Our yearly Holiday Gift Guide, with 50+ items, aimed to help make your holiday shopping a little easier this year, especially when you’ve gotten your loved one a pair of fuzzy socks one too many times. This guide focuses on niche, “aesthetic-looking” gifts, which may not fit everyone on your list, so start with keeping your loved one’s unique interests and needs in mind when shopping. Enjoy!

Pro Tip: Remember not to get stuck in the rut of “winter only” gifts. Sure, it’s nice to give someone something they can unwrap and immediately use, but unless your loved ones have a Spring/Summer birthday, there won’t be much community gift giving for the rest of the year, so don’t limit yourself to one season!
