It’s that time of year again, when finding the best gifts for everyone on your list becomes both an art and a challenge. Whether you’re searching for something thoughtful for her, a standout piece for him, or the best holiday gifts for the kids, hosts, and couples in your life, these curated guides make it effortless. Each list is filled with the best gift ideas of the season: beautifully designed, smartly chosen, and sure to impress. After all, if last year taught us anything, it’s that the most memorable presents are the ones that feel personal and inspired.
Here are five gift guides (yes five!) carefully curated for everyone on your list this holiday season:
FOR HER
Not to make this gift guide personal, but I personally want most of the items on this list! I need the Alo sweatpants to get me through this winter in style and comfort, as well as the Dorsey tennis necklace and the Heaven Mayhem watch and laptop sleeve (I mean, how chic?). I can already vouch for how good the Rare Beauty lip oil and Rhode blush are for the beauty lovers on your list. And the B-low the Belt studded belt is the perfect statement piece to complete any outfit this season (many of you have already asked me for that link!).
But there’s a great gift for everyone here. (over 50 of them to be exact) Has she hopped on the Mahjong craze? This set could be perfect. Talks about walking with a weighted vest? She’ll need this and these. Likes to be in bed watching her shows by 9? This pillow is the right gift for her. And don’t forget about sweaters this season! Both fair isle and brushed cashmere make the perfect gifts for any woman, any age.
FOR HIM
Men can be so hard to shop for! In my experience they only want a few limited things and tend to buy whatever they want for themselves. My husband’s birthday was last week and a package showed up with a jacket that he bought for himself. Why does he do this EVERY SINGLE YEAR?! I work so hard to find the perfect gift for him and he’s just at his computer ordering away. But I’ll spare you my complaints…
To make your life easier, I’ve put together some cult favorites for men like coffee mugs from Ralph’s for the coffee drinker, steak knives from Laguiole for the grill master, a stylish carry-on case from Tumi for frequent travelers and a wine carrier from Ralph Lauren for the wine enthusiast.
My M.O. for men’s gifts is to get them things they need (most men don’t actually like to shop for themselves) or to get them things they didn’t know they needed (the Theragun vibrating foam roller seems to fit into this category). There’s also something to be said for leveling up things they already own, but could definitely use a refresh. A grown up dopp kit for instance. Or a black & white photo of a Porsche to elevate his office. Or this digital thermometer for the guy who is still using the analog type and happens to love tech gifts.
FOR KIDS
Thank you to my daughter Madison for helping me put the kid’s gift list together in a way that only a 10 year old shopping obsessed girl can. (If she asks me to go to Sephora or for a new Sol De Janeiro spray one more time this week….) She’s got such a great eye and I can’t wait until she’s ready for a part time job because she will definitely be coming to work with me! She loves to play with little kids as much as she admires older ones so naturally her picks range from toddlers to teens. From sherpa lined crocs to huggie earrings, she’s got all the boys and girls on your list covered this season with the best holiday gift ideas.
FOR THE HOSTS
I’m sure we are all planning to host and be hosted and this list makes it easy to grab the perfect gift to take to your family and friend’s homes this season. I love everything from L’Objet for hosts – they have unique pieces that you might not splurge on for yourself but would be fun to receive as a gift. There’s a chic torch on this list to get fire pits started and cigars or candles lit. And I can’t forget the Jet Set glasses from Jonathan Adler that are perfect for a beach house or just when you want to feel like you’re on vacation (aka all the time).
FOR THE HAPPY COUPLE
There is always that one-off NYE wedding, that surprise holiday engagement or simply a stylish couple hosting a Christmas party that requires a chic gift. This list is for those occasions when you want to gift not one, but two people with something special. From the essential items people need to start their lives together to beautiful decor that level up a home, any couple (ahem) would be happy to receive the gifts on this list.
