Google Dropped the 100 Best Holiday Gifts of 2024, Starting at $14

Must read

If you’re not sure what to gift during the holiday season, turning towards data is never a bad idea. IMO, grabbing that item everyone has been searching for is always a safe bet. Fortunately, Google just made finding that information—and, in turn, acing this holiday season—really easy.

Google’s annual Holiday 100 list is finally here. It includes 100 of this year’s most searched-for items, ranging from fashion and beauty to home essentials. But since that’s still a lot to choose from, I found 12 items from the list that I think anyone would be happy to receive this holiday season, including affordable buys, a few luxuries, and even some InStyle editor favorites.

12 Trending Holiday Gifts

Bombas Sunday Slipper

Bombas


A pair of nice slippers is one of my favorite things to give during the holidays, and, according to Google, Bombas’s are trending. The brand’s Sunday Slipper is designed from soft, cozy sherpa and features a memory foam footbed. “They truly are like walking on clouds,” wrote one shopper. Supportive house shoes are game changing, but they’re something a lot of us don’t splurge on, which, IMO, is what makes them such a great gift. 

Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment

Rhode 


You can’t go wrong with Hailey Bieber’s Rhode lip balm. The viral treatment manages to be incredibly hydrating, plumping, and glossy, and is available in four scents, including a rich salted caramel (my personal favorite) and a fresh watermelon. You can also shop it in four sheer but buildable tints. At $18, I think this is the perfect stocking stuffer or Secret Santa gift. If you’re planning to grab a few, consider this discounted four pack

Mejuri Diamond Letter Charm

Mejuri


Google reported that searches for charm necklaces hit an “all-time high” this year. This diamond-filled letter charm from Mejuri is a great way to elevate and personalize the trend. This can be added to an existing necklace or bracelet, but if you want to grab them a new one, I think this thin chain matches the charm’s elegance.

Coach Quilted Tabby Shoulder Bag

Coach


Coach’s famous Tabby bag shows no sign of stopping. The bag is available in 15 styles, but it’s the pillow quilted one that people keep searching for; that black leather and gold hardware is incredibly chic. For the fashion obsessee in your life, this is a must-grab.

Dyson Airwrap

Amazon


Funny enough, my mom told me the only thing she wants this year is a nice hair dryer, and it seems she isn’t alone. Dyson’s Airwrap continues to trend. The dryer includes six attachments that are meant to give you the perfect blowout at home without excessive heat damage. Obviously $600 is expensive, but an InStyle beauty editor called the dryer “absolutely” worth it. She wrote that she’s tested a number of the cheaper alternatives and found that none hold a candle to the OG, which gives her “polished, salon-worthy” hair in minutes. Just make sure to use the onsite coupon code for $120 off.
