2025 Gift Guide
Ladies, holiday gifting season is here, and if your brain is already doing that little panic dance, take a breath. I pulled together my most trusted, chic, “you seriously can’t mess this up” gifts for everyone on your list. Thoughtful, elevated, and actually useful… because we’re not doing chaos gifting this year.
Make yourself a cozy drink, grab your notes app, and let’s make your shopping feel way more effortless.
for him
Men. Love them… but they truly never know what they want. So I did the heavy lifting for you with gifts he’ll use daily — not once, not twice, but genuinely every day. These are the “trust me, he’ll be obsessed” picks. The things I buy Serg, then somehow end up stealing because they’re too good.
Think elevated basics, smart little upgrades, and those well-made pieces he didn’t know he needed but will absolutely thank you for.
teen boys
Teen boys are in their own universe — equal parts chill and impossible to shop for. So I kept this guide cool, current, and zero percent cringe. Useful gadgets, cozy-but-not-sloppy pieces, and trend-forward items like this sweatshirt that make you look like the fun aunt/cool mom without even trying.
Stuff they’ll actually use… not toss under the bed.
for her
This one is my favorite because gifting for the women in your life should feel fun, not stressful. Whether you’re spoiling your sister, your best friend, your mom, or yourself (which I fully endorse), these gifts are the chic, thoughtful staples I reach for year after year. I bought this for my bestie and she’s obsessed.
Pretty beauty picks, elevated everyday pieces, cozy winter luxuries — all the things she’ll genuinely love. If she’s a traveler, check out my 11 Things I Couldn’t Live Without in October post too. Trust me… it’s a good one.
Teen Girls
Teen girls have opinions… and taste. So I made sure this list feels youthful, fun, and fresh without veering into “trying too hard.” Think cute accessories she’ll wear immediately, beauty must-haves she’ll show her friends, and little lifestyle pieces (like this record player) she’ll add to her room the second she opens them.
These are the gifts that get the “Omg WAIT I love this” reaction.
in-laws
In-laws can be a tricky category, but this guide makes it easy. Polished, home-focused, cozy, and universally loved — the kind of gifts that feel thoughtful without being overly personal. These are the things that say, “Yes, I absolutely have it together,” even if you added them to your cart during a late-night scroll.
Co-workers
Office gifting walks a very fine line, so I rounded up neutral, elevated, no-fail picks that hit perfectly. Professional but warm. Useful without being random. Nothing too personal, nothing too boring. Your work bestie, your boss, the girl who always brings the good snacks — covered.
under $100
Let’s be real… some of the best gifts don’t need to be a big splurge. This list is full of the under-$100 gems that feel way more luxe than their price tag.
These are the gifts I keep stocked for last-minute exchanges, white elephant nights I actually want to win, and the girlfriends who deserve something thoughtful without you blowing your whole holiday budget. Cozy socks, makeup favorites, and luxe jewelry are always go-to’s! P.S. This one looks look luxe, under $100 and comes with lifetime guarantee!
wish list
If you need ideas for what to ask for this year, just send this list straight to your partner and call it a day. It’s full of little luxuries, beauty favorites, cozy staples (this scarf is INCREDIBLE), and the essentials that just make life easier.
A mix of everyday upgrades and treat-yourself moments — because you deserve both.
Final Thoughts…
I hope these guides make your holiday gifting feel a whole lot easier and way more fun. I love sharing pieces that feel thoughtful, chic, and genuinely giftable — the things I keep coming back to year after year because they just work.
Save this post to reference while you’re shopping, send it to your group chat, and come back anytime you need a little inspo. We’re doing stress-free gifting this season, okay?
xoxo, Lucy
