Holiday Gift Guides 2025



Consider your holiday list handled. Our five new gift guides are packed with joyful finds, only-here favorites, and clever picks for every type of giftee—from the host who has everything to the impossible-to-shop-for friend.

We asked some of the best cooks we know for their top ideas, and they delivered. From game-changing tools to thoughtful ingredients that make cooking more joyful, these are sure to win them over.

For the very best hosting gift ideas, we tapped some of the most talented hosts out there. Whether it’s a special vinegar, sardine-shaped soap, or a bright butter warmer, it’ll definitely beat a bottle of wine.

We went straight to the pros—the ones who always have flour on their sleeves—and asked what they’d give a fellow baker. Their answers? A mix of handy gadgets, beautiful pie dishes, and thoughtful treats anyone would be thrilled to unwrap.

For the cocktail lover who already has it all, we asked six mixologists what they’d want to receive. The result is a collection of glassware, bar tools, and expert-approved extras that make every drink—and every gathering—extra special.

We asked experts for their go-to gifts—ideas for anyone who loves to make their space feel extra special. Their picks include cozy blankets, chic serveware, and small finds that bring warmth and joy to any corner they meet.
