5. Indoor Cactus Grow Kit: $28.49 at Overstock
Cacti are fashionable and resilient gifts that require little care. A prickly pear cactus will compliment any home, office or classroom with its beauty and calming character.

6. Custom Face Socks: $3.49 at PetPartyCo on Etsy
Ever been disappointed with a gift you received? If so, chances are it was socks. Handmade by local Portland, Oregon, moms from polyester, nylon and “love,” these socks can be custom printed from any face photo and are a fun gift for the goofiest person on your list.
7. 4-piece Head-to-Toe Hydrator Set: $30 at Macy’s
Many would agree that a problem-free day in the kitchen is never guaranteed when it comes to the holiday feast. Give the one who does the bulk of the work a hydrating treat from Kiehl’s. This hydrating set includes Kiehl’s’ beloved ultra facial cream, creamy eye treatment with avocado, ultimate strength hand salve and creme de corps.
8. Scotch-Ness Critter Chilling Stone: $30 at Uncommon Goods
You won’t have to look hard for the elusive Scottish sea creature in your glass of choice, depending on what you’re drinking, of course! The food-grade stainless steel chiller needs three hours of quiet time in your freezer before it can come out and play.
