For the man who likes to stay finely groomed: ManCave Gift Sets

When the blade has reached the end of its life, easily replace just the blade.
Their gorgeous storefront, built with Shogun Frontend, showcases the elegant beauty of the simple shaver with quickly loading imagery that shows every angle.
For a more personalized skincare regimen: TULA Holiday Gift Kits
Skin comes in many forms, and TULA knows this. That’s why they provide a quiz to help shoppers find just the right products for their unique epidermis.
When shopping for someone else, though, you might do well to peruse TULA’s gift kits so you can get more for less.
#cta-paragraph-fe#TULA has created a stellar shopping experience by going headless with Shogun Frontend. Not only that, but after switching to Frontend, their site speed increased by a whopping 35%.

#cta-paragraph-pb#Hippy Feet not only carries great socks in their Shogun-built ecommerce store, but they also donate 50% of profits to support homeless youth and provide them with employment.
For simplifying someone’s everyday carry: The Ridge Wallet
Wallets are great. They hold our cards, our cash, our “very important” scraps of paper—but at a certain point, you are just left with a massive lump of leather that doesn’t allow for sitting normally.
The Ridge’s simplified wallet solution cuts out the unnecessary while still packing in all the essential stuff.
This classic and sturdy wallet will accommodate cards and cash while fitting slimly into a front pocket.

For keeping warm wherever you are: Rumpl Puffy Blanket
Rumpl isn’t the first company to take on the problem of staying cozy outdoors, but they are the first to come up with a “sleeping bag blanket.” That’s quite the innovation.
Built not only for function but also for style, the NanoLoft insulation keeps hikers warm at the mountain top while the Patch Fade Cool design signals coolness to other passing hikers.

Munchable/quaffable gifts: Snacks & beverages
Finding amazing stuff to put into our mouths is what humans excel at—salty, sweet, boozy, whatever. It can be for nostalgia or novelty, but it must be good. So, you can’t fail at gifting when you give the right tasty treat.
For when local snacks aren’t enough: Bokksu Classic Gift Box
Unless you live in Japan, you are unlikely to get to nibble on the unique snacks they take for granted. While not everyone desires a shake-up in their snack routine, you probably know someone ready for something different.
Bokksu supplies monthly boxes of delicious Japanese snacks with literature included that explains everything inside.
The monthly surprise factor is enough to excite the lucky recipient.
For a fresh way to brew coffee: Copper Cow Coffee Subscription
Coffee never gets boring for those of us who imbibe it daily, but finding a fun new way to brew is always a welcome gift.

Unwinding gifts: Self-care
Taking care of oneself is essential to a life well-lived. Finding the tools to enable this self-care can help your loved ones (or yourself) find some space for themselves.
For destressing with relaxing aromas: NEOM Wellbeing Pod Luxe
Self-care has many dimensions, but one undeniable piece is good smells. Who feels great when it smells bad?
Give someone the gift of good smells with NEOM’s essential oil mister. They can fill their homes with relaxing scents and gentle light all at the same time.
For sharing the self-care message with the world: Self-Care Is For Everyone
Another dimension of self-care is about the messaging people surround themselves with.
Doomscrolling Twitter isn’t doing anyone any good—especially these days.
Self-Care Is For Everyone understands the power of good messaging. With one of their cozy sweaters, the wearer can remind themselves and tell the world that “You Are Enough.”
Gift someone some self-care messaging. Or just get it for yourself.
Gifts for the little ones: Baby & children
Arguably the most fun group to shop for, children are also the most fun to watch opening their gifts. Some of these gifts are to make their parents’ lives easier, some to increase the joy (and noise) in the house.
For when it’s time to play: Mastermind Toys Gift Finder
Children are by far the ones most excited about the prospect of getting gifts. It makes sense—toys and games are so much more fun than socks.
Instead of choosing a single toy from Mastermind, we’re linking to their helpful gift finder. From there, you can narrow it down by age, type of toy, gender, and budget.
Whoever the lucky (and super ecstatic) recipient of your gift is will be happily surprised when they tear off all the wrapping paper.
For dads that are ready for anything: Tactical Baby Gear Carrier Bundle
Being a parent is one of the most rewarding experiences, but it comes with its share of difficulties, many rather messy. That’s why being prepared for whatever is a critical parental trait.
Tactical Baby Gear is all about being ready for any messy situation so that you can approach them like a pro.
This baby carrier and fanny pack bundle keeps everything in its right place—baby on the chest, all the essentials at the belly, hands completely free for managing everything else.
For stylishly protecting those little footsies: BirdRock Baby
Teeny tiny, soft, and chubby, a baby’s foot is constantly at risk of being eaten up by zealous aunts, uncles, grandparents, and family friends. So, you need to keep them protected.
BirdRock Baby’s Waves Bundle is the perfect gift to encase those delicate footsies stylishly. You can choose sizing for each, so as they grow, they’ll always have ocean-themed footwear.
Gifts that’ll have them howling: Petcare
Pets are the best—cuddly mobile afghans that need your care to survive. And they need gifts like anyone else (even if they have no idea what day of the year it is). Here are some pet gifts that’ll have them wagging.
For treating your furry friend to something special: Charmy Customization Box
You could also gift your favorite canine a monthly subscription of yummy treats that keep them healthy and well-trained.
Charmy has treat boxes for all types of dogs. If your pup isn’t “small but mighty,” they also have boxes for large and medium-sized dogs, as well as for your feline friends.
Gifts that defy categorization: Fun stuff
Some gifts don’t fit nicely into one pat category, as you will see below. If you got this far without finding something fitting, you might find it here.
