The 10 Best Online Holiday Gift Shops
Remember the days when you had to circle a crowded parking lot in search of a spot, wait in line to get into a crowded store, brawl with other shoppers to snag the hottest gifts of the season, and then stand in long lines to buy them, just so you could get the perfect presents for your loved ones? Me neither, but my mom loves to regale me with stories of the dark ages of consumerism.
Today, we simply let our fingers do the walking with easy online shopping from home. Of course, with access to literally all the e-commerce the worldwide web has to offer, the conundrum becomes finding the best places to cyber shop. If you’re looking for spots that have incredible options for everyone on your list, here are a few of the best holiday gift shops to help you get your holiday shopping underway.
Huckberry
If you want to “discover and shop the world’s coolest gear”, you’ve come to the right place. Huckberry has clothing and footwear, home goods, EDC products, and more. To make it even easier, you can shop gear by activity (camping, cooking, DIY, etc.) or simply check out their handy holiday gift guide.
ReserveBar
You’ll find everything you need to make the season sousy with this website dedicated to upholding the motto “Good spirits. Delivered.” Send your loved ones all the bourbon, mezcal, moonshine, and champs needed to keep the holidays merry and bright, and don’t forget a few faves for your own wet bar. Looking for something extra special? Consider custom engraving.
Amazon
There’s no denying the appeal of Amazon, which offers a virtual smorgasbord of merch, from electronics and media, to clothing and toys, to home goods, handmade, and health care products. Don’t know where to start? Their gift guides can help you shop by produce category, price point, or gift recipient (men, women, and children by age group).
Bespoke Post
If you know what you want, shop individual items like apparel, home goods, and upscale EDC. Or, opt for monthly subscription boxes that show the loved ones in your life you pay attention to what they like (without actually having to remember that one thing they liked that one time).
REI
Can’t remember if your family and friends prefer Columbia or Patagonia? No problem. Ride the virtual railway to your nearest online REI to shop high-end, outdoorsy apparel and goods to your heart’s content, or simply get a gift card for the runners, cyclists, campers, and winter sports aficionados in your life.
Nordstrom
You might be surprised to discover more than apparel and shoes when you shop Nordstrom, which features a wide range of gifts for men, women, teens, and kids. With options for clothing, shoes, toys, jewelry, beauty items, housewares, and tech gifts, you really can get outstanding gifts and stocking stuffers for every family member, friend, and coworker.
Uncommon Goods
Take heed of their slogan – We’re all out of the ordinary – if you’re seeking truly surprising, one-of-a-kind gifts and personalization options for loved ones that have it all. You’ll find monogrammed cheese boards, whiskey and wine glasses featuring historical quotes, beer brewing kits, tablecloths kids can color, candles purported to protect against the ill effects of mercury retrograde, and so much more.
Barebones
Barebones is a company looking to elevate your outdoor life (and elevate the lives of underprivileged people across the globe through their humanitarian efforts.) Like most things Barebones makes, every item you’ll find in their holiday gift roundup looks and feels like something passed down from a generation or two before, but carries the materials and marks of a modern made product.
Man Crates
Finding gifts for guys can be tough, but it’s the specialty of the pros at Man Crates, who believe every gift should be unforgettable. Crates featuring jerky advent calendars, cocktail necessities, Slumberjack jammies, and even personalized portable puck shot games are a sure way to deliver the wow factor this holiday season for guys that aren’t easy to impress.
Neiman Marcus
Style, tech, gadgets, watches, stocking stuffers, etc. Whether it’s an inexpensive gift for a coworker or something a bit nicer for your significant other, if you can’t find it at Neiman Marcus’s online gift shop then you won’t find it anywhere.
