Gifts & Gadgets

The easiest gift ideas start with something the person already does every day, like drinking coffee, winding down in a cozy bedroom or doing their makeup. Pick the gadget that fits that habit. With the winter holidays coming up, here's how this edit breaks down.

Under $20: stocking stuffers and white elephant gifts

• The push-down bottle opener pops a cap off when you press it onto a bottle, and a magnet catches the cap. It's stainless steel, in Silver, Black, Green or Colorful.
• The mini bag sealer reseals snack bags and opens them too. It's rechargeable and shaped like a pink pig or a brown bear.
• The facial roller and gua sha set is a two-piece evening ritual for anyone into skin care.

For coffee drinkers and coworkers

The mug warmer keeps a drink warm at up to 131°F (55°C) and switches off when the mug is lifted, which makes it an easy gift for a desk. The 26 oz insulated tumbler keeps drinks cold for hours, fits most cup holders and comes in Yellow, Blue, Pink or White. Both are under $30, so they also work for an office gift exchange.

For the bedroom and the vanity

• The sunset lamp casts golden-hour light on a wall and runs on USB power.
• The 3D moon lamp glows in 16 colors, sits on its own stand and comes in three sizes.
• The electric makeup brush cleaner washes brushes and spins them dry, which takes a tedious chore off someone's list.
