time of 45 minutes, so they can take their time grooming.

Get it from Amazon Canada for $59.99.

Malin+Goetz Make It A Double Set

Jenny Bird Romi Ear Cuff Set

best gifts under $100

best gifts under $100

@boy__smells

Part of the brand’s three-piece limited-edition holiday collection, this candle’s got notes of moody cedarwood, rose, cardamom, moss, cinnamon leaf, musk, and orris. And since it has a pretty impressive burn time (over 50 hours!), they’ll be able to burn it long after the last gift’s been unwrapped.

Get it from Indigo for $62. Available in one other scent.

Ivation Wine Gift Set

best gifts under $100

Stanley Quencher H2.0 Vacuum Insulated Tumbler

best gifts under $100

Amazon Canada

There’s a reason you’ve probably seen this giant jug just about everywhere — it holds an absolutely massive amount of liquid (over a litre), keeps drinks at the perfect temperature for hours, and has a big handle that makes toting it from your car to your workspace to the gym and everywhere else in between a total snap. Reviewers really love that it fits inside standard cupholders, too!

Get it from Amazon Canada for $59. Also available in four other sizes and 17 colours.

lululemon Quilted Restfeel Slides

best gifts under $100

lululemon

An upgraded version of the brand’s iconic Restfeel slides, these deliver comfort and cushioning in spades.

Get them from lululemon for $68. Available in women’s sizes 5—12 and in four colours. Also available in men’s.

Commodity Exploration Set

best gifts under $100

Victoria Kuglin/Daily Hive

If you have literally *zero* clue what kind of fragrance your scent-obsessed pal likes, this set of 18 perfume samples is a sure-fire hit, not the least because they’ll get to try out a bunch of different ones to find the option they love the most. The brand also prides itself on being free of icky ingredients that can be commonly found in some cosmetics, like phthalates, triclosane, microbeads, coal tar, and the like.

Get it from Sephora Canada for $62.50.

Verilux HappyLight

best gifts under $100

Amazon Canada

No SADs here, folks, because this light is designed to help mitigate the effects of the longest, darkest days of the year. The UV-free light is full spectrum, has three brightness levels, and can be set on different timers so your giftee can customize their treatment exactly how they like it.

Get it from Amazon Canada for $52.99.

Vitruvi Glow Diffuser

best gifts under $100

Compact and cute, this diffuser can double as ambient lightning while scenting their space. It’s easy to operate, has two timer settings, and can fill up to 300 square feet. If you want to level things up a smidge, add a little pack of Vitruvi essential oils to the gift box.

Get it from Indigo for $85.

Kip Sleepwear Cashmere Socks

best gifts under $100

@kip_sleepwear

Blending decadence and practicality, these are almost guaranteed to not get regifted. Though they’re technically meant for sleeping, there’s no rule that says they can’t be worn on a particularly frigid winter day or as an end-of-day treat when your pal’s lounging around at home.

Get them from The Bay for $70. Available in three colours.

Arico Mini Round Pet Bed

best gifts under $100

@bean_bag_arico

Made of waterproof and tear-resistant fabric, this lil’ bean bag bed is a great upgrade to your pet’s current sleeping sitch. The shape will adapt to fit their bod perfectly, and it has a helpful handful that’ll make toting it from room to room (or into the car or carrier) a total snap.

Get it from Indigo for $95. Available in six colours.

Amazon Fire Tablet

best gifts under $100

Amazon Canada

This’ll be their one-stop shop for entertainment, whether they’re streaming their fave show, reading the latest bestseller, or just catching up on emails.

Get it from Amazon Canada for $79.99+. Available in two storage capacities and two colours.

Sodastream Art Sparkling Water Maker

best gifts under $100

@sodastreamcanada

This sleek edition is on sale right this very moment, so if you’ve been planning to give a Sodastream as a gift this year, this is your moment to strike. The Art is sleeker and more elegant than some of the brand’s other models and has an upgraded cylinder removal system, so swapping out the CO2 cartridges is easier than ever.

Get it from Indigo for $99.99 (originally $169.99). Available in three colours.

Foreo Iris Eye Massager

best gifts under $100

@foreo_official

Give the gift of less puffy eyes. That’s it, that’s the tweet. Seriously, this gadget mimics gentle tapping (coupled with sonic vibrations), giving their peepers a massage that’ll help with the absorption of all their fancy-schmancy skincare while delivering major de-puffing action in the process.

Get it from Indigo for $95 (originally $189).

Victrola Vintage 3-Speed Portable Suitcase Record Player

best gifts under $100

@victrolaplayers

A built-in Bluetooth speaker, carrying handle, and external speaker inputs make this a practical (and stylish) addition to any audiophile’s collection. Easy-to-use controls make it great for beginners, too, with reviewers adding that its compact size makes it a more attractive option than full-sized models (because we all know real estate is at a premium these days).

Get it from Amazon Canada for $99.99.
