One of our favorite shows to spot new products and enjoy some entertaining celebrity judge banter is “Shark Tank,” which is soon returning for its tenth season.
As we’ve seen over the years, some pitches do extremely well, while others aren’t so lucky – but the fact remains that the show brings forward new and innovative ideas most of us have never considered.
That’s why the products from the show tend to make especially good gifts. They’re far from generic and they usually solve a common problem or annoyance. Conveniently, most are also available on Amazon.
Most of these items are available with two-day shipping, so don't stress too hard about your last-minute shopping - just remember that the sooner you order, the better your chances of a timely arrival.
If your recipient loves watching "Shark Tank," they'll recognize these 20 awesome gift options.

A fun outdoor game

A set of lace face masks

The Total Rejuvenation Kit is a treatment that uses different ingredients to improve their skin in just four weeks.
A sturdy, inflatable paddle board
Tower Inflatable 9'10" Stand Up Paddle Board, $579, available at Amazon
Gift an avid outdoor adventurer this premium paddle board and you'll have a difficult time getting them to return to shore. Its design provides for better balance and stability, while a bottom fin makes it easier to maneuver. It inflates and deflates quickly, so it can be brought anywhere - but unlike many other inflatable boards, it's strong and rigid.
A reusable smart notebook
Rocketbook Everlast Reusable Smart Notebook, Executive Size, $29.97, available at Amazon
The innovative tech of the Rocketbook lets them put pen to paper and organize and access those thoughts with the same convenience of digital notes. The 36-page notebook is infinitely reusable because the contents get sent to their chosen cloud service before being wiped clean with a damp cloth.

BedJet V2 Climate Comfort for Beds, $349, available at Amazon
As an engineer who developed the heating and cooling systems of NASA spacesuits, the creator of BedJet has the perfect background to improve the sleep experience.

A better protein mixing bottle
Ice Shaker 26-Ounce Stainless Steel Protein Mixing Cup, $27.95, available at Amazon
The problem with traditional plastic protein powder shakers is that they tend to absorb odor and won't keep the contents cold. Former NFL player Chris Gronkowski's stainless steel water bottle is double-insulated, spill-proof, and odor-free - the upgrade that gym rats deserve.
A drink accessory that keeps their beer cold
BottleKeeper The Standard 2.0, $39.99, available at Amazon

A funny gift box
Prank Pack Bathe & Brew Gift Box, $7.99, available at Amazon
The Prank Pack isn't the actual gift, but it is a funny way to prank your recipient and trick them into thinking they're receiving a strange or gimmicky present.

A smart video doorbell
Ring Video Doorbell Pro, Works with Alexa, $249, available at Amazon
Ring may not have secured a deal with the Sharks, but it did strike up a deal with Amazon for over $1 billion last year, so it's doing just fine. The smart security system has two-way talk, sends motion-activated alerts, and works with Alexa, giving homeowners the peace of mind that their house will be safe, regardless of whether they're home.

A baking pan that gives them more edge pieces
Baker's Edge Nonstick Edge Brownie Pan, $35.95, available at Amazon

A rapid ramen cooker
Rapid Ramen Cooker, $5.99, available at Amazon
What seems like a gag gift has actually come in handy for many busy students, parents, and office workers because it takes away the need for a stove and dish-washing session, cooks the noodles more quickly, and requires less water. It's the perfect size for a block of ramen and a faster, more reliable alternative to stovetop cooking.
