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 reusable tumbler for the hot drink enthusiast so they can fuel their addiction wherever they are. It's made of sturdy ceramic (which means no metallic aftertaste) and is encased in a silicone sleeve that'll protect their fingers from getting scorched, but don't fret — it's also great for frosty drinks.
2. A complete set of desk organizers for the coworker who might need a little help organizing their WFH setup. It'll make them feel like they have their own assistant!
3. A classic flannel shirt they'll probably wear on repeat this winter. It's the low-maintenance staple their wardrobe's definitely been missing — it's wrinkle-resistant, machine-washable, and has a smidge of stretch to it looking 👌👌👌 wear after after.
4. A 3D-printed planter for your green-thumbed friends that'll give their fave foliage a funky new home. It's equipped with a mesh drainage base so they won't have to stress about accidentally overwatering their babies, either.
5. A cozy winter toque that'll keep their noodle warm all season long. Maybe you don't know their snowsuit size or their preferred brand of ski goggles, but this versatile and cozy hat will be a great addition to their winter wear.
6. A set of funky dress socks for anyone who has a great sense of humour, but hates shopping for themselves. Everyone needs socks, so these are a no-brainer!
7. A plush pet bed for the friend who's obsessed with their fur baby. It has a donut shape and raised rim so pets that love to burrow or curl up to snooze will feel right at home.
8. A lightweight puffer that's made of recycled water bottles — and will resist anything Mother Nature can throw at it. It's got sleek hidden pockets to keep things from looking bulky so they'll be able to throw this on over all their holiday 'fits.
9. A collage picture frame for the family member who collects memories, but maybe hasn't gotten around to displaying them all yet. They can use it for photos, plane tickets, adorable notes, or other bits and bobs they hold dear.
10. A pair of touchscreen leather gloves so they can respond to texts without exposing their digits to the freezing cold. They're fancy enough to pair with chic holiday attire and have a cozy cashmere lining to protect their hands from plummeting winter temps.
11. A cute AirPod case that'll protect their fave accessory from bumps and scratches. It's made of durable silicone and can be easily snapped onto a key ring so they'll never lose their headphones again.
12. A double-sided blanket that'll give every cuddle bug on your list something to cozy up with. It's got plush and snuggly sherpa on one side and smooth fleece on the other — reviewers say it's like being wrapped in a hug.
13. A set of lush faux succulents for the would-be gardener whose green thumb is really more of a red flag. They're even more low-maintenance than real ones, and will stay green forever — no watering necessary.
14. A windproof umbrella that'll keep them dry throughout winter's worst weather. It has more ribs than a traditional parasol and a vented double canopy that'll keep it from flipping inside out.
15. An Egyptian cotton towel for the friend who just moved into a sweet new pad. It's plush, soft, and incredibly absorbent (and also way too handy for any hard-to-buy-for pals to scoff at).
16. A chic leather apron for the friend who fancies themself a chef. It'll protect their clothes (and skin) from grease and sauce splatter so they focus on perfecting that recipe they've been working on.
17. And a family recipe journal so they can preserve their fave ones. It has dedicated sections for appetizers, mains, and everything in between (plus, a helpful breakdown of measurement equivalents, ingredient substitutions, and a glossary of cooking terms).
18. A collection of bestsellers from DAVIDsTEA that'll cure your friend of drink-related boredom. It comes with 12 different crowd-pleasing blends (like calming chamomile and Earl Grey) that are sure to tickle everyone's fancy.
19. A squishy beanbag bath pillow that'll cradle their noodle while they're soaking. The handy suction cups on the back will help lock it in place, too, so they'll be able to just lean back and chill out.
20. An electric wine opener that'll uncork their vino in seconds. Gone are the days of wrestling with stubborn and sticky corks — this baby even ejects them once it's done so they can give their poor hands a break.
21. A slim Keurig coffee maker that'll whip up coffeeshop-quality beverages at the push of a button. It'll fit neatly on any overcrowded counter (and would make a great addition to a travel trailer or student dorm, too).
22. A stylish art supply set that'll keep their tools neat and tidy for when #inspo strikes. Each pencil has its own snug sleeve, which means they won't need to dig around a messy case in their hunt for the perfect shade.
23. A minimalist alarm clock they actually won't mind displaying on their nightstand. It can display the date and temperature, too, so busy bees can hit the ground running in the morning.
24. A cushioned laptop tray if they have a fondness for working from the couch. The beanbag-like base will conform to whatever position they're sitting in (no matter how pretzel-y) and it even has a nook for propping up tablets and books.
25. A set of clean makeup minis for the beauty guru who's always on the hunt for something new. It contains several of Sephora's bestselling products that they'll probably reach for every day so you won't have to feel guilty about adding useless clutter to their bathroom.
26. A mini hot water bottle for anyone on your list who is ALWAYS. FREEZING. Reviewers say it retains heat surprisingly well and love that it can be tucked into pockets to warm up chilly hands.
27. A pair of heart-shaped cups so your friend can finally ditch the set they've had since college. The double-walled glass isn't just for aesthetics (or fueling any rom-com fantasies) — it's actually thermoregulating, which means their hot cup of cocoa will stay toasty for longer.
28. An elegant wireless charger that'll juice up their device and look pretty dang good doing it. It's sleek, minimalistic, and has a nifty silicone treading to keep their phone from sliding off mid-powerup.
29. A page holder that'll be a game-changer for your favourite bibliophile. It'll help reduce strain on their hands and wrists — great news for anyone with carpal tunnel or other mobility issues.
Enjoy your new-found position as Gift-Giver of the Year.
