Anthropologie We're (for the most part) a bunch of planners here at Southern Living, so we like to make sure all our ducks are in a row when it comes to holiday shopping. We want to be sure that the treasures we know and love are all wrapped up in bows in time for Christmas day. These days it feels harder than ever to gift things to people because there are a million and one options on the market. So why not pull inspiration from others? We thought it best to ask our editors, who see and hear about so many amazing products daily, to learn about their go-to ideas and add-to-cart-ASAP gifts this season. These presents are a mixture of those gotta-have-it-now items, plus a few staples that are clever ideas to have on hand. We even included a few picks that you may want to buy for yourself. (The gift buyer should be allowed a little fun while browsing, right?) Put on your Santa hats and get in the holiday spirit to order these in-demand gifts ahead of time. You'll thank us later.
