## & Other Stories Rippling Wave Cuff: $49

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/11/rippling-wave-cuff-1543000459.jpg)

Because it's not a gift guide without a bracelet, [and this one is pleasantly unusual](https://rstyle.me/n/dcdxt5cfjyp?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). (The other nice thing about giving bracelets as gifts is that you don't have to worry about sizing them, the way you do a variety of other wearable goods.) - J

## R2D2 Mug: $21

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/11/r2d2-mug-1543000451.jpg)

First, [this mug is VERY CUTE](https://rstyle.me/n/dcdxvxcfjyp?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). Second, how much fun would it be to annoy your coworkers and loved ones by waving your coffee around making R2D2 sounds? Not that we're suggesting you buy any of these items for yourself.

And in a similar vein, this is for those of you who are way more creative than I am. [This version has twenty musical ladies](https://amzn.to/2DM8k1R?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), and [there's a feminist icons version too](https://amzn.to/2TNPGft?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) that includes folks like Malala and Ruth Bader Ginsburg. - H

(Bonus: TOMS just gave five millions dollars to charities working to end gun violence, and [portions of the proceeds from their other products go to charitable causes as well](https://www.toms.com/what-we-give?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).) 

## Breton woolen slipper, $84

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/11/384.0033_5062_1024x1024-1543285755.jpg)

Or, there [is a woolly Breton version from Schoolhouse](https://rstyle.me/n/dckawccfjyp?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) (these look teeny, but they are adult sizes and come in small, medium, and large). - H

## Claus Porto Mini Bar Soap Gift Box: $75

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/11/portos-gift-soaps-anthropologie-1543000438.jpg)

[These soaps are SO PRETTY and this is a crazy luxurious thing to give someon](https://rstyle.me/n/dcdz25cfjyp?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)e. (It's a very classy hostess gift; I also feel like if you're dating someone whose Mom has a fancy guest bathroom, she would love you for this.)

## Together: Our Community Cookbook

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/11/Together-Our-Community-Cookbook-1543000489.jpg)

This is the cookbook for which the Duchess of Sussex wrote the foreword -- she's been working with the women at the Hubb Community Kitchen quite a bit -- and it's ideal for your friend who loves her. [But it's also just a good cookbook! ](https://amzn.to/2r1ZrcW?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

## Everlane Day Market Tote: $175

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/11/Everlane-Day-Tote-Meghan-Markle-1543000320.jpg)

Beloved by Meghan Markle, and [now available in so many other colors -- red! Pink! Navy! ](https://rstyle.me/n/dcd2cncfjyp?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) (We put this in [last year's gift guide](https://gofugyourself.com/fug-nations-holiday-gift-guide-2017-11-2017?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) too, but people's enthusiasm for it is undimmed. Plus, RED.) 

## ReBe jewelry

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/11/rebe-gift-guide-2018-1543293773.jpg)

So, while I am not a particular fan of most of Meghan Markle's outfits (this is Heather, by the way), I do like her taste in jewelry, and enjoyed reading about the stuff they sourced for the royal tour. This company, ReBe, is not one of them -- but it IS based in NYC and similarly ethically sources all its gems. You can see videos or read stories specific to each piece on its page, and the prices are much more reasonable than you typically see: [The vertical pearl piece up there is $65](https://rebenewyork.com/collections/all/products/vertical-pearl-necklace?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), the [garnet cuff on the top left is SO cool and also veguely evil-looking, and is $160](https://rebenewyork.com/collections/all/products/garnet-eye-cuff?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io); the [jade ring is $65](https://rebenewyork.com/collections/all/products/royal-jade-signet-ring?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io); and [the long water-drop necklace is $38](https://rebenewyork.com/collections/all/products/water-drop-necklace?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). *Full disclosure: ReBe's proprietor is a Fug National (!) who e-mailed us about the company after the royal tour, and sent us some samples -- but we were under no obligation to include it; we only share with you stuff we really, genuinely like (if you follow one of the links, click on the pic of the packaging, because it's amazing). On that tip, we are always excited to promote members of Fug Nation, so please post links in the comments to your own wares for sale! - H*

## Large(ish) red clutch, $60

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/11/18waut_a0333_red-1543285654.jpg)

How cute is that? AND it has a dotty constrast lining. Boden claimed this was big enough for your documents, but the measurements do not quite match a piece of paper. However, [it's roughly 10 x 7](https://rstyle.me/n/dckgzdcfjyp?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), so you can fit a whole bunch of other stuff. There's also [a blue stripe](https://rstyle.me/n/dckufncfjyp?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) and, for $75, [a polka dot](https://rstyle.me/n/dckufncfjyp?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) or [a furry leopard version](https://rstyle.me/n/dckufncfjyp?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). - H

## Royal Tenenbaums Enamel Pins: $34

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/11/royal-pins-1543000467.jpg)

You may remember our friend Casey Barber from her amazing Hamilton pins ([still available!](https://shop.caseybarber.com/collections/hamilton?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)), but she's gloriously branched out, and you know you have a friend who wants [a wee pin Gwneth Paltrow in her most visually iconic role to pin on her own fur coat](https://shop.caseybarber.com/collections/pins-and-buttons/products/royal-tenenbaums-enamel-pins?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). 

## Always Stripes pin, $11.50

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/11/il_570xN.1422844887_cpvd-1543285491.jpg)

And while we're on the subject of enamel pins, [how about one from Etsy paying tribute to the official pattern of Fug Nation](https://rstyle.me/n/dckkskcfjyp?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)? - H

## Kate Spade iWatch band, $58

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/11/KSS0014_400_2-1543285519.jpg)

[A bit pricey](https://rstyle.me/n/dckfuzcfjyp?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), but STRIPES! Kate does nice accessories for Apple products, and you -- or a loved one -- may be getting bored with the boring strap options *they* sell. - H

## Breton sweaters

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/11/bretonsweater-gift-guide-2018-1543292979.jpg)

Might as well roll on through to some pullovers, eh? The top left [is a $79 Banana sweater that started to sell out yesterday](https://rstyle.me/n/dckkk6cfjyp?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), so as of this writing, they only had small and medium left. \[[Old Navy has a different one that IS widely available, for $36](https://rstyle.me/n/dckyu9cfjyp?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), and [a V-neck in 1X-4X](https://rstyle.me/n/dckyw3cfjyp?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).\] Below it is [a $58 cashmere black and white option from Lord & Taylor in sizes 0X-3X](https://rstyle.me/n/dckkq6cfjyp?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), and on the right, [a $32 one for any dude in your life, from ASOS](https://rstyle.me/n/dckyikcfjyp?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). - H

## Sequined Disco Clutch: $99

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/11/nordstrom-sequin-disco-clutch-1543000425.jpg)

This party clutch [is SO FLIPPING FESTIVE](https://rstyle.me/n/dcd2kscfjyp?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). 

## Marvis Toothpaste Sampler: $22

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/11/Marvis-Toothpaste-Sampler-Anthropologie-1543000402.jpg)

This falls under the category of[ Something Delightful You'd Never Buy for Yourself](https://rstyle.me/n/dcdzpecfjyp?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). 

## Laneige lip masks, $20-28

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/11/laneige-gift-guide-2018-1543285526.jpg)

These little geniuses are incredible overnight treatments for your lips. [The regular one is $20](https://rstyle.me/n/dckmqjcfjyp?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), but[ there's also a gift set for $28 that comes in four flavors](https://rstyle.me/n/dcmrzscfjyp?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io): apple-lime, berry, grapefruit, and vanilla. - H

## Faux Leather Foldover Clutch: $59

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/11/nordstrom-fold-over-clutch-1543000415.jpg)

[This is a really cool and unusual shape for a clutch](https://rstyle.me/n/dcd2m8cfjyp?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), and it looks like it should cost way more than it does, which is ideal in a gift. 

## Halliday Glitter Sunglasses: $65

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/11/madewell-sparkle-sunglasses-1543000393.jpg)

You KNOW you've got a person on your list who would [wear and rock glitter sunglasses](https://rstyle.me/n/dcd2g2cfjyp?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). Even if that person is you. 

## LL Bean Classic Moccasins: $79

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/11/LL-Bean-Classic-Mocs-1543000372.jpg)

Look, are we advising you wear these to a formal party or a business meeting? No. But do you have a lady on your list whose feet are always cool and needs something EVER SO COZY to noodle around in? [JUST DO IT.](https://rstyle.me/n/dcdywhcfjyp?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) Also available for [the dudes in your life who need cozy feet](https://rstyle.me/n/dcdzr6cfjyp?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)! 

## Stripey PJs, $88

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/11/KS91650F_977-1543285512.jpg)

I AM advocating that you wear THESE to a business meeting, just because. [They're from Kate Spade](https://rstyle.me/n/dckfytcfjyp?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \-- that company knows a good stripe pattern -- and they look terribly comfy. - H

## MacGyver escape room game

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/11/71sV-axRntL._SL1400_-1543285712.jpg)

So, I own this. OF COURSE. I bought it for Kevin for his birthday. But we haven't been able to play it yet, and it's SO FRUSTRATING because I am dying to know what secrets the mullet holds. Therefore, it's really possible that this game is awful. But I almost don't care. It might be better that way. JOIN ME. (PS: [It's cheaper at Target](https://rstyle.me/n/dcjv3zcfjyp?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), but possibly without [the faster shipping that Amazon offers](https://amzn.to/2r4H9b0?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).) - H

## Sriracha stout, $15

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/11/9681308450846-1543285877.png)

I can't lie: This sounds ghastly to me. But I also have hella basic taste in beer AND don't deal well with spice. For anyone else, this might be an amusing experiment or stocking stuffer or thing to smash against the prow of your new boat. [Price here is from Total Wine](https://www.totalwine.com/beer/specialty-styles/chili-beer/rogue-sriracha-hot-stout/p/145704750?s=918&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). - H

## I'm Dead, Now What?

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/11/A1BQBxm7RL-1543285400.jpg)

So, you drank the sriracha beer, and it didn't go well. What next? This title is funny, but it actually touches on something that Jessica and I half-joke about all the time: If the Diet Coke kills us sooner than expected, what happens to all our STUFF and who needs to be contacted and what subscriptions need to be cancelled? [This planner would probably appeal to a certain kind of person in every family](https://amzn.to/2r5WtEg?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). - H

## Motiv health tracker

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/11/81KdEkwcQL._SL1500_-1543285726.jpg)

This is expensive. BUT, people were asking about the blank band that Prince Harry -- ack, the Duke of Sussex, whatever -- wears now on his non-wedding ring finger, [and this is the one](https://amzn.to/2KA3I0g?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). When you order it, you get a sizing kit so you can wear one around for a day or two to make sure the one you pick is absolutely right, and it connects to an app to give you data about your sleep and movement and whatnot. If you don't like wrist trackers and don't care THAT much about whether it does heavy-duty analytics, this is pretty cool. - H

## Three-pack of iPhone Charging Cords

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/11/extra-long-phone-cord-amazon-1543000332.jpg)

The gold makes [this otherwise very practical gift very glamorous](https://amzn.to/2Sbx1ca?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)! But here is the thing: This is a GREAT stocking stuffer. Everyone needs charging cords, these are fancy, and giving someone the gift of being able to charge their phone and roll around on the bed playing Candy Crush at the same time is PRICELESS. You and your loved ones need an extra long cord! 

## The LL Bean Classic Boat and Tote: $24.95-$39.95

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/11/LL-Bean-Classic-Boat-N-Tote-1543000363.jpg)

We bang on about the Boat and Tote all the time, but TRUST US: [It's a classic for a reason](https://rstyle.me/n/dcdyrgcfjyp?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). You can get it monogrammed! You can fill it with other things, or just give it on its own. It's SO sturdy and practical and yet also cute. It's perfect for people who need to lug their stuff around! 

## Aquis hair turban, $30

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/11/40562985_042_b-1543285862.jpg)

[This is one of those moisture-wicking, frizz-fighting specialty towels](https://rstyle.me/n/dckqt6cfjyp?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), but -- as you might have guessed from the header -- it's shaped into a turban. SOLD. - H

## London Mug: $18

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/11/boden-london-mug-1543000310.jpg)

[This is perfect for your favorite Anglophile](https://rstyle.me/n/dcdyj5cfjyp?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). Oooh, you could package it with [Harrod's tea and be really thematic](https://rstyle.me/n/dcdyn2cfjyp?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)! 

## Herschel Supply Co. Duffel Bag: $85

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/11/Hershel-Duffle-Bag-1543000355.jpg)

This is practical, and handsome, [and a really good price for what you get](https://rstyle.me/n/dcd2ijcfjyp?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). (And everyone alive can use a handsome duffel bag.) 

## Coin Necklace Set: $48

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/11/madewell-coin-necklace-set-1543000386.jpg)

Delicate, lovely, and -- technically speaking -- [kinda like three gifts in one](https://rstyle.me/n/dcd2d9cfjyp?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). 

## Puzzle books

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/11/book-games-gift-guide-2018-1543285445.jpg)

I am an escape room junkie and a puzzle fiend, so Kevin gave me [The Maze of Games](https://amzn.to/2KyerrR?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) last year for Christmas ([try here if Amazon sells out](https://store.penny-arcade.com/products/the-maze-of-games-by-mike-selinker?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)), and I've been hooked. There is a wicked humor in each of the stories that precedes the puzzles, and you have to solve your way through in a specific order; to date NOBODY has solved the final puzzle. For extra money you can buy a hint guide to help, and guess what, I can't solve the hint guide EITHER. I haven't tried [Journey 29](https://amzn.to/2FJqyUm?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), and Amazon frigging sold out of [Montague Island Mysteries](https://amzn.to/2BzL8lX?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) after I already made this picture, but they were well-reviewed alternatives. In place of Montague, try [The Librarian's Almanaq](https://amzn.to/2SbYvhJ?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) (the early part of the description is falsely serious). - H

## Sleeping Queens

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/11/913XInWa5L._SL1500_-1543285776.jpg)

[This is a super game for kids](https://amzn.to/2r80oAE?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \-- the cards are so pretty, the kings and queens are all silly, and it stealthily teaches them basic math. (We are big on Game Night with the beans.) - H

## City Tea Towels: $18

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/11/City-Tea-Towels-West-Elms-1542996727.png)

[These tea towels are SO CUTE, and available for cities from Detroit to Palm Springs to New York to Nashville](https://rstyle.me/n/dcd266cfjyp?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). It looks like they might take some time to ship, so order them NOW regardless of when you celebrate.

## Coca Cola puzzle

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/11/916EchbaJeL._SL1500_-1543285790.jpg)

[This looks HARD](https://amzn.to/2E0gvIG?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). It's a mosaic of various Coke product packaging, which obviously makes up the big logo you see here. And yes, Diet Coke is represented, or else I would be enraged. - H

## Golden Girls puzzle

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/11/71E9-IRSNbL._SL1314_-1543292082.jpg)

[OBVIOUSLY](https://amzn.to/2S8L3Lm?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). - H

## Disney stained art puzzle

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/11/A1p6DJJWcmL._SL1500_-1543285416.jpg)

[This is also deliciously complex](https://amzn.to/2ScQbyg?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). Oh, and if you need a portable surface on which to do these, [I love my Jigboard](https://amzn.to/2RlPpz7?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), which they have in 1500 or [1000-](https://amzn.to/2Sg0zVN?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)piece size, and which is now the living space for the beans' Lego sets whenever I am not using it. There's also [a wacky one with drawers for the pieces](https://amzn.to/2FK38ya?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). - H

## Adopt a Marine Mammal: $30 and up

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/11/Adopt-a-Seal-1542995995.jpg)

This is so great! We learned about this gift from a Fug National who works at The Marine Mammal Center in San Francisco. Let me quote Laura: "We rescue and rehab seals and sea lions, and educate thousands of people each year on how they can take action for ocean conservation! We have an awesome program called Adopt-a-Seal and the proceeds all go back towards our operations. [Each one comes with a certificate and animal photo ($30) or you can upgrade and include a stuffed animal and/or book for a bit more](https://www.marinemammalcenter.org/adopt?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)." They are SO CUTE I can barely stand it -- look at this little dude!! [His name is Cueball and he's spunky! He was Animal of the Year](https://secure3.convio.net/tmmc/site/Ecommerce/2108794481?VIEW%5FPRODUCT=true&product%5Fid=1308&store%5Fid=1241&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)! Or these dudes with their matching stuffed dopplegangers; [they're FRIENDS!](https://secure3.convio.net/tmmc/site/Ecommerce/1461967571?VIEW%5FPRODUCT=true&product%5Fid=4629&store%5Fid=1241&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) Also, Laura was generous enough to offer a discount to Fug Nationals: Use GFY18 (all caps) for $2 off your purchase, if you want to adopt a seal. (This is good through Jan 3.) 

## Bitches Get Stuff Done Notepad: $15

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/11/bitches-get-stuff-done-casey-barbershop-1543000301.jpg)

Listen, it's just true. [For the most organized bitch on your list](https://shop.caseybarber.com/collections/notepads/products/bitches-get-stuff-done-notepad?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). 

## Shower Beer Holder, $15

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/11/10006288-1543285844.jpg)

Do I have faith that this works? Not particularly. [But is it worth a try? ALMOST CERTAINLY](https://rstyle.me/n/dckwdwcfjyp?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). - H

## Beaded Velvet Crossbody Bag: $59

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/11/beaded-velvet-crossbody-bag-1543000290.jpg)

[the first, Foodie Fight, is a quiz game that looks like it is a reasonable mix of knowledge](https://amzn.to/2KxK2tM?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \-- some easier, some VERY specific. It's like Trivial Pursuit but all in this one category. [And Jessica gave the boys Competition Kitchen for their birthday](https://amzn.to/2r8JWzP?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) because they love watching Chopped and Top Chef Jr., and it basically mirrors the concept of the former. We have a blast with it; I just need them to sell expansion packs for the proteins, veggies, and flavors (there are like a hundred challenges and secret ingredients; we need more of the rest).
