But Christmas gifts are a broad category. How do you find the very best Christmas gifts, especially when you have a long list of people to shop for? Dwell editor Megan Reynolds suggests, “The best gifts are ones tailored to the individual. When that’s not possible, everyone could use a SodaStream (seltzer on demand is luxury).” So, when in doubt, spring for a fancy gadget or something that fills a need the recipient didn’t know they had. Giving a good gift requires thought, but not too much thought. Team SPY has plenty of ideas for what that could look like. Read on for the 100 best Christmas gifts.
Ordinary Habit Christmas in the City Puzzle
Price: $48.00
“There’s probably a puzzle-lover on your list. Give them an Ordinary Habit puzzle,” says SPY contributor Leslie Horn Peterson. “They’re charming and of the highest quality, and [the] perfect holiday season pick.”
Aarke Carbonator 3
Price: $199.00 – $259.00

Crocs Clogs
Price: $49.99 $29.99
“Crocs have made a comeback. They’re useful house shoes and are great for gardening, camping, and cleaning. The lined ones also make excellent slippers once temperatures dip. They’re not the sexiest shoes out there, but that’s the point,” says Galla.
Breads Bakery Chocolate Babka
Price: $54.95
“No, this is not a gift specifically tailored to an individual, but it is a crowd-pleaser,” says Horn Peterson. “Who wouldn’t love a three-pack of Babka?”

Parachute Home Linen Waffle Tabletop Collection Napkins

“A Flamin’ Hot Cheetos ornament? This is so silly. Which means it has white elephant gift written all over it,” says Horn Peterson.
DS & Durga Portable Fireplace Candle

“Another fun option for a gift that keeps on giving is a scented candle from a storied brand in an unexpected scent,”says Reynolds.
Monaco Car Poster

Bombas Ski Snowboard Socks
Price: $86.00
“Socks as a gift are sort of played out, but we’re only talking tube socks,” says Horn Peterson.
Williams Sonoma Peppermint Bark Sampler
Price: $49.95 – $99.90
“When I was in college, I worked at Williams Sonoma every holiday season. And the peppermint bark was always a top-selling item. Why? Because this product is genuinely good,” says Horn Peterson.
National Parks Project Fleece
Price: $140.00

Le Creuset Mini Stone Ropund Cocotte
