This week's edit

Trending Christmas Gifts

This season's most-wanted Christmas gifts, updated weekly through December.

Updated 1 October 2026 15 picks United States switch to United Kingdom

Christmas gifts are leaning practical, playful and a bit comforting this week. There are little things for daily use, like the Apple AirTag Leather Key Ring and Touchland Power Mist Aloe You Hydrating Hand Sanitizer, alongside more leisurely picks such as the New York Times Crossword Page-A-Day Calendar and the ThinkFun Escape Room Mystery At The Stargazer's Manor. The LEGO Botanicals sets and the Barefoot Dreams robe bring a softer, seasonal feel too, which fits the moment well.

This edit suits anyone trying to find a present that feels considered without being fussy. It includes small treats, desk-friendly bits, and a few nostalgic names that still have plenty of charm, from Tamagotchi Uni to Squishmallows and Stitch. These are the kinds of gifts that sit well under the tree and still feel useful after the wrapping paper is gone.
