The cuteness is killing me.

At just $12, this is an easy affordable gift that's definitely going to get a ton of use.

I was a big-time Stanley hater until I decided to give it a try and realized that with it, I actually improved my water intake. It's quite large, so I wouldn't recommend giving it to those who have to travel quite a bit in one day, but since I spend most days WFH, it's just perfect.

Jewelry always makes a great gift—especially when its from a viral brand like Frasier Sterling.

Do I even have to explain this one? Rhode's Peptide Lip Treatment now comes in tinted shades, and you should joint the waiting list now so you're able to get it in time for the holidays.

From Ramen Money to Book Money, there are a ton of options to choose from that'll suit your recipient's personality best.

Anything from Glossier is bound to make your gift recipient happy, but a candle is always a no-fail option.

12 wonderful shades to choose from.

The most-wanted products from Glossier are all in a perfect set.

Wilflower's phone cases are widely beloved, so I'm not surprised that the brand's AirPod covers are also top sellers. 

With notes of plum, jasmine, and vanilla, this delicious scent has over 1000 glowing reviews and is featured in almost every TikTok wish list I've seen.

Three lipglosses, a Sony Angel, AirPods... What can't you fit into a Baggu shoulder bag?

In a TikTok world of girlhood, Sofia Coppola is a leading figure. 

As a newbie pet owner, I can't stop buying all the cute things the internet has to offer. Whether you're shopping for yourself or the dog/cat parent in your life, a sweater like this is a great purchase. Plus, there's a human option if they're the kind of person who would be into matching. (I know I am.)

Their morning matcha routine will get significantly better.

I don't care if people say pajamas are a "boring" gift—a cozy matching pair of pajamas is a little luxury people appreciate.

Even when you're too lazy to do your hair, a clip this pretty will make it look like you still put in effort.

All of Refy's best sellers are now available in a limited-edition set. Buy it for the beauty expert in your life (or for yourself—we won't judge.)

For the type A person in your life, the best gifts are the ones that are the most useful. 

Everyone wants to live in Sandy Liang's world!

Yes, digital cameras are back. Before you make your judgments (Gen Z loves to bring things back! We get it!), help them document their favorite memories with this compact one by Canon.

There's no such thing as too many pretty things on this list.

They'll ring in the new year with fantastic skin.

Why pick one pair of earrings, when you can have a set from editor-favorite brand Jenny Bird for under $200?

There's a reason Uggs are a holiday best seller—their comfort is unmatched.

Year after year, fun scarves like these never lose their sartorial hold. 

Who can say no to Staud? Especially when the design is this fun.

Initial necklaces tend to look a little cheesy, but this one by Stone and Strand is impeccably cool.

A lot of people won't splurge on cashmere for themselves, so it's always a treat when they receive it from others.

For under $200, this is a very designer-looking bag. The navy suede looks similar to other options I've seen from The Row or Khaite.

When a robe looks this cool, it no longer can be defined as a thoughtless gift.

Yep, this is the coolest pair of ballet flats I've seen this season. I expected nothing less from Ganni.

If you're willing to splurge on a gift, this Miu Miu cardholder will be something they'll cherish for years to come. I was gifted with a similar one by my sister after graduating college and still use it to this day.

I've already got you covered with a cozy pair of pajamas, so how about an incredibly eccentric pair? This one is more for fashion purposes, but it's just so incredibly beautiful. 

Wales Bonner x Adidas sneakers come at a pretty hefty resale price point, but the markup on this pair isn't as high as the rest of the collab. (My pair is currently on its way to me.)

I've always been a regular AirPod girl, but once I experienced the soundproofing on this pair, I converted.
