Best TikTok gifts under $25

Scandinordica Disco Ball Planter

If you’ve been on PlantTok, you’ve probably seen this dazzling disco ball planter, which makes a perfect gift. I just gave one to a friend for her birthday -- and added a plant too -- and she loved it. It can be hung from the ceiling but also comes with a stand if your giftee prefers to put it on a table instead. It's available in three sizes -- six, eight and 10 inches wide -- and you can even gift them all. There are three colors to choose from -- silver, gold and rose gold -- and it's sure to liven up anyone’s space.

Bronax Pillow Slippers

Cloud and pillow slippers seem to go viral on TikTok all the time -- and once we slid into a pair, we can see why. Your giftee is sure to love them too, whether they use them as indoor slippers, shower shoes or outdoor shoes. The unisex slippers come in 15 different fun colors -- from pink to blue to black -- and are often on sale, which is another plus.

Secura Electric Wine Opener

If you know someone who struggles with opening bottles of wine, they need this electric wine opener -- stat -- which comes highly recommended by CNET's Corinne Reichert. Once they try it out, they won’t miss the days of hurting their hand trying to pry a cork out of a bottle. The opener easily recharges and one charge can open up to 30 bottles, so it’s perfect for when your giftee has company.

Grabie Watercolor Paint Set

Whether your giftee is an artist or is constantly looking to take up a new hobby, this watercolor set will be right up their alley. I'm the type of person who has 30 different craft hobbies, and this is one of my favorite kits, thanks to how easy it is to paint on a whim. Not only does the compact case come with 50 different colors, but the set also has a nylon paintbrush, six detail brushes to help create fine lines and shading and a handy water brush-pen that makes painting on the go easy and fuss-free.

Bellanomi African Net Sponge

Give the gift of self-care with the help of this exfoliating African net sponge. Unlike a sponge or shower puff -- which don't slough off dead skin -- this net will help your giftee exfoliate in the shower and leave them with softer, cleaner skin. This gift will be a definite hit with anyone on your list who loves skin care or self-care products.

Laneige Midnight Minis Lip Set

If you know someone who's a fan of beauty products -- or has chronically dry lips -- Laneige's lip sleeping mask is a great gift. The mask is infused with hydrating ingredients including murumuru seed butter and shea butter to give their lips instant TLC. They'll wake up with hydrated, supersoft lips. It comes in a variety of flavors, but with this set, your giftee can try five of them: berry, gummy bear, mango, watermelon pop and peach iced tea.

'Killer Bunny' Bloody Tint

If you have a makeup enthusiast on your list, then treat them to the viral "Killer Bunny" Bloody Tint. This product can be used on their cheeks and lips, leaving behind a natural, pinkish-red hue. It's especially great for recreating the TikTok-approved "sunburn" makeup trend, where you put blush across your cheeks and nose bridge to mimic a subtle sunburn. Thanks to its reddish hue, it creates a natural sun-kissed effect.

Best TikTok gifts under $50

Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag

It’s impossible not to see this bag on TikTok and it’s definitely worth the hype. It’s a unisex, modest-sized bag that can be worn like a cross-body bag or around the waist. Since it has a 1-liter capacity, it can fit all of your gift recipient’s essentials, from their keys to their phone -- and more. It comes in many fun colors and fabric options, so choosing one may be the most difficult part about buying this bag. If you think your giftee needs more space, it also comes in a 2-liter size ($48).

Brita Faucet Mount System

If you know someone who’s always buying bottled water or hates the taste of their tap water, this Brita Faucet Mount System is not only more environmentally friendly, but will also save them money. TikTokers are big fans and no doubt your giftee will be too. Another bonus? It’s easy to install and doesn’t require any tools to do so.

Stanley Quencher H2.0 FlowState Tumbler (30-ounce)

The Stanley Quencher H2.0 continues to dominate TikTok -- and we get it. Its double-wall vacuum insulation keeps hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold and it fits perfectly into most car cup holders too, which can’t be said about all tumblers. It’s perfect to take everywhere -- to work, the gym, on walks, you name it -- and it also comes in several color and size options, ranging from 14 to 64 ounces. There are also other types of Stanley tumblers available, like the Stanley IceFlow Flip Straw Tumbler, which CNET’s Abrar Al-Heeti owns and loves (even though she was initially hesitant to give in to its TikTok hype).

Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Jet Set

The sweet vanilla and caramel scent of these three products is intoxicating, so we can see why this trio is all over TikTok. Brazilian Bum Bum Cream, a moisturizing shower cream-gel and a body fragrance mist all make up the Bum Bum Jet Set and it may inspire your giftee to get on a plane and head to a tropical destination. (It definitely had that effect on us.)

Bitvae Portable Dental Flosser

This dental flosser is a fan favorite on TikTok because of how versatile it is. It has three modes (clean, massage, jet) and five pressure settings. Because it has so many different pressure options, it's also considered one of the more powerful flossers on the market, which is important if you want to remove all the bacteria and plaque in between your teeth. The health-conscious person on your gift list will definitely appreciate the flossing upgrade.

Wireless Switch Pro Controller

Does your giftee love to play on their Switch? If so, they'll appreciate this innovative Switch controller. Its unique design gives the gamer on your list a better grip, which is more ergonomic and allows them to play for longer periods of time without getting tired. Plus, it's got really cool lighting effects.

Best TikTok gifts under $100

JW PEI Women's Gabbi Ruched Hobo Handbag

Aside from TikTok, you may have seen this chic bag on Hailey Bieber’s arm. The vegan leather bag not only looks like it costs way more money than it does, but it’s also a perfect way to level up your outfit. Another bonus? It comes in 23 different colors and styles, so while you’re getting one for your friend, you can get one for yourself too.

Pukami Armless Office Chair

This is a fan-favorite product on ADHD-Tok, since the chair is big enough to let folks sit cross-legged in the seat. Sitting with their legs tucked under them will help your giftee focus more and fidget less, creating a better work or school environment. Plus, the chair is both ergonomic and stylish, which means it'll seamlessly blend into any home office.

Fisher-Price Kick & Play Piano Gym

Every single parent content creator will agree on this: The Fisher-Price Kick & Play Piano Gym is highly effective. It might not be the most aesthetically pleasing, thanks to its neon colors and busy prints, but newborns and babies absolutely love it. New parents often struggle with how to play with their little ones, but this thing will have them going to town. They'll kick the piano keys, play with the dangling toys and coo into the hanging mirror. It's the perfect distraction for when new parents need a few uninterrupted minutes to drink coffee or unwind.

Trtl Travel Pillow

Our editors have been fans of the Trtl Travel Pillow for years, so we weren't surprised to see it go viral on TikTok. Yes, this scarf-like pillow is a bit unusual, but that's well worth the extra shut-eye your giftee will get on long flights. It's also lightweight and takes up much less packing space than traditional travel pillows, which they will also appreciate.

Crosley Radio Voyager Record Player

This has not only been a TikTok hit, but it can play all your giftee's favorite vinyl hits too. It spins 33 1/3, 45 or 78 rpm records -- but if your friend or loved one is short on records, they can also use the Bluetooth feature to stream songs through the Voyager. And since it's so portable, they can also take it over to a friend's house. The Voyager comes in a variety of colors, from classic black (which we love) to sage, so you can choose the one your friend or loved one would like most. 

Fujifilm Instax Mini 12 Instant Camera

These colorful cameras are not only cute to look at (on and off TikTok), but they’re also great for anyone who appreciates having an old-school photograph in their hand in a matter of seconds. A former roommate and I used a pink one to take a picture of each houseguest we hosted and then we made a scrapbook with them all. Other people carry the mini photos in their wallets, put them on the fridge, up in their locker at school -- the possibilities are endless.

FoxyBae Super Styler 4-in-1 Blow Dryer Brush Set

This has been ultra popular on TikTok and you probably know someone who would love it. It'll save them time when doing their hair since they can curl it -- with the 1.25-inch curling barrel -- while they blow-dry it. Or they can simply use the diffuser while styling their hair. However they use it, it'll be a definite win.

Ugg Women's Classic Ultra Mini Boot

Everyone from Kendall Jenner to Bella and Gigi Hadid have been seen wearing these Ugg Mini Boots -- and you’ve probably seen them on TikTok too. Not only do they come in more than 20 colors -- from pink to sky blue to black -- but they’re also super plush and comfy with their sheepskin lining.

Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (2021)

We’re already big fans of the Kindle Paperwhite -- it made our pick for best all-around e-reader -- and so is BookTok. That corner of TikTok is into the agave green color, but we’ll take any of them and we bet your giftee will also. This model is waterproof and has a 6.8-inch display, adjustable lighting and USB-C charging, all upgrades from the previous model. There is even a kids’ version of the Kindle Paperwhite that’s often on sale (not to mention it's a great way to keep kids off their other screens!).

Ninja Creami Ice Cream Maker

TikTokkers love this ice cream maker and who wouldn’t? With the press of one of seven buttons, your gift recipient can make everything from their own ice cream and gelato to sorbet and smoothies. It also comes with two pint containers, so they can even gift their creation to someone (you?). CNET’s David Watsky says the Ninja Creami is one of the best ice cream makers he’s tried: “The Creami happens to be about as easy as ice-cream-making gets." He adds that it’s also a great way to create healthier versions of your favorite ice cream flavors, which is a genius idea.

Meta Quest 3

Step up their VR experience by upgrading it with a Meta Quest 3, our top pick for the best VR headset of 2024. This headset allows for more intuitive interactions, accurate precision and realistic sensations, helping to immerse themselves better in the game or app they're playing. Plus, they can do more than just game on this set -- they can also learn how to play the piano, attend workout classes in various virtual studios and even attend their favorite band's concerts, all from the comfort of their home.
