Cozy Gifts for Her

For the mom, sister, best friend or coworker who deserves a night on the couch. Soft, smells good, and nothing she has to assemble.

The easy win for the coworker or teacher you don't know that well. It already comes boxed and smells like sugar cookies, so all you have to do is stick a bow on it.
Dove Sweet as a Cookie Gift Set

This one doesn't look like a cheap candle. The red glass tree is pretty enough to stay out as decor after it burns down, and it comes in a few other holiday scents if candy cane isn't her thing.

It's a blanket with sleeves and a hood, and whoever opens it is wearing it before the paper's picked up. Plenty of colors and prints to pick from, but check the price on your color because a few run a little higher.

Winter hands and heels are rough, and this little kit fixes both. Hand cream, foot cream, cuticle cream and a lip balm, all in a box that's already gift-ready. Good for anybody on your list who works with their hands.

Gifts for the Guys Who Say They Don't Need Anything

He says he doesn't need anything. He's wrong. These are the useful little things he'll use every day and never buy for himself.

For the man who's out walking the dog or taking the trash to the road after dark with his phone flashlight. Knit hat with a light built into the brim, and it charges with a USB cord, so no batteries to hunt down.

It's Walmart's answer to the fancy tumbler everybody's carrying, for a fraction of the price. Fits in the truck cup holder, keeps his Dr Pepper cold all day in the shop, and there's a bunch of colors if tan's not his thing.

Small enough for the workbench, the boat or the back porch, and it's waterproof, so a little rain or a knocked-over drink won't kill it. He'll have his music going in the garage by Christmas afternoon.

Gifts the Kids Will Actually Play With

Toys that get played with long after the wrapping paper is in the trash bag. Good for kids, grandkids, nieces, nephews and the neighbor kids.

Three toys in one box. Build the cat, then take it apart and make a dog or a pigeon, which buys you a few more quiet afternoons after Christmas. Best for kids about 8 and up.

Twenty cars for about the price of a pizza. Little boys and girls who love cars will line these up all over the living room floor, so watch your step on Christmas night. Styles are random, which is half the fun.
Hot Wheels 20-Car Gift Pack

For the littles, ages 2 and up. Ten mini cans in Christmas colors, and they're the right size to split up across a couple of stockings. Put a plastic tablecloth down first, because Play-Doh always finds the carpet.

Don't Forget the Dog

The dog knows it's Christmas. Put something under the tree with their name on it so they quit sniffing everybody else's presents.

Five Christmas dog toys already stuffed in a stocking, so it's wrapped and ready the second you buy it. If you've got more than one dog, grab a couple, because nobody wants a Christmas morning fight over the Santa toy.

Smear a little xylitol-free peanut butter or plain yogurt on one of these, stick it to the floor, and the dog is busy for a good while. That's your window to wrap presents without a nose in every bag. Two in the pack, so freeze one ahead of time.

Stocking Stuffers & White Elephant Winners

For the office party, the family gift swap or the stocking that still has room. These are the ones that get stolen.

The white elephant gift people actually fight over. It makes one little 4-inch waffle at a time, perfect for a college kid, a first apartment or Christmas morning breakfast. Comes in a bunch of fun prints.

If your family quotes Christmas Vacation every December, somebody needs this mug. It's acrylic instead of glass, so it won't shatter when it gets passed around the gift swap. Fill it with eggnog and you've got the whole Clark Griswold look.

Think hot potato with cartoon cats. A game takes about 15 minutes and it works for ages 7 and up, so the teenagers and Grandma can play at the same table after dinner. Small enough to fit in a stocking, too.
