Need a gift idea? Amazon has a section featuring products that people buy as gifts most often.
Here are some of the coolest and most useful products from the section this week:
1. This charming garden gnome massacre for landscaping enthusiasts.
2. The Zeus Deluxe Beard Grooming Kit for your favorite lumbersexual.
Promising review: "For those of you saying that you don't need beard-specific shampoo and conditioner, god bless you; you're either incredibly lucky (in that your skin isn't as sensitive as mine), or you're dumb. With the help of the brush, shampoo, and conditioner, my beard has become very soft (which my girlfriend loves), and it is rid of all of the tangles and ingrown hairs. And the best was yet to come...the beard oil. It has made my beard shiny, but most of all, it has rid my face of all of the dryness, itchiness, redness, and irritation. My beard is growing well, looking good, and, best of all, it doesn't hurt! I have this kit to thank for all of that. I'm taking the time to write a review for this stuff, which says a lot because I NEVER write reviews." —Joey LeCompte
Price: $68. Also available in sandalwood.
3. A 2017 dog-shaming day-to-day tearoff calendar for commiserative furparents.
Promising review: "Everyone loved it. All pet owners have experienced what's in these pictures at least once, so we can all have a good laugh. Looking forward to the next one!!" —alaskaquilter
Price: $11.72. Also available as a book in paperback, hardcover, or Kindle.
4. A four-pack of Demitri's award-winning Bloody Mary Seasoning Mixes for your best brunch bitch or Bloody Mary snob.
Promising review: "Demitri's Mix is incredible. Just buy any generic tomato juice in a can, add a bit of this mix, and you have an instant mix. This is extremely tasty." --AngryScotsman
Price: $31.50
5. A leopard fleece onesie for adults who are cold and practical but mostly sassy (Rarr!).
Promising review: "I am constantly the cold person in my family, no matter the temperature in my house. After receiving this as a gift from my fiancé, I had a hard time taking it off the next morning to get dressed for work. I will spend countless hours in this onesie...only a fraction of those being in public." —Mecha Becca
Price: $24.99+. Also available in fox and penguin, sizes S–XL.
6. A natural-wood gerbil mansion for tiny critters that live large.
Promising review: "Miss Virginia Ham-ster loves her new house! Exactly as pictured!" —Jane Seymour
Price: $28.65
7. A Santaur ornament for someone as twisted as you.
Promising review: "Santaur far exceeded all my expectations; an otherworldly power seemed to emanate from his abs alone. My Christmas tree glowed brighter and didn't seem to require water anymore after Santaur was added to its branches, for the Santaur was the only nourishment it required." —Kelly
Price: $13.47
8. A rather apropos crab dip server for the hostess with the mostess.
9. A Slothzilla shower curtain for any bathroom that just needs a little *something*.

11. The official World of Warcraft Cookbook — with recipes like "Ironforge rations" and "Garr's limeade" — for the gamer that takes a break every once a week to eat something.
Promising review: "All my life in Azeroth, I've eaten many virtual meals. Now I've brought them home. The meals are easily explained, and even has a listing for specific dietary needs (gluten-free, vegetarian, etc.). This cookbook is a must for diehard WoW fans and chefs alike. Now order, go forth, become a Master Chef. You can't be any worse than Nomi." —Christopher-Shane Smith
Price: $25.24

13. A wooden wristwatch for the same person getting the beard kit (above).

14. A Totoro apron for the animated chef.
Promising review: "In love with this nylon-type apron; any liquid that gets on it just slides right off. Plus, it's Totoro! So cute!" —Amazon Customer
Price: $8.96
15. The Estes Big Bertha Flying Model Rocket Kit for people who like to build things and then watch them combust.
Promising review: "You can't go wrong with an Estes rocket kit. The Big Bertha is one of the long-standing models from their lineup. They're a joy to build, a riot to fly, a dynamite learning experience, and made of good-quality materials." —David of Crystal Bay
Price: $21.56
16. An aluminum case of stainless steel barbecue tools for your neighborhood grillmaster.

18. A super-affordable pack of seven TonyMoly face masks so friends and family can treat themselves.
Promising review: "I love sheet masks. Been using Karuna and Sephora ones for a while now, but they are so expensive for the results given. I was told to try an Asian sheet mask by a friend, and wow, huge difference! I've only used two out of this variety pack, but holy cow do they work so well! I don't think I've been let down yet by any TonyMoly products I've tried lately." —A. Datugan
Price: $7.70 for seven.
19. A VicTsing Wireless Waterproof Speaker for tunes in any terrain.
20. An elegant rose-shaped bundt mould for your IRL Cake Wars.
Promising review: "I love, love, love this pan!!! I have used it for years and given many as gifts. It works perfectly too because glaze settles into the petals and doesn't run off the sides. This is one of the best bundt pans ever!!!" —J. Risk
Price: $19.42. Available in 15 different moulds, including mini tiered wedding cakes, mini pineapple upside-down cakes, and bug cakes.
21. And (ovary explosion), this plush elephant body pillow for the teeniest snuggler you know.
Promising review: "This thing is everything we hoped it would be. My wife found it online, fell in love with it, and a week later, it was here. It's incredibly soft, cuddly, and versatile. I've even used it as a pillow myself. Your kid will love it. It has an irresistible plush texture that everyone seems to love. Go ahead, add it to your cart. Adopt an elephant today." —Ryan I.
