The holidays are upon us, and that means holiday shopping is too. Here are some gift ideas for your loved ones. For friends, family and anyone who isn’t sure what they want, this guide will hopefully get you through this year’s shopping frenzy.

Gifts for Mom

A pair of slippers

Christmas time is built on the foundation of being cozy with the people you hold dear, and every mom would love a nice, warm pair of slippers. Some good options include the UGG Women’s Scuffette II or the L.L. Bean Wicked Good Moccasins. 

Jewelry 

A necklace or a dainty bracelet is something that many moms will love. You can find cute jewelry anywhere, from a local small business to the mall. If you want to make it even more special, you could customize it at Pandora or Gorjana.

Room scent diffuser or sticks

Room diffusers or sticks are an aesthetic way to make your home smell better. You can find Wallflowers at Bath & Body Works, which are plug-in diffusers that offer a multitude of different scents. Alternatively, consider a room diffuser from Amazon or room sticks from NEST New York.

Gifts for Dad

Massage gun

Dads are integral to Christmas time, and are often overworked and overlooked when buying gifts. To uphold this unconditional support and relieve your dad of a sore neck or back, a massage gun is the perfect gift. You can find them on Amazon, with the Hyperrice Hypervolt being a good choice. 

Quality golf shirts

Whether or not your dad plays golf, it is a staple contribution to the dad look. You should check out brands like Nike, Lululemon or Vuori when looking for good quality golfing shirts. 

New wallet

If Dad’s old wallet from 2008 is looking a little beat up, a new wallet is a great choice. The 3-In-1 Wallet from the Coach Outlet will do wonders, or the SlimFold minimalist wallet from Amazon if your dad appreciates more space.

New watch

A new watch is something any dad would appreciate. You can find nice watches at stores like Fossil and Macy’s. 

Gifts for a teen girl

Aritzia sweatsuits

Aritzia sweatsuits are on the rise, especially with teenage girls. From mixing and matching the colors to choosing between a hoodie or crewneck, wide leg sweatpants or cargo sweatpants, there are so many options to choose from, making it the perfect gift for its versatility and level of comfort. 

Charm necklace 

Charm necklaces are a big trend right now, especially at Ida B. Wells High School, due to their customization. You can find these necklaces from places like Gorjana, Evry Jewels or Pura Vida. 

Stanley or Owala water bottles

You can never go wrong with a Stanley or Owala. These durable water bottles are perfect because of their many color combinations and sizes. It makes them a great gift for a girl on the go. 

Digital camera

Digital cameras have been extremely popular recently, becoming a staple in any girl’s purse. Although they are on the more expensive side, good quality to capture memories with friends is worth paying for. Brands with great options include Canon and Sony. If you are looking for a cheaper alternative, there are some from Amazon or Target that are good choices as well. 

Gifts for a teen boy 

Hoodies

A gift any guy will appreciate is a stylish, good-quality hoodie. You can find these from brands like Abercrombie & Fitch, Hollister or Urban Outfitters.  

Mini projector 

For those who love movies or shows, a mini projector is perfect to level up their next watch. Not only is it a personal gift, it is also incredibly convenient. You can find mini projectors from Amazon or Walmart. 

Hydroflask

A good water bottle is always a great gift. There are many different sizes and colors to choose from, and it will always keep your water nice and cold. Upgrading to a good-quality water bottle, like a Hydroflask, is an easy and useful gift for anyone.

Beats wireless Bluetooth headphones or earbuds

Any music lover would appreciate a pair of Beats headphones. The Beats Solo 4, Beats Studio Pro, Powerbeats Fit or Beats Solo Buds are all great options and are all highly customizable. 

Gifts for someone impossible to shop for 

A cute bag

Everyone could use a cute bag in their life, regardless of their lifestyle or interests. You can find a bag anywhere, but if you’re unsure of where to start, L.L. Bean and Baggu have some great options. 

Candle warmers

Candle warmers are an electronic device that melt scented candles without an open flame. There are lots of designs to choose from, and they offer a safer alternative to burning a traditional candle.

Kindle

A Kindle is a great choice for the reader in your life who “doesn’t want anything.” If you can’t decide on a specific book, gifting a Kindle allows them to choose for themselves while also being an eco-conscious gift. You can find them on Amazon.

An experience

You don’t always have to get something physical. You can always gift someone an experience and it would be just as meaningful. Whether you’re attending Christmas tree lightings, the Oregon Zoo’s “Zoo Lights” or simply having fun in the snow around the neighborhood, quality time and fun are special and unique gifts. Additionally, you could buy tickets for both of you to see a movie or concert, go out for lunch or take some sort of fun class, like baking or pottery.

White Elephant gifts

A fun pair of socks

Everyone appreciates a funny pair of socks. Whether the humor derives from practical jokes or inside jokes shared among your friends, they are a great choice for the occasion. Some good places to shop for them include Amazon or Peach Tree Gifts in Multnomah Village.

Fidget toys 

Fidget toys are a great way to keep your hands busy and your mind focused. You can get fidgets like Crazy Aaron’s Thinking Putty or a NeeDoh Nice Cube from places like Amazon or Thinker Toys. 

LEGO Set

A small LEGO set is a great way to keep busy on a rainy day, making it the perfect gift for anyone. The set can range based on the group’s interest, anywhere from Star Wars to botany. They can be a fun activity for anyone.

A good book

If you love a book and think that others should read it, don’t be afraid to share the love and use it for White Elephant. Gifting someone a book that you enjoy is both personal and thoughtful, but there’s nothing wrong with a Penguin Classic or New York Times Best Seller.
