You can take inspiration from this list to help you decide on everything from stocking stuffers for the kids to a show stopping gift for your spouse. Here are the 10 best gifts on everyone’s list this holiday season:
1. Hair dryer brush
This is a great way to gift convenience to someone. A hair dryer brush is as it sounds, a brush that provides a salon-worthy blowout while drying hair with hot air as it brushes to create luscious loose waves and volume. There are many styles and brands to choose from such as Revlon and Dyson hot tools who both sell these awesome brushes. It retails for anywhere around $30 to $70 USD depending on the quality you are looking for and which brand you pick.
2. Personalized jewelry
Nothing says I love you like a personalized piece of jewelry. Whether it’s a necklace for your mother, a watch for dad, or a ring for that special someone in your life, jewelry is a classic gift idea. Some ideas for personalizing jewelry is to get something that pertains to your relationship—such as a “best sister” necklace or something to do with a hobby or interest of theirs such as a bracelet with a meaningful charm, or a charm of their pet.
3. Signature perfume
Perfume is a great gift idea for a woman or anyone else in your life who enjoys fragrance. There are many popular scents to pick from as well. However, with the wide range of scents to pick from it’s easy to start feeling overwhelmed. Try asking the intended recipient what their favorite scents are if you can (i.e., the beach, forest, or floral), or if you already know they love the smell of vanilla or jasmine, then you can get them one that matches their tastes.
4. Smartwatch
A smartwatch is a great gift idea if you are willing to spend a bit more money. Smartwatches such as the Series 8 Apple Watch or the Google Pixel Watch offer many convenient features and apps you can use. There are apps for custom watch faces so they can pick one that speaks to them most and there are different options for bands so make sure you pick one they would enjoy. Smartwatches are also great for fitness tracking or staying connected on the go.
5. Weighted blanket
A weighted blanket is great for anyone who wants to give the gift of comfort. Weighted blankets are heavy blankets that are used to help people deal with stress and promote sounder sleep. The pressure the blanket puts on the body can help create a feeling of calm and safety for those with ADHD or anxiety disorder, in addition to keeping them warm as blankets do.
6. Air fryer
An air fryer is a great gift idea for anyone in your life who likes to cook but doesn’t have a lot of time to do so. Air fryers such as the Ninja Air Fryer are essentially small convection ovens you can fit on your counter top that can deep fry foods without submerging them in oil. They can get things cooked quickly, conveniently, and with healthier eating in mind.
7. Beard trimmer or electric razor
Beard trimmers such as the Bevel Pro All-In-One Clipper & Trimmer or the Philips Norelco all-in-one groomer, are great gift ideas for those in your life who want to take care of their beards. Beard care is very important as letting facial hair grow out of control can result in a messy look. So it is best to get a high quality beard trimmer in order for them to have a sleek, stylish beard, mustache and sideburns. Electric clippers can retail anywhere from $60-$200 USD or more depending on brand.
8. Camera drone
A camera drone is a great gift idea for any photographers or techies in your life. If you know someone who loves wide landscape images, then a camera drone might be a great gift idea for them. There are many different types of drones such as the Blackbird 4K drone that offers many different features. Drones can be fun to play with as long as you follow the drone laws in your area, and can also be great tools for capturing wildlife and travel photography and videography.
9. Earbuds or noise canceling headphones
Earbuds and headphones, especially those that cancel outside noise are a great gift idea for anyone in your life who loves music. With the AirPods Pro (2nd Generation) or with some Beats by Dre headphones they can take music on the go with them.
10. Cloud Slides
Cloud slides are very comfortable, easy to clean, lightweight sandals that feel like the person wearing them is literally walking on clouds. There are a few options to choose from such as the Feather Slide Sandal or the Fame Cloud Slide by Cushionaire. This is another great gift option for those in your life who value comfort, have feet issues, or who just appreciate comfortable footwear.
