Common questions
What are good Christmas gift ideas when you have no idea what to buy?
Buy a better version of something the person uses every day, such as a tumbler, slippers, earbuds, or a blanket. Everyday upgrades get used, and they work even when you do not know the person well. Our gift finder can narrow it down by age, interests, and budget.
How much should I spend on a Christmas gift?
A common range is $10 to $25 for coworkers and gift exchanges, $25 to $75 for friends and extended family, and more for a partner or parents. Set a total budget first, then divide it across your list.
What are good Christmas gifts under $25?
A name-brand insulated mug, merino socks, a card game, a lip mask, or a portable charger. See our full list of gifts under $25 for more.
When should I order Christmas gifts online?
Order as early as you can, and no later than mid-December for standard shipping. Always check the delivery date shown at checkout, and switch to digital gifts if the date is too close.
