I Keep a Running List of the Best Holiday Gifts—These Are My Top 38
I don't want to alarm anyone, but December is only two weeks away. So if you haven't started gift shopping, it's time to get moving. I'm slightly intense around this time of year. Maybe it's the editor in me, but my shopping list consists of spreadsheets categorized by family member and price point with links for each product. I firmly believe that gifts should be intentional—I only want to buy things that my loved ones will be excited to open. Below, you'll find 38 items that qualify, including on-trend sneakers, luxe accessories, and home gifts. All of these options are thoughtful, stylish, and sure to be hits (if I do say so myself).
Gifts for Her
Fashion people will always choose a classic gold timepiece over sportier versions.
A collared, leather trench-meets-puffer? Immediate yes.
Chances are this will be the most worn item in your loved one's closet.
I'm taking the guesswork out of holiday shopping and sending this link directly to my mom.
Slit leggings are infinitely cooler than the regular kind (just saying).
One word: stunning.
The under-$60 cowboy boots that look way more expensive than they are.
If the all-gold iteration was too flashy, you can't go wrong with a classic leather band.
There's no better time than the holiday season to go all-out.
An easy layering piece or simple accessory worn on its own.
Gifts for Him
A workman's jacket is a surprisingly on-trend pick.
I can think of so many friends and family members who would love to receive these as a gift.
Gifts for Home
Requesting a bedding set as a holiday gift is peak adulthood, but I have no regrets asking for this one.
This cool-touch comforter is equally airy and weighted. Perfect for even the hottest sleeper.
