Compiled by Jessica Wortsman and Helen Vong

Welcome back to that time of year when we head back into the onslaught of freezing temperatures, office Christmas parties, and holiday shopping crowds.  Though it can’t keep your toes warm or make your office party any less of a drag, our gift guide – packed with ideas for everyone on your list – is sure to keep your inner Grinch at bay by making your holiday shopping a piece of cake.

For your skincare lady

Yes, your dermatologist or medical aesthetician deserves some love now. Think about it, they prevent you from looking like an withered grape but rarely do they get credit for it since nobody likes to admit that they’ve gotten some cosmetic help. Show her your appreciation with this appropriately worded tongue-in-cheek apron ($38, Domi Style Gifts).
