25 Christmas Gifts ELLE Editors Are Giving This Season

“My mother-in-law already has everything she needs. So it can be hard to decide what to get her, but this precious notebook by Dior feels just right. She enjoys journaling and this will be another special place for her to write down her thoughts.”—ABP

“This new scent has become one of my personal favorites. It’s so good that I want every woman in my life to experience it, but I know my aunt who has quite a perfume collection will certainly appreciate the elegant scent.”—ABP

“My mom’s job keeps her on her feet for most of the day, and she tends to wear the same shoes throughout winter. When I noticed her current Uggs were looking a bit worse for wear, I decided it was time for a new set. I recently saw her eyeing the Classic Mini Alpines in a magazine, and I just know she’ll appreciate the upgrade.”—Leah Romero, Senior Digital Designer

“I grew up cooking and baking with my mom, so this gorgeous plant-based cookbook—put together by influencer and food photographer Chloé Crane-Leroux and her own mother—is a fitting gift and addition to her kitchen. It’s as much a feast for the eyes as it is for the stomach.”—AB

“Besides them being everywhere in 2024, bag or phone charms are really easy gifts for when you want something fun and personal yet wearable and affordable for a friends’ gift exchange. You can tailor them with a particular friend in mind, choosing trinkets, zodiac signs, initials, and favorite symbols to make it a really sweet, thoughtful gift.”—Madison Rexroat, accessories editor

“My brother specifically asked me for a black beanie. This one from COS is less prone to pilling.”—Claire Stern Milch, digital director

“Keeping in my theme of gifting items for entertaining are these very personalized ice cube trays from Siligram. Super affordable with a luxury vibe.”—Alexis Wolfe, fashion & market accessories director

“I can’t stop my mom from watering my plants any time she visits, and given that she has thriving greenery throughout her own home, I’ve decided to get her a chic watering can to elevate these little moments for herself!”—Dale Arden Chong, senior fashion commerce editor

“There are few things more luxurious or timeless, in my opinion, than a wool-cashmere coat you’ll wear for seasons and seasons. After I was gifted this lightweight but luscious (and warm!) Rue Sophie coat (with a belted waist!) earlier this autumn, I’m keen to recommend it to anyone—and to gift it to a loved one as they brave a Midwest winter.”—LP

“I love the fireplace in my parent’s house, but my dad always dreads the chore of bringing in more wood. I’m hoping this stylish yet functional canvas carrier will make the job a little easier.”—MD

“My bestie is a total sneaker head. When I saw these, I instantly knew that they would make the perfect gift. She has a few Adidas sneakers already, but this pretty silver color is the perfect, fun addition to her collection.”—ABP

“The perfect chic white elephant gift under $50—guaranteed to be the stolen item of the night!”—LR

“When my dad confessed that he broke his Wayfarers it was a subtle hint that he wanted a new pair.”—CL

“With all these gifts for everyone else, why not treat myself too? My friends know me well—I love a good bag. Eckhaus Latta just launched their very first bag, and I’ve got my eye on the green one as a potential addition to my collection.”—LR

“My dad’s the biggest tech fanatic I know, and it only makes sense for him to want to upgrade to the latest iPhone. He’s been dropping hints about how he loves the Desert Titanium colorway, so that’ll be the one I’m getting him this year.”—DAC

“Hands down, this is my favorite scent for my boyfriend right now. A while back, I received the Courrèges 7 Vaporizers Set as a gift. While the fragrances are designed to be gender-neutral, I ended up giving my boyfriend a few of the travel-sized scents I thought would suit him best. I was spot on. Now that he’s down to the last drops, I need to do myself a favor and get him the full-sized version of the scent I love on him.”—LR
