This year, we wanted to brainstorm holiday gifts for everyone on your list that speaks to burgeoning pursuits and hobbies. Maybe your brother has become more invested in exploring the public lands around the local area. Maybe your parents are optimizing their home appliances to create a high-tech kitchen in order to cook more. And maybe your partner is leaning into working out at home, and you want to support their pursuits with fitness gear.
We’ve rounded up 19 presents that are sure to speak to the adventurer, athlete, foodie, and techie on your shopping list. Here’s what to get this holiday season. Also check out The Best Holiday Gifts for the Women in Your Life.
