| Yes, this unusual gift is exactly what it looks like: a goat figurine that screams when you press it! It's a hilarious (and bestselling) pick for a gag gift or White Elephant game — and also perfect for that friend or co-worker who needs to let out a little frustration. |

From the car dealership to your home, this is the gift you need if you're looking to grab everyone's attention. The miniature inflatable tube guy toy has a fan at the bottom to make it inflate and dance, making it the perfect desk or night table companion for when you need a good laugh. |

| For the person who is constantly making a grocery list, writing notes for work or rolling today's to-do list over to tomorrow, this reusable notebook is fun and helpful. Using the brand's free app, you can easily scan your notes and drawings before wiping the page clean with a damp cloth! That means you'll never run out of pages to write your next masterpiece. |

Most people with AirPods probably don't clean them as much as they should. Just ask associate editor Emma Stessman, who used this designated pen to finally give her devices a good cleaning. "I was astounded (and frankly pretty disgusted) by the amount of dirt and wax that came out from inside the bud," she confessed. |

|
| Early birds and night owls alike will appreciate the benefits of this travel-friendly stocking stuffer. This insulated mug is designed to keep cold and hot drinks at the perfect temperature for hours, keeping you hydrated and/or caffeinated for as long as you need. |

| Don't be confused by the name — this gift isn't for eating. It's actually one of the most popular games for families right now, allowing kids (ages 7 and up) and adults to enjoy a card-based food fight that requires some strategy and a lot of imagination. |
|
|
We've all heard the typical — and widely meme'd — phrases associated with virtual meetings: from "You're on mute" to "Can everyone see my screen?" At least this gift can add a fun perk to that call that maybe, possibly, perhaps should have been just an email. (Just be careful not to accidentally shout "Bingo!" at your boss). |

Mindy Kaling walks us through her go-to holiday gifts |
|
|
| Mindy Kaling is a true multi-hyphenate: A writer, actress, founder of the media company Kaling International as well as the creator and executive producer of a seemingly ever-growing list of hit shows like "The Sex Life of College Girls" and "Never Have I Ever." In spite of her busy schedule, she made time to talk with us about her holiday must-haves! Check out just a few below, and be sure to click through to the full article to see all her recommendations. |

Like us, Kaling also loves to shop on a budget. "I always try to find gifts that are under $100," she says, "and [Varley has] this one iconic sweatshirt with a drawstring around the waist called the Barton Sweatshirt, which I think is just an iconic gift to give to any host or friend." |
| |
|
| "There's this deck of cards for kids, which I love, called All Things Are Looking Up," Kaling says. "It's a deck of cards that you can play with your kid that's super fun, but it's about optimism and resilience." |
|
|
Kaling says that she both loves to "receive and to give" Jenny Bird's jewelry. "They're always really on-trend, they're such a good price point and they make those really cute chunky earrings that everyone's wearing right now that are kind of shaped like teardrops." |
| |
|
| "The other thing I love is this company, The Great," Kaling says. "They're doing a new collab with Birkenstock. And I used to be that person that was like, you will never catch me in these and now I think they're so fun and comfortable. And they're really chic with lots of really pretty patterns." |
