Stila is beloved for its high-quality cosmetics, from sparkly eye shadow palettes and bronzers to silky-smooth lip glosses and more. Makeup and skincare are the ideal gifts for beauty junkies, and letting them pick their own is even better.

Baublebar is a mecca for jewelry of all styles, from dainty stackable rings to statement-making hoop earrings. The site includes a range of price points too. They have fine jewelry for fans of solid gold or gold vermeil, but they also carry lower-end fashion jewelry for folks who like to switch it up on a whim. Baublebar also makes custom items. In addition to buying printed or digital gift cards, you can design your own physical gift card!

A top player in the luxury bedding industry, Brooklinen has a strong following. Everyone’s gaga over the brand’s luxe sheet, duvets and cozy loungewear. As the company has grown, it has introduced affordable modern furniture and wall art too. Plenty to choose from at whatever amount you want to give.

In the world of beauty, it’s hard to find a brand more esteemed than Ulta, and for good reason.

A great gift for the glam girl.

You can keep it in your wallet or load it onto your app, but a Starbucks gift card will satisfy your caffeine craving no matter where you are. Fancy coffee can feel like an indulgence, but a sweet gift like this will make a venti soy latte with an espresso shot feel like a guilt-free treat any day of the week. Of course, you can pick up a scone or a cake pop while you’re at it too.

Ordering takeout is way too easy these days. Make it even easier for someone you love with a Grubhub gift card.

Whatever you crave, you can find it on Grubhub.

The resource for sustainable, well-made, sophisticated basics, Everlane makes it easy to love shopping with them. Not only are their items effortlessly chic — we’re talking sweaters, denim, dresses, bags and more that will make you feel high-end overnight — but the brand makes environmentalism a real priority.

This activewear brand is all about outfitting people to move freely and comfortably so they can keep their endorphins pumping.

There’s no end to the quirkiness you’ll discover at Uncommon Goods — after all, it’s right there in the name. A gift certificate (of course, they don’t even call it a card) can score you things as mildly whimsical as wall-mounted chess boards and beer-chilling coasters to items that are totally out there in the best possible ways — things like velociraptor garden sculptures and smartphone-controlled paper airplanes. Let your freak flag fly!

Love comfy, walkable shoes? Honestly, who doesn’t? Allbirds has mastered the art of producing stylish, supportive footwear, and it has the fan base to prove it.

This one-stop shop for luxury bedding and bath products — think buttery-soft sheets, pillows, duvets, towels and more — recently decided to get in on the bed-in-a-box mattress game too. In 2019, Parachute launched a 100-percent organic cotton coil mattress. The brand also sells chic home accessories like candles and dinnerware. 

The name Sorel is synonymous with rugged winter footwear that’s also high on style. The brand’s snow and rain boots have tough, weatherproof outers and chunky, treaded, all-terrain soles—and they all bear the signature polar bear logo. Your recipient can also shop warm and fuzzy slippers, sneakers and — looking forward to summer — even sandals.

The activewear giant carries everything needed for outdoor adventure — or simply to brave the cold: fleeces, down jackets, beanies, joggers, hiking boots and more. They even carry cute, outdoorsy accessories, like an insulated wine tumbler, camping cookware and all kinds of bags and backpacks. Great for outdoorsy folks.

This household name is appealing to anyone who loves cozy clothing, rustic home decor, outdoor adventure gear or an iconic nautical tote bag. Shoes? Slippers? L.L. Bean has those too — and there’s nothing quite like an authentic fleece from this beloved brand. The great outdoors is even greater with an L.L. Bean gift card.

If you want to support independent artists in your gifting, a Red Bubble gift card is the way to go. The site sells all kinds of quirky stuff emblazoned with the designs of creative individuals. Think wall art, smartphone cases, aprons, throw pillows and even fun socks. The options are effortlessly unique and unbelievably affordable. If you prefer, you can pick a design first then see which products are available in that print.

When in doubt, Amazon (if that’s not an actual saying, it needs to become one, stat!). The internet’s biggest and most exhaustive megastore sells gift cards too, and it can be used to redeem anything from clothing and housewares to electronics and e-books. And because Amazon is known for its industry-best prices and quick, convenient delivery, there’s nothing not to love.
