Taper-Leg Athletic Pants

"My fiancé, while stylish, has very specific taste. In the past, my attempts to get him clothing have always failed just because of how particular he is. But these Nike sweats will be a win for sure. He'll love the modern fit and that he can wear them inside or outside of the gym. Especially in black, you really can't go wrong!" — Kathleen Harper, associate native fashion editor

eos Limited Edition Holiday Lip Balm 3-Pack Set

"When it comes to lip balm, my mother stans eos. She even has one tiny sphere engraved. Needless to say, scoring a set of three for $10 is the ideal stocking stuffer for her. Forget everything else, this will make her day." — Sam Sasso, associate native beauty editor

Holiday Pet Jacket

"Every year, my family and I go in on gift for our dog, Cody. It's always something we pick out together, and usually it's a toy, but this cozy, festive jacket is way too adorable to pass up. I can't wait to see him rocking this on Christmas morning — just think of the photos!" — KH

Essential Oils Diffuser

"My friends and I are all a bit obsessed with skin care, and hydration is key, especially during the dry AF Winter months. My BFF is going to be obsessed with this diffuser — she can use it overnight to add a dash of humidity to her bedroom air, plus a few drops of an essential oil like lavender or bergamot will add a subtle, soothing scent." — AK

Wireless Earphones

"My husband travels a lot for work, and he's always looking for good, reliable headphones for the plane. I think he would love these for their durability and sleek design — no bulky headphone case here!" — AM

Trivia Game

"The smartest move anyone can make around the holidays is to have several board games on deck because, well, everyone's usually a fan. My friend hosts a monthly game night, and she's a trivia buff, so the Ultimate Pub Trivia Game is the kind of gift I know she'll love — and actually use." — SS

Copper Head Massager

Copper Head Massager

"This may seem like a simple gift, but trust me — these head massagers are the ultimate crowd-pleaser. Last year, I gave one to everyone on my list (including myself), and my family couldn't stop raving about how genius the idea was. You can't even begin to understand how amazing this massager will make you feel until you've experienced it yourself. I'm telling you, put one in everyone's stocking!" — KH

7-in-1 Programmable Pressure Cooker

"My dad is all about the quick, one-step meals — he loves anything you can throw on the grill or in a pan and be done with using minimal effort. I think the Instant Pot is going to become his new weeknight go-to for things like tacos and steak stir-fry." — AK

Elizabeth and James Nirvana Rose Perfume

"I have this perfume myself, and I love it so much that this year, I'm gifting it to my best friend. Not only is the bottle sleek and modern — perfect for dressing up any vanity — but the rose scent is addicting and lasts all day." — KH

5-in-1 Indoor Grill

"My mother is the first to admit that she's not the most talented chef in the world. Even so, she's also the first person to get her hands on cool kitchen gadgets that make her life easier and maybe improve her cooking skills. This Ninja Indoor Grill won't just make preparing weeknight dinners quicker (and, hopefully, tastier), but it offers up a variety of cooking options from grilling to air-frying to baking. It's the do-it-all product she probably always needed." — SS

Hand Cream Trio Gift Set

"If left to his own devices, my father would leave my mom's stocking pretty sparse on Christmas morning. I love to stock up on a few small items, like this hand cream set, that I can give to him to give to my mom. Favorite daughter? I better be!" — AM
