The Absolute Best Gift Cards To Give This Holiday

The greatest gift of all? Love, I suppose. But second greatest gift is a gift card. While it might feel like a bit of a cop out, it’s actually the most wanted gift this year, specifically 41 percent of people surveyed by WalletHub wanted a gift card (tied for second place was clothing and electronics at both 15 percent).

And while yeah, you could get them a foolproof gift card from big box spots, like Target, Starbucks, or Best Buy, we think there are ways to customize that gift card further to make it a bit more special. Basing the gift card on their preferences and passions in life show you not only care, but listen, too. Read on for our favorites for each type of person on your list this year.

For the beauty fan

Welcome to the club, beauty lover. No one is intersecting beauty and wellness in such fun ways quite like Cap Beauty, this is a foolproof gift card. Or maybe they love playful and interesting beauty? Well, sprint to Korean beauty experts Peach and Lily for a gift card that’ll really get a lot of bang for their buck.

For the workout fanatic

Give the gift of strength to the person on your list that loves working out. Clothing and shoe sizing is so darn hard, so a gift card is perfect for this type of person. Outdoor Voices is the cool girl’s/guy’s answer to working out, and makes an amazing gift card. Or you’d be hard pressed to find more comfortable leggings in this world than Lululemon leggings (seriously, what are these things made out of?!), this is an easy gift card for the yogi in your life.

For someone who believes health is wealth

For the person in your life that puts wellness first (or wants to in 2018), gift Cafe/of daily vitamins that are personalized to each person and their lifestyle (they’ll even get their name printed on each daily package). Or give them the gift of truly knowing who they are with a DNA test from 23and Me, discovering even their genetic and wellness predispositions.
