The holidays bring out the best in us: warm lights glowing in the evenings, cozy breakfasts with family, and the quiet excitement of wrapping gifts late at night when the house is still. But let’s be honest, finding the right gift can still be stressful.

This year our team spent hours and days searching for thoughtful presents for everyone, from the little ones in the family to that colleague who is always impossible to read. We believe that celebration moments should be some of the happiest minutes of your life because you share them with people you care about and make them feel truly seen and happy.

So this holiday season we are aiming for fewer returns and fewer moments of “does anyone know what she likes” and more gifts that feel just right. We have turned all our research into this Holiday Gift Guide 2025, a collection of new and meaningful ideas that are fun to give and even better to receive.

Everything you will find here is handpicked to spark inspiration, and you can copy any idea straight into your Wishes wishlist. You will find a link to our curated wishlist at the end.
