A sweatshirt embroidered with their favorite Taylor Swift lyric they can cozy up in while listening to an endless loop of Folklore and Evermore (crying in the bathtub at the same time is not required but also not frowned upon).
Emma Lord / BuzzFeed, thethreethirteen / Via instagram.com
A handful of us have ordered pieces from Three Thirteen and have nothing but positive things to say about this woman-owned small business. My fellow BuzzFeed editor Emma Lord (pictured above) didn’t have to do much convincing to get me to add one of these beauties into my cart shortly after hers arrived. The best part about this shop is that you can have the embroidery done on an array of items — sweatshirts, tees, hoodies, or a long sleeve. The quality is fantastic and I’ll be living in mine long after the next rumored TS album arrives.
Get the crewneck from from Three Thirteen for $40 (available in unisex sizes S–3XL, 10 colors, 7 Evermore styles and 5 Folklore styles).

A subscription to Atlas Coffee Club to bring aromatic, fresh beans from all over the world right to their front door.
Kayla Suazo / BuzzFeed, atlascoffeeclub / Via instagram.com
My fellow BuzzFeed editor Kayla Suazo tried out Atlas Coffee Club and only had good things to say:
“My first observation after opening the box was the smell. It smells FAN-FREAKIN’-TASTIC. It also comes with sweet postcards from the cities where the batches are from, so the entire experience feels so lovely and personal. As for the coffee itself, it’s heavenly. I am used to store-bought coffee — which yes, is fine — but both of these tasted incredibly fresh and different from each other. The Peruvian coffee has this dark, almost chocolate taste to it, so I imagine it would be delicious with a morning sweet treat (maybe I should start eating pie every day?). The Colombian batch, on the other hand, was a little lighter roast-wise but still had delicious notes of rich sweetness. TL;DR: both of them were incredible both in taste and quality.”
Get a subscription to Atlas Coffee Club for $9+ (available in a half bag, single bag, or double bag and shipments every two or four weeks).

amazon.com, Amazon
Promising review: “This thing can get HOT and even hotter with a lid! With a metal bottom you can surprisingly boil an egg if you wanted to. I bought this to replace my old Mr. Coffee and I wish I’d done so sooner! Even though it’s double the price of a Mr. Coffee, I don’t regret the purchase and I doubt that the plastic will melt like my old one did. The buttons are so easy to press, just a simple tap, not like forcing the switch to turn on/off.” —Jenny

A face wash foamer they can use to make the cleanser they’re already accustomed to feel extra fancy.
Amazon
Promising review: “This thing is the bomb. Does exactly what it advertises; makes a thick whipped cream/foam out of washes, making it economical as well as fun. It can soften harsh washes to make the concoction gentler on skin. It’s also great for mixing washes if you have two or more you’d like to combine for different effects. And of course, a little goes a long, long way with this puppy. For the price, it’s a steal. Definitely give it a try if you’re not sure. It’s a really cool device.” —Knock Knock Me

Promising review: “I’m normally bored by crosswords and word-search puzzles after a short time, but these have a twist in that you have to answer five Jeopardy-type questions in order to get all the clues for the puzzles. And they aren’t necessarily easy, although if you don’t know the answer, you can generally figure it out. I have enjoyed a number of the Brain Games series, and this is one of the best.” —Ginger Russell

A candle from Evil Queen that’ll literally become the *light of their life* thanks to the sassy labels and delicious scents.
Heather Braga / BuzzFeed, evilqueen / Via instagram.com
When I tell you I am wholeheartedly committed to this candle brand I mean it. I was first introduced to them when I discovered their “OMG You’re Engaged” candle in a boutique near by NYC apartment a few years ago. I’ve been gifting them to everyone I know (and myself) since. This small business is female-owned by an absolute badass who also writes poetry. My all-time favorites are the seasonal options — she recently did a “soft launch” of her Valentine’s Day collection with more coming down the pipeline, so keep an eye out because they’ll also make for excellent gifts.
Get them from Evil Queen Candles: Old Soul for $20 and Do Not Disturb for $25

Promising review: “This is my new favorite T-shirt. First time wearing it out, I received so many compliments. When ordering, I really didn’t know what to expect from the sizing, but after reading the reviews I decided to choose an extra large due to everyone saying it was kind of crop-toppy, which is very true.” —Sarah DaVitte
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in sizes S—XXL and in 16 colors).

A trio of lip products from Glossier to help them create the perfect pout for the countless TikTok dances they’re planning to film on their birthday.
Glossier
The set comes with a tube of Balm Dotcom, a high-shine lip gloss, and a Generation G lipstick.
Promising review: “So great that this is a set, you get three totally different lip products at a discounted price and they’re all worth it. I purchased the limited edition Wild Fig balm dotcom, clear gloss, and generation G in shade Cake. The balm is super moisturizing and smells great!! The gloss gives your lips the perfect shine and it’s not too sticky. The generation G lipstick is amazing, in my opinion, because it’s not too pigmented so it gives your lips just the right amount of color!” —Lori
Get the set from Glossier for $35 (Balm Dotcom available in nine shades, lip gloss available in four shades, and Generation G lipstick available in six shades).

A dip powder kit so they can perfect their at-home manicure (and hopefully learn to give you one, too!).
It comes with a base coat, an activator, a top coat, five color powders, a nail file, a brush, and instructions.
Promising review: “I was very surprised at how easy it was to do. I love that my nails are dry right away and that it is as hard as acrylic but not damaging to your nails. Looks just about as good as when I get them done at the salon but this saves a ton of money and is quicker. Definitely recommend.” —Lindsay Emge
Get it from Amazon for $34.98.
