Unwrapping presents can be the most fun you’ve had all year, but the weeks leading up to that day? Not so much. From long lines to even longer wish lists, shopping for holiday gifts can be stressful. So we’re making things a bit easier for you and recommending the perfect gifts for all your friends and family members.
For the beauty buff…
You know her: the girl with the perfect red lip and flawless cat eye. You can’t go wrong with an exclusive, limited-edition makeup palette or skincare set. A collection of shimmery eye shadows and lip glosses will allow her to experiment with holiday party looks, while an assortment of face masks and body scrubs will be just the ticket for January’s annual detox.
For the chef…
Last year’s Cheese of the Month Club membership was a hit. Now what? Indulge your foodie friend with artisanal products like exotic finishing oils or modern entertaining accessories from monogrammed cutting boards to salt-and-pepper shakers.
For the dog lover…
Pet owners love the four-legged like family, so spoil his or her furry little one with a waxed canvas rain jacket, chalkboard water bowl, or Italian leather leash.
For the fashionista…
Designer duds may be a bit out of your price range, but that shouldn’t deter you from finding a fashionable gift. One-of-a-kind pieces such as a festive, metallic or beaded clutch, sculptural pendant necklace, or a printed scarf will add to her look rather than cramp her style.

For the techie…
He or she already has the new iPhone so scratch that idea. These days, tech accessories are almost as much fun as the gadgets themselves. While smartphone cases are personal choices, add-ons including graphic cables and chargers, “selfie” shutter releases, retractable ear buds, and polarized lenses make great stocking stuffers.
You may not have an army of elves at your beck and call, but with this list in hand; shopping should be as enjoyable as it is every other day of the year.
