A custom phone case we’ve been using for years…
Even if they didn’t get a new phone, snapping on a fresh phone case will give them that new-phone feeling. This is the one we always go back to, since it’s protective and comes in fun colors. Plus, a custom gift always shows you put in the effort.
A mini heart case we’ve gifted before…
Every time we give this adorable heart case as a gift, it’s a huge hit. It’s made of pebbled leather, comes in bright colors, and is a great place to stash skincare or chargers in their carry-on bag.

The J.Crew Rollneck™ Sweater…
This throwback sweater that J.Crew brought back last year has been taking the fashion world by storm, so it’s perfect for the most stylish person you know. One editor owns a striped version and can confirm it’s cozy and just the right amount of slouchy.
An easy way to keep their meds organized…
This seven-slot organizer will help them keep track of their daily supplements. It comes in solid and marble variations, and it has a magnetic closure, so even if they’re throwing it in their suitcase, it’ll stay securely shut.
Our favorite Salomons for walking…
One editor swears by these Salomon sneakers for her daily walks. She’s also biked, hiked, and shopped in them, and they’re always supportive and comfy. The dark brown color goes with everything.
A pack of refreshing eye masks…
We love these Jet Lag Eye Patches from Summer Fridays because they aren’t overly coated in serum (which means they won’t slip and slide around). They’re naturally cooling, hydrating, and depuffing, and they can keep them in the fridge for stronger effects.
A striped tee you’ll want for yourself…
Everyone loves a striped top. This one is oversized with a cropped fit that hits right at the waistline. The striped colorways are all so good that you’ll have trouble picking just one. (So grab one for yourself, too.)
The Pilates socks we gave an award…
Not only are these the cutest Pilates socks but they’re also the grippiest we’ve ever used. We love that they don’t scrunch or roll, which is why we gave them a Good for You Award. If they’re really into Pilates, grab the tote to stash them in.
A ribbed cashmere wrap to replace a bulky cardigan…
This Mongolian wrap can be worn anytime, anywhere. It’s made of a soft ribbed cashmere and delivers warmth without the bulk. Not to mention, it’s easy to pack.
A pair of rain boots for splashing around…
We’re calling it now: Hunter boots are about to be back in a big way. These short wellies are more wearable than the taller version that was popular years ago, but they’re no less splash-proof. Your jeans will tuck easily into them, and you’ll never get tired of the black ones.
A cream blush that actually lasts…
We’re big Rhode fans, especially this cream blush. It’s so easy to apply, so whether they’re a makeup novice or pro, they’ll love it. It’ll give them perfectly flushed cheeks without any shimmer.
A claw clip that’s worth the splurge…
This may seem a bit pricey for a hair clip, but it’s the only one that holds even the thickest hair in place and doesn’t break within a few months.
Another great striped top…
Can you tell how much we’re loving stripes? This sweater is made with wool, so it’ll keep them warm in the depths of winter. It has a nice slightly shrunken fit, and they’ll never get tired of this color combo.
A lip balm that’s not like other girls…
Eadem cracked the code on lip balms. It makes your lips feel so soft and cloud-like. The applicator has a metal tip that has a cooling effect on the lips, and the finish is gorgeous. It’ll be their new lip-combo mainstay.
