In the spirit of giving, The Hollywood Reporter is gifting you a one-stop shopping guide for everyone on your list. Whether your recipient has expensive taste, quirky taste or taste that changes with the times, they are sure to find both surprise and delight in one of these 29 handpicked favorites — a combination of the trendiest products of 2026 and our tried-and-true staples that hit year after year.

From limited-edition holiday scents to suitcases that stand the test of time, here are our surefire gifting picks for 2026.

Starting off strong with a total no-brainer. Year after year, these classic Tasman Slippers can’t seem to miss.

Keeping on the cozy theme, opt for the internet’s favorite faux fur blanket, which counts Selena Gomez, Simone Biles, Oprah Winfrey and Tate McRae as a few of its famous fans. And, honestly, it really is that good.

Elevated takes on everyday essentials are a foolproof recipe for first-rate gift giving.

Doubling down with cashmere socks, the ultimate upgraded daily staple.

Another cashmere moment. This one works as a scarf, wrap or shawl, and comes in 11 solids and plaids.

Gift three of Diptyque’s most-loved scents, bundled in festive packaging by artist Jean-Simon Roch.

And while we’re on the topic of Diptyque, snag this year’s limited-edition scented candle housed in a decorative vessel. The matching wooden lid is fitting given its notes of Siberian pine, balsam fir and cedar.

Shopping for your favorite jet-setter? For only $130, Quince’s roomy polycarbonate shell carry-on has 360-degree spinner wheels, a sturdy aluminum telescopic trolley handle with soft rubber for comfort, interior compression panels, TSA-approved locks and a removable laundry bag.

The capacity offers enough space for six to nine outfits, and there’s a 18-by-12.5-inch interior pocket for storage. Available in a range of colorways — both core and seasonal — Quince’s signature suitcase is also offered in a smaller carry-on size and multiple checked-in varieties.

A collector’s dream. Shop this year’s full Holiday Barbie Doll lineup here.

Cozy Earth is home to the best PJs in the game. But don’t take our word for it — The brand’s best-selling sets make Oprah Winfrey’s coveted gift guide year after year. This leopard print pair is one of our favorites from Cozy Earth’s limited-edition holiday drop.

Also part of Cozy Earth’s seasonal collection, this new colorway of the Cityscape Sweatpant perfectly pairs with the Espresso Cityscape Hoodie (also $128).

Check off almost anyone on your list with this year-round fuzzy throw at a can’t-beat price.

Gift them the viral sensation that is the Jellycat plushie.

On the subject of viral sensations, these two internet-famous labels recently unveiled the second iteration of their previously sold-out collab (and it’s already reapproaching out-of-stock status).

Conditioner alone isn’t the secret to silky hair. And neither is moisturizer for nourished skin.

Since most city water is treated with either chlorine or chloramine (which can leave skin and hair feeling dry), it’s important to go to the root, aka the showerhead, and Sans Filtered Showerhead reduces more than 99 percent of both.

La Mer’s premium skin-care duo doubles as a sweet Christmas ornament.

Swipe Chanel’s hydrating highlighting balm across your face, eyes and lips to deliver a subtle wash of color and fresh, dewy effect.

Founded by husband and wife duo, actor Alexander Ludwig and Lauren Ludwig, Their jewelry strikes the perfect balance between timeless classics and modern heirlooms.

The Claire is our new favorite, where created white sapphires meets 14K gold vermeil. And somehow, they’re even more striking in real life.

There’s no better companion for tired eyes than an insanely quenching mask, and 111Skin’s Celestial Black Diamond Eye Mask is just that. The cult-favorite skin product is a Hollywood magnet, with the brand’s famous fans including Anne Hathaway, Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Anniston and Bella Hadid.

For your favorite home chef, Heritage Steel’s eight-piece set is the pinnacle of versatile cookware. It’s oven and broiler safe up to 800 degrees and designed for use on all types of stovetops, including induction. The Core Set includes a 10.5-inch and 12-inch fry pan, a three quart saucepan with lid, a four quart sauté pan with lid and an eight quart stock pot with lid.

First and foremost, metallic silver is a neutral, which means these Nikes have all the benefits of a classic white sneaker without the monotony (and that’s coming from a white sneaker loyalist). They’re also the quintessential “dad” sneaker without being too “dad.”

While technically a running shoe, these have maintained their position as a celebrity street style staple thanks to their Y2K aesthetic and effortless “cool” factor. From the gym to the airplane to the vineyard (paired with a midi skirt, perhaps), these sneakers have versatility at their core.

Hoka’s Clifton 11 is the latest iteration of the brand’s versatile Clifton line. These everyday sneakers are another one of our favorite shoes for travel, thanks to the heel tab that makes pulling them on a breeze after TSA checks. The sturdy silhouette also makes it easy to run through airports and cities alike.

Speaking of travel, Coach’s Empire Carryall Bag 48 is genuinely our dream weekender, especially in the newer Loved Leather finish which only gets better with age. Bonus: Its intentional lived-in look means you don’t have to be too precious with it.

Fans of Finding Your Roots have watched stars like Viola Davis and Kerry Washington uncover remarkable stories from their past. With AncestryDNA Kits, recipients can similarly learn about their family origins and unique DNA story. And throuugh Nov. 19, take 65 percent off.

While best known for her intricate lockets, Monica Rich Kosann makes a variety of covetable pieces that double as conversation starters. This one’s been at the top of our wishlist since its release back in 2024.

One more favorite for the fine jewelry fans. This creation by Kinn is sophisticated and satisfyingly chunky.
