The 15 Gifts You Loved the Most This Year
In this edition of The Gift, we count down the most popular gifts of the year, according to newsletter readers.
This year, the first full one of this newsletter, we’ve brought you hundreds of gift recommendations. For the usual occasions — birthdays, Valentine’s Day, and Father’s Day, yes — but for a lot of life’s other moments, too. Gifts to uplift a friend facing fertility challenges, ground the newly divorced, or offer a small comfort after a natural disaster. And this beaded turkey pillow, just because.
Gifting is both a vessel and a portal into the ways we care for each other. It’s how we share one of the most important facets of our humanity: making others feel seen. And it can also be a very real stressor, another thing on a long laundry list in, say, mid-December as the holidays encroach.
Our hope, always, is that this newsletter helps you with all of that. So it’s thrilling to see such an eclectic mix on this list, the 15 most-clicked gifts from The Gift this year.
There’s sparkly jewelry, heirloom apparel, the practical and the extremely impractical. Each of them bestowed upon and unwrapped many, many times, by many of your loved ones, in the big and little moments of their lives. What a privilege to help you connect with those who are important to you. You are so very important to us. Merry, merry.
