Favorite Things party picks. The ones people actually want to unwrap in a circle of acquaintances.
Socks, a candle, a mini waffle maker, a tumbler, hand cream. Mostly fifteen to thirty dollars. Nothing that requires assembly instructions. I curated twelve that fit the usual Favorite Things rules without turning into a second mortgage.
Prices as of Nov 2026.
