The 50 best Christmas gifts for everyone on your list this year

Chili crisp can enhance just about any dish, from eggs to pastas. If he loves spicy food (even when it doesn't love him back), he'll get a kick out of this gift set from Fly By Jing, which comes with four jars of deliciously spicy concoctions. 

I bought my mother Brightland Olive Oil for Mother’s Day and she told me it was a terrible gift, as I’d ruined all other olive oil for her. I’ll be buying her more for Christmas. 

You can shop individual bottles of olive oil and vinegars, or you can opt for a gift set, like The Mini Artist Series. 

If you asked me how many times I caused my dad to get a headache, I'm not sure I could count that high. Pay him back a little bit with the highly rated Renpho eye massager, which features five massage modes, including varying vibration settings and music playing abilities.  

I got an Aura digital frame for my first Christmas as a mother and it's been the absolute best gift i've received in years. It's incredibly easy to load photos into the frame, and once an hour, I'm greeted by a different smiling photo of my baby girl. Mom will absolutely love unwrapping this one. 

The Toniebox has been selling like mad this year. It's an audio player for kids that can play stories, podcasts, and songs. Each box comes with a character — a "Tonie" — whose audio matches its TV show or movie. This one from Walmart comes with Chase from "Paw Patrol," but you can swap in any Tonie, which can be purchased separately. We named the Toniebox the best toy of 2024.

America's Test Kitchen cookbooks are the gold standard of recipe writing. Each entry is meticulously tested and written with an exquisite amount of detail. This year, the brand released its 500 best recipes to celebrate its 25th anniversary. This cookbook is a must-own for home chefs of all ability levels. We named it one of the best cookbooks of 2024 for its excellent recipe variety.

Coffee drinkers will love this 24-day Advent calendar that treats your giftee to a fresh bag of coffee every morning. Each day features an individual serving of coffee, allowing your loved one to experience new blends for the 24-days leading up to Christmas. 

If you're attending a White Elephant party this year, you need a gift that's silly, unique, and inexpensive. We found something on Amazon that ticks all three boxes — a desk-sized inflatable guy. Just try to keep a smile off your face when this guy starts dancing all over the place. 

Need a great gift idea for your best friend? You can't go wrong with this 12-pack of delicious cupcakes from DC-based Georgetown Cupcake. Each cupcake is meticulously decorated and richly flavored. I've ordered from this bakery twice on Goldbelly and had incredibly experiences both times.

If their house is already filled to the brim with things, the last thing they want is more new stuff. So forget about buying them something new — upgrade something they already own, like their meat thermometer. This instant read thermometer from ThermoWorks is no joke. It reads temperatures in less than a second and is incredibly easy to use, clean, and store. 

Lovevery is the absolute best developmental company out there. We have used it for our baby's first 13 months, but our favorite toy box was the first. This play kit comes with black-and-white toys meant to help stimulate newborns in their first 12 weeks. It includes cards, gloves, shakers, and even a mobile. 

Every time a baby in my social circle turns 1, they receive this gift. It's a wooden bench with three colorful balls and a detachable xylophone. The hammer allows the baby to hit the balls through, while the red mallet allows them to play the xylophone. It holds a near-perfect five-star rating at Amazon after 18,000 reviews.

Got a budding doctor on your list? They'll love this play kit that comes with a stethoscope, thermometer, syringe, blood pressure cuff, and so much more. KiwiCo is a company that encourages kids to explore STEM-related subjects, so if your excitable 2-year-old has started becoming curious about the world around them, this gift will be a sure victory.

The picture of this Bluey bumper car just sparks joy. Can you imagine the wide grin your 3-year-old will have as soon as they unwrap it? Watch them wheel around the neighborhood with glee in this Bluey-themed bumper car from Walmart, which features LED lights on the bottom and the entire Bluey family on its side. 

If the 4-year-old on your list loves their pet (or their stuffed animal collection), help them treat any boo-boos with the highly rated Melissa & Doug Pet Vet playset. It comes with 24 pieces, including bandages, forceps, tweezers, and a cone. Their stuffed bear will be back to good health in no time.

This ice-cream making kit from KiwiCo sells out around Christmas, so pick one up quickly if you've got a budding chef on your shopping list. This kit not only lets your giftee make their own ice cream, but it teaches them a little bit of chemistry along the way — perfect for that extra-curious 5-year-old who likes to get hands-on with their presents.

Need a surefire win for the 6-year-old? You can't beat a Nerf gun. This one is less than $20 and comes with eight darts. It's perfect for filling that time between presents and Christmas dinner, especially if you've got a house full of young ones who've gathered for the holiday.

Challenge the 7-year-old on your list with this puzzle game called Kanoodle Gravity. They can play alone or with a friend to solve 40 visual puzzles with blocks and a playing board. It's a great activity when they need a little bit of quiet time or brain-busting engagement.

Forget regular Legos — get the 8-year-old on your list these Gear Bots, which, once assembled, move around on their own. The kid who gets this gift will have to read the instructions carefully to build these machines, but once they're done, they'll be overwhelmed with pride as they watch a DJ octopus spin tracks with his tentacles. 

Teach your 9-year-old that they can build their own robots with just a few small objects. This kit from KiwiCo walks them through the building process, making them feel like an engineer. Once assembled, the robot actually walks around, showing them how exciting science can be.

Remember Lite-Brite machines? This toy from KiwiCo takes that concept a bit further by allowing young builders to make their own light art. Using circuits, wires, and diagrams, they can build their own light-up display that can then hang on their own walls. 

It's difficult to predict what gifts teen girls will love, but we know two things they all seem to enjoy: Taylor Swift and Stanley Cups. If those two terms seem relevant to the young woman on your list, we recommend this small charm, which can spell out their name in friendship beads and sit proudly on the handle of their Stanley Cup.

Teen boys are silly, so gift them silly gifts for Christmas. We're kind of in love with this phone receiver, which looks just like a banana. It just feels like something that belongs in every teen boy's arsenal — a phone that looks just like a banana.

Let's be honest — your college-aged kid doesn't want much for Christmas other than money. Give them what they want. They deserve it.

Coffee subscriptions are downright incredible, and I've been subscribed to Trade Coffee for over a year. I bought it as a birthday gift for my husband, but we haven't been able to cancel it yet. We receive a new bag of fresh coffee beans every two weeks, each from different roasters we can tailor to our own tastes. If you've got a coffee lover on your list, this is — hands down — the best gift you can get them. 

As someone whose favorite food group is chocolate, this Godiva collection is among the tastiest gifts you can shop for the chocolate lover on your list this year. The new collection contains 15 pieces of ridiculously rich chocolate. I ate my box in two days flat, my only regret being that I only ordered one. It's an excellent gift to wrap, send, or give to your coworkers this season.

If you're not using vanilla bean paste instead of vanilla extract, you're missing out. This 4-ounce jar of vanilla bean paste is packed with rich flavor that'll make your giftee's baked goods stand out even more. It makes a great stocking stuffer or standalone gift for the baker on your list.

The OXO Brew Rapid Brewer is an excellent new coffee tool that dropped in 2024. It's a compact brewer that lets your giftee make their own iced coffee at home in just a few minutes, miles ahead of other cold brew makers that take 24 hours. This one is a must-own for iced coffee lovers.

Grilling is an art, and if your giftee is an artist, they need this BBQ book from Rodney Scott. It's one of the highest-rated BBQ cookbooks on Amazon and comes with dozens of recipes from South Carolinian Rodney Scott. 

Venturing into the world of cooking can be intimidating, but when your guide is Gordon Ramsay, it's a little less scary. The renowned chef partnered with MasterClass for this Cooking 101 course, which shows your giftee how to work their way around the kitchen with confidence.

There's something special about a flame-broiled pizza, but unless you go to a restaurant, you can't really make your own at home. Unless you've got the Pi Prime, a standalone pizza oven that doesn't take up much space yet produces deliciously gooey and perfectly heated pizzas. The oven only takes 15 minutes to heat up and 90 seconds to cook a pizza. 

This unique puzzle isn't shaped like one your giftee may be used to. It features 299 dogs, shaped like actual canines, with one little cat sprinkled in. Together they form a large circle your puzzle-loving giftee will have a blast assembling.

Whether the musician on your list is a drummer or a guitarist, they're sure to enjoy this coffee table book that features 500 of the all-time greatest record covers. They'll enjoy that this book is both informative and gorgeous, serving as an engaging read and fun conversation piece for their visitors. 

The Woobles makes one of the hottest Advent calendars of 2024. This crochet kit allows your giftee to craft a handful of their own whimsical winter creatures, sure to keep them occupied until the sun comes back out in full force in the spring.

As a hobby quilter, I can tell you that all we want for Christmas is fabric. We don't care if you find it at Amazon, Joann, or a thrift store. But if you want something your quilter is bound to ga-ga over, opt for this fat quarter subscription from Annie's Kit Clubs. I received this as a birthday present and absolutely loved unwrapping a new set of fat quarters every month.

Like all crafters, knitters want supplies that will help them craft to their heart's content. Darn Good Yarn is one of my favorite places to buy yarn. It's colorful, high-quality, and expensive—meaning your giftee won't buy a lot for themselves, making it an excellent gift.

If your giftee already owns a Kindle, help them elevate their reading experience with a tablet stand holder like this one. It'll let them do some hands-free reading just about anywhere, from the gym to the bathtub. 

This one's for all the writers out there. All we want for Christmas is some good pens. This four-pack from Rifle Paper Co features four gorgeous designs and colors, all of which are sure to please your giftee.

Oprah listed this blanket as one of her favorite things this year and it's easy to see why. It's extremely plush on both sides and makes a fantastic gift for any homeowner on your list, especially ones who've recently moved into a new space.

All cat owners want for Christmas is the love and admiration of their cats. Since that won't happen, get them the next best thing – a set of cards that describes cat behavior and translates it to human-speak. These cards are only $10, making them a great gift for your coworkers or a fun stocking stuffer.

What do dog owners love more than anything? Their furry pal. Help them show off their love with this gorgeous embroidered sweatshirt, which features their pooch prominently placed for everyone to see. You can even add a second pet if your giftee owns several.

If they're still rocking their trusty slippers from the Clinton administration, it's time to upgrade. Reviewers love this pair of Uggs, which feature a fur lining and rubber sole to help prevent slippage. 

Not sure what to get your boss? We love this stunning red plant from The Sill. It's a thoughtful gift they're sure to love, and you can the vase it comes with. The red bloom can last between 3-6 months, giving their home a pop of color every few months. 

If you've spent the year managing someone great, your gift to them should be equally splendid. If you're shopping for multiple reports, go for a nice bag of gourmet coffee (like Intelligentsia). But if you've got one stellar report you want to treat this season, we recommend the Ember Smart Mug, which keeps their brew warmed throughout the day. 

Baked By Melissa sells some of the tastiest baked goods out there. I've been ordering from them for the past five years and never had a disappointing box. Cupcakes are packaged perfectly and taste incredible, making them the best gift for the coworker on your list you're shopping for.

As the cooler weather rolls in, keep him warm and toasty with this five-star beanie from Carhartt. It's sold just about everywhere (Target, Dick's, Amazon, Walmart), easily fits in a stocking, and comes in a range of colors from black to pink. 

There's a whole lot of power stuffed inside this diamond-cleaning stick. It costs less than $10 but will keep her jewelry looking at sparkly as the day she got it. It's the perfect stocking stuffer for women and jewelry lovers of all ages.

We all know exactly what those little ones want from Santa — candy. Lots and lots of candy. You can stop by just about any store and grab seasonal varieties this year, but if you're looking to knock out a few stockings at once, we recommend this 18-pack of Ring Pops, Push Pops, and Baby Bottle Pops. 

The teen on your list needs to bring pencils to school — so why not give them one with a tiny little Lego figurine on it? This pencil from Cult Pens is only $7 but comes with its own built-in toy your teen is sure to enjoy using during class.

This is the best teether our toddler has ever used. For starters, it's adorable — it's a gorgeous lavender shade and features white accents on the buttons. It looks nearly identical to a PlayStation controller.
