15+ Holiday Gifts We're Shopping This Season
*Sponsored by Target
We live for that tiny thrill when you find something and think, “Oh yeah, they’re going to lose it over this.”
And if there’s one place that fuels that energy during the holidays, it’s Target. We dropped by their Wonder Drop event in NYC earlier this month, and it was… genuinely magical. The yeti, the gondola, the whole whimsical setup — you’ll find those same holiday moments in stores, too.
While we were there, we ran into a few creators we know and love, and have great taste without trying. So, naturally, we had to ask what’s in their Target carts this season.
And of course, we pulled together our own recs too, with the most random and niche picks for every type of friend. Happy gifting!
“Getting together with family and playing games is a holiday must for me! This one is sure to bring fun, laughter, and so many memories.”
“This scent is so heavenly for the winter time! I’ll be getting one of these for all my close friends.”
“I’ve been dancing to this soundtrack since it came out. Collecting vinyl is so fun, and I can think of at least five people in my life who would absolutely freak out getting this.”
“If they love building things and love music, this is basically the perfect crossover. My brother is Lego-obsessed and would absolutely lock in for hours with this.”
“This is for the people who have Wicked basically running their entire personality, which… respect. The pieces are comfy, cute, and exactly the kind of thing you can wear while dramatically singing “Defying Gravity”.
“I’m a practical-gift person, and this feels like something literally anyone would use. Plus it smells amazing.”
“Such a good pick for anyone who’s serious about their nightly skincare and loves a cute gift set. I like this one because it comes with everything you need for a full routine, and Bubble always does wonders for my skin.”
“Perfect for the person who keeps a body mist in their bag at all times. This scent is heavenly!”
“I listen to music 24/7, and the bedazzled design makes them feel like a fun accessory, not just headphones.”
