About 99% of the time, having trendy people in your life is awesome. They keep you up to date on all the latest must-haves, and — if you’re really lucky — are generous with hand-me-downs. During the holidays, however, your coolest friends and family members become a little bit tricky. After all, how are you supposed to figure out what to buy for the person who’s always giving you shopping advice?
The answer’s actually pretty simple: That’s what we’re here for! Not only do we spend practically every waking hour scouring the internet for fab finds, but we’re also tapped into insider sources at your favorite retailers who give us the scoop on what’s selling like hotcakes.
If you’ll be shopping at Walmart for everyday essentials at any point this season, then make time to check out the retailer’s impressive trending gift selection while you’re there. Martha on the Mantle (yes, for real!) is blowing up right now, and shoppers can’t get enough of this sweet Sabrina Carpenter scent. And there are more trendy presents where those came from — check them out below.
Move over Elf on the Shelf, it’s Martha Stewart’s moment right now. Inspired by the diva of domesticity herself, this posable doll comes complete with a fur stole a bottle of wine and all sorts of other “good things.” According to Walmart, more than 500 shoppers have purchased this item in the last 24 hours, so we’re calling it now; it’s going to sell out soon.
If you’ve turned on your television at any point in the last few months, then you’ve certainly spent time with America’s current sweetheart Snoop Dogg. First, he was at the Paris Olympics; now, he’s a coach on The Voice. And this holiday season, you can welcome him into your home thanks to this adorable ornament. It’ll look absolutely perfect peeking out of a stocking on Christmas morning or hanging on the Christmas tree.
The new Wicked film is absolutely everywhere right now — so why not on the pages of an adult coloring book, too? Pair with a pack of colored pencils for a gift that’s heavy on the self-care vibes.
If we’re talking trendy, Taylor Swift is an obvious choice. And of course, anything musical is ten times cooler when it comes on vinyl — or in this case, two separate discs, both in a dreamy white color.
If you’re going the vinyl route, consider completing the gift with a vintage-looking record player that’s souped up with modern-day technology. This trendy green gadget has a built-in Bluetooth receiver and full-range stereo speakers.
Not sure your gift recipient will like green? There are six other colors to choose from.
Even a year removed from her summer of stardom, Barbie and everything in her orbit remain a combo of cute and cool. This cool mini fridge is a thermoelectric cooler, meaning it’s much better for the environment than a standard option. Six beverage cans or the equivalent fit inside.
We’re not too proud to take a cue from Miss Carpenter herself, and urge you to please, please, please check out her signature fragrance. The sweet perfume has notes of cocoa, hazelnut, vanilla, jasmine and bergamot, inspired by the pop star’s love of all things dessert.
If you still think of Lego sets as toys for little kids, you’ve got some catching up to do. Adult versions of the building blocks have become some of the hottest items around, both for their cool final look and the enjoyment involved in putting them together. This set creates a vibrant bunch of wildflowers that make a fun home decor piece once complete.
Your Insta-obsessed friend is sure to appreciate these beautifully scented candles that come in aesthetic fluted glass holders. Once the wax is burned, the vessels can be repurposed for storing makeup brushes and hair elastics on a dresser or vanity.
Loved by A-listers like Hailey Bieber and Vanessa Hudgens, Skin Gym facial care products are true must-haves. This set includes the best-selling Signature Face Oil and Rose Quartz Sculpty Heart Gua Sha, which together give the unbeatable gift of glowing, nourished skin.
We’d usually consider a slow cooker the epitome of a timeless gift, but Drew Barrymore’s interpretation from her Beautiful line is seriously trendy. A range of pretty matte colors is available, all with sleek gold accents. It’s super functional, too — the cooker has a capacity of six quarts and includes five present functions.
Tumblers are in the midst of a big-time moment, and trendy friends will love adding a new one to their collection. Cirkul’s 40-ounce version comes with all the must-have features including a spill-resistant lid, double-wall vacuum insulation and an ergonomic handle. There’s also a flavor cartridge functionality that adds a fun twist to their daily water intake.
One easy way to pick a trendy present: Choose something from a trusted, beloved, always-on-trend brand. In this case, we’re going with Peter Thomas Roth. Their pumpkin mask will revive dull winter skin with a seasonal scent and near-magical exfoliation powers.
