Succulent
A long-lasting alternative to flowers, succulent plants ($20 for five) add a welcome splash of green in the middle of winter. The low-maintenance plants are ideal even for those without a green thumb. Here are more succulents that we’d love to gift.
Homemade Cookies
Whether it’s an assortment of holiday cookies or a batch of your famous chocolate chippers, homemade cookies are a thoughtful and delicious gift. To make it extra special, use one of our clever cooking packaging ideas.
Homemade Treats
While Christmas cookies are a classic choice, our most popular homemade food gifts range from preserves and pecans to dips to candy.
Pet Treats
Do you say hello when they’re out walking their dog, or spot a cat snoozing in the window? A box of pet treats is a sweet and affordable gift; look for grain-free dog treats ($14) and soft, chewy cat treats ($8).
Jigsaw Puzzle
Puzzling is the perfect activity for long winter afternoons, making it a great Christmas gift option. We like this 1,000-piece puzzle ($18) printed with vintage bestseller book covers.
Cheese Board
If your neighbors enjoy hosting dinners or cocktail parties, a cheese board and tools ($21)Â will make a great gift. Setting out a cheese board makes snacking on cheese feel fancy.
Also check out these gifts for cheese lovers that are sure to please.
Candles
Scented candles are a go-to stocking stuffer, but the fragrance can be too powerful for some. These beeswax candles ($19 for a 3-pack) throw a cozy glow without the aroma.
Cookie Sheet
Give the gift of baking cookies! Taste of Home’s Test Kitchen-approved sheet ($27) is embossed, which increases air circulation around cookies. Find more gift ideas for bakers.
