There's Still Time—Shop the 81 Best Christmas Gifts for Everyone You Know (2)

Whether you’re looking for the perfect Christmas present for your mother-in-law, best friend, co-worker, spouse, or brother, you want to give something unexpected and thoughtful, but equally useful and relevant to their interests. That can be a tall order, especially when you’re trying to stick to a set budget and rushing to find just the right thing in time for your holiday exchange.

The stress of shopping for gifts is one reason why this season can be both magical and chaotic. “Holiday gifting is so special,” says Peggy O’Brien, co-founder of Poppy Gifting. “But it can also creep up and become a chore during an especially busy season.”

To help you prepare, we’ve rounded up some of the best Christmas gifts for adults. This list includes a variety of items to appeal to everyone on your list this year—including home cooks, golfers, skiers, and beauty-obsessed loved ones—as well as various price points and sizes, so you can easily find something that works for your budget. We also consulted O’Brien and Willa Callahan, Poppy Gifting’s other co-founder, for additional insight.

One of the most effective ways to ease tight muscles at home is with a foam roller, and TriggerPoint’s is one of the very best. The patented design has a multi-density foam exterior over a hollow core, ideal for accessing sore spots. At 13 inches long, this roller is small but mighty—users rave about how durable and long-lasting it is and appreciate that it also holds up to 500 pounds.

No idea what to get them? You can hardly go wrong with a cheese board. This marble board can be personalized with a high-shine brass monogram, a thoughtful touch that looks much more expensive than the $50 price tag would suggest.

Subscriptions are a great option for last-minute gifting because you don't have to wait for anything to arrive in the mail. Audible, Amazon's audiobook platform, offers several tiers for gift-giving.

You have the option to select one-, three-, six-, or twelve-month subscriptions, each of which gives the recipient access to millions of titles in Audible's library. Or select a specific audiobook you know they'll love.

This lightweight heated vest can be worn under a jacket during cold winter walks or over a sweater in a chilly office. The wearer can easily cycle through three heat settings with the press of a button on the front of the vest that increase or decrease the temperature from the carbon heating elements.

They'll appreciate how relatively unobtrusive it is, thanks to a sleek design. It's also machine washable for easy maintenance and care.

It's hard to buy perfume for someone else. But Glossier You is a crowd-pleaser. It's a little bit spicy, a little bit musky, and deliciously warm thanks to notes of pink pepper, iris root, and ambrox. Plus the bottle is absolutely stunning—they'll be psyched to display it on their dresser.

A cozy blanket is a never-miss type of gift. This pick from Beautex is not only super comfortable, it's also reversible! One side is plush fleece that allows you to cozy up on the coldest days, while the other features buffalo plaid microfiber that is attractive and supersoft.

The Bottom Line

The best Christmas gifts on this list range from $15 to $500, and you can find special, meaningful gifts at every price point. Some of our favorite Christmas gifts are little luxuries that someone is unlikely to buy for themselves; think a color-changing lipstick or a leather passport holder.

Equally appreciated are upgraded versions of basics your loved one might already have, such as a fresh tea kettle or a new carry-on suitcase. We also love giving gifts that target a recipient’s interests, such as a pizza stone or pasta maker for an avid home cook or a high-tech watch for a golf fanatic.

What to Know About Christmas Gifts Before Shopping

Price

Before you start shopping, take some time to think about the person you’re shopping for and your budget. When are you exchanging gifts and how much time do you have to shop? How much money are you hoping to spend? Many group exchanges such as Secret Santa create a set budget, which can help guide your shopping.

Recipient

Next, hone in on the recipient’s interests. “What are special pastimes they enjoy, or favorite places and foods [they like] to eat?” asks Willa Callahan, Poppy Gifting’s other co-founder. “Is there anything special that fits into one of those categories that they might not be inclined to purchase themselves?”

After considering their interests, O’Brien recommends factoring in details that might narrow your shopping, such as where they live or their age.

“Say they love fresh Italian-style pizzas,” she says. “You might be piqued by an outdoor pizza oven for them to create their own pizzas, however if they live in a cold weather location you could consider pivoting to an indoor-specific oven or cookbooks and accessories suited for indoor pizza making.”

Gifts for Coworkers That Will Make You the Hit of This Year’s Exchange

Your Questions, Answered

How much should you expect to spend on a Christmas gift?

In short, only as much as you’re comfortable spending. “Our motto is that it’s the thoughtfulness that counts, not the price tag,” says O’Brien. No one should ever break the bank to treat a loved one, and you can find a tasteful Christmas gift on any budget, she adds.

When should you start shopping for a Christmas gift?

“Is January too early?” Callahan jokes. “All kidding aside, the frenzy of the holiday season comes on fast. In today's market, inventory, production timing, and prices are constantly shifting, so purchasing ahead will ensure you beat any unavailability down the road.”

With that in mind, it never hurts to start thinking about Christmas gifts early in the season. Callahan recommends spending some time in the early fall considering your holiday gifting plans. Think about who you’ll be shopping for this year, how much you’d like to spend on each person, and some general categories that come to mind (say, something for the kitchen for your mom who loves to cook; a ski-related gift for your outdoorsy brother-in-law).
