One of PEOPLE’s best travel purses, this gift combines both fashion and function. Its adjustable strap can convert it from an over-the-shoulder to a crossbody bag, and during testing it didn’t hurt our shoulders or feel too heavy. We also love all the zippered compartments that’ll keep grandma organized while on-the-go.

We tested this Tik Tok-viral neck cream for a month and saw impressive results in our testers age 50 and older. Their skin texture improved and was visibly smoother. Rewinding the clock on Grandma’s skin is a gift possibly worth more than $50, but she doesn’t have to know.

Artifact Uprising Everyday Photo Book

$40 at Artifactuprising.com

We love the chic, minimalist design of these photo books that elevate the typical photo album. Each book is customizable with quality materials and distinctive features, like linen fabric covers and foil lettering.

What Is PEOPLE Tested? 

We created the PEOPLE Tested seal of approval to help you find the very best products for your life. We use our unique methodology to test products in three labs across the country and with our network of home testers to determine their effectiveness, durability, ease of use, and so much more. Based on the results, we rate and recommend products so you can find the right one for your needs.

But we don’t stop there: We also regularly re-review the categories in which we’ve awarded the PEOPLE Tested seal of approval — because the best product of today might not be the best of tomorrow. And by the way, companies can never buy our recommendation: Their products must earn it, fair and square.

In short, PEOPLE Tested provides recommendations you can trust — every day, every purchase.
