TikTok is a great place for finding products you didn’t know you needed and clothes that quickly become your new favorite go-tos. Now that the holidays are basically here (eek!), there’s a good chance that your FYP is being flooded with gift guides. And honestly, a lot of them are really, really good.
As literally everyone with the app knows, TikTok can be a black hole, sucking up all your time before you’ve even realized it. Since time is of the essence when it comes to holiday shopping, we watched endless hours of gift guides and rounded up the very best gifts that have come across our feeds. (Tough job, but someone had to do it.)
Rounded up here are gifts for everyone on your holiday shopping list that are thoughtful and completely unexpected.
A custom wall hanging
A lot of people don’t spend the time to hang anything on their walls. That’s where these custom wall hanging canvas flags come in. As highlighted in this TikTok video, you can customize it with someone’s hometown or (if it’s your S.O.) the city where you met.
A luxe wine bottle coaster
As highlighted in this gift guide for moms and mother-in-laws, a wine bottle coaster is perfect for anyone on your list who loves their wine. This gilded stainless steel wine bottle coaster from Pottery Barn is similar to the one featured in the video, which is a gorgeous (but much spendier) piece from jewelry brand Foundrae. Pair it with a bottle of wine for extra brownie points.
A charm necklace
As shown in this TikTok gift guide inspired by “Eloise,” a charm necklace feels both super personal and stylish. Anthropologie has a bunch at several price points, including this gold-tone dessert- and treat-themed option.
A book stack ornament
Instead of giving the book lover on your holiday shopping list a book, a glass-blown ornament highlighting their interest is an even better idea, as shown in this gift guide for book lovers.
A mini ace keychain
This mini playing catd keychain is the perfect affordable gift for a friend, sister, or niece. It’s more original and unexpected than a Labubu. Cool girl chicness is always in the details. This one, from Amazon, is similar to the one highlighted in this gift guide, but has a little more detail to it.
These shower steamers
Featured in this stocking stuffer gift guide, shower steamers are perfect for someone who could benefit from a relaxing steam but doesn’t have time for a full-on bath or lives in an apartment that only has a shower. How dreamy does this coconut milk and fig flavor sound?
This Kate Spade AirPods case
Having a designer AirPods case is next-level chicness. This gift idea comes from a gift guide for the sister who’s always on the go, but also works for a teen or college student on your holiday list.
This beautifully packaged incense
What do you give the cool person who has everything? As suggested in this TikTok with niche gift ideas, you can’t go wrong with beautifully packaged incense. It’s more original than giving a candle and just as appreciated. This set comes with a box of lemongrass and verbena incense and a box of palo santo and sandalwood incense.
These tortoiseshell blue light glasses
The perfect gift for a coworker or literally anyone you know who spends hours in front of the computer, a stylish pair of blue light glasses is one gift that will actually get used. While this gift guide highlights several styles, one timeless pair that flatters virtually everyone is this throwback square frame that's available in tons of colors and patterns.
This farmers’ market bag
The wellness lover or foodie in your life will appreciate this farmers’ market tote with plenty of room for wine, produce and flowers. It’s a great find, highlighted in this TikTok video featuring unique gifts.
This heart locket
A heart locket is a timeless gift that’s sure to be treasured. It’s featured in this gift guide for moms, but works well for a sister or friend too. This one, from Amazon, can be personalized with any letter.
This non-alcoholic aperitif
Featured in this gift guide of elevated everyday items, this Ghia aperitif looks chic on a bar cart. Made with rosemary and bitters, it’s alcohol- and caffeine-free. It’s a great gift for that friend you have who’s always hosting parties or is super into wellness.
This portable entertainment center
Guys are notoriously hard to buy for, but this gift guide for the guy who has everything has some genius ideas. The best one is this portable entertainment center, which the creator says she’s gotten for both her brother and husband. It can be used to watch sports games, shows or to play video games.
This Whoop fitness tracker
This gift idea comes straight from a man himself, recommending what other guys will love being given. If the dude on your holiday shopping list is into fitness or wellness, a Whoop fitness tracker is a great present. It measures V02max, tracks sleep, monitors blood pressure and more.
This ceramic diffuser
Take it from the TikTok creator for this ultimate men’s gift guide, a diffuser is something guys will love, but don’t know to ask for. It instantly helps create a calming space and elevates the room. This ceramic one on Amazon is similar to the one highlighted in the gift guide, but less expensive.
