Now that we're officially settled into November, people who don't procrastinate (I'm jealous of you) and want to avoid the mild panic that comes with last-minute holiday shopping (a feeling I know too well) are probably already starting to cross names off of their gift list.

If you're one of these proactive holiday shoppers and have begun the gift hunt—or keep telling yourself this is the year you'll finally become one—you're in luck. Shopping for family members can feel daunting, especially if you're someone with a large family. So to help, we've rounded up 42 gifts that are bound to be a fit for at least a few of the family members on your list.

9 Travel-Friendly Gifts for Your Friend Who’s Always on the Go

As the holiday shopping season quickly approaches, we’re putting together gift guides to help you shop for the friends, coworkers, and family members in your life. We’ve covered the friend who’s an aspiring sommelier, the neighbor who loves to garden, and your coworker who’s always down for an old fashioned. Now, it’s time to shop for the person you know who’s always on the go.

Whether they’re always mid-flight, constantly planning road trips, or their packed schedule has them running in circles, here are nine items we think they’d love.

15 Gifts for the Wine Lover on Your List

We all have that friend who serves as the unofficial sommelier of the group. You know, they can talk for hours about different grape varietals and their favorite bottles, they never show up to a function empty-handed, and they do the simple swirl of the glass before taking the first sip. They're the friend who's appointed to taste the bottle you just ordered at the restaurant and they're the one with the glassware collection you might want to raid.

When it comes to shopping for someone with a specific interest—whether it be wine, bourbon, or gardening—you'd think finding the perfect gift would be easy. After all, if you're able to focus on a specific sector of gifts, it should be simple, right? Not so much. Nothing can turn stressful faster than shopping for someone who knows a lot about something you know only the basics of. So, we're here to help.

11 Gifts for the Bourbon Lover in Your Life

We’re not exactly sure how the year has flown by this quickly, but the holiday shopping season is here. The summer-to-fall transition has begun, the autumn holidays are approaching, and before we know it, dining tables across the country will be set fo…

You probably know someone who is always happy to enjoy a cocktail with you, but do you have any friends or family who specifically love bourbon? Most likely yes. For anyone who isn’t a seasoned whiskey drinker, you might be confused about the differences between whiskey, bourbon, and Scotch. You might also be a little unsure of which at-home bar gifts your bourbon-loving friend would adore. Well, we’re here to help.

Everything Amanda Hesser Is Gifting This Year

I wish I could say I’m a daring and eccentric gift giver, who bestows friends with the work of up-and-coming artists or rare vintage ceramics. But I lean practical, and like to give great, peripheral accessories and introduce friends to high-quality basics. I gravitate toward things that people either don’t purchase for themselves (pitchers, linen napkins) or that they buy of lesser quality (cake pans, baking sheets, pantry ingredients). Here are some new Shop products that make the cut.

1. Modern Classic Ceramic Cake Stand

Every kitchen looks more inviting with a cake stand on the counter! The dome is a much-needed accessory that people rarely spring for. Your giftee will be grateful you did.

24 Must-Have Gifts for Every Baker in Your Life

You know they love to bake in their spare time—but maybe you’re not exactly sure how to turn that fact into a perfect present this holiday season. Never fear: We’ve got you covered. Our Shop is filled with gift-ready baking essentials for any skill level and budget. To get you started, we’ve gathered 24 of our favorite options (grouped into five categories) for versatile, guaranteed-to-please baking gifts.

Baking Tools

For someone who’s really into baking, you can’t go wrong with giving them the tools they need to upgrade their cakes, pies, and cookies. A marble rolling pin—which helps buttery pastry dough stay cool—is a great option, and you can’t go wrong with staples like measuring cups and a digital scale.

30 Coffee Gifts That Baristas Actually Like

Us coffee drinkers are an opinionated bunch. We all agree that we like coffee (or espresso), but as for how it should be made (pour-over vs. drip vs. French press vs. cold brew), well, that’s another story. While we love these passionate preferences, they can make coffee gift-giving quite the high wire act. In hopes of reducing this risk, we spoke to the most opinionated coffee lovers of all—baristas—to identify the best gifts for all types of coffee lovers.
