17 Thoughtful Gifts to Send Someone That Aren't Flowers

Chasing Paper x Keeley Shaw "All Important All Valid" Enneagram Print ($15)

Anyone who obsesses over their enneagram type will love adding this cute print to their wall art collection. The simple print comes from Chasing Paper's enneagram collection, which features designs meant to evoke certain emotions depending on a person's archetype. One PS editor claimed the print "gave her home more meaning" in this Keeley Shaw x Chasing Paper Print review.

Editor Quote: "I think truly great art is meant to evoke an emotional response or thought — sometimes good or bad — and that's part of what I love so much about Shaw's work, and this print, in particular. Emotions are literally built into the DNA of each design in this collection and all with such care and attention to detail that you feel as if something really special is adorning your walls at all times." - Kyley Warren, assistant editor, Shopping

Avaline White Wine ($24)

The only thing better than receiving a fresh bouquet of flowers is getting a flavorful bottle of wine. Avaline is one of our favorites because it's made with organic grapes and no added sugars, and features a subtle citrus finish. In our product review of Avaline Wines, one POPSUGAR editor described her drinking experience as "love at first sip."

Editor Quote: "My everyday wine (to complement dinner, charcuterie boards, and my latest Netflix binge) tends to be a white wine. And when it comes to whites, I like mine crisp and dry — so I was definitely pleased when I took my first sip of Avaline White Wine. It's light and fresh, with citrus notes that linger. The blend of Spanish grapes was flavorful and perfect for easy drinking, which made it a big hit at a recent family gathering." - Alida Araica, associate email marketing manager

We're Not Really Strangers Game ($25)

Whether they're spending quality time with close friends, family, or even a complete stranger, this is an interactive game that'll inspire them to connect with the people they're playing with on a much deeper level. Read our in-depth review of the We're Not Really Strangers Game for a peek at the featured prompts.

Editor Quote: "Unlike most card games, this one isn't about winning. A note included in the box says it clearly: 'There are two ways to play this game: play safe or play to grow. The second is how you win.' The cards take you through a series of questions and icebreakers that will make your existing relationships stronger or create new ones, whether you play with your partner or a group of friends." - Shelcy Joseph, former associate editor, Fashion

Editor Quote: "I find that when I write down my intentions, I really am more mindful throughout the day, and I use the nighttime prompts as a way to reflect on the good and bad parts of my day. It truly is a five-minute (max!) commitment, and I have seen my gratitude levels markedly improve since I started using it." - India Yaffe, former associate editor, Shopping

Homesick Candle ($30)

You can personalize any Homesick candle with a message on the back to let your loved one know how you really feel. Pick out the city they call home and send it to them as a gift, or include a funny inside joke that'll make them laugh every time they see it. The fragrances are subtle, so the candle will make for a charming addition to anyone's home. Check out our Homesick Candle product review for more details.

Editor Quote: "My apartment now constantly bursts with the calming notes of a Homesick candle. Since discovering the brand two months ago, I have ordered a few of their themed options, but one of my favorites as of late is the Book Club Candle. It's partly because it conjures up images of me wrapped in a blanket with my favorite book and partly because it makes my space feel personal and lived-in." - Shelcy Joseph, former associate editor, Fashion

Editor Quote: "The Beauty Bites are a hair, skin, and nails supplement formulated with 1,000 micrograms of biotin. I didn't notice any immediate change in my nails or hair in the first couple of days after taking the supplements. However, after taking this product every day for a couple of weeks, I noticed that my nails were growing without peeling at the top, which was a win in my book." - Angelica Wilson, former associate editor, Fitness

If you share a bed with someone who requires total darkness to fall asleep (or if you're that person), it'll be a total game-changer." - Shelcy Joseph, former associate editor, Fashion
