Are you, like me, finding yourself less than two weeks out from Christmas and still desperately texting your friends in search of gifts that are really going to impress your loved ones? My 3.5- and almost-5-year-olds aren’t yet making their wishlists on PowerPoint yet (looking at you, tween parents), but they’ve scribbled down enough keywords (“unicorn,” “Rudolph” and “cat” among them) for me to recognize that the stakes are high this year. Plus, I have the adults in my life to think about.
I’m looking for impressive skin care gifts for my mom, yet another pair of merino wool socks for my spouse, and maybe a thing or two for myself. If you’re also shopping for children and adults alike this season, check out the list I’ve come up with. I’ve tried extra-hard to make a list that feels as special as everyone you’re shopping for.

There is nothing cuter than watching your no-longer-a-toddler-but-not-quite-big kid play charades for the first time. We got this card game as birthday gift when my younger daughter turned 3 over the summer and it's been a riot to play. There’s very little to the game (in a good way) — you just draw a card and enact what you see.
All the cards.
