Word on the street is that the holidays are coming sooner than expected. The weeks between Thanksgiving and New Year’s are always a blur, but something about this year feels even more chaotic. One area where I can trust myself to stay organized is in the gift department. The best holiday gifts range from classic sweaters, socks, and slippers to super unique and personalized favorites. But I’m sure I’m not the only one who struggles to find a gift for that person for whom shopping seems impossible (and I’m sure you can think of a few too).
Luckily, there’s no shortage of ideas here, whether you’re shopping for your best friend, co-worker, or twice-lost third cousin. In fact, with 78 products from 13 of our favorite gift brands, you won’t be able to scroll to the end of this story without finding at least one gift. Shop my curated holiday gift list below, featuring everything from trending Solawave Red Light Therapy products to stylish outerwear from The North Face.
First on the list is Coach Outlet, our editor’s favorite place to buy luxury Coach products at affordable prices. We have a wide range of products, from coveted tote bags to cute bag charms. The items listed below make great gifts for different age groups. For moms, choose the Molly tote bag. For your Gen Z cousins, choose the Star Cluster Bag Charm.

It’s true that anyone can wear a new coat for winter. This is the most commonly worn apparel item for almost six months of the year, at least for those of us who live in colder climates. So we’re using it a lot. My top pick for warm and stylish outerwear has always been The North Face. This is a jacket that you will never get tired of wearing every day. Keep scrolling to shop a variety of hoodies, hoodies, and vests from The North Face.

If you want to score big points with your family or friend group of fashion lovers, head straight to AG. The brand has become a staple in the fashion set’s wardrobes with its high-quality denim and corduroy products. I’m a big believer that denim can be worn all year round, so any of the items below would definitely make a great gift. For a more seasonal option, AG’s corduroy pieces are a modern take on this classic material.

There’s nothing more exciting than opening a box of new shoes. If I can’t get a puppy, I’ll happily buy a new pair of boots. Vince Camuto has this season’s trending style. Our editors recommend styles like moto boots, suede fabrics, and western silhouettes, but oxblood and leopard print are also great options.

Let’s talk about bags for a moment. Whether it’s a tote bag, top handle bag, crescent shape or denim, there’s not a single Kurt Geiger option you wouldn’t want to receive. The brand’s products range from bold statement pieces to timeless everyday options. If you’re looking for luxury leather accessories under $500, I’d start with these.

If you’re looking for a more classic gift option, Kenneth Cole is a great choice. Think coats, watches, and boots. These three classic categories come back again and again during the holidays. These are certified crowd pleasers. It’s a gift that will actually be used and, dare I say it, not an exchange. For example, I don’t want to return any of the following six gifts, so keep scrolling to see which ones I won.

Another popular brand in the world of accessories is Pair Eyewear. Their styles range from classic cat-eye shapes to colorful, on-trend frames. Best of all, you can customize the frame color, lens color, and add a prescription if you wish. If you want to keep the same shape but change the color or pattern to match your outfit, we also have magnetic snap-on frames. Below you’ll find my favorite silhouettes, but click the links to find out how you can customize these glasses.
If you want to give the gift of an instant skin care tool, start with Sorawave. This is a brand that I actually tested and was surprised at how beautiful even my skin tone looked right after using it. Red light therapy has been proven to reduce signs of aging, reduce inflammation, and stimulate collagen production. This wand has worked wonders for reducing my acne and eliminating puffiness on my face, so I’m definitely looking forward to picking up the rest of Solawave’s products.
