Best Gifts for Moms
Whether her taste is sentimental or sensible, your mom (or mom-in-law) will appreciate these gifts. If she skews toward the former, a custom photo book (complete with her favorite pictures, of course) should do the trick. For the latter, a master class experience can awaken the lifelong learner in her. When in doubt, you can’t go wrong with elevated classics like a luxe sleep mask or bathrobe.

Best Gifts for Girlfriends and Wives
Take your pick from a silk pajama set, a travel-ready wine glass, a SELF Fave body pillow (that you don’t need to be pregnant to enjoy), and a gift box of botanical bath goodies. Any of these will make a wonderfully relaxing gift for your significant other.

Best Gifts for Sisters
Of course these gifts will make your sister happy, but more importantly, they’ll remind her that you’re the coolest sibling. Consider cute, unexpected knick-knacks like waterproof playing cards, a light-up cloud that tracks the weather, or stylish accessories like an outdoorsy belt bag and Y2K-esque Uggs. Otherwise, go for a pair of AirPods or a SELF Fave Kindle to ensure she has plenty of entertainment (when she isn’t hanging out with you, that is).

Best Fitness
They might have their workout routine down pat, but you can add some stylish flair with a SELF Activewear Award–winning exercise dress or pair of legging, cuter-than-necessary wrist weights, or Lululemon’s SELF Home Fitness Award–winning yoga mat (experts love it for both hot yoga and regular flows).

Best Outdoor Gifts
They’ll be a very happy camper when they unwrap these outdoorsy gifts. Both Barebones’s lantern and Stanley’s TikTok-approved water bottle won SELF Outdoor Awards this year for their balance of function and aesthetics. (Doesn’t the Beacon just have that classic campsite look?) Meanwhile, the SELF Fave Trekkie North Jogger from Athleta impressed one editor so much that she called them “a nearly perfect pair of bottoms” for leisurely days outside.

Best Sneaker Gifts
They’re probably well aware of Hoka’s major fan following at this point, but you can give your loved one a reason to board the bandwagon with the SELF Sneaker Award–winning Bondi 8 shoes, which earned the title of Best High-Cushion Walking Sneaker. Converse’s AS-1 Pro also brought home an award this year, and it’s a great pick for skaters and street style enthusiasts alike. If your favorite runner could use a cushy recovery shoe to slip on after racking up miles, the SELF Fave Kane Revive Shoe will help their feet recharge.
Best Cooking Gifts
They won’t just love using these gifts around the kitchen, they’ll also proudly display them on the countertop. Yield’s editor-recommended coffee maker, Our Place’s SELF Fave Mini Always Pan, and Made In’s sturdy Butcher Block are all top-notch pieces of cookware that just happen to look great too. And for the person who appreciates a fine olive oil, Graza’s buzzy Drizzle and Sizzle Set wowed SELF’s EVOO-loving food writer.

Best Tech Gifts
While Courant’s sleek charging tray and Lexon’s retro Bluetooth speaker will spare them from cord clutter, this Outdoor Award–winning power bank from BioLite will help them avoid a midday battery-drained phone. And if they’re ready for a major device upgrade, the Apple Watch Ultra is a SELF certified, splurge-worthy wearable for anyone who’s serious about their metrics.
Best Subscription Gifts
Maybe you’re shopping at the last minute, maybe you want your gift to (literally) keep on giving—either way, a subscription is a great way to go. For the coffee devotee, try the SELF Fave Atlas Coffee Club. For the yoga and Pilates lover, consider Alo Moves’s SELF Home Fitness Award–winning service, which offers more than 3,000 streaming classes. And for the person who loves a good bouquet (of any variety), sign them up for UrbanStems or Winc.
