To help you figure out what to get your loved ones for the holidays, we’ve rounded up the best gifts that will suit a wide variety of tastes and interests, including foodies, tech lovers, self-care enthusiasts, and more. We also spoke to gifting expert Kristin Fisher, founder of Bocu, to get her advice on how to choose the most memorable Christmas gifts for the people in your life. “No matter your budget, you can gift a little bit of luxe at the holidays with a chic candle, beautiful coffee table book, or high-end olive oil—all of these gifts could be under $50 but will give a ‘wow’ moment to someone who may not normally treat themselves,” says Fisher....

To find the best bidets, we tested 21 models—including bidet attachments and bidet toilet seats—over two weeks. Testers evaluated each bidet on attributes like setup, ease of use, effectiveness, and value. For expert tips, we consulted Evan Goldstein, DO, anal surgeon and co-founder of Future Method, and Kyle Bazylo, owner of Bidet.org. “At the bare minimum, an effective bidet should provide an adjustable stream to accommodate different heights and body types, adjustable water pressure to reduce injury or discomfort, and a self-cleaning feature to ensure the nozzle stays hygienic,” says Dr....

I’d describe the AirPop mask as a reusable-meets-disposable hybrid. The cone-shaped masks can be washed and sanitized, but they are only effective for up to one week, or 40 hours of use. It comes in two colors (black and white), has soft and adjustable ear straps, and features a seal that molds to your nose. The brand says that the outer layer of the AirPop mask is 100 percent water-resistant “to splashes and droplets of any kind....

Available in four cute colors, the tiny and, yes, angry-looking cleaning tool might seem comical at first. It sort of resembles a Pixar character, but the product description is quick to remind you that this is not a toy. Instead, the Angry Mama cleaner uses a natural formula to produce steam that softens caked-on microwave stains, making them easier for you to swipe away. To buy: $11 (was $16); amazon....

But going to the gym isn’t always feasible. A busy schedule makes shlepping to the gym a chore; group workout classes can get expensive; and not everyone likes to do burpees in a hot room with 25 strangers. And these are just a few of the factors that make a consistent, in–person fitness routine hard to sustain. Of course, taking good walks and learning how to start running are both great (free!...

In recent years, we’ve seen an uptick in brands promoting 5-, 7-, and 10-free formulas, meaning they’re made without the potentially harmful chemicals that once overpowered traditional nail care products, such as formaldehyde, toluene, dibutyl phthalate, formaldehyde resin, and camphor. If you’re ready to make a swap in your nail care routine and opt for products that don’t use chemicals that are known to absorb into the body and have potentially negative effects, then keep reading....

Purchase Real Honey According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), honey is defined “as a thick, sweet, syrupy substance that bees make as food from the nectar of flowers and store in honeycombs.” Although this seems like a no-brainer, you may be surprised to find that some store-bought “honey” may include added ingredients aside from 100 percent pure honey. Pay Attention to the Labels Next time you’re at the supermarket, pay special attention to the labels on the bottle that will help you identify counterfeit honey....

And if you are selling your home soon? Consider listing ASAP. According to Zillow, homes listed on a Thursday in late April can expect to sell for about 2.8 percent more (about $9,300 on the typical U.S. home).

It turns out that the beautiful state of Hawaii is one of those exceptional places—well, really, the most exceptional—according to data pulled by NiceRx, a company helping patients access affordable prescription medications. To determine which states are the happiest in America (and why), NiceRx compared all 50 states, calculating an overall happiness score by measuring each state against several “happiness factors,” such as prevalence of mental illness, crime, poverty, average life expectancy, and more....

The typical reach-in linen closet is 30 to 36 inches wide and 15 to 24 inches deep, says Scott Davis, vice president of product development and marketing at Closetmaid, a storage system manufacturer, and can be found either in a bathroom or a hallway near the bedrooms. While exactly what people store in their linen closets varies, Davis suggests you resist the urge to store “anything and everything” in here....

A Quick History of Lip Plumpers OG lip plumpers surfaced in the mid-2000s, and by 2010 were a full-blown beauty category. Back then, these products typically worked via mildly irritating “vasodilator” ingredients such as peppermint, cinnamon, ginger, and capsaicin, notes Blair Hayes, board-certified aesthetics physician assistant. Some even used bee venom, which were believed to trigger an inflammatory response. Everyone had a tube of tingly lip plumper in their purse, and there was a weird sort of pleasure in the zing of each application....
