55 Gifts You Basically Can’t Go Wrong With

These gifts are sure to be a hit for everyone on your list this holiday season.

What a year! The holidays are finally here! And while we’re doing our best to make sure the products we feature will arrive in time, shipping times are especially tricky this year, so we suggest shopping as early as you can.

Stock and shipping times can vary depending on where you live, which product you purchase, and more. So order earlier than you think you need to and be sure to double-check the retailers’ websites for shipping information to ensure that your gift will arrive in time for when you need it.

1. A Kindle Paperwhite that's thin, glare-free, and – did I mention? – WATERPROOF. Plus, it has a ton of storage so they can schlep around that 1,000-page book without breaking their back.

2. A pair of Greats sneakers anyone would appreciate, because we're at a point in our lives in which we need to realize that investing in comfortable shoes is basically as important for your body as sleeping. When our feet are happy, we're happy.

3. A classic full-zip hoodie dubbed "The Greatest Hoodie Ever Made," made with a heavyweight fleece, double-lined hood, reinforced elbow patches, and more genius features to back up that claim. It's a classic gift you can get for anyone in your fam — but don't be surprised if everyone shows up in them next family get-together!

4. A set of wooly crew socks because one can never, and I mean NEVER, have enough warm socks.

Five pairs of knit socks in a variety of colors folded and set on a table

5. A 100% recycled cotton tote bag they can use as a shopping bag, grocery bag, or just a "stuff they need to have with them" bag.

6. An oversized blanket built specifically for hot sleepers who still want the comfort of a cozy blanket at night. The 100% cotton blanket is made with a breathable weave so they don't wake up sweating in the middle of the night (because that's one of the worst feelings ever IMHO). And as a bonus, the blanket will look nice draped over their bed. We love a functional and beautiful gift.

7. A Sony wireless compact speaker designed to be small and waterproof so they can take it on all their adventures from camping, to hiking, to the pool, and even the bathroom for an in-shower concert that is not to be missed (OK, maybe it should be missed).

8. A 100% cashmere cable-knit turtleneck I can pretty much guarantee the recipient will 100% love and wear all the time — they may even never want to take it off, which means you win the unwritten gift-giving competition everyone is playing.

9. A HyperChiller that can chill freshly brewed coffee — or other liquids, such as wine (!!) — in a minute without watering it down.

10. A set of cocktail-inspired soaps anyone will be ~intoxicated~ with because they look cool, smell even better, *and* are practical to use.

The four soap bars in different colors, two have cardboard packaging on them with labels of Limoncello and Elderflower Mimosa

11. A pair of plush slippers that might just be the Goldilocks of slippers because they'll keep their feet "just right" all day long. Cold feet *and* sweaty feet will be a thing of the past when they have these cozy slippers in their life.

12. A chunky-knit blanket knitting kit filled with everything they need to make their own blanket at home. But don't fret if they're not an A+ knitter yet — this beginner style (plus videos online) will help them jump right in and learn a new skill at the same time.

13. A box full of British chocolate bars because it's a fact that chocolate makes a great gift for practically anyone *and* British chocolate is wayyyyyy better than the American version.

14. Our Place drinking glasses made to be a versatile size so they can put everything from water to coffee and even wine in them. And if their cabinet is still filled with a mishmash of cups they "liberated" from their favorite college bars, they'll love this set because it will make them feel more like an adult with nice drinking glasses.

blue, white, grey, and green short drinking glasses

15. Otrio, which takes tic-tac-toe to another (more complex) level so even grandparents (and grandchildren) can compete and have a great time together.

17. An AeroGarden so they can grow their own herbs (and even veggies) at home, no matter if they live in an apartment without any outdoor space or are known to have a black thumb. This smart device makes it easy for everyone to add some home-grown ingredients to their meals.

19. A super-cool duffel bag that actually starts out as a garment bag, so they only have to pack one bag with everything they need *and* not worry about suits or other clothes getting wrinkled during the journey.

20. A set of custom stickers you can personalize to represent anyone — from the recipient to their pet to even their favorite celebrity.

21. An Instant Pot that takes this already stellar gift and makes it even better because it AIR FRIES. Yes, that's right, so now in addition to pressure cooking, sautéing, steaming, slow cooking, sous vide–ing, warming, roasting, baking, broiling, *and* dehydrating it will also whip up some delicious fries in minutes. Talk about a revolutionary kitchen gadget everyone needs in their kitchen.

An AirFly, a wireless transmitter that'll connect their AirPods (or any other wireless headphones) to the headphone jack on the flight so they can enjoy all the free entertainment without being forced to bring two sets of headphones or use the crappy ones the airline has the audacity to charge for on some flights.
