It’s that time of year again — you know, the season for fa la la-ing and extreme shopping. Between the holiday cookie swaps, white elephant parties, office Secret Santas, and holly jolly happy hours, it’s easy to run out of time and find yourself in a bind when it comes to finding the perfect gift. Plus, coming up with awesome ideas isn't always easy (hello, every mom everywhere who "doesn't need anything"), even when you have all the time in the world to plan. We know how tempting it is to fall back into the holiday comfort zone of gift cards (no judgements!), so we’re here to offer all the inspo needed for getting a bit more creative this year.

We’ve partnered with Google Pixel 2 to bring you 25 gifts that’ll wow anyone on your list, from your boss to your best friend. Whether they love home decor, are pros in the kitchen, live for their pup, or just can't get enough coffee, we've got them covered with fun and practical ideas. Grab some spiked hot cocoa (because we're feeling festive), start shopping your way to the Best Gift Giver award (it’s a thing), and bid holiday shopping stress bye for good.
