16 Gifts for Women You Haven't Been Dating Very Long

As purdy as Nova Ceramics' Travel Mugs are, lookin' all like the ocean surf in all the colors of the rainbow, one thing my household does not need is another mug, ceramic, travel, double-wall insulated, lidded, unlidded, 8-ounce, 28-ounce, or otherwise. In fact, I was just saying to my wife, She-Ra: Princess of Power, the other day, "We must end this mug madness!"

OK, I didn't say that. I just opened a kitchen cabinet and thought, "Damn. We have a lot of mugs."

I feel like everyone is in, or at least close to, this same situation, but that isn't necessarily bad news for Nova Ceramics or their reusable mugs. Because, you see, even though we all have way too many of our own mugs, and wouldn't buy another one for ourselves, mug gifts are one of the easiest, most go-to options for anyone. Especially women you haven't been dating very long.

FUNBOY's giant Inflatable Snow Sleigh is 70" long, 30" wide, and burly enough to take the two of you on Houndstooth, Nordic, Silver, or Gondola-designed sledding adventures this winter. All you'll need is an air pump, or some COVID-free lungs to sleigh it on this baby.

L.A. Burdick Chocolates has whipped up this winning waddle of penguins to wish you - and your choco-lovin' belly - Happy Holidays! The chocolatier's Chocolate Penguins gift box contains 9 "tuxedoed birds of Antarctica" made of a whipped dark chocolate ganache, hinted with fresh lemon, and finished with toasted almond wings.

Each Chocolate Penguin stands around 1.5" tall, and might be even more adorable than Peleg Design's Egguins, a set of plastic penguins that hard boil your eggs for you.

I approve of the idea of car air fresheners, because most cars I've been in without them smell of stale fast food, b.o., farts, and, if there's any in the household, dog. However, most cars I've been in with air fresheners pretty much have base notes of those exact same things, but blanketed in top notes of cloying fake vanilla or "ocean breeze," whatever the nasal assault that is. And, yes, I'm especially talkin' to you, rideshare cars.

So now that essential oils are all the rage, I think adding them to one of these miniature car vent clip reed diffusers could actually cover up the rank odors permeating your vehicle without creating a new odor that's almost as bad.

Taking inspiration from a collapsible hand fan, the Shadey unfolds in an arc above and around your phone (or similar device) to expand its surface area and create a barrier between your screen and the sun. The Shadey both eliminates glare, and keeps direct, blinding rays out of your eyes. Oh, and its method of attachment? A simple suction cup.

Somebody had a bright idea with this one.

While I normally wouldn't trust a monkey to hold my bananas or a cat to hold my houseplant any more than I'd trust a jewel thief to hold my Rolex, I feel like these Monkey and Cat Magic Tension Balance Hangers from Artori Design are pretty reliable little dudes. Because, for one, they look very committed to the task of hooking and holding anything from fruit to flora to keys to coats. And for another, they are inanimate and made of metal.

MONITREE isn't really a money tree, but if you're of the mind that plants make your life richer, these living computer monitor vines should indeed increase your emotional net worth.

Created with the idea that "taking intermittent breaks from the screen to look at foliage not only helps with your eye sight, but resets your mind," PLTRIS developed MONITREE as a space-saving, low-maintenance, high-reward way to bring beauty and calm to your desktop. The vine installation follows the perimeter of your computer monitor, so you don't have to give up square footage on your desk to make room for a planter.

A little birdie told me...uh...that little birdies don't like to be stuffed with tea leaves and dunked in boiling water. Even when Qdo gives them their very own swing and nest to hang out to dry on when the steeping's done. Yes, the Qdo Birdie Swing Nest teacup with attached infuser and lid is a hoot to behold, and maybe even a special tweet to use, but even if you desperately need a gift for your sort-of-girlfriend, delighting and supporting others' delight in this type of avian cruelty is shameful. Borderline sick. Almost-...

...mmmmmmm! What's that I smell? Succulent fat and savory herbs and...oh boy! Looks like my wife is roasting a duck for dinner tonight!

Listen, ladies, if you were wearing one of Wood All Good's Aurora Borealis Necklaces, you would have to cut me some slack. Yes, I would be staring at your chesticular area for a long period of time. But I swear, I wouldn't be ogling your boobies and thinking caveman thoughts. I would be lost in the brilliance of this pendant's stunning span of craggy burl wood mountains, and night sky dancing with the blues and greens of opal and resin Northern Lights.

The landscape of the Aurora Borealis Necklace is all hand-carved, with pendants available in 1.1", 1.3", and 1.5" in diameter, as well as a host of different resin and opal colors. Buyers will also have a choice of necklace to dangle their Northern Lights from, with various lengths of adjustable cord, silver plated chains, and 925 silver chains available.

Pyropet cats, or Kisas ("cat" in Arnadottir's native Icelandic), begin as geometric felines with protruding wicks. However, wherein most cats beg for tuna fish, Pyropets beg for a lit match. Once appeased, their ambient illumination settles in and then...then! Their demonic underbelly begins to emerge. OK, technically it's their demonic skull that shows up first. An aluminum skeleton embedded inside the sculpted wax gradually reveals itself as the exo-cat parts burn away.

Each Kisa Pyropet melts slightly differently due to, like, wick positioning and the Chaos theory, but after about 20 hours all end up the same sinister set of metal bones. Cats are available in a few different colors, and stand about 6.7" tall x 3" wide.

Gettin' so fresh and so clean with Lapus Lazuli. Scrubbin' down with a fine hunk of rose quartz crystal. Washin' away your sins with a bar of Tiger Eye. Who needs the time to mine semi-precious stones, or the money to buy them when these Rock Soaps are dead ringers? Even better than the real thing, I say, because an Amethyst isn't going to do jack for personal hygiene, but Fire Opal Soap will make everyone it touches smell way less like a homeless person.
