We may still be putting the finishing touches on our Halloween costumes, but it's *never* too early to start putting holiday plans and gifting ideas together. Pinterest recently announced their annual holiday gifting trends based on searches and saved ideas, and it looks like we can all expect some *big* treats this year. Click through the slideshow to see what's trending in holiday gifting, and get started on your shopping list ASAP.
Jewelry for the Whole Gang: Jewelry is always a solid gift choice, but customizable pieces have a little more personality. These Roxanne Assoulin Just Say It Custom Bracelets ($150/each) make us nostalgic for our old-school friendship bracelets but are elevated enough to work into the current accessory rotation. And for our minimalist gal pals that prefer a daintier piece, Catbird's Mother of Pearl Love Token ($44) can be layered with just about anything, and the Free People Teeny Tiny Mega Stud Earring Set ($20) encourages sharing.
Colorful Home Decor: Bring some hygge gifting vibes to the holiday party with a warm-toned Lulu & Georgia Kaysa Throw ($119) for bundling up. If your pals already have a strong blanket game, Leif Shop Terrazzo Chip Jars ($68/each) will help keep those organizational New Year's resolutions in check. And while the standard holiday candles are always welcome, Individual Medley Totem Candles ($12+) in an earthy terracotta hue can be displayed all year long.
Helpful Tech Accessories: One can never have too many phone gadgets. The ban.do Retractable Charging Cord ($30) is a useful everyday option for avoiding that dreaded Low Battery Mode notification. And because everyone's camera roll count is climbing, Instagram assistants like the Urban Outfitters Universal Mobile Lens Kit ($16) and LuMee Marble Power Light Bundle ($121) will keep the selfie game strong.
Self-Care Accessories: Who doesn't need a few extra things in their self-care arsenal? It all starts with staying hydrated with the Hidrate Spark 2.0A Smart Water Bottle ($45) that actually illuminates as a reminder to drink up. Crystal Rx: Daily Rituals for Cultivating Calm, Achieving Your Goals, and Rocking Your Inner Gem Boss ($13) is an enlightening read for the aspiring #GoodVibes enthusiast. And because everyone can always use a soothing bath bomb, the Lush Cosmetics Wow Box ($380) is like hitting the jackpot of bath soaks.
Touch-and-Feel Toys: Let's be honest: Holiday gifting is all about the kids. For the future graphic designer, this Crate and Barrel Color Wheel Puzzle ($35) is ideal. Gift the future IGer a Magnolia Wooden Toy Camera ($32). Or a monthly subscription box like Lovevery Play Kit (starting at $36/month) is the gift that keeps on giving all year round, much to the relief of the new parent in your life.
Hostess Essentials: Between all the dinner parties and get-togethers at her home, it's important for your girl to keep a healthy rotation of entertaining accessories. Glitzy tabletop conversation starters like the Jonathan Adler Bon Bon Dish ($228) can be used on the cocktail table or as part of a full Friendsgiving spread. Add a little pop of color to the rest of those hostess staples with the embellished Anthropologie Portina Cheese Board ($88) and Helen Levi Tea for Two Bundle ($102).
