And while some people thrive while living in the fast lane, there's no doubt that it can be draining. That's where you come in. Gifting your busy bestie products that help them stay organized and on top of their game, or that offer them small moments of calm and self-care, will be much appreciated—trust. Keep reading for our top 12 picks to give, from a mini version of an iconic dry shampoo to a beyond-chic laptop bag.

Batiste Refresh to Impress Dry Shampoo Duo

Dry shampoo is a must-have in anyone's beauty bag of tricks, but especially for the person who's always on the go. Help your friend stock up with Batiste's Refresh to Impress Dry Shampoo Duo. The festive set comes with a can of the Original Classic Clean Dry Shampoo (a true beauty icon) and the Cozy Cashmere Toasty Vanilla Dry Shampoo. Where the OG has notes of bergamot, lily, and rose, the Cozy Cashmere scent is brimming with hints of vanilla, pear sorbet, and jasmine, making it a great choice for special events, whether it be a holiday party or a big date. Scent aside, the formulas work to absorb excess oil for a fresh look and feel in between washes. And if your BFF is the type who gets her hair blown-out, this secret weapon can extend that just-out-of-the-salon look for days.

As much as they may love their trusty canvas tote, there's no time like the holidays to help them spruce up their work bag sitch. There will be no more rifling for their phone, headphones, a pen…whatever, with this chic, faux leather bag. It features strong handles and a luggage trolley sleeve, and both the shoulder strap and laptop insert are removable. It's the latter that really shines. The insert has a zip closure on the main compartment with two cinched pockets on each side for additional organization. Since you can take out this little portable office when you don't need to tote your laptop, it means the bag can double as an overnight or gym bag. A multi-tasker for the win.
