Whether Your Budget Is $20 or $2000, These New Arrivals Make Perfect Holiday Gifts

The magic of in-person shopping during the holiday season is undeniable. The decorations, the seasonal music, the heavenly smells wafting from the pretzel kiosk—even as a digital fashion editor, I can recognize that it doesn’t get more nostalgic than this. But the holiday season also means crowds, long lines, and the chance of not finding what you’re looking for. So to give you a dose of holiday retail cheer and the ease and convenience of online shopping, this story is fully dedicated to showcasing a few of our favorite brands and products that make perfect gifts. Consider each section its own little shop curated just for you. From viral beauty favorites to the trending accessories of the season, the following 36 products will have you checking off your shopping list in no time.

Up first we have Byredo, an editor-favorite brand that boasts beautifully scented products in equally as beautiful packaging. This holiday season, give the gift of signature fragrances in candle, perfume, haircare, or makeup form. For winter footwear, there’s no brand I rely on more heavily than Dr. Martens. Its signature 1460s, platform boots, moto styles, and tassel loafers strike the perfect balance of classic and on-trend gift options. For luxe accessories, I’ve been loving everything from Jimmy Choo—particularly the party heels and the leopard-print hobo bag. All these gifts and so many more can be shopped out below.

Byredo is a brand that editors return to time and again for its signature scents and makeup. It’s easy to be drawn in by the products’ aesthetic packaging, but the quality is what will keep you coming back. Some Who What Wear favorites are Mojave Ghost, Bibliothèque, and Blanche. Mojave Ghost and Bibliothèque are woody and aromatic, while Blanche is more floral. Whether your loved one is looking to unwrap a candle, a discovery set, or a new perfume, any of the six items below will be a hit.

No brand evokes more nostalgia than Dr. Martens, and I love how it’s been approaching its new collections. This season, the brand is offering new takes on classic styles like the legendary 1460 and platform boots. But if you’re looking for some more trendy options, I’d go with the biker boots or the leather tassel loafers. There’s a reason Dr. Martens has been a mainstay in the fashion scene for decades: Its boots are reliable, comfortable, and most importantly, effortlessly cool. I, for one, would love to unwrap a pair of these this holiday season.

Next up is Jimmy Choo, the aspirational luxury brand we all admire. From slick, black ankle boots to leopard-print hobo bags, the brand’s winter collection has nailed what consumers want this holiday season. Not only do these pieces make great gifts, but they also make great self-purchases—I’ve got my eye on a few party pieces that deserve a night on the town. The Stevie Heel and Callie Bag are my choices, what will yours be?

Truth be told, the easiest gifts you can give are from the beauty section on QVC—it’s the ideal destination if you want to get a deal on multiple products at once. It offers skincare devices like the cult-favorite NuFace Trinity+ (which always warrants a long thank-you card); gift sets like the Tarte Maracuja Juicy Lip Plump Set and Buxom Plumping Lip Liner Collection; and even the viral hair tools that TikTok typically sells out in minutes. Trust me: These six products don’t even scratch the surface of what QVC has to offer.

Back in the day, a holiday trip to the mall was never complete without a stop at Express. This iconic brand is home to so many wardrobe staples that you can wear everywhere from work to dinner to every holiday party you’re attending. Not only will the pieces I found make great gifts for any fashion lover, but they’ll also help you create stylish party looks this season.

Last but certainly not least, I must show some love to Michael Kors‘ holiday collection. As if my accessories wish list was not long enough, this collection launched just in time for the gifting season. I don’t know what I love more: the gold watch ring or the red, trapezoid-shaped shoulder bag. If I’m being honest with myself, I’ll probably end up with both. Michael Kors is another brand that balances classic and trendy so well, making it the perfect option for a variety of personal styles.
