The Most Convincing Holiday Gifts of 2016

It is the season of retail freewheeling, a time of year when sales people and pop-up ads can convince even the most strategic and strong-willed shopper to buy, buy, buy. Picking out gifts for him, for her, for whomever, often turns into a mind-bending game of should I or shouldn’t I? “Do I get the fuzzy Fendi bag or the unembellished one that keeps popping up in my Instagram feed?” “Does the Dyson Supersonic hair dryer actually work like this chatty beauty counter lady is saying it does?” At the end of the day, your inner voices are laced with just as much trickery as those pesky sale pushers are. This year, however, we’ve put all of the noise aside to try a new holiday shopping method—letting the fashion, accessories, and home decor do all the talking. Below, listen up and let the gifts be your guides.

Embellished bonbon earrings are, like, totally worth it. Rebecca de Ravenel’s confections are shimmery, shiny, chic, and perfect for festive occasions. We won’t judge if you gift yourself a pair, too.
Cozying up to watch Elf will be even better with fresh popcorn, so hear this model loud and clear: The ’70s-era Air Popper is the answer to all of your at-home movie theater snack cravings.

A set of old-school dominoes from Shinola + Crisloid is just right for a stylish game lover. Set them up, knock them down, and do it all again. It’s the awesome holiday swag that keeps on giving.

Did your kid ask Santa for a dog this year? Fear not, parents: Your iPad-wielding little ones will find plenty of joy in a robotic dog. Just look! He’s already so well trained. Good boy, A.I. Rover.

Whether given to a holiday host or stashed in a stocking, Andrew O. Hughes’s table lighter and ashtray set for Tetra is a sleek little number. It has it all: beautiful design, functionality, and an undeniable allure.

Give the gift of a non-digital selfie this year with Leica’s Sofort instant film camera. Though the snaps may not come with any likes or reposts, the camera’s retro vibe is sure to delight the social media obsessive in your life.

The spritzer is calling you. Givenchy’s Dahlia Divin Le Nectar Powder smells like the perfect present. The recipient, and their olfactory sense, will thank you.
Like puppies in a pet shop window, we dare you to try to choose just one of these chirpy micro baguettes from Fendi. And there’s no grooming required—each should just be slung over a loving, stylish shoulder.
Bottoms up! There’s nothing a home cook or health nut would enjoy more than a ’50s-style Smeg juicer. Fresh-squeezed sounds a lot better than a $12 bottle at your average trendy juice shop, doesn’t it?

Louis Vuitton’s got the beat and so can you this holiday season. The boom box bag is the ultimate over-the-top gift for those who love a good hip-hop–meets–high-fashion moment.

Who wouldn’t like to receive the Cadillac of hair dryers under their tree this year? Dyson’s new model is quieter and less damaging to the hair, thanks to its intelligent heat control system, plus it looks pretty, too. Yeah, baby.
