The holidays can be stressful for so many reasons. So why not get a jump on things and start getting yourself prepared now? Take the time now to stock up on gifts that anyone (yep, we really mean everyone) will appreciate. From silly snow tubes (that are shaped like a peppermint or a pizza) to flavorful foodie finds (like honey-flavored shortbreads or caramels made with goat’s milk), we have compiled an extensive list for you to browse and discover just the right thing for all your special someones. We’ve rounded up tokens of appreciation for that teacher, dog walker, hairdresser, and babysitter on your holiday list—as well as items that will delight an entire family, like classic board games with modern packaging to fit on a bookshelf, or a fun, fresh alternative to the everyday piggy bank. Real Simple makes it easy for you to stop falling back on the generic gift card giving and go with a present that’s way more personal instead. Whether you are looking for an offering that is a classic crowd pleaser or a quirky surprise, we’ve amassed an exhaustive array of editor-approved products to suit all of your gift-giving needs. Even those hard-to-buy-for bosses and finicky friends will be covered with the myriad suggestions we have to offer. Best of all, you might just come across a few unique gifts that you will be interested in putting on your winter wish list as well. Don’t be shy—we have already done the same thing ourselves. You’re welcome.
