There may (finally) be plenty of toilet paper on the shelves, but it can’t hurt to keep a good stock! Giving toilet paper as a gift is both funny & actually useful, making it the perfect quarantine birthday present.

8. Easily Send Them an E-Gift Card for Literally Anywhere ($20+)
I LOVE shopping at Gift Card Mall! This site makes it super easy to order & send a gift card to anyone for anything. Almost every gift card they offer has no expiration & no fees, plus you can have a link to the gift card either texted or emailed to the recipient. Perfect for social distancing!
9. Magnolia Table Cookbook ($16)
This is hands-down my fav cookbook. Whether the person you’re gift shopping for is an avid chef or barely knows how to use a knife, this cookbook has recipes for everyone + cooking makes a great social distancing activity. If you think they already have this one, check out volume two (yes, it exists!). PS: JoJo’s Biscuit Recipe is amazing!
10. Give a Unique At-Home Spa Night with JewelScent Bath Bombs ($17+)
How fun is this gift?! Not only are you giving them an at-home spa night (no mask required!), but each bath bomb also includes a hidden jewel or piece of jewelry that’s valued at $15-$7500. JewelScent is the #1 Jewelry Bath Bomb Company for a reason!
11. Cozy Memory Foam Slippers ($24)
Comfort is a MUST when you’re stuck at home! These memory foam slippers are extremely comfy + they’re super cute, making them a cozy & useful social distancing gift.
12. Throw Throw Burrito Card Game ($25)
This game is SO cute!!! It’s perfect for family game nights and “grownup” game nights alike. Throw Throw Burrito is the world’s first dodgeball card game, and it’s been described as “Uno meets Nerf.” This fun & unique game is a great way to keep the isolated birthday blues away!
13. Capri Blue Volcano Candle ($28)
This is hands-down the BEST candle that’s ever existed. I burn this candle frequently & I have yet to find one with a better fragrance. Perfect for anyone spending a lot of time at home!
14. Crayola Adult Coloring Set ($34)
I LOVE that adult coloring is a thing! Coloring is such a great way to unwind & de-stress after a long day. This gift set from Crayola features 40 Mandala Coloring Pages with beautiful geometric designs and 50 Signature Blend & Shade Colored Pencils in a storage tin. (FYI, Crayola colored pencils are the best!!)
15. Winc Wine Subscription ($60+)
Wine is ALWAYS a great gift idea, but this is especially true during a pandemic. Winc is my favorite wine subscription box because not only do they send you personalized wines based on a preferences quiz, but they also learn your palate based on how you rate each wine they send you, meaning their recommendations keep getting better & better. A gift card for a Winc Subscription is the ideal quarantine b-day gift!
16. Luxury Bathtub Caddy Tray ($45+)
This beautiful bath tray is made from high quality bamboo wood and includes extendable sides, non-slip silicone grips, a book/tablet holder, wine glass slots, & 2 removable side trays. This luxury gift is a total win for bath lovers!

Any queen would LOVE this handcrafted gift box! It includes a natural vegan soap, sugared strawberries lip butter, white chocolate mint lip butter, + an option to add a bath bomb & natural sugar scrub. Only high-quality ingredients are used (animal cruelty & GMO free) + there’s free shipping!
18. Oversized Blanket Hoodie ($40)
My boyfriend & I wear these EVERY day! This brand is the original blanket hoodie and it’s a must for anyone spending a lot of time at home, making it a great pandemic gift!!
19. Back & Neck Massager with Heat ($55)
If their massage routine has been interrupted by the world shutting down, they would love a massager that works (almost) as well as human hands. Bonus: it’s half the price of a massage + it can be used over & over & over again, making it a gift that keeps on giving.
20. Gift a One-Year Subscription to Auro Audio Fitness ($60)
Auro is AWESOME!! This audio fitness subscription allows you to workout anywhere at any time with elite personal trainers (and without screens!).
An Auro subscription includes beginner to advanced 2-12 week training plans tailored to your goal & level, plus it comes with hundreds of individual workouts, including strength, cardio, HIIT, yoga, meditation, & more.By gifting a one-month or one-year audio fitness subscription to Auro, you’re giving the gift of fitness & ultimately the gift of health. 🙂
