Apologies to your siblings.
1. A foot massager designed to target troublesome areas with acupressure, helping them feel amazing before bedtime. It's incredibly user-friendly, allowing them to enjoy it while staying engrossed in their favorite TV show or book.
Promising review: "We got this for our mom who has neuropathy and her feet are always cold and numb. We've bought all sorts of things to make her feet feel better, like heated socks, foot baths, compression devices for her legs and feet ... nothing worked. So we were skeptical when we bought the Miko foot massager, even though it kept coming up as one of the top foot massagers in our research. We've been pleasantly surprised (shocked actually) at how much our mom LOVES it. It has an automatic setting for 15 minutes, and she just keeps pushing the start button for hours at a time! The combination of a little heat, the rollers and the compression all work together to give her feet a nice massage. She keeps things on the high setting so she's able to feel it. There are definitely less expensive foot massagers out there, but this one actually works, so was WELL worth the money!" —Amazon Customer

2. A Ninja air fryer is ideal for those who aren’t usually fans of leftovers but want to enjoy their homemade meals to the fullest. The best part? It crisps up your favorite dishes without the need for excessive oil.
Promising review: "This Ninja AF101 Air Fryer is a fantastic addition to our kitchen. Its sleek design and compact size make it easy to fit into various spaces, while its powerful performance delivers exceptional results without much sound at all. I've been using it for several years now, and I'm thoroughly impressed. The air fried chicken wings were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, without the greasy mess of deep frying. I've also used it to roast vegetables, bake cakes, and reheat leftovers. The results have been consistently delicious. Overall, this Air Fryer is a great investment for anyone looking to cook more convenient meals at home. Its versatility, speed, and ease of use make it a must-have appliance." —Ariana

3. A neck-worn book light that lets them dive into their gripping psychological thriller without disturbing your other parent, who's probably fast asleep.
Promising review: "I also ordered one of those book lights that you have to clip directly on to your book. I haven't even tried the clip-on yet because I LOVE THIS ONE SO MUCH!! It's so versatile. It is the perfect solution for when I'm up in the middle of the night and I still want to stay in bed and read while my husband sleeps next to me. Even when I don't have to worry about disturbing someone this light is still my go to when reading. It's better than any night stand lamp because you can focus this light directly on your book or other types of hands-on projects. I had worried that it would be uncomfortable around my neck but It's so lightweight I hardly even notice it" —Linda Holloway
Get it from Amazon for $17.98+ (available in seven styles).
4. An Icebreaker gadget that guarantees your parents always have fresh ice on hand. Just fill it, place it in the freezer, and once frozen, use the handles to crack the ice and pour the cubes straight into their drink! It's leakproof and dishwasher safe for ultimate convenience.
Promising review: "We have a small freezer and no icemaker and have been using fiddly trays for years. Icebreaker Pop has changed everything! No more leaky ice trays spilling in the freezer, (or on the way to the freezer), and no ice picking up weird smells and tastes from the freezer. Icebreaker Pop is self-contained and easy to use: you fill it up with water (but be careful not to overfill because it does expand as it freezes. Physics!), seal the top, and put it in the freezer. Once it's frozen, you lay it on a flat surface, press down hard on it a couple of times on each side to crack the ice, and pull it apart with both handles. You now have 18 cubes of clean ice that dispense from the opening, eliminating the need to touch the cubes as you add them to your glass. The cubes are a little smaller than from regular ice trays, but that's okay with us. Icebreaker Pop is also cool-looking and easy to clean; it's made up of three easy-to-separate pieces that are a snap to wash thoroughly. Very happy with this product!" —Leah Koepp
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in five colors).
5. A set of new lightweight wireless "floating" open-air earbuds that rest comfortably over the ear instead of inside it. They're an ideal gift for your dad, especially if he's known for misplacing his headphones—or for getting too immersed while wearing them during lawn mowing sessions (looking at you, Dad). These earbuds keep you aware of your surroundings.
These are a favorite among reviewers who run or sweat heavily during workouts, thanks to the flexible ear loops that keep them securely in place!
Promising review: "Amazing sound quality! I have owned many headphones, and none have been as good as these. There's always the problem with the in-ear ones that they tend to fall off, and the over-ear-ones are just too bulky or hurt to wear for long periods of time. And most importantly being able to wear them not only for audio but for calls too and have a good microphone. These headphones cover all of the above and more. They are lightweight, they don't bother my ears in any way, they don't fall off, they have a good mic, and no sound leaking at all!!!! Best purchase I've made! Now I'm tempted to try other headphones from Tozo." —Cliente de Kindle
Get it from Amazon for $45.99 (clip the $10 off coupon on the product page for this price; available in four colors).
6. A 64-piece iFixit kit, designed for when their most-used gadget stops working, and they'd rather fix it themselves than replace it.
Promising review: "Seriously, I have been repairing small electronics for decades now, over 30 dang years, and I will say this is probably the best deal and collection you can get for simple to even complicated repairs. It has a crapload of bits, but essentially everything you will need as opposed to the next larger offering, though I am still considering getting that for my dungeon downstairs. I keep this upstairs literally in the kitchen since a lot of impromptu repairs occur at the dining room table, but I have not been let down. This is top-notch/quality material and manufacturing. It not only feels comfortable but is also very strong, and bits do not let go of screws. It has a great deal of bits, too, 64, in fact. It pretty much covers all the phone and laptop screws you will encounter and even has some socket ones too. Nice touch." —Riboild
Get it from Amazon for $39.95.
7. A mug warmer, because on cold days, there' s nothing better than holding a hot beverage. This compact gadget takes up hardly any space and keeps their drink at the perfect temperature.
8. And a witty mug that will likely ignite a lighthearted argument among you and your siblings, but will have your parent chuckling to themselves every morning when they use it.
9. A portable lockbox made to secure around two beach chairs, allowing them to safely store their wallet, phone, and keys while they enjoy a swim—without having to keep checking on their belongings.
Promising review: "I bought this to take on a vacation to the Virgin Islands because my husband is super paranoid about leaving valuables unattended on the beach. At first, he scoffed that this little plastic thing wasn’t going to stop a thief, and I had wasted my money. Then he admitted that the plastic was pretty sturdy, and it was cool that we could secure the cable to our beach chairs, a fence, or a tree (most petty thieves don’t carry around cable cutters). Next thing I know, he’s storing his wallet, phone, and room keys in it along with mine. He laced the cable through other things he didn’t want stolen, like the bags containing our snorkel gear. Neighboring beachgoers asked about it and where they could get one, and he was quick to demonstrate its features. And when we got home, I overheard him showing it to his friends, with as much approval as he could muster. Hate to say I told you so...OK, no I don’t." —Patsy
Get it from Amazon for $35.95 (available in five colors).
10. A golf club cleaning squeeze bottle with a nylon brush, designed to keep Dad's clubs, golf balls, and shoes looking their best on the course.
Promising review: "I've been using mine for over a year now, and it is seriously the best at what it does. Simple design, but it does a simple (but vital) task. I try to top it off before every round but often forget. That's fine because it seems to last three or four rounds, no problem. Even if you do run out of water, it still works as a simple brush until you can make it to a conveniently located water cooler or fountain on the golf course." —Ben M.
Get it from Amazon for $4.15.
11. An electric heated mattress pad that will surely become their go-to item this winter—who wouldn’t want to feel like a warm, toasty marshmallow? It features a memory timer and 10 heat settings, perfect for when they fall asleep in their cozy haven, plus dual settings so each side of the bed can be adjusted to the ideal temperature.
Promising review: "I like all the things about this bed warmer. I had one in the past and got rid of it because we could feel the wires as we laid on them. Not this one. It works well. Just need to figure out what number setting I want. I also really like the timer setting since I often freeze as I go to sleep and then boil half way through the night. But not anymore!! :)" —Fairmaiden
Get it from Amazon for $55.96+ (available in twin–California king sizing).
12. A pack of Skin1004's zombie masks that your parents will have fun applying, snapping silly photos of each other as if they're starring in The Walking Dead, and then reaping the skincare benefits afterward.
The kit comes with eight Zombie Pack sets (powder and activator) and an applicator brush!
Promising review: "When you put it on, the smell hits you hard. As it is on your face the smell is not too bad and the mask tingles as it dries. Wash it off and reveal clean, smooth skin. Plus fun to take pictures looking like a cracked mess." —raine
Get them from Amazon for $24.99.
13. Brooks Ghost Max 2 running shoes—perfect for the parent who’s always on the move. If their 2025 resolution is to run a marathon, they’ll be thrilled to receive a new pair of shoes to help them reach that goal.

16. A heated eye massager with five massage modes and Bluetooth music, allowing them to fully unwind and relieve eye strain and headaches. Taking care of kids is tough—even when those "kids" are all grown up.
Promising review: "I saw this product on one of Amazon’s must-have TikTok videos and I knew I had to get it. It was so worth it — even though price may seem higher compared to other sellers, this is for sure a good investment piece. The quality is top notch, the strap that goes around your head is comfortable, and most importantly, the duration of each mode is long enough that it doesn’t interrupt your rest. I work a 12-hour night shift as a nurse and this technology has helped me get through the night easily. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $69.99 (available in four colors).
17. A Renpho percussion massager—ideal for your mom, who’s always complaining about the tension in her back (thanks to long hours at her desk).
Promising review: "I have tried EVERYTHING for my feet, nothing works and I am always in pain. It came, and I opened the box to find an UNUSED, BRAND-NEW massage gun with all the attachments. I tried it out and I thought wow, that feels AWESOME. But the true test is how do you feel the next day right? You cannot always walk around with a massage gun in your hand. The next day, I felt AMAZING. AMAZING. I used it on my hubby's back too, and he said he felt so much better today as well! In addition, this one is way QUIETER than my original massage gun. It's just really a quality piece. You won't be disappointed in this one. It really is what it says. I know it is hard to choose from all the models on the internet, but this one is the real deal. It's worth the money if you have pain." —L Johnson
Get it from Amazon for $69.99 (available in three colors).
18. A custom straw topper that'll add some fun while helping them keep track of which tumbler is theirs—seriously, please consider getting one made from something ridiculously funny, like a cutout of your face or Nicolas Cage's.

Promising review: "This cup holder is perfect! It helps me a lot! Last time I took a plane with a suitcase and a cup of coffee, when it’s my turn to check my passport and ticket, the coffee cup fell to the ground and coffee sprinkled. It was a nightmare! This time I bought this cup holder, it did do me a favor! I don't have to worry about where my cup and phone are! I can free my hands to do other things. I love it so much! Hope you love it too." —Philip

Promising review: "This has been a hit in my house. Makes the most delicious cold brew and is of great quality. Has saved a ton of money on going out and on pods I used to buy. I try to let it sit for 48 hours so I can dilute it with a little water to get it to last longer, and throw it in my dishwasher in between uses. Perfect!" —Jo
Get it from Amazon for$27.99+ (available in two sizes and colors).

Get it from Amazon for $35.99.
22. A waterproof Bluetooth speaker, so your dad can keep belting out Bruce Springsteen hits in the shower, now with a richer, more reliable sound.
Promising review: "I keep mine in my shower and I love the battery life on this. I rarely have to charge it, it is super easy to use and connects quickly to my phone via Bluetooth the sound quality is really good. Since I’m a total geek and listen to audiobooks in the shower the sound quality is very important to me since I need to be able to understand what is being said in order to follow along in the book. I love this product which wish I had bought it sooner." —S. Erb
Get it from Amazon for $37,77+ (available in 12 colors).
23. A Dracula-themed garlic mincer that's sure to make even the most serious chefs crack a smile.
Promising review: "I purchased this as a gift for my friend who is a fantastic cook — she uses fresh ingredients almost exclusively — but pressing fresh garlic is a task usually delegated. No longer — Gracula is there for her. She uses him nearly every time she needs garlic (which is basically daily) and months later still makes a point of saying how much she enjoys the gift. I'm pretty sure she likes it better than other gifts I've gotten her which were more expensive/thought out, and I'm fairly certain it's what took me from 'good friend' to 'best friend,' but it be that way sometimes. Anyway, definitely recommended for people who cook with garlic and have a sense of humor." —L
Get it from Amazon for $18.89.

Promising review: "These bowl huggers were larger than expected and do a great job of protecting your hands from the heat so you can place the bowl on the table. Very colorful and a great addition to your kitchen. Plan on getting a set for my daughter and son for Christmas gifts!" —Ljoy20

Promising review: "This seasoning is honestly my go to! I first found this company live on TikTok when they were showing the packaging process. I originally bought it mainly to support a small business but once it came I fell in LOVE. The bottle is huge, you definitely get your moneys worth. You can tell the ingredients are actually fresh and not processed. I have used my seasoning on so much but my favorites so far have been bagels, pork tenderloin and today I used it on homemade pigs in a blanket! I 100% recommend and will be buying more when I run out." —Abiagael

Little did I realize it would be one of my most favorite gadgets ever! I don't know if I realized just how many things went missing in my seat gap. It has really saved a lot of things from disappearing into that black hole. It was easy enough to fit into my car and it's soft! It's just like an extension of my seat, except it fits every curve of my seat! There really isn't another product that compares to this." —Tessa Forbes

You can even toss these in the washing machine for a deep clean.
Promising review: "After my husband sliced his finger on our mandolin I decided to check out these gloves. We are both very impressed with how well they work. The company who sells these is also wonderful — they sent a follow-up email to ensure that we liked the gloves and would have replaced or refunded our money if we weren't happy. The only thing I was concerned about when I ordered the gloves was if I was buying the right size. My husband and I have different hand sizes, but the medium is working well for both of us. And knowing that they would send a different size free of charge was wonderful. Now we don't have to worry about slicing off our fingers!" —That Author Guy's Wife

Promising review: "I expected to be happy, but I'm thrilled! Each mat is pliable and fits the entire width of my standard oven. When the mat is against the back wall, it extends up to but not over the front lip of the floor. On first use, pizza cheese and sauce dripped onto the front edge of the mat and onto that uncovered lip. The baked-on cheese and sauce slid right off the mat! Effortlessly! After I cleaned up the lip, I layered a second mat to cover the lip. These mats are so great that I almost want food to drip on them so I can show off how wonderful they are." —Artset Outset

Promising review: "I've been using one of these for popcorn storage for years now and recently have bought several sets in different sizes to organize my pantry and countertops. I love how closely together they fit so that I can use every bit of space. The lids fit tightly and are interchangeable between units of the same size.

I actually bought this for my best friend when she was getting overwhelmed by her daily migraines, and it made a huge difference! It's from Basic Vigor, a small business.
Promising review: "I can't give this product enough stars! I have suffered from debilitating chronic migraines for years. Prescription medications, while effective, usually make me extremely tired and result in rebound headaches, so I rarely take them. This oil blend is especially great for the days when I have a migraine, but am unable to stay home and rest. This takes the edge off the pain enough that I am still able to go about my day and do everything I need to do. I also love the way it smells. I sometimes roll it on my wrists just to enjoy the energizing fragrance." —Lacey V
