5 Thoughtful Holiday Gifts They’ll Actually Use

Think about what they do on an ordinary Saturday. Do they make coffee before anyone else is up? Head out with the smallest bag they own? Keep a weekend bag half-packed? Those little habits make holiday shopping easier. Here are five gifts we’d pick with those people in mind.

1. For the friend who’s always offering you coffee

Give them a candle that makes the kitchen smell like their favorite café. The Coffee Shoppe Soy Candle from Jack Be Nimble is an easy host gift, especially with a bag of beans from a local roaster and a note thanking them for always making room at the table.

2. For the person who carries just the essentials

Tin Marin’s Georgie Leather Card Case has six card slots and a zip pocket for loose change. Pick tan for someone who wears warm neutrals, or hot pink for the friend who loves a bright accessory. Slip a gift card to their favorite lunch spot inside for a little surprise.

3. For the weekend traveler

Bag-all’s three-piece packing cube set is for the person who’s always heading out on Friday. The different sizes make it easy to keep tops, socks, and smaller essentials together in a carry-on. If you’re planning a trip together, tuck a note about the first stop into one of the cubes.

4. For the person whose wallet has seen better days

Ecotorie’s black Denton Mini Wallet is a simple choice for someone who likes to keep their pockets light. Add a favorite photo or a handwritten note inside. It’s also a good pick if you’re shopping for someone whose clothing size or style you’re unsure about.

5. For the person who takes the same tote everywhere

Jelavu’s Aspenn Chocolate Tote is the gift we’d choose for someone who goes from weekday meetings to Saturday errands with the same bag. Chocolate brown pairs easily with navy, cream, and denim. If those are already their go-to colors, you’ve got a good clue.
