The newest must-have item for all wellness junkies: nootropics, aka supplements that may have a positive impact on the brain, helping to enhance certain cognitive functions.

Before any traveler hits the road, they’ll want to make sure their devices are protected and prepped for potentially bumpy terrain. Casetify's Y2K collection of phone cases ($72-$98) are as extreme as they sound—bounce-proof, MagSafe, and designed to take serious impact. Plus, they come in an array of funky artist-designed prints like magic mushrooms, leopard, and groovy '60s themes.

Keep the goats bouncing and the turkeys gobbling all year round with a fun, farm-themed gift from Sonoma’s Goatlandia Farm Animal Sanctuary, which rescues farm animals in need and educates and empowers people to look beyond animal agriculture to plant-based alternatives. Among our favorites this year are their illustrated note cards ($5.50-$15) featuring rescued animals from the farm, their fashionable goat hoodies and tees ($25-$50), and their 2023 barnyard calendar ($30). For a more experiential gift, sign up for a private tour or a goat hike with lunch. // 2336 Olivet Ln. (Santa Rosa), goatlandia.org
