Every year, like clockwork, the holidays arrive and we're sent into a rushed panic of finding the perfect gift for everyone special in our lives. There are certainly a bevy of options, from the edible to the charitable—but how do you possibly choose? We asked 17 celebrities what they planned to give to their nearest and dearest. The ultimate seal of approval!
MIRANDA KERR
“I love giving monogrammed gifts because they feel extra personal. This cosmetics case reminds me of rose quartz, one of my favorite crystals, believed to promote love of ourselves and others.”
OLIVIA CULPO
“Marc Jacobs’s Re(cover) Perfecting Coconut Setting Mist. It makes your makeup look more dewy and fresh, which is important during the super dry holiday months.”
AERIN LAUDER
“A beautiful bowl of candy is the perfect finishing touch to any room—especially during the holidays.”
PARIS HILTON
“I love the new Furbo Dog Camera! It allows me to see my doggies and even interact with them and give them treats when I’m traveling for work. I can’t wait to give it to friends who also have dogs.”
LENA DUNHAM
“This year I’ll be giving the latest Girls Write Now anthology. The organization, so close to my heart, connects young women with professional writing mentors who encourage self-expression and help them craft beautiful work that you genuinely want to read. Proceeds from the books go to to continuing the essential work of Girls Write Now. A gift to everyone!”
JONATHAN ADLER
“The people I really like—or whose diets I want to sabotage—will be getting cookies from Levain. I live on a treadmill because of my addiction to them.”
KRISTEN BELL
“These gorgeous leashes come in different colors, plus the proceeds go toward rescue efforts across the country.”
SHAY MITCHELL
“I’ll be be giving friends a membership for Off The Menu Club. They can redeem a free secret menu item each day at some of the coolest restaurants in L.A. Plus, a portion of each membership feeds a child in need every day.”
AMANDA CHANTAL BACON
“Living Libations Best Skin Ever is the most intoxicating rose elixir. It’s part perfume, part balm.”
DIANE VON FURSTENBERG
“Studio 54 is a journey through a very short period of time when we thought we had invented freedom.”
MADDIE ZIEGLER
“The My Cinema Lightbox is adorable—you can change your message to fit whatever mood you’re in.”
BROOKE SHIELDS
“I will be donating to Woman in Need, an organization that provides safe housing, supplies, much-needed care, and offers various programs for homeless women and children in an effort to help rebuild their lives. They have an incredible team, and our donations go directly towards helping those who desperately need it, especially during the cold holiday season.”
UZO ADUBA
“I like the idea of giving the gift that keeps on giving, which is what Heifer International is able to do by helping children and families around the world receive farm animals. You’re not only providing food, milk, and wool as resources, but when the animal gives birth, they’re able to pass this gift onto another family in need, which helps the community as a whole.”
JESSICA ALBA
“The Honest Bathtime Gift Set has all of the essentials you need for baby’s bath time in one perfectly packaged gift set. All of our products are made without synthetic fragrances, so you can feel good about what you’re using on baby.”
