We've all woke up hungover and regretted every drink consumed the night before.

There are some lucky people who are immune to the side effects of alcohol, and then there are the rest of us who suffer through each hangover despite gulping water all night and taking every precaution in the book.

This holiday season, consider showering any one of these gifts upon that person in your life who can't catch a break in the morning-after headache department.

Or, just get yourself some of these too. That works.

Coffee, paired with Asprin, is one of the best hangover remedies according to some studies. A $73.99 machine and a bottle of Asprin is only $3.79, so that means a cure to all your friends problems for less than $100. Would ya look at that.

3. Sleep mask
