GIFTS FOR THE BEAUTY GURU
Why Team FP Loves It: Our beauty team curated a holiday beauty bag filled with four of their most recommended products. Perfect for the busy holiday season, it has all the party-ready finishing touches you need, hand selected by our beauty experts.

GIFTS FOR THE HOST WITH THE MOST
Why Team FP Loves It: When it comes to a memorable get-together, it’s the special touches that make the experience stand out. Women-owned (and gluten-free!), these cocktail cubes are a fun party trick sure to elicit oohs and ahhs from your guests. It turns drink mixing into a fun, shared experience—which is all a good host wants, anyway, to enjoy spending time together.
Who To Give To: Your friend with an open-door policy, who’s always coming up with a reason to celebrate, who loves to curate an event.

GIFTS FOR THE COZY COLLECTOR
Why Team FP Loves It: When this sweater was first introduced, the team said it would become the sweater we’d all be wearing for years. It’s a super soft, plush cotton blend that comes in many colors and is under $100. As predicted, it has become the fan favorite sweater around the office. I can confirm everyone I work with owns it in at least one color—in fact, I have the new whispering willow color on my wish list this year.
Who To Give To: The one who’s always a little chilly, who’s constantly making another cup of tea, who counts down the days until they can curl up by the fireplace.

GIFTS FOR THE HOLIDAY HOMEBODY
Why Team FP Loves It: Slippers are our shoe merchandiser’s go-to gift for everyone on her list. She loves to gift the people she loves permission to relax. This year she’s recommending this faux fur pair that’s irresistibly soft and comfy—just imagine how good it would feel to slip them on after a long day of holiday festivities.
Who To Give To: Your friend who changes into comfy clothes the minute they arrive home, who gladly stays in on the weekends, who considers resting a serious hobby.

GIFTS FOR THE WELLNESS ENTHUSIAST
Why Team FP Loves It: The Free People Home Office has been Bala Bangles’s biggest fans since I started working here almost a decade ago. At any given moment you’re likely to find a pair in someone’s possession. They’re the easiest way to make your daily routine feel like you’re getting a little workout in. Just strap them to your wrists or ankles and go about your day. Or for the wellness aficionado, add them as an extra weight in your workout.
Who To Give To: The one who hits their step goal every day, who knows their sleep score, who carries their water bottle everywhere.

GIFTS FOR THE SENTIMENTAL ONE
Why Team FP Loves It: Our gift merchandiser, Claire, has become my most trusted source for gift inspiration. She always has a gift-giving strategy to share that makes choosing a present much easier. This year it’s all about connection. With analog hobbies trending already, now is a great time to jump on the bandwagon and gift your friends some quality time. A vintage-style board game with a little note inside to say you can’t wait to play together makes it more than just a box to unwrap; it’s also a promise to enjoy each other’s company.
Who To Give To: The one who keeps a memento box, whose love language is quality time, who’s embracing life with fewer screens.
