11 Holiday Gifts Your Significant Other Will Actually Like

Because sometimes the person you know the best is also the hardest to shop for.

It’s the holiday season, and if you don’t have your shopping list all checked off already (honestly, who does?), you might be stressing out about getting gifts for all your loved ones. While you may have already found some thoughtful gifts for your family members and your best friends, finding a great gift for your significant other can be a whole other thing. Whether you’ve been spending every waking minute with your partner or have been in a long-distance relationship, figuring out the best way to show how much you care with a present can feel like a daunting task—especially if gift giving isn’t your love language.

But don’t overthink it! A good holiday gift doesn’t always have to be the one true token of your love. Sometimes, the best way to show your partner that you care is to just get them something that will make their days a little happier, simpler, or (especially important these days) cozier. So, we’ve rounded up 11 products we’re sure your partner will love, from AirPods and comfy slippers to CBD balms and touchscreen gloves—happy shopping!

Look, we know that a lamp may not exactly be your idea of a *great* gift, but hear us out. Seasonal depression affects an estimated 10 million Americans each year, and it’s believed that it has to do with the lack of sunlight. This lamp mimics natural sunlight and has three different brightness levels (40%, 60%, and 100%) to switch between depending on the mood and time of day. Hey, it may make your partner feel happier—and if happiness isn’t the best gift of all, we don’t know what is.

Does your partner love to cook? First off, congratulations. Secondly, this cult-favorite pan might just be the best gift you ever get them.
