They're not only functional as measuring cups - six cups make up the three dolls - but they can also be put on display. I buy this for people time and time again and it's always a hit.
Totally Bamboo cutting boardThese bamboo state-shaped cutting boards liven up any kitchen or dinner party, and also serve (no pun intended) as a conversation starter. I've gotten several as gifts for people - especially as housewarming or relocating gifts - and they're a hit every time. And if you gift it with some charcuterie, even better. (You can even categorize it by region, like placing grapes in wine country.) The cutting board also doubles as art if your giftee can't bear to cover it with snacks.

Cuzen Matcha Maker starter kitThe best gifts are the most frivolous ones, and you could argue the Cuzen Matcha Maker falls into that category. That is, unless you're shopping for someone who loves matcha drinks.

They'll never be able to drink matcha any differently after getting this.

Masdio smart flowerpotFor those who struggle to keep a plant alive, try a smart flowerpot.

Then you just wear your wish. Simple as that. After I bought one for myself, I bought one for every friend who's into manifesting. (And since I live in Los Angeles, that meant I bought a lot of bracelets!) You can get them on Amazon, although the brand's website often has deals, so I'd check there first.
Eye of Love Matchmaker pheromone perfumeBuying a scent for someone can be tough, but for the scent aficionado who has every "it" scent already, try a pheromone perfume. Fragrance company Eye of Love teamed up with Patti Stanger of Millionaire Matchmaker fame to create the Matchmaker Pheromone Perfumes. There are three different scents - Attract Her, Attract Him and Attract Them - and you can also get an unscented version that they can pair with their favorite perfume or cologne.
The scents come in the prettiest perfume bottles I've ever seen; a gigantic red or black diamond. The perfumes also come in travel sizes, as well as in a massage oil candle. I was given a bottle at a press event in Los Angeles and the scent is so addictive, I've worn it every day since.
