The most thoughtful gift giver is one who is fully attuned to what makes their giftee unique. Are they an animal lover who considers their pets proper children? Is it a label-hoarding friend who loves luxury and a bit of conscious consumption? Are you shopping for someone who only ever asks for gift cards? Knowing all these things will lead you to unearth what is sure to be the perfect present.
To help us answer some of these questions, we’ve called upon Naomi Watts, who had quite a few clever suggestions to ensure you nail gift-giving season. Who better to give present recommendations than someone who has it all (and incredibly chic style), right? Read on for her genius gift ideas below.
For the coworker you barely know
A Costa Brazil candle—a candle is always a safe bet, and this one’s a crowd-pleaser.
For a new boyfriend or girlfriend (and you don’t want to go overboard)
A cheeseboard. Let’s keep the romance going…
For the in-laws you’re spending the holidays with and need to impress
The Holiday Box from Onda, filled with an assortment of so many pampering goodies.
For the high-fashion friend who loves anything with a logo
An NFT, whatever the hell those are.

For a minimalist friend who believes less is more
A Flowerbx subscription. Nobody gets to complain about freshly cut stems!
For a dad who swears all he wants is a handmade card
Some kind of experience? Theater tickets? Moulin Rouge! for festive vibes.
For a mom who returns everything you give her
Gift certificate? Stop making your problems my problem, Mom. Love you. Or a gorgeous cashmere sweater from Suzi Kondi.
For a sister who prefers gift cards to wrapped presents
A Foundrae necklace. I’ll keep it if she doesn’t like it. Or a facial from Onda.
For a brother who only ever asks for socks
OMG, I’m happy to just keep buying socks for him.
For your old college roommate who just had a baby
These basket bassinets from Design Dua are just too cute. Please, someone in my life, have a baby!
For that couple you forgot to give a wedding gift to
An Hermès blanket, because when else will someone splurge like that on you.
