Google Just Revealed the 100 Best Holiday Gifts to Buy in 2023

Publish date: 2024-05-06

I am what could only be considered Type A. I love making lists and keeping things organized, so it only makes sense that putting together my holiday shopping plan brings me unadulterated joy. Somehow, Google must have known all of this about me — because it just released its Holiday 100 list, which is chock full of trending gift picks for the season.

The list includes gifts across a wide variety of categories, including fashion, beauty, pets, tech, and home. If, like me, you’ve been a bit lax about actually starting your holiday shopping (hey, I love being organized, but I also love to procrastinate), this list will make shopping for the perfect presents so much easier. Except, of course, if you want all the gifts for yourself (and there’s nothing wrong with that). 

While sifting through the entire list is definitely worth it, in the meantime, here are 10 of our favorite gifts that you won’t want to miss. Bonus — some of them are even on sale right now.

Top-Searched Gifts on Google:

Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag

A belt bag is a must-have bag style that can be used for everything from travel to concerts. The hands-free silhouette makes it easy to, well, be hands-free, and it’s perfect for holding all your essentials. To that end, Google notes that searches for Lululemon’s viral Everywhere Belt Bag shot up 650 percent over the past year — and it stands to reason, with more than 17,000 five-star ratings.

The water-repellent design has both exterior and interior pockets and an adjustable strap. Plus, it comes in 11 different colors, including black, white and gold, silver, and even a multicolored check. One shopper called it a “lifesaver” even when they broke their foot on a trip to Italy. “It held my passport, wallet, small brush and several other items I needed, but the best part was I could wear it across my body or around my waist and it didn’t interfere with crutches,” they said.

Sorel Kinetic Breakthru Caribou Suede Boots

Gilt

Another trending gift pick on Google’s list this year are these rugged winter boots from Sorel. They actually have me yearning for frigid winter temperatures, since the functional-yet-fashionable silhouette features a lace-up closure, cozy fleece trim, and a substantial treaded rubber outsole. I’m envisioning pairing these with fleece-lined leggings and a chunky knit sweater come January. And, to sweeten the deal, they’re currently 51 percent off on Gilt.

Ugg Tasman Slippers

Nordstrom

There are slippers, and then there are slippers. In the case of the Ugg Tasman slippers, they’re definitely the latter — because, according to Google, searches for them soared 900 percent this past year. It’s easy to see why, since the ever-popular clog style is designed in soft, snuggly suede with bold embroidered trim. Not to mention the grippy rubber outsole makes them equally simple to wear both in and out of the house. The round-toe silhouette comes in 6 different colors, including black, chestnut, dark gray and pink. While some shoppers say the sizing runs small and others say it runs large, they’ve garnered a host of five-star reviews, with customers saying they’re “super cute and comfortable,” “warm and super stylish,” and that they make your feet “feel like walking on pillows.”

Cozyberry Querencia Candle Warmer Lamp

Amazon

You’re getting warmer… according to Google, that is. Search interest for this Cozyberry candle warmer increased exponentially over the past year — it went up over 1,000 percent, as a matter of fact. While I’ll admit I just learned about this specific candle warmer, I was definitely in the candle warmer search category this year. This one melts your candle with top-down technology to release a pure, clean fragrance that lasts twice as long as actually burning the candle. As a self-proclaimed candle addict, I’m definitely intrigued by a device that doubles my candles’ burn time. This lamp also has an adjustable, built-in dimmer switch. 

It’s racked up almost 500 five-star ratings on Amazon, too. “My candles burn longer,” said one shopper, who bought six of them. “I'm a bit OCD, so I tracked my burn time. Like, an average of 4.667 percent longer!”
