The growing trend these days is themed letter gift parties, where everyone brings a gift starting with a special letter.
Unsurprisingly, one of the more common letters selected is “e”. After all, everyone wants exciting and excellent gifts, right?
It’s a neat idea in concept, but in practice, it can make the already difficult task of coming up with a good gift idea feel even more impossible — but we’re here to help!
We’ve put together an entire list of the best letter e gift ideas, and there’s something for everyone!
Read on to discover all the excellent gifts that start with e!
Thoughtful, Unique, Fun & Funny Gifts that Start with E
…that are Excellent, Exciting & Envy-inducing
Espresso Machine
A thoughtful gift for coffee lovers, a high-quality espresso machine is basically like giving them 24/7 access to their favorite cafe.
In fact, it’s arguably even better than that, since they won’t even have to leave the house to enjoy as many fancy lattes and espresso drinks as their heart desires!
Enigwatch Watch Winder
This electronic watch winder from Enigwatch is perfect for watch collectors.
It features six individual watch rotators that keep automatic watches rotating year-round, so they continue to keep time when not in use.
And it also happens to look gorgeous.
Made with a combination of noble ebony macassar wood and premium microfiber leather, this is basically the Rolls Royce of watch boxes, and a handsome addition to any room.
Easy Bake Oven
For the little kids that love helping mom and dad out in the kitchen, an easy bake oven is an excellent gift.
It’ll give them much easier access to baking up cookies, brownies, and other sweet treats and without requiring quite as much adult supervision or involvement (which makes it partially a gift for the parents too).
E-Reader
If their list of gifts is basically a list of books, you can essentially give them everything on their list with an e-reader!
Even diehard paper book folk will quickly fall in love with the realistic page-like display of the Kindle Paperwhite.
Plus, it’s waterproof (unlike paper books) and gives them quick and easy access to the world’s largest ebookstore.
Estee Lauder Makeup
Help them achieve an entirely new look (or maybe just continue their current one) with some new makeup products from Estee Lauder.
From mascara and eyeshadow to concealer, lipstick, and more, there’s something for every beauty lover!
Echo Dot
One of the best gifts for anyone, ranging from your new colleague to a close friend, is an echo dot smart speaker.
They can use it to play music, ask Alexa silly questions, check the weather, turn the lights on and off, and all sorts of other fun things!
Egg Timer
They’ll never have to worry about under or over cooking their boiled eggs ever again, thanks to this genius lil egg timer.
Such an eggsellent housewarming gift or fun Yankee swap item!
Engraved Jewelry
Jewelry is always a nice gift (especially for Valentine’s Day), but picking out engraved jewelry makes it feel even more special.
Whether you choose an elegant gold bracelet, pendant necklace, or some other beautiful accessory, they’ll surely smile and think of you whenever they wear it.
Essential Oil Diffuser
Not only a useful gift, but also a fun gift, this lovely diffuser fills the living room or bedroom with the aroma of their favorite essential oil and glows different colors.
Depending on what scent they choose, it can help them relax, boost blood flow, and more!
Electric Beard Trimmer
An electric beard trimmer is a great gift idea for the man in your life who’s constantly grooming.
This all-in-one beauty turns manscaping into a simple art rather than a tedious, often painful hassle.
Electric Toothbrush
While we’re on the subject of personal health and hygiene, an electric toothbrush is another great way to make their lives a little easier.
With just the click of a button, they’ll get a dentist-quality clean whenever they brush their teeth, which is sure to have them smiling bright!
Earbuds
It may be one of the more common gift ideas, but that’s because you really can’t go wrong with a nice pair of earbuds, especially ones that aren’t just wireless, but also waterproof!
Can their Airpods claim the same? I think not!
Electric Guitar
Whether they’re already a music aficionado or want to learn something new, an electric guitar is a fun and exciting gift for a best friend or family member.
Maybe if you’re lucky, they’ll even learn your favorite song as a way to say thanks!
Ergonomic Chair
We all spend a little bit too much time sitting at our desk these days, but you can make hours spent working or playing video games that much more enjoyable with the gift of an ergonomic comfortable gaming chair.
If they don’t thank you outright, their back soon will!
Emergency Survival Kit
The perfect choice for any outdoor enthusiast, this emergency survival kit comes equipped with basic first aid supplies and other survival tools to keep them safe on all their adventures (or perhaps more aptly, misadventures).
Embroidery Kit
An embroidery kit is the perfect gift for anyone with a creative, artsy side.
They’ll be able to turn clothes, pillows, and more into entirely new things by adding their own delicate hand-embroidered designs on them.
Epilator
Aside from laser hair removal, an epilator is the next best bet when it comes to saying goodbye to pesky body hair for good, which is why any self-conscious shaver will love this!
Electric Toy Car
They’ll have so much fun racing this remote control monster truck around that they won’t even want to play video games on their tablet!
That’s exactly what I like to call a win-win.
Easel for Art
Help them bring their artistic visions to reality with this handy adjustable easel stand. It’s perfect for actively painting, but also displaying their finished masterpiece.
Emerald Jewelry
Emerald jewelry is vibrant and stunning, just like them.
Although it’s officially the May birthstone, anyone will love and appreciate its beautiful deep green color, and even more so, the person who gifted it to them!
Elf on the Shelf
Liven up their holiday season with an elf on the shelf, their very own little visitor from the North Pole.
What kind of mischief will your new friend get up to this year?
Egg Chair Replica
This genuine leather egg chair replica looks more like an art sculpture than a piece of functional seating.
With this in their home, they’ll be able to sit back in sophistication and kick their feet up in fashion.
Eye Glasses
Sometimes the most awesome gifts are the things they use every day, like eyeglasses!
Pick out a stylish new frame for them and maybe even help protect their eyes from the sleep-disrupting blue light of digital screens.
Eyeglass Stand
If picking out a pair of glasses is too much pressure, opt for this equally handy eyewear-related gift, an eyeglass stand.
They’ll never have to worry about losing or accidentally smushing their glasses in the drawer again!
Exercise Equipment
Fitness fanatics can always benefit from new exercise equipment, whether it’s yoga accessories, dumbbells for their home gym, a foam roller, or something else to keep their body fit and feeling good.
Eagley Funko Pop Figurine
If you watched the hit HBO Max show Peacemaker, you’ll understand what makes this one so funny.
But even if you didn’t, this funky little Eagly figure screams patriotism.
It’s a cute and quirky gift for a letter e themed gift swap!
Elephant Plushie
Plush toys are always a hit, and these plush baby elephants will be no exception.
They’re super soft and cuddly and come in two versions: plain gray and pink with a little blue bow on the ear. Don’t be surprised if this becomes their new beloved furry friend!
Ear Muffs
A stylish pair of earmuffs will keep their ears nice ‘n toasty every time they need to venture outside, even if that’s just the walk from the car to the grocery store!
Earth Lamp
For an ~out of this world~ gift, this rechargeable LED earth lamp fits the bill.
It’s magical and mesmerizing no matter what your age.
Erasers for Kids
Turn mistakes into something fun with a collection of little toy erasers shaped as dinosaurs, food, musical instruments, and more!

They can also use it to store all those holiday gift cards they’re bound to receive from less creative gift-givers.
Electric Scooter
Amp up the outdoor fun with this electric scooter!
Even though kids have boundless energy, I’m sure they’ll appreciate not having to power their scooter with their own kicking.
Movies & TV Shows that Start with E
