        We all know Christmas is about more than the gifts, but festive shopping is part of the seasonal fun. As a shopping writer and self-proclaimed excellent gift giver, I get a flurry of excitement during the Yuletide season because I get to share my favorite beauty, fashion, and lifestyle Christmas gifts\u2014the ones I\u2019ve given, received, or have on my wish list this year.\n<\/p>\n

        Consider the following advice when mulling over what makes a must-have Christmas gift for your bestie, girlfriend, parent, sibling, or significant other: \u201cThe best Christmas and Hanukkah gifts are those that make the practical feel special,\u201d says stylist and buying expert Sheyna Imm, who has a roster of clients in Paris and New York. I surveyed all my friends and family (of various ages and genders), as well as pulled inspiration from my own wish list, to see what they really want this year for Christmas. Ahead, discover the best Christmas gifts for turning out the most fabulous holiday season.\n<\/p>\n

        OK, razors may not be the first thing you think of when you think of a Christmas gift (they\u2019re not exactly glamorous), but it\u2019s a practical, gender-neutral gift that most need\u2014and will thank you for. My go-to razor brand is Harry\u2019s (I swear by men\u2019s razors for a better shave) because of their aloe-infused lubricating strip. You can even gift a Harry\u2019s subscription for a time span of your choosing.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

        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\u2019t always the greatest (and you can avoid fighting over the mirror if you\u2019re traveling with friends or a partner), but you won\u2019t have to worry about that with a portable mirror.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

        A new calendar is on my Christmas list every year, and after owning many, Papier calendars are my favorite. They\u2019re 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.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

        Who wouldn\u2019t like a nice pair of leather gloves, especially ones that are cashmere-lined? Quince is selling this pair for less than $50. They\u2019re made from lambskin leather with 100% Grade-A Mongolian cashmere lining, are touchscreen-friendly, and come in black or brown.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

        For the nail lover, gift them an at-home gel kit like this 68-piece set by Beetles. It\u2019s available on Amazon and comes with 35 gel nail polishes, one base coat, one no-wipe top coat, one matte top coat, one glitter top coat, a professional UV lamp, and various nail tools, all for under $50.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I swear by their Active polishes for the times when I don\u2019t want a bold color, but still want my nails to look nice. They have nail-enhancing benefits, too; this set has the Active Glow, Active Plump, and Active Bright formulas.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

        After trying the Rhode Glazing Milk for myself, I can confirm it really is worth the hype. For the beauty lover in your life, they\u2019re sure to love the Rhode Glazed Skincare Essentials, which comes with mini sizes of the Glazing Milk, Pineapple Refresh (a gentle exfoliant), Barrier Restore Cream, and Peptide Glazing Fluid.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

        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.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

        My 54-year-old mom swears by Soma\u2019s 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\u2019re 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).\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

        Skims pajamas are on my list every year, and for good reason, as they\u2019re 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.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

        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 discovered this after smelling it on a friend and immediately falling in love with the cozy, warm, and delicious marshmallow, mahogany wood, and cold milk notes. I\u2019ve been wearing it ever since, and it never fails to bring in compliments.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

        Another great gift for the man in your life, the new Lululemon x NFL collection with Fanatics is incredibly sharp and ridiculously comfortable. They also have a woman’s collection (I’ve been wearing this half-zip nonstop). I’m a Detroit Lions fan, hence why I love these men’s sweats, but they have something for every team.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

        I love this for the beauty lover who can\u2019t justify spending their own money on a pricey custom hairbrush, but wouldn’t mind shelling out for the perfect personalized beauty gift for someone special. This is a gift that will be loved, cherished, and displayed on a beautifully curated vanity.

        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.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

        A pair of knee-high boots is a winter shoe staple\u2014but since they can run a bit pricey, we\u2019re not always willing to buy them for ourselves, which is why they\u2019re 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.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

        If you\u2019re 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\u2019t love the new Columbia Amaze Puff jacket any more if I tried. It feels super high-quality; it\u2019s 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).\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

        You really can\u2019t 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\u2019ve ever owned, and I like that it\u2019s slightly heavy, giving it a weighted feel.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

        An LED mask is one of the best Christmas gifts money can buy, if you ask me.

It can help with anti-aging, acne, dullness, and even has a cooling mode to help with under-eye puffiness.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

It\u2019s always a hit, and even more, it\u2019s practical\u2014most 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.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
