Looking for some unique and/or cool gift ideas, made even better with a little practicality thrown in? Yeah – that’s kinda our thing. Here you’ll find all of our much-loved gift guides (How We’re Stuffing Our Own Stockings, as one example, or our Black-Owned Business Gift Guide, as another – it’s great) as well as easy shopping lists of our absolute favorite gifts for women, men, kids, and, more broadly, everyone. 

NOTE: If you are looking for toys that lean heavily on STEAM and open-ended play, check out Ultimate Toy Guide: The Best Toys For All Ages & Stages.

Unique Gift Ideas For Women

Whether you’re shopping for your wife, mom, girlfriend, partner or — oh hey — yourself, we’ve found some seriously fun ideas. From Missoni’s really cool beanies (at half the price) and the ever-popular (+ practical) Ember Mug to luxe beauty products by Tom Ford and Charlotte Tilbury, our favorite gift ideas are right here.

Gift Ideas For Everyone

Looking for a gift that’s wildly unique, totally exciting, decidedly un-cheesy and/or completely practical? These are our favorite kinds gifts to round up! Think: the world’s most under-rated to-go coffee mug, a really pretty (and useful) jar of hand-dipped birthday candles or the best smelling, most indulgent hand soap ever. So whether you’re looking for a hostess gift or a best friend gift, a gift for the nanny or the teacher, or just a cool gift for a really interesting person…we have IDEAS.

Gift Ideas For Picky Guys

Trying to gift the man who has everything? Or – even worse – the guy who basically buys anything he wants the hot second he wants it? Yeah, we know that guy (some of us are married to him). Here are our best gift ideas for picky guys, including a few budget items that go the distance (see that Kiehl’s facial gift set under $50?), luxury items worth the splurge (that fire pit ain’t just for him), and – yup – some tech gifts, too (that travel projector is #goals).

Cool Gift Ideas For Kids + Teens

We have strong opinions when it comes to toys for kids. In general, we look for open-ended toys, the kind that foster creativity, help develop critical thinking skills, and/or just get some of that energy out. We love STEM and STEAM gifts, but aren’t going to swoon over gimmicky robots. Instead, we look to high-quality art supplies, building toys of all kinds, and seriously good board games. All of our very favorite toys can be found in our (newly updated) Ultimate Toy Guide: The Best Toys For All Ages & Stages.
