What a Shopping Editor Is Eyeing from Google’s Impressive Gift Guide This Year

Gift guide season is in full swing. As a shopping editor, this is one of my favorite times of the year because I get to sort through all the products we’ve tested and recommend the ones I know will bring smiles. I’m always curious to see what gifts other sites and celebrities recommend (looking at you, Oprah’s Favorite Things), and I have to say: I was blown away by today’s edition of the Google Holiday 100 list.

There are tried-and-true gifts like Birkenstock sandals, modern home decor items like a portable mid-century mushroom lamp, and even some quirky but gifty items like this candle warmer.

To create this list of 100 gift items, Google analyzed search data from June to September. It uses Google Trends to identify items that have been highly searched for, recently searched for, or trending over a period of time. Basically, there’s no hidden agenda — these are simply things that a lot of people wanted to buy this year.

Read the Google Holiday 100 gifts that definitely caught my attention.

Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag

Lululemon

Buy at Lululemon $36

The Everywhere Belt Bag from Lululemon lives up to its name: We’ve seen this bag pop up, well, everywhere, everywhere this year. Celebrities like Cameron Diaz and Kate Hudson have been seen with belt bags this season, and Camila Cabello walked the streets of New York with just this Lululemon belt bag. This would make a great gift under $50 for your celebrity-obsessed friend looking for a hands-free option.

Amazon OXO Good Grips 14 Piece Cookie Press Set

Amazon

Buy on Amazon $32

Baking holiday cookies is a long-standing tradition in my home, but with two little ones begging to “help” make Santa cookies, it gets a little messy. That’s why this Oxo cookie press set is a genius invention. You just roll in the batter of your choice – I’m looking at Reba McEntire’s cookie recipe – and press out uniquely shaped cookies.

Squishmallows Bluey

Target Squishmallows Bluey Hugmees 10'' Medium Plush

Goal

Buy at Target $10

To be honest, I have no idea why squishmallows are so popular, but I don’t create trends, I just report them. This special squishmallow combines two current things kids love: a show Bluey and a plush toy. This $10 gift will be a hit with many kids during the holiday season.

Tlinna eye massager

Amazon TLINNA eye massager

Amazon

Buy on Amazon $29

This was one of my favorite things on the Google Holiday 100 list. It combines an “air cushion rub”, vibrations and a heated pad to soothe and gently massage the eye area. I’d be willing to pay close to $100 for this self-care gadget, but at just $30, it’s an easy gift to add to your cart.

Hoofun electric centrifugal cleaner

Walmart HOOFUN electric spin washer

Walmart

Buy at Walmart $100 $50

Electric spin washers were some of the most purchased items during Amazon’s October Prime Day, so it’s safe to say that spin washers will also be a popular purchase during the holiday season. Get rid of dirt and grime before hosting holiday guests, or gift this to your partner as a not-so-subtle hint that it’s their turn for a deep bathroom clean.

Bedsure human bed for dogs

Amazon Bedsure Human Dog Bed

Amazon

Buy on Amazon $180 $160

Soothing donut beds aren’t just for dogs. And people deserve to snuggle up on a giant plush bed! My chihuahua has this Bedsure Donut Bed and the thought of twinning my dog ​​with a human-sized version of me fills me with so much joy. This is definitely going on my holiday shopping list.

Cadence capsules, set of 6 pieces

Cadence Originals

Cadence

Buy at Keepyourcadence.com $84 $76

I received a sample of the Cadence Capsule Set when it was first released and it has become one of my favorite travel essentials. I use it to store face serums, lotions, eye creams, jewelry, medicine—whatever you want, and I probably have a Cadence capsule for that too. They’re easy to add to any set you already own, but they also make great gifts for your travel-loving friends.

Anker Nebula Capsule Mini Projector

Anker Nebula Capsule

Amazon

Buy on Amazon $290

Movie projectors can be expensive, but this mini projector is about half the price of larger models, and its compact size means you can move it from the family room to the patio without any problems. This would be a fun, new way to enjoy a date night or have fun playing a bedtime game.

Yeti Tundra Haul Cooler on Wheels

Yeti

Buy at Yeti.com $450

It’s no surprise that the Yeti refrigerator made the Google Holiday 100 list; it was just a question of which one. This Tundra Haul cooler has wheels for easy maneuverability, and we love the limited edition colors.

For those who love crafting, this crochet kit for beginners is sure to be a crowd pleaser. For $15, you get all the materials you need, as well as instructions and a hook.
