Not only do we have the ultimate wishlist prepared for you, but we even managed to secure exclusive savings on some of our favorite picks, too.

Whether they’re looking to go paperless for the first time or are due for an upgrade on their e-reader, our editors say this is the gift to get the bookworm in your life. Not only is this the fastest Kindle ever, according to the brand, but it’s the first color version. So, you can now browse a library of vibrant covers in high-contrast, easy-on-the-eyes color.
We all have that box of old home movies, tapes and film photos lying around a house or storage unit somewhere. Rather than let it collect dust, why not clear out the clutter and preserve those memories? Legacybox takes all of these archives and digitizes them so you can share with friends and family.
“It’s so easy — you just fill the box with your old mementos and mail it to Legacybox with the pre-paid shipping label,” Brach explains. “Then, they take that analog media and digitize it carefully by hand. You get back not only your box and all of your stuff, but also a digital archive to instantly stream, play and share the memories!”

This knit hat for men and women is the ultimate practical gift. The classic ribbed knit design is made to trap warmth and keep you cozy. At under $15, it comes in a bunch of cute colors. We also think it makes a fool-proof gift to bring to a white elephant exchange.
Adding a new photo ornament to the tree each year is such a sweet tradition, and Artifact Uprising has just the thing. Choose between a circle or oval brass frame with tempered glass that displays a photo on both sides, so your precious memory is visible from just about any angle. It’s tied off with a gorgeous grosgrain ribbon that won’t poke at any fingers and looks festive.

For any kids or music lovers in your life, there’s no better gift than a karaoke machine. This one has two microphones that work wirelessly with Bluetooth to connect to the speaker. According to the brand, this set does it all: it’s a speaker, microphone, radio, media player and even a guitar amplifier in one. Weighing in at under five pounds with a handle and removable shoulder strap, it’s portable enough to bring the party anywhere.
Brach’s pro tip? Just keep the microphone pointed away from the speaker to avoid any feedback.
Brach says a cashmere sweater is the ultimate winter luxury, and we found options for men and women that won’t break the bank. One of our editors says this is her go-to gift, since it’s under $60. It’s got a classic shape with ribbed cuffs, hem and collar and comes in a ton of colors.
Sometimes, a festive pair of pajamas is all you need to get in the holiday spirit. This pair from Tommy John is so soft, some reviewers say that they hardly feel like wearing anything at all — hence the name second skin! Plus, they’ve got pockets, come in twelve colors and are available in three inseam lengths.

While this is obviously a perfect stocking stuffer for the handyman of the house, Brach thinks everyone should have one of these. The super bright LED flashlight has a bendy neck, so you can point it almost 360 degrees and shed light wherever it’s needed. Plus, the base and end are magnetic, so you can pick up pins, washers, screws, bolts and more whenever you could use a third hand. Plus, batteries are included.
This Swedish candy completely took over social media in 2024 — and now you can get the buzziest candy of the year delivered straight to your door for the foodie in your life, no passport required. Fans are obsessed with the sour, chewy candies, but there are sweet mixes, licorice, gluten-free options and more to satisfy any sweet tooth. They also have a wide variety of vegan and gluten-free treats,
Speaking of internet-viral… Jellycat is the “it” plush to have this year. The British toy brand has been making waves on social media for its line of stuffed toys modeled after inanimate objects. Brach’s pick? This adorable smiling croissant. J’adore!
This winner comes straight from Brach’s 3-year-old daughter’s favorite toys list. It’s a kid-friendly digital camera designed for ages 3-8 and it comes with an SD card and card reader so you can download the photos and share with grandparents, friends and more. Don’t be fooled by the compact size — the brand says it can zoom up to 8x and can film 1080p video, making it a surprisingly advanced little gadget.
Another Brach-approved winner is the this hot toy that brings storytime to life. It comes with three stories that little ones can watch, listen and read along with, thanks to a projector, colorful lights and sound effects. When story time is over, it doubles as a white noise machine and nightlight to help kids fall fast asleep.
This layer is a no-brainer gift for the person who’s always cold. It’s basically part shawl, part wrap — the perfect hybrid piece to drape around your shoulders and cozy up in — and one-size fits all, so a great gift for all. We like that it’s anti-static, comes in six colors and personalizable with a monogram or embroidery on the brand’s site.
Friendship bracelets have come back in a big way this year, but these days, they don’t have to look like the kind you wore back in middle school. Brach loves this elevated take on the trend that you can personalize to say whatever you’d like (up to 10 characters). The porcelain floral beads feature an elegant chinoiserie pattern and you can opt for your choice of 14K gold filled or sterling silver end beads.

This holiday season, don’t forget about the pets — they deserve a little something too! This personalized pet pillow ensures the furry family member is on display on your couch or armchair. How it works, Brach explains, is you send in a picture of your pet that gets hand-illustrated by a digital designer, so you get a totally custom design, then you choose your pillow size and whether you’d like your pet’s name included.
“I have a portrait from this brand of my little guy Rocco,” gushes Brach. “My daughter loved it so much we put it in her room!”
