Harry’s Original Shaving Kit for Men

$16 at Amazon

OK, razors may not be the first thing you think of when you think of a Christmas gift (they’re not exactly glamorous), but it’s a practical, gender-neutral gift that most need—and will thank you for. My go-to razor brand is Harry’s (I swear by men’s razors for a better shave) because of their aloe-infused lubricating strip. You can even gift a Harry’s subscription for a time span of your choosing.

LitBear Travel Makeup Mirror with Lights

$30

$25 at Amazon

I gifted a travel lighted makeup mirror to a friend a few years ago, and she still talks about how great of a gift it was. For those who are constantly on the road or catching flights, a portable makeup mirror is one of the best practical gifts they could receive. Hotel lighting isn’t always the greatest (and you can avoid fighting over the mirror if you’re traveling with friends or a partner), but you won’t have to worry about that with a portable mirror.

$40 at Papier.com

A new calendar is on my Christmas list every year, and after owning many, Papier calendars are my favorite. They’re not only affordable, especially for hardcovers, but they also have the most adorable designs and prints (I love this blue and brown polka dot one). The brand also carries recipe books (a great gift for the person in your life who loves to cook), journals, and more.

ORDO Sonic+ Electric Toothbrush

$100

$45 at Amazon$70 at Target

When I asked my parents what they want for Christmas this year, they said a nice, aesthetic electric toothbrush set. After some research, I found this electric toothbrush from Ordo, which not only gets the job done well, but also looks nice on a bathroom vanity. I love the charcoal gray, a great gender-neutral option.

Soma Cool Nights Robe

$89

$67 at Soma.com

My 54-year-old mom swears by Soma’s Cool Nights line, fabric made from cooling, lightweight rayon fibers, to help control her night sweats. While the line is incredible for those who suffer from night sweats or just run hot in general, I also love their Cool Nights Short Robe for getting ready. A short-sleeve robe is the perfect getting-ready outfit so that you’re not breaking out in a sweat while blow drying your hair, running around your room picking out an outfit, etc. (we all know how that goes).

AE x Tru Kolors by Travis Kelce Heavyweight Brushed Plaid Overshirt

Don’t know what to get your brother, dad, boyfriend, husband, or the other men in your life for Christmas? I got this heavyweight plaid flannel from Travis Kelce’s collection with American Eagle for my brother, and he’s been wearing it nonstop. It’s super comfy and warm, perfect for winter.

Ugg Classic Slipper

$100 at Nordstromrack.com$110 at Dsw.comView on Kickscrew.com

The Ugg Classic Slippers are a gift I ask for every year. While they’re great for wearing around the house and lounging (they keep my feet so cozy and warm), I actually like that they’re cute enough to wear out and run errands in. My feet slip right in hands-free, and I like that they have a slight platform.

Neom Tortoiseshell Wellbeing Pod Essential Oil Diffuser

View on Neomwellbeing.com

Have you ever seen a chicer essential oil diffuser than this tortoiseshell printed one from Neom Wellbeing? The tortoiseshell cover is glass, making it look extra elevated and high-quality sitting on any surface. It has a dimmable light setting as well, so it can serve as the finish touch to your nightstand.

AquaTru Shower Head & Filter

You’ll be shocked at how much of a difference you notice in your skin and hair after getting a shower filter.

I couldn’t be more obsessed with activewear and loungewear brand Beyond Yoga if I tried. I’ve fallen in love with every piece I’ve tried, from their lightweight long sleeves to their fleece-lined leggings and cropped crewnecks. I would gift the Beyond Yoga LuxeFleece Oversized Sweatshirt and LuxeFleece Wide Leg Pant to my best friend, mom, aunt, and virtually any other woman in my life who loves a soft, cozy set to live in this winter (it’s also a great gift for those who work from home).

Skims Soft Lounge Sleep Set

$128 at Skims.com

Skims pajamas are on my list every year, and for good reason, as they’re some of the most comfortable, cozy, and soft pajamas I own. I love that, although this Soft Lounge Sleep Set is long sleeves and long pants, I never feel too hot in them thanks to the breathable modal fabric.

$155 at SephoraView on Commodityfragrances.com

If I could only wear one perfume for the rest of my life, let it be known that it would be the viral Commodity Milk Expressive Eau de Parfum.

I’ve been wearing it ever since, and it never fails to bring in compliments.

Detroit Lions lululemon Steady State Jogger

View on Fanatics.com

Another great gift for the man in your life, the new Lululemon x NFL collection with Fanatics is incredibly sharp and ridiculously comfortable.

If you have any loved ones living in a city where they walk everywhere, a Hulken bag is an essential. I live in New York City and the rolling tote bag is a lifesaver, whether I’m lugging my groceries home or headed to the laundromat. It’s also great to keep in the car to easily bring your groceries inside in one trip.

Dolce Vita Auggie Boots

$250 at Amazon$250 at Zappos$250 at Dolcevita.com

A pair of knee-high boots is a winter shoe staple—but since they can run a bit pricey, we’re not always willing to buy them for ourselves, which is why they’re the perfect fun-yet-practical gift. My favorite pair is the Dolce Vita Auggie Boots, a knee-high length with a kitten heel. They come in both suede and leather, and are available in six shades, as well as narrow calf, standard, wide calf, and extra wide calf sizing.

Coach Maxi Sculpted C Oval Sunglasses

$203 at Amazon$203 at Coach.com

A pair of designer sunglasses will make anyone feel chic. I’ve had my eye on (no pun intended) the Coach Maxi Sculpted C Oval Sunglasses for months. The larger, rounder frames are right on trend, and I love the gold Coach logo on the sides.

Columbia Amaze Puff Jacket

View on Dick’sView on Macy’s$200 at Columbia.com

If you’re like me, having to spend money on a new winter coat is a chore, which is why I would love to receive one as a gift. In particular, I couldn’t love the new Columbia Amaze Puff jacket any more if I tried. It feels super high-quality; it’s thick, warm, and has the perfect amount of puff without feeling too stuffy. Not to mention the gorgeous color selections (I have the chocolate brown) and three different lengths (regular, mid-length, and long).

Cozy Earth Bubble Cuddle Blanket

$228

$167 at Cozy Earth

You really can’t go wrong with gifting anything from Cozy Earth, from their bamboo sheets to their comfy pajama sets. But if I had to pick just one thing from the brand, it has to be their Bubble Cuddle Blanket. I use this daily, especially during the colder months; it really is the coziest, most comfortable blanket I’ve ever owned, and I like that it’s slightly heavy, giving it a weighted feel.

Best Under $400

Shark Beauty CryoGlow Cooling + LED Face Mask

$350 at Amazon$349 at Sephora$350 at Dermstore

An LED mask is one of the best Christmas gifts money can buy, if you ask me. In particular, I love the viral Shark CryoGlow LED Face Mask, an impressive pick that offers a wide variety of treatments in one mask. It can help with anti-aging, acne, dullness, and even has a cooling mode to help with under-eye puffiness.

July Luggage

View on July.com

I have asked for luggage as a Christmas gift in the past, and have also gifted luggage myself. It’s always a hit, and even more, it’s practical—most of us could probably use a luggage upgrade. My go-to is July, specifically their Carry On; I have the adorable blush pink color (it garners so many compliments). I recommend this variation because of the incredible features, like the ejectable battery to charge your tech and a hidden laundry bag.

New, nice sheets are a simple luxury—and one of my absolute favorite long-lasting and high-quality sheets is Brooklinen’s sets.

Plus, because of how lightweight linen is, it’s particularly great for hot sleepers.

Dyson Airwrap Coanda2x

$749 at Sephora$750 at Dyson.com$750 at Best Buy

Although the new Dyson Airwrap Co-anda2x Multi-Styler is definitely an investment, we think it’s worth it for the person in your life who styles their hair regularly. For starters, it’s less damaging on the hair than most traditional styling tools. Not to mention it styles and dries hair incredibly fast, is lightweight, and comes with five attachments.
