In our experience, people fall into one of two categories when it comes to holiday gift shopping: They’re either constantly keeping an eye out for good presents, amassing them throughout the year, or they wait until close — maybe too close — to the holidays themselves. No judgement if you’re in the latter camp (many of us are, too), but it can be stressful searching for gifts at this point. Christmas is three (3!) weeks away.
We hope this quiz makes your shopping easier. Answer a few quick questions, and we’ll lead you to exactly what to buy for each person on your list. We’ve covered every age (infant to grandparent), interest (gamer to sports fans), and price point (affordable to aspirational). Then our gifting experts curated these presents guaranteed to surprise and delight, whether you’re scrambling to fill stockings or looking for that last item to finish your months-long prep.
