With the millions of potential gift ideas [1] swirling around the interwebs and in picked-over stores, it can be hard to settle on what to get your friends and family for the holidays. If you're struggling to find the perfect gift for a parent friend or one of the kids on your list — or for something to tell Santa you'd like! — we have a few editor-approved ideas.
Ahead, see some of our most coveted gift picks of the year for our friends and families (but also kind of for ourselves).
Veer All-Terrain Cruiser Wagon
"My daughter is at the age where she wants to look and squirm any chance she gets. The Veer All-Terrain Cruiser Wagon [3] ($600) is a wagon that meets stroller safety standards, plus it has a number of different accessories to fully trick it out. It's definitely something I'm excited to use!" — Rebecca Brown, senior editor, Shopping and Family
Nintendo Switch Let's Go Pikachu! Bundle
"If your family doesn't own a Switch yet (it's seriously the most fun gaming system I've ever played with, for the record!), this Nintendo Switch Let's Go Pikachu! Bundle [4] ($400) comes with the Switch system, the new Let's Go Pikachu! version game (which '90s parents will want to take over and play themselves [5]), and the Pokéball Plus controller. It's so cute and such a great gift." — Alessis Santoro, editor, Family
The Wand by PureWine
"Kick that holiday party hangover to the curb with The Wand by PureWine [6] ($25 for eight). These handy-dandy little contraptions [7] remove histamines and sulfates from your vino, so bye-bye, headaches!" — Murphy Moroney, assistant editor, Family
Ember Copper Mug
This electronic Ember Copper Mug [8] ($130) saves you multiple trips to the microwave by keeping your drinks perfectly toasty from the first to last sip. I use the ceramic Ember Mug [9] every single day, but their newest copper version is absolutely dazzling. If you have a parent who loves their coffee — or hot toddies — this is an indulgent gift they'll really enjoy. — Angela Elias, director, Family
Triangle Round Playmat
"For a quick way to punch up a kid's room or nursery, this architectural Triangle Round Playmat [10] ($100) is at the top of my list. Not only is it organic, but it's also reversible — the other side is green." — RB
Freshly Picked Kids' Clothing
"My favorite kids' brand, Freshly Picked, recently released clothing [11], and every single piece is darling. My personal favorite item is the above-pictured BB Graphic Tee [12] ($38), which they paired in the photo with these adorable Olive Banded Bottom Joggers [13] ($40). Kids don't exactly love getting clothes for the holidays, but I don't know . . . this line might change that." — AS
Artifact Uprising Brass Easel & Calendar
"I've finally collected enough photos to warrant a family calendar. I love how tasteful and minimalist Artifact Uprising's Brass Easel & Calendar [14] ($60) is, and it makes for the perfect grandparents' gift [15]." — RB
Peyton & Parker Short Sleeve Shine Dresses
"This sweet little Peyton & Parker Short Sleeve Shine Dress [16] ($10) means your mini me can dress up for the holidays without completely breaking the bank." — MM
Mama Bear Scuff Slippers
Forget pajamas, these matching family slippers are the perfect gift for your favorite parents and kiddos. Available in Mama Bear [17] ($13), Papa Bear [18] ($15), and Lil Bear [19] ($13) styles, they'll keep the whole family cozy and Instagram-ready. For less than $15, who can beat that price? — AE
