Gift these smart finders to the person who never knows where the TV remote is. They're small, waterproof and have an adhesive back that sticks to virtually anything, form electronics and household items to bikes and scooters.

The way it works is simple: Once you download the app and activate your Tile, you can ring your things if they're nearby. If they're far away, you can see their location on a map. You can also use these stickers to find your phone: Double press the Tile button on your Tile to make your phone ring, even when it's on silent.

Price: $39.99 for a 2-pack

A wooden cutting board for the foodie

For your friends and family who binge-watch Chopt, you can't go wrong with a gourmet cutting board from eco-friendly company Epicurean. They're dual sided, dishwasher safer and just as aesthetic as they are functional.

Price: $49.99 for a 14.5" x 11.25" board

An investment account for the recent grad

Lesha | Twenty20

Help the recent high school or college grads out with the gift that could pay off big in the long term: money to invest.

You can help them open an account with a robo-advisor like Betterment or Wealthsimple. These are automated investing services that use an algorithm to determine the kind of portfolio that's right for your age, risk tolerance and time horizon. They require no minimum deposit.

Once they have an account in their name, encourage them to contribute money to it consistently and automatically.

Price: $0 to $50

A cozy throw for the homebody

For the person leaning into hygge this winter, add to their cozy setup with a fluffy blanket.

A memorable experience for the adventure seeker

Twenty20

For the person who doesn't need any more "things" in their life, gift a fun experience. Look into what their city or town offers: You could send them to a Sofar Sounds show ($10-$30 per ticket), a professional or minor league sporting event, an exercise studio or an art or cooking class.

Price: Varies
