Hi, our holiday gift recs are here

We're here to help you find gifts your pals and your fam will actually like — ones that won't make your wallet sad and that will make it on time (if you act quick).

'Tis the season to find a gift your mom won't return, an unexpected present that'll make your dad smile, and something special for the friend who has everything. Making a list (and checking it twice) can be stressful. And that's where we come in.    Introducing the Sleigh List: our guide to the best holiday gifts for everyone on your A-list. Check out all our picks that made the cut...   1. The best stocking stuffers under $15. Good things come in small packages. And sometimes...those small packages are the hardest to shop for. Say 'hey' to these lil' items that your fam and friends will adore.    2. Gifts for people you don't know well. The coworker you've only met via Zoom. Your down-the-street neighbor who helps you when it snows. Your kiddos' teachers. Check out these universally appealing gifts for the acquaintances in your life, and all will be merry and calm.    3. What to get for guys who say they 'don't need anything.' We all know the one. Here's what to get him anyway (and no, we didn't include ties or golf balls).   4. Sentimental gifts that'll make them feel the feels. Happy tears, incoming. From personalized jewelry to custom photo calendars and puzzles, these sweet gifts will make 'em say 'awwww.'     5. Cozy gifts for anyone who's happiest when plans are canceled. 'Tis the season for hot chocolate, reading by the fire, and generally saying 'no thanks' to being outside. For the friend who loves all of the above, enter heated slippers, a plush robe, and so much more coziness.   6. Gifts to help the home chef step up their kitchen game. The limit for fancy olive oils, hot sauce kits, gourmet spices, and pans that'll actually hold up doesn't exist.     7. Splurge-worthy gifts worth splitting with a group. For when Mom really wants a new coffee maker, or your cousin needs new luggage for her big trip...but you don't want to break the bank. It's time to gather the troops and pool together. Here are easy-to-shop for ideas that'll keep everyone on budget and your giftee happy.    8. Unique finds for the friend who has everything. You've given candles, concert tickets, gift cards, and too many books to count. And now you're officially out of ideas. We gotchu.   9. The cutest gifts for the tiny people in your life. Because finding something that'll hold their attention and not drive their parents up a wall isn't the easiest task. Whether it's your best friend's new baby, or your own niece or nephew, we've got stuff that the whole fam will approve of.    10. Gifts any holiday-party host will appreciate. Yes, bottles of wine and flowers from the grocery store are always an option. But so are these much more interesting finds.    11. Trendy gifts for your most fashionable friend. They know what's cool before it's cool. And they've already got a closet full of TikTok- and Insta-approved items. Gift them one of these and tell 'em to get ready for their close-up.     12. Practical gifts people will actually use. Friends don't let friends buy stuff their family will return (or re-gift the second they get the chance). Enter: these foolproof, no-fail items they'll definitely put to good use. Promise.   13. Tech gifts for the one who always has the latest gadgets. They're always there to help you troubleshoot. And basically act as your personal IT department. So gift 'em some gizmos that'll take their obsession to new heights.    14. Exciting experiences to gift anyone who lives life to the fullest. Like your friend who's been to more cities than you can count, your brother who can't resist a good adrenaline rush, or your sweet aunt who's never met a crafting project she couldn't handle. Ready, set, go, go go.   15. And finally, our favorite presents from women-owned businesses. For when your giftee cares about where you shop from just as much as what you pick out for them. We've got incredible options from some brands that are working to shatter the glass ceiling as we speak. Who run the world?    Happy shopping, and don't forget to bookmark the Sleigh List for all of your holiday needs.   PS: If you buy anything from this email, theSkimm may get something in return.
