Gift Guide: Where to Get Started This Season

The holiday season is officially in full swing. Christmas, Hanukkah and even just celebrating the season with friends all typically include gifts. The list of people to get presents for can sometimes feel overwhelming. If homemade crafts won’t do the trick, here are some websites to help you get started on finding the perfect gift for everyone on your list.

1. Amazon

Seems pretty obvious. This is always the best place to start, no matter what you need. A helpful trick for finding gifts is to look under “explore new and interesting finds,” usually displayed in a banner along the top of the home page. Here you can find quirky and fun items in all price ranges that make great presents.

2. Uncommon Goods

The name of this website is fairly self-explanatory. They have practically everything you never knew you needed. They also include tons of different gift guides that help you narrow your search to find something for everyone. You can find some really unique and fun stuff on this site.

3. Subscription Boxes

From Hello Fresh to Ipsy, subscription boxes make really fun gifts. You can find boxes for food, makeup, fashion or even wine and beer. Gifting someone anywhere from one month to a full year’s subscription makes for a gift that literally keeps on giving. These make for unique gifts that no one saw coming.

4. Etsy

Etsy is a great place to find personalized gifts. If you’re looking for a gift with a lot of meaning behind it, this is a good place to start. You can find everything from customized jewelry to one of a kind art pieces. Everyone loves to receive a gift that’s made specifically for them. It’s a great way to make people feel special and really show you put effort into their present.

5. Sugarfina

Sugarfina is an upscale candy store with unique candy and adorable packaging. They’re famous for their rosé and champagne flavored gummies (neither contain any real alcohol), and all of it comes in their iconic square candy boxes. Their candy makes great stocking stuffers, or you can buy several different types of candy and package it in one of their trademarked “Bento boxes.” Sugarfina is definitely on the pricier side of candy, but you can get candy from anywhere and wrap it up nicely for the same vibe. After all, everyone loves candy, no matter how fancy it may be.
