It’s that magical time of year again: the lights are twinkling, the cocoa is flowing and your shopping list is getting longer by the minute. Of course, you’re Googling “presents for dad who hates everything,” but now, there’s a new trending edit we’re all about.

Enter the Google Shopping Top 100 Gifts, the exclusive edit of what to buy ahead of Christmas based on what people (like you!) are *actually* searching. The search engine’s strategy team has crunched the clicks, tracked the trends and unwrapped the data to bring us The Top 100 Gifts for 2025. It’s a list so good, it basically shops for you.

Whether you’re buying for a Gen Z techie, a TikTok-loving teen, your minimalist sister-in-law or that one coworker you drew for Secret Santa (again), there’s something here to make you look like you planned ahead.

T”his year, the list is full of gifts that encourage nesting and restorative moments,” Sagal Mohammed, commerce editorial and creative lead at Google, exclusively shared with Post Wanted. “We’re seeing a significant increase in items focused on personal well-being, whether it’s sophisticated beauty products designed for an at-home ritual, or cozy home gifts like high-quality espresso cups, aromatherapy diffusers, and elevated cookware sets.”
