‘Tis the season of gift giving! There’s no better way to show your partner how much you love and appreciate them than with an amazing, thoughtful gift, and the holiday season is the perfect opportunity to treat your significant other to something extra special. Whether this is your first holiday together or your 10th, you’re probably feeling a lot of pressure to find that perfect present. Luckily, our editors are here to help.

We asked the Brides team to share the gifts they'd give their partners this holiday season. For us, the best gifts are both practical and personal. It’s important to select an item that your significant other will actually use; if you need ideas, consider their unique hobbies, interests, and personality. Is your partner a homebody who loves to keep cozy? Consider gifting them a plush robe they can wear for your next movie night. If your significant other is a beauty fanatic who’s always eager to try the latest trends, a set of best-selling skincare products will be a huge hit.

From high-tech products to fashion accessories, here 17 amazing presents to consider wrapping up for your partner this holiday season.
