Holiday Shopping Guide: Trending Gifts for 2022 1

For the home chef

The Always Pan by Our Place

Price: $145 $99

@picturingsnacks #ad @Our Place #ad #gifted #food #alwayspan #pan #fryingpan #cooking #christmas #family #chicken #lunch #foodtiktok #yum #delicious #dinner #wrap ♬ Lazy Sunday – Official Sound Studio

Tired of digging through your bottom cabinets and searching for the right pan you need to get the job done? Well, just get rid of them and pick up an Always Pan!

OK, maybe it doesn’t have to be that drastic. But Our Place’s best-selling pan gives you nine instruments in one and is designed to replace your:

  • Frypan
  • Saute pan
  • Steamer 
  • Skillet
  • Saucier
  • Saucepan
  • Nonstick pan
  • Spatula 
  • Spoon rest

These tend to sell out quickly, so go ahead and score one while Our Place’s holiday deals are still around!

Osmo Salt’s Essentials Bundle

Price: $49.97 $42.99

@thegoldenbalance Breakfast Potatoes with @osmosalt’s BIG flakey white salt 🥔🧂#osmopartner #osmosalt #thegoldenbalance ♬ Background Hip Hop Beat – Oleg Fedak

Osmo Salt might just be the last topping salt you’ll ever buy. Just ask The Golden Balance and his 5.9 million TikTok followers—the stuff is bomb. 

We love the Essentials Bundle because it has the three, well, essentials:

  • Flakey white kosher salt
  • Black flakey sea salt 
  • Roasted garlic sea salt

And if you prefer your salt with a splash of booze mixed in, be sure to check out Osmo Salt’s four tasty drink rimmers

For in front of the fireplace

Oversized Cloud Linen Gauze Throw from Parachute Home

Price: $149

@parachutehome Spotlight on our Cloud Linen Gauze Throw — your own personal cloud. #MyParachuteHome ♬ original sound – Simp Archives

Parachute Home’s Oversized Cloud Linen Gauze Throw is about the closest you’ll get to snuggling up with your own little cloud. Plus, it’s versatile enough to take it from the fireplace in the winter to the beach in the summer. 

We especially love this throw (and all of Parachute’s products) because it’s made with ethical manufacturing and responsible materials. This one is definitely a purchase you can feel good about all around!

The Plush Lounge Socks from Cozy Earth

@veronicadaisy2 The best package every from cozy earth!! Wearing a size xs small in both top and bottoms🖤 Use code: VERONICADAISY40 to get 40% off your purchase. #ad ♬ original sound – Veronica Baker

The Cozy Earth Plush Lounge Socks are the perfect fit for lounging around the house, but you can get great use out of them no matter what you’re up to. And with three-packs in five color variations, you’ll surely find the perfect combo to match any vibe. 

Oh, and we should probably mention that these socks are “Oprah’s Favorite.” Comfy, stylish, and backed by Oprah—what more could you ask for?

Chubbies’ Tie Dye Mistle Toes Socks

Grab some Chubbies Tie Dye Mistle Toes Socks and give someone the love their feet deserve. We dig these socks for the holiday season, but if you’re looking for something a little more evergreen, there are 10 more funky style options to help you strut your stuff. 

For sipping

Recess Infused Sparkling Water – The New Mood Sampler

Price: $29.99 (8-pack)

@alltheperks As a sparkling water connoisseur, I highly recommend these. @takearecess #ad ♬ original sound – Sarah Perkins 💖

If you haven’t heard, Recess makes some pretty delicious sparkling water infused with mood-lifting, magnesium-balancing adaptogens. We love the New Mood Sampler because it comes with four fun flavors, including:

  • Strawberry rose
  • Raspberry lemon
  • Lime citrus
  • Grapefruit tangerine

Anyone can enjoy these sparkling waters, but they’re also the perfect sippers for your sober or sober-curious friend. Or maybe just for that buddy you know will need a little boost after having too much eggnog on Christmas Eve. 

For the home

Pura Smart Fragrance Diffuser – Seasonal Best Sellers

Price: $73.99 

@eastcoastdiy @Pura #trypura #smarthome #holidaygiftideas #blackfriday ♬ original sound – East Coast DIY

There’s no better way to set the mood for a holiday gathering than with a Pura Smart Fragrance Diffuser. And in our opinion, the Seasonal Best Sellers variety pack is your best bet. Here’s what’s included:

  • A Pura Smart Fragrance Diffuser 
  • A Holly Berry fragrance pod (Pura)
  • A Tinsel & Spice fragrance pod (Capri Blue)

Aside from the cozy aromas, we love that you can use the Pura app to control the diffuser from anywhere, create custom schedules, oscillate between multiple scents, and play with some pretty cool other features, too.

Frequently Asked Questions

You probably won’t find one gift site that is perfect for everyone on your list, but here are a handful of our favorite places we recommend starting:

  • Etsy
  • Uncommon Goods
  • Atlas Coffee Club
  • Fancy.com
  • Jungalow
  • Goldbelly
  • Harry & David
  • Personalization Mall
  • Shutterfly
  • Zazzle

You can also head over to TikTok and type “best gift ideas,” “unique gifts,” or something similar into the search bar. There will be plenty of creators on the platform ready to give you a helping hand!

Finding the perfect gift can be a challenge—especially for the person who seems to have it all. But here are a few things to consider as you go about your holiday shopping:

  • What do they love to do? Sometimes getting someone an “experience” instead of a “thing” is the best route.
  • Who do they love most? Maybe you can get something that will make them think of their loved ones every time they see it.
  • What’s something they would use regularly but never buy themselves? This is a good call for the more frugal names on your list.
  • What’s their favorite store or restaurant? If you can’t think of a specific item, a gift card is always a safe bet!

The most thoughtful gifts are the ones that evoke an emotion when opened. Think of an experience you’ve shared or a memory from their past, and look for something that will make them remember that moment fondly. 

If you still need some inspiration, here is a list of gift ideas that we’re sure almost everyone could enjoy:
