In case you haven't realized, gifting season is right around the corner. Finding something that feels unique and right for your recipient, say your slightly moody teenage girl, can be pretty tricky. Want to go beyond a gift card but feel a little stumped on what the cool gifts are to buy this year? Good news: Google just dropped its list of the trendiest gifts to give, and any of them will bring smiles on Christmas morning.
The Holiday 100 lists 100 of the most searched-for gifts and products from the year. It covers everything from trendy clothes and accessories to viral skincare, so it's a great place to start shopping. Even items tapping into the 2024 micro-trends, from laidback luxury to retro decor, are spotlighted on the list.
Of course, as shopping-obsessed design editors, we immediately gravitated toward the home section of Google's list. Several of Google's top picks are even House Beautiful-tested and approved! A few highlights include the alarm clock sound machine one of our associate editors can't sleep without and a washable rug that totally elevated another editor's home. We rounded up our favorite home picks from the Holiday 100 list below, so whether you're looking to surprise a loved one or treat yourself, you'll indeed find something you love.
Best Deal
This sleep gadget does double duty as an alarm clock and sound machine. Associate Shopping Editor Jessica Cherner swears it turned her into a morning person with its gentle light and sound cues. It's super customizable, so you can adjust it to closely suit your sleep habits.
Retro touches like this wavy block towel set from West Elm were constant on our feeds this year, likely courtesy of Gen Z's obsession with the squiggle pattern. We can't deny how fun the pattern is, and the plush heavyweight cotton doesn't hurt either.
Space-saving furniture will never go out of style, so these stacking chairs from Joss & Main making the cut totally tracks. They're designed for outdoor entertaining and al fresco dining, but you can absolutely pull them out for extra seating in a pinch.
We're pretty picky about our bedding at HB, but Egyptian cotton sheets like this long-staple sateen set from Parachute totally have a place in our bedrooms. Cherner named the set among the most luxurious she'd slept on, likening them to hotel sheets with a thick, silky weave.
As the weather gets cooler, don't sacrifice using your favorite fresh veggies and herbs from the garden. Popular kits like this one bring all the joy of gardening indoors, and take out the guesswork. It waters itself from an included reservoir according to a pre-set schedule.
Senior Features Editor Elyse Moody put two viral washable rug brands to the test, and she loved Ruggable's diverse, colorways and large size range. Their tufted rugs are soft underfoot and still easy to wash, so you get the best of both worlds. Associate Shopping Editor Janae McKenzie even got a washable doormat from the brand to avoid grime collecting at her door.
Senior Commerce Editor Marina Liao loves to use Diptyque candle to freshen up her home for guests. Whether you decide to go with the classic fig tree scent or something more seasonal, it's a quick way to make any room smell like a five-star hotel.
This gift might be a little harder to wrap, but if you want to help someone sleep easier every night, a great mattress topper is key. It's no wonder we gave this Zinus one a Sleep Award—it's affordable and infused with cooling gel, which is perfect for hot sleepers.
How cute is this flower-shaped lamp? Cute lamps and lighting for kids' rooms were high on the trends list this year. Everything from adorable animal-shaped ones to neon ones that spell their name will make them feel more at home.
A towel warmer is an easy way to make your bathroom feel more spa-like, but take it a step further with a wall-mounted rack that blends into your bathroom. Keep your towel in easy reach, but still wrap yourself up in a fresh, toasty towel right out of the shower.
A well placed ceramic vase is an affordable way to make any console or side table look more elegant. This particular vase won the internet over, likely for its versatile shape and color. You can even switch out the stems with the seasons, from faux flowers in the spring to pampas grass in the fall and holly leaves in December.
