## Ball Boy candle, $42

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/12/Screenshot-2024-12-01-114556-1733082369.png)

The existence of this candle is HILARIOUS TO ME. [But it is real, and available at Ulta](https://rstyle.me/+VoTOU-Nv7Xf6aG58ZaljRg?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), among other places. It claims to smell like "freshly uncanned tennis balls, vacation sunscreen, Prince cotton sweatbands, cucumber sandwiches." Should we take their word for it, or...?

## Madewell gold bucket tote

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/12/Screenshot-2024-12-01-105747-1733079480.png)

Do you need to cheer yourself up with something shiny? [This bag was cheaper over the weekend](https://rstyle.me/+FUlSY35eUKyhyS3wYBlDEw?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), though maybe they'll bring back that Black Friday half-off deal? If not, it's $120\. Splurgey, but GOLD.

## Art from They Made This

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/12/Screenshot-2024-11-13-202757-1732591291.png)

Abby Gardner of We Have Notes introduced me to this woman- and LGBTQ-owned modern art shop in the UK, which ships worldwide. [These swimmers are so retro and evocative](https://theymadethis.co.uk/collections/best-sellers/products/swim?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), like a classic *Vogue* or *New Yorker* cover, and [isn't this Thames print a stunner](https://theymadethis.co.uk/collections/best-sellers/products/thames-river-yellow?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)? [I wholeheartedly reject the pro-Pepsi messaging here](https://theymadethis.co.uk/products/pepsi-woodcut-print?%5Fpos=1&%5Fsid=a4c550c31&%5Fss=r&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) but I do realize it's perfect for SOMEBDDY out there (the higher cost is because it’s framed... and also the price of shame). Looking at the site made me wish I could browse the store in person, so maybe we can all put *that* on our list, too.

## Diet Coke rules

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/12/DietCoke-1732680925.jpg)

This is just to counter the pro-Pepsi messaging featured on the other slide. [The one on the right is under $12 at the moment](https://rstyle.me/+Fcfwx2WckSlwsnqUpfS26Q?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), and [the one on the left is under $23](https://rstyle.me/+vshEbkdplSLmPjRjnBLLog?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).

## Book Band with Pen Holder

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/12/book-band-1732591116.jpg)

This $5 trinket is a good stocking-stuffer or cheap-and-cheerful Hanukkah gift. If you know someone who journals but would like to keep pens handier and the book from falling open, [this little band will seal the deal](https://rstyle.me/+7mWGhWHaeMS%5F4BCY-Yjtww?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). Prefer a small business? [This UK-based Etsy store](https://rstyle.me/+zG38CvcE0BvpquhDZQuOPw?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) sells single-pen straps in a bunch of colors, including [fuzzy ones in jewel tones](https://rstyle.me/+k9QuSZEpcrh7cudrvHze-Q?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).

## Famous Plays on Mugs and Coasters

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/12/Screenshot-2024-11-25-192314-1732591414.png)

I don’t know anything about Perfect Playbook as a company, but this is cool for the die-hard sports fan in your life: famous plays from football, hoops, baseball, and more, sketched out on mugs and coasters and such, like [David Tyree’s famous Helmet Catch to beat Tom Brady’s Patriots](https://playbookproducts.com/collections/greatest-new-york-giants-plays/products/greatest-giants-play-mug-the-helmet-catch-2008?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). Want [the Steelers’ Immaculate Reception on a mug](https://playbookproducts.com/collections/greatest-steelers-plays/products/greatest-steelers-play-mug-immaculate-reception-1972?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)? Done. [Freddie Freeman’s walk-off grand slam in the World Series](https://playbookproducts.com/collections/dodgers-2024-world-champions-gifts-memorabilia/products/los-angeles-dodgers-greatest-plays-mug-walk-off-grand-slam-2024?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), as seen above? Gotcha. That time [Texas beat USC in the Rose Bowl in 2006](https://playbookproducts.com/collections/greatest-texas-football-plays/products/greatest-texas-play-mug-the-greatest-game-ever-2006?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)? Yep. There’s even one for [Bobby Knight Throws a Chair](https://playbookproducts.com/collections/greatest-indiana-basketball-plays/products/greatest-indiana-play-mug-knight-throws-the-chair-1985?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). Mugs seem to be $30 and a set of four coasters – all with different plays – are either $40 or $50.

## Do not NAB! (Or... NAN, or NAE)

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/12/bling-1733114926.jpg)

Banana Republic Factory has some good sales today, but even if you miss them, it's all pretty reasonably priced. These four items are all $18 until the 60-70% discounts go away. The left side: A [stretchy bracelet available in gold and silver](https://rstyle.me/+Nd9TojAVJ0uej0U4CgjtKQ?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), and [a triple bracelet](https://rstyle.me/+jk6urGqakmUDRRvJo5UC5w?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). Right side: [That funky necklace](https://rstyle.me/+hXtr3wJa-Al41Tfl0%5FBsmA?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) and some art deco earrings.

## Boden coats!!!

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/12/boden-coats-1733079918.jpg)

This is splurgey no matter which way you slice it. But Boden has some CUTE coats this year. [The solid pink one is down to $210 with its Cyber Monday code](https://rstyle.me/+8WRV79pObJi16Q7NLRi%5FBw?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io); the plaid one is still over $300, but no judgment, I don't know your coat needs OR your life (and at least they're BOTH cheaper than [the Kate Spade one I am currently hoping turns up on Poshmark in two years](https://rstyle.me/+fkdul9tKUZMak2hmX%5Fu%5FTQ?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)). The short, bright checked coat on the right [is also $210 with the discount](https://rstyle.me/+SJWyBVjF5lFP4XfpjIcMLQ?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).

## Murdle, $11-ish,

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/12/murdle-1732591326.jpg)

When I was a kid, the local bookstores sold slim books of Logic Problems, released regularly, that I would always get in my travel bag for flights. The Murdle series combines that with, yes, murder; it’s a book of 100 logic puzzles that ask you to find a killer. AND I SHALL. [There are currently four](https://amzn.to/4fsUC38?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), with a fifth due out this summer; [this link goes to the first](https://amzn.to/4hIs2vX?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).

## Hooray for Reading

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/12/library-1732662908.jpg)

I saw a young boy walking into Jersey Mike's wearing that [Support Your Local Library tee](https://www.boredwalk.com/products/mens-support-your-local-library-t-shirt?variant=18656682049633&country=US¤cy=USD&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) ($32), so thank you to that family and you are raising him so right! Etsy has [a retro sweatshirt version](https://rstyle.me/+G-izNunb5qE7cF5FWelgrA?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), ["It's a Good Day to Read Banned Books](https://rstyle.me/+BzrplIPH4dQZROdUhQDcLg?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)," and ["Read. Return. Repeat."](https://rstyle.me/+jHTJtzk-AhdWVh4arT2NVw?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

## Pocket Magnifier with LED

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/12/magnifier-1732591126.jpg)

Do you know someone who maaaaaybe needs glasses, but is resisting? [A compact pocket magnifier](https://amzn.to/48LnyRl?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) might be a handy solution.... or a nudge in the right direction. Look how happy that man is! Those are about $21; [this company has them in Fair Isle Sweater prints for only $9](https://hartzhoneyhole.com/products/led-pocket-magnifier?variant=47912271577399&country=US¤cy=USD&utm%5Fmedium=product%5Fsync&utm%5Fsource=google&utm%5Fcontent=sag%5Forganic&utm%5Fcampaign=sag%5Forganic&srsltid=AfmBOopggQWDTllo-1-719GMoCvHR3ax%5FFqmYCIFC9zQ7bi49S7-HI5dNYw), though there aren’t any reviews, so do with that what you will.

## Cassette Spine Mugs

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/12/80s-cassettet-mug-1732591132.jpg)

If cassettes are in with Kids Today, then we might as well lean in. [This well-reviewed Etsy store](https://rstyle.me/+MfyQgOuf%5F47xFr-HLdXAVg?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) sells a mug with the spines of classic ‘80s soundtracks for $15ish, but obviously you can find a ton on there with other designs. Or, this store has one with [Prince spines](https://mtervodesign.com/products/prince-albums-cassette-collection-retro-accent-mug?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), and [one with U2](https://mtervodesign.com/products/u2-albums-cassette-retro-collection-accent-mug?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), each for $27 -- but said that they'll make custom ones if people provide the name of the artist/band they want.

## Watch Hockey, Get Drunk

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/12/watch-hockey-get-drunk-1732591140.jpg)

The mere existence of this game cracks me up. The rules are simple: Watch hockey, [and thanks to some cards in your hand](https://amzn.to/3UPx28o?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), get drunk (I realize sometimes people don't NEED the help of cards). There’s a version for [baseball](https://amzn.to/3UOMtO2?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) and [football](https://amzn.to/3YN23uH?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) as well. A terrible idea but also potentially pretty funny. Unless you are the one drinking.

## Tiny Portable Screen Cleaners That Look Like Macarons

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/12/screen-cleaner-1732591149.jpg)

These are another cute little something silly, which can clip to the inside of your purse, and be available anytime you need to de-smudge your screens. [They’re currently $7 for 8 on Amazon](https://amzn.to/4hNOaoF?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), which is a sweet deal, but shipping isn’t fast.

## Go to Hell

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/12/go-to-hell-1732591200.jpg)

For the travel book aficionado in your life. In 2021, Erika Engelhaupt turned NatGeo’s Gory Details blog [into a book about weird and gross fun facts and little-known details about the world around us](https://amzn.to/4hEYf7o?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). This year, she added [*Go to Hell*](https://amzn.to/4fOwZBP?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), a book that explores different cultures’ beliefs and views about hell as a concept, via travel through landmarks like Hell, Michigan; China's Fengdu City of Ghosts; and the Mayan portals to hell on the Yucatan. If America itself is turning into a hellscape, might as well learn about the rest, right? -- H

## SJP Tote at Target

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/12/Screenshot-2024-12-01-111411-1733080460.png)

Did you know Sarah Jessica Parker has a small collab with Target?!? I missed this somehow. It's a very small collection; this shoe print foldable tote is the most noteworthy to me, at $40. There is also [a $150 hard-shell suitcase](https://rstyle.me/+UkPKjNVqq-133qmYqHKphA?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), if you're in the market for one. (The rest is just unspecial travel bags in black and pink.)

## Puzzles!

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/12/puzzles-1732591208.jpg)

Galison sells some lovely winter-themed puzzles, like [autumn in New York](https://amzn.to/4fpL4Wu?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) and [Christmas in London](https://amzn.to/3Os4SNf?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), but they also have [a Surprise Puzzle](https://amzn.to/48QvFMc?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) where you don’t get a picture of what the middle will be and have to do it blind. I PREFER not using a picture when I’m doing puzzles because I like the challenge, so I am a special breed of psycho; this is tiptoeing in that direction. They’re all about $18 right now.

## J. Crew PJs

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/12/Screenshot-2024-12-01-102249-1733077442.png)

Hooray for holiday sales! These PJs, which run up to 3X, are also available in red AND in [blue and white stripe](https://rstyle.me/+fzMjkfXZ94A0RW2hhwKEoA?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) (!), but those two are on final sale-- but blue is GREAT, there's also black, and [the price is very right](https://rstyle.me/+6ml2OH9%5Ff0KWy2gbLOeEkg?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). ($36.50 for the set if you get them on Cyber Monday.) There's also a fabulous red flannel set for under $50.

## NodPod

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/12/Nodpod_-_Brooklyn_7658-1732591109.webp)

Sleep is hard to come by right now for many of us. My niece, Noted GFY Intern C, swears by this eye mask, which the company says is like a weighted blanket for your face; it comes in lots of colors, [including one named Chianti](https://rstyle.me/+ScXRk%5FpnmmOQcosEXYEpPQ?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), so MAYBE it’s also like a WINE CARDIGAN for your face. The original fuzzy one is $34, but it goes up from there [if you’re schmancy and you want silk](https://rstyle.me/+x93c2vW1jVV3DrwyuC469w?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) (fuzzy sounds comfier to me).

## Wine cardigans

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/12/cardigans-1733101179.jpg)

Speaking of wine cardigans! (So named for Olivia Pope -- you could also call it a popcorn cardigan, as that was the other thing she consumed while curled up in something comfy.) Top left is [Quince's soft but relatively inexpensive cashmere](https://rstyle.me/+yxhf3xTnUebgDlC0Jwk5KQ?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io); it's not available above an XL, though [they have a buttoned cardi that goes up to 3X](https://rstyle.me/+MH5p4BrHTIvxZeYF1lUDtA?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). The other two up there are Nordstrom: [Top middle is $100 and goes to XXL, in a few colors](https://rstyle.me/+gFKtrnPFQgu38oJ4yPSwKQ?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), and top right is Land's End, [under $50 today ant $80 normally](https://rstyle.me/+YsX0lQZoAUr%5FZQWQAsiwUA?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). [The waterfall style on the bottom left is marked down from $59](https://rstyle.me/+32tuHZ5mmFMnzqga2YX3wg?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) and is only in 1X to 3X. Bottom middle is at Nordstrom in 16W to 22W, and [the black one with the sparkle is Vince Camuto](https://rstyle.me/+aKDyWyomAqKqRnAxtXlmmg?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). Sizes 1X to 3X are 64% off of $99 on Cyber Monday, and

## Camp Lights

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/12/Screenshot-2024-11-13-201230-1732591262.png)

This funky little round light [is ALSO the case for a 33-foot retractable string of fairy lights](https://thebettercamper.com/products/4-in-1-lamp?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), which you can use to bedeck your campsite. If I were a camper, I’d think this looked SO fun, but my idea of roughing it is not getting to use my own favored pillow. Luckily I know a few who might be able to test this for me, *ahem*, Intern C.

## Goodr Sunglasses

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/12/Goodr-1732593458.jpg)

These whimsical shades are easy to shop for – they break it down by shape and head sizes – and comfortable to wear. I have a Canada-themed pair that I love; they’re gone, but there are some fun ones instead, like [Swirls Martini, Becomes Icon](https://goodr.com/products/swirls-martini-becomes-icon?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) (bottom left, $25) , [a whole *Back to the Future* themed collection](https://goodr.com/collections/back-to-the-future?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) that is a little pricier but also hilariously on-point (top two), [three *Saved By The Bell* pieces](https://goodr.com/collections/saved-by-the-bell?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) (bottom right), and [a National Parks collection](https://goodr.com/collections/national-park-foundation?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) (these are about $30 each). -- H

## Christina Ricci Tarot Deck, $30

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/12/Ricci-West-Elm-1732593741.jpg)

If you’re having an occult moment right now, AND a Christina Ricci moment, this is for you. Ricci [did a special tarot deck with West Elm for some reason](https://rstyle.me/+qpSmJLY6QwvfuhRZBJCP7Q?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) that’s basically all sketches… of her. ([I had this deck](https://magick.com/products/medieval-scapini-tarot-deck-by-scapini-luigi?variant=21145012961339&country=US¤cy=USD&utm%5Fmedium=product%5Fsync&utm%5Fsource=google&utm%5Fcontent=sag%5Forganic&utm%5Fcampaign=sag%5Forganic&gad%5Fsource=1&gclid=CjwKCAiA3ZC6BhBaEiwAeqfvypyF-3sO8YSlR348PNu2cSXlncgG8ZCy2%5FJYOrq9qRSIIMRHdm6hiRoCdDYQAvD%5FBwE) when I was younger, or one very like it, and it disappeared over the years. Why do I still have dumb junk but not the fun stuff???)

## Gola sneakers

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/12/Screenshot-2024-12-01-180234-1733104984.png)

Another splurge, and also in shiny gold! [These $125 Golas](https://rstyle.me/+SZrGmhaieo3JjFNKhtTSTQ?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) are a lovely way to jazz up your shoe game without jamming your feet into heels.

## Guess Who?

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/12/Screenshot-2024-12-01-182420-1733106276.png)

SOMEBODY MADE GUESS WHO, BUT WITH 90210 CHARACTERS. [THIS IS NOT A DRILL](https://rstyle.me/+cvUilS%5FSy0piG7f5XpCX4g?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).

## London Sock Exchange

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/12/London-Sock-Exchange-1732594070.jpg)

I love goofy socks, and these $16 pairs are very specific, from [the track & field design](https://thelondonsockexchange.net/en-us/collections/sporting-heroes/products/the-track?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), to other sports like [bowling](https://thelondonsockexchange.net/en-us/collections/sporting-heroes/products/the-strike?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) and [cricket](https://thelondonsockexchange.net/en-us/collections/sporting-heroes/products/the-opener?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), to [a James Bond variety set](https://thelondonsockexchange.net/en-us/products/the-goldfinger-collection?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) (5 for $80), to [Queen socks](https://thelondonsockexchange.net/en-us/collections/queen?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) (6 for $85) – by which I mean, the band. This is not an INEXPENSIVE sock gift, but [neither are Bombas, really](https://rstyle.me/+rfmyu71djFpBEY7zPoftwA?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), and can you live without tiny Freddie Mercury or Brian May on your ankle? CAN YOU?

## Larissa Loden jewelry

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/12/larissa-Loden-1732596534.jpg)

Obviously I am In a Mood these days, so [these "fuck" script studs](https://larissaloden.com/products/fuck-stud-earrings?variant=42393785073837&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) ($50) -- and [the matching ring here shown](https://larissaloden.com/collections/rings/products/fuck-ring?variant=42281410396333&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) ($95) next to another great one, and [bracelet ($60)](https://larissaloden.com/collections/best-sellers/products/nope-stud-earrings?variant=42396934701229&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \-- are appealing. But look at [that great malachite ring](https://larissaloden.com/collections/rings/products/malachite-ring?variant=43558187040941&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) ($58), and [those earrings](https://larissaloden.com/collections/earrings/products/alta-earrings?variant=40118257025197&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) ($38), and [all the hilariously kitschy enamel studs](https://larissaloden.com/collections/earrings?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) (butter, olives, corn dogs, [cleavers](https://larissaloden.com/collections/best-sellers/products/cleaver-studs?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)), and [the Shitshow bracelet](https://larissaloden.com/collections/bracelets/products/shit-show-script-bracelet?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), and... well, I love it all.

## 30 Second Dance Party

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/12/51QfhX0FPDL._AC_SL1000_-1732596969.jpg)

[This is exactly what it sounds like](https://amzn.to/4eM0OlE?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). If this is the only time you have to relieve stress, then dammit, take those thirty seconds. Take them twice. Take them THRICE.

## Martha on the Mantel

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/12/Screenshot-2024-11-25-212057-1732598480.png)

Who needs Elf on the Shelf, freaking out everyone with its beady little gaze, when for the semi-insane price of roughly $40 you could have [Martha on the Mantel](https://amzn.to/3B1Y31z?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) silently judging? Sure, she's smiling, but she doesn't mean it. Not fully. Nor would we want her to. Amusingly, despite being a pretty bad likeness, this sold by Martha herself.

## Yet more socks

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/12/more-socks-1732661762.jpg)

I can't resist whimsical socks. Also, they're small and easy to wrap. These are, wait for it, [David Toewie](https://www.chattyfeet.us/products/character-socks-music-gifts-david-toewie?utm%5Fsource=Google%5FUSA&utm%5Fmedium=cpc&utm%5Fcampaign=PM-USA-NEW&dynamic%5Fid=&gad%5Fsource=1&gclid=CjwKCAiA3ZC6BhBaEiwAeqfvyvSEGBcpnohAR4h94chgQhfSNvNZPIL1x2SCzAllhU0PcE1hi7WJDxoC59YQAvD%5FBwE#!) and [Eltoe John](https://www.chattyfeet.us/products/funny-dress-socks-musician-eltoe-john?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) (both $13). (This is the same company that makes a Kate Middletoe sock that I'm pretty sure we've featured before. They still sell it, but ironically, only in a box with the three others.)

## Trivet Tree

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/12/Screenshot-2024-12-01-114316-1733082215.png)

I am fascinated by these, which The Almighty Algorithm served up to me. They're little trivet trees. You pluck one off when you need it for a hot dish; otherwise it just looks like a cute decoration. Amazon has a bajillion of them, and they all seem fairly highly rated. [This one comes in a lighter wood as well](https://amzn.to/4ih0hLa?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) and right now is around $32.

## The Cat Mitt Game

I assume the game title speaks for itself: You have to deal with small, fussy things while wearing cat mittens. But it looks like a very simple good time -- we love to play games on Christmas Day, and the fewer complex rules the better -- and [also it's worth a click just to see the facial expressions on the models](https://amzn.to/49itcKN?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). Er, sorry, "totally real game players." Amazon has it for around $25 right now.

SOMEONE in your life probably needs a flask, and [doubly so one with Dolly Parton on it](https://rstyle.me/+djxdLyEmKa1YWsrwPT%5FmGA?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). This one is $38 at Wolf & Badger.

## WWF donations

I'm sure you don't feel GREAT about where the environment is going either. The World Wildlife Fund doesn't "sell" stuff, per se; it sends it to you free for a set donation -- usually around $60 -- which will be at least partly tax deductible to you. [The animal adoptions](https://gifts.worldwildlife.org/gift-center/gifts/Species-Adoptions?sort=2&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), like [this Emperor Penguin](https://gifts.worldwildlife.org/gift-center/gifts/species-adoptions/emperor-penguin?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) or [the endangered Red Panda](https://gifts.worldwildlife.org/gift-center/gifts/species-adoptions/red-panda?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) can be $25 if you don't want the free gift. Otherwise, they have all KINDS of stuff: plushies galore, some [lovely tea towels](https://gifts.worldwildlife.org/gift-center/gifts/more/tea-towel-set?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), and [this hella charming owl fruit bowl](https://gifts.worldwildlife.org/gift-center/gifts/more/owl-fruit-bowl?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).

## Rifle Paper Co. miscellany

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/12/rifle-paper-co-1733083488.jpg)

Rifle is obviously great for pens and organizers and, yes, paper (and OMG the binder clips!), but there's so much more. [The 5x7 photo frame is so cheerful](https://rstyle.me/+S4Ci0-7S19s8nkdNo-I-Uw?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). That [Apple Watch band](https://rstyle.me/+WaMBlVsZZdJmua-9CPtEOg?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) is so much cuter than anything Apple actually sells (I will never understand that). The [packing cubes on the bottom left](https://rstyle.me/+uSBZvqByBdTb5h4ByWwOhw?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) are gorgeous and come with their own mesh laundry bag as well. And I love [that vase](https://rstyle.me/+pghBb-w%5Fc2nGC3VPtxASNQ?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). And as of this writing, ALL were on sale for around $30 or even below.

## Shokz Open-Ear Headphones

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/12/Screenshot-2024-12-01-174308-1733103806.png)

Earbuds make my ears miserable, and also fall out while I'm exercising, and I've ruined too many over-ear headphones with my sweat. I've been using these and I LOVE them. They don't irritate the inside of my ear, they stay put, and they sound good -- [and they're on sale right now](https://amzn.to/3Ox9yBt?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). But when I wear them at my desk, and say, my hair is wet, it dries looking TOTALLY INSANE so I am looking into a wireless open-ear set as well. I suggested [these](https://amzn.to/4eYyU5Y?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) and to my personal Santa. (There's [a Bose version of that last ear-hugging style](https://amzn.to/4fXLiVe?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), but the price is several levels up and I'm not sure they're justifiably better.)

## Fuzzy earmuffs!

They're faux, don't worry. I really miss getting to use my ear muffs and these would have been a DELIGHTFUL way to expand my collection. They're $34 or less, either [in a whole slew of colors and patterns that are fuzzy all over](https://rstyle.me/+8Oa2XRCYpFkb67nMWdonIg?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), or [with a studded band](https://rstyle.me/+qBtlXquJ2O9Sm8F4SmBWgQ?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).

## Red lippy

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/12/lipsticks-1733105651.jpg)

On the right is the Pat McGrath [Taylor Made Lip Kit](https://www.patmcgrath.com/products/the-taylor-made-lip-kit?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), which a friend of mine bought for a mutual pal for her birthday; at least six of us tried it on and it looked good on ALL of us despite us having wildly different coloring. It was The Sisterhood of the Traveling Lipstick. My own Eras Tour red was the left-side combo of [Thrive Causemetics's Maya lipstick](https://rstyle.me/+nomMZHsxipqMH7I9WLHCQw?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) and [Maurjon liner](https://rstyle.me/+C15gZN2BfAPsD-JMdpIc0g?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).

## Thank You, She Wrote

In the style of the Murder, She Wrote, logo. SO SIMPLE YET SO BRILLIANT. [And so cheap](https://rstyle.me/+hBYWv7cWtGtjFplLITeNAg?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).

[This may speak for itself](“). But what it SAYS is up to you. I feel like he’d approve of this tribute.
