The holidays are upon us, and if you’re looking for great gifts to deliver for Christmas, Hanukkah or just a special gathering, we’ve found a number of unique gift ideas at Urban Outfitters. While UO is already a go-to for festive fashions (say, for your work holiday party or family dinner), their website has also been restocked with hundreds of gifting picks for every budget and occasion.
Unlike some big box department stores or mass retailers online, picking up gifts from Urban Outfitters feel slightly more curated and thoughtful. The store has a number of exclusive pieces that you won’t find anywhere else, alongside quirky trinkets, cool decor items and practical gifts that your recipient will actually be excited to receive. In other words: there will be no swapping gifts at White Elephant parties here (though the site has suggestions on what to bring to those parties too)
Whether you want to show up with something unique for a holiday gathering or want to surprise a friend or loved one, we’ve rounded up 20 of the best gifts to pick up from Urban Outfitters right now.
PURSE-SONAL FAVE
Baggu Mini Nylon Shoulder Bag
Baggu makes some of our favorite go-to bags, thanks to their stylish silhouettes, fun colorways and easy wearability. This purse gets you the look of a high-end shoulder bag but with sustainable materials and an adjustable, goes-with-anything fit.
WRAPPED IN WARMTH
UO Plaid Scarf
A plaid scarf never goes out of style and is an always-appreciated gift, whether you’re wearing it to finish off a date night look or to stay cozy at the chalet. We’re partial to the classic look of black and white checks, though UO offers up the scarf in three other patterns as well.
CHIC READS
Little Books Of Fashion Series
These “Little Books” chronicle the history of the world’s most famous fashion brands, from Alexander McQueen to Versace (and everything in between). Perfect for bedside reading or as a display piece, the hardcover monographs are a chic gift idea for all the fashionphiles in your life.
BEST OF BOTH WORLDS
UO Lily Puffy Slipper
Puffy slippers divided the country this year, with some people gushing over the cloud-like comfort of the shoes, while others turned their noses up at the bulky designs. These puffy slip-ons find a happy medium, with a quilted lining for warmth and a chunky design that wouldn’t look out of place in a street style spread. Speaking of: the rubber sole lets you wear these slippers indoors and out.
NO BOOTS ABOUT IT
Sorel Kinetic Impact Caribou Boot
Sorel Boots were listed on Google’s annual list of the 100 most-searched for holiday products of the year, and for good reason: these durable boots can really take a beating, while the waterproof lining prevents your feet from getting soaked in the slush and snow.
ICE ICE MAYBE?
REVIVE Ice Roller
You haven’t felt relaxation until you’ve rolled an ice roller over your face, with the portable device helping to relieve tension, lift saggy skin and de-puff tired eyes at all once. Keep this in the freezer and gently roll it around your face and neck after applying your favorite beauty products. This ice roller makes a great stocking stuffer too!
MAGIC WAND
Solawave Radiant Renewal 4-In-1 Skincare Wand & Serum Set
One of the most popular products of the year, the Solawave 4-in-1 Skincare Wand uses red light therapy and warm massaging currents to help de-puff, tighten, smooth and sculpt your face. This set comes with Solawave’s popular serum too, which helps to improve skin tone and texture when used with the wand.
GOLD STANDARD
Barbarossa Brothers Titanium Electric Foil Shaver
For the men in your life, this portable shaver mimics the look of a luxurious gold bar, while delivering a close and comfortable shave. The powerful battery and precision trimmers let you use this for head shaving and body grooming too. Electric razors are always a popular gift idea but few look as good — or will be as loved — as this one.
SHOWER POWER
T3 Source Shower Filter Showerhead
A showerhead as a gift idea? Yes. Especially when it’s this one, which uses a filter to eliminate iron oxide, dirt, sediment and odors from the water before it hits your face and body. Reviewers say it’s helped to make their hair softer and lighter too, with less build-up in the water to — literally — weigh you down.
HANDHELD GAMING
Retro Game Keychain
A fun stocking stuffer or gift for gamers, it’s hard to resist these mini keychains, which feature fully-functioning versions of your favorite childhood arcade games. Choose from Tetris or Pac-Man and start playing with two AAA batteries (not included).
INSTANT HIT
Fujifilm Instax Mini Evo Hybrid Instant Camera
Instant cameras are always an instant hit for the holidays and we like the vintage-inspired design of this one, from Fujifilm. In addition to printing photos directly from the unit, this camera lets you choose from ten lens effect options and ten film effect options so you can create your own IRL filters.
PICTURE THIS
UO Instax Photo Album
An Urban Outfitters exclusive, this mini photo album can hold up to 64 INSTAX photos (or other instant photo prints). A pocket on the front lets you display a favorite photo or holiday note.
MID-CENTURY MUSICAL
Crosley Mini Rondo Retro Radio
This retro-style radio doubles as a Bluetooth speaker, letting you take calls, listen to podcasts or pair your phone to play your favorite tunes. We love the mid-century look of the mini radio, which is a great accessory for bedside tables and desks alike.
TURNING HEADS
Audio-Technica Sound Burger Turntable
Leave it to Urban Outfitters to carry one of the coolest turntables we’ve ever seen. The modern design and sleek finish of this record player mirrors the technical prowess of its manufacturer, Audio-Technica. The slim profile, meantime, makes this a portable turntable too. The only thing you have to decide now: which of UO’s exclusive vinyls you’re going to pick up alongside this musical machine.
SIX-LP SET
Green Day – Dookie (30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition)
Speaking of vinyl, Urban Outfitters has this limited-edition 30th anniversary edition of Green Day’s landmark album, “Dookie.” The set features album tracks and bonus tracks over six LPs, plus a 36-page book, air freshener, poster, button set, magnet sheet, bumper sticker and more.
LIGHTS UP
Ansel Mini LED Table Lamp
This mini table lamp delivers good vibes (and good lighting) for any space. The rechargeable lamp gets up to six hours per charge and lets you tap on and tap off to adjust settings. Choose from six colors.
COZY AND COMFORTABLE
Lana Faux Fur Throw Blanket
This oversized faux fur blanket is perfect for movie nights and sleepovers, with a super soft and fuzzy exterior and a smooth velvet lining. An Urban Outfitters exclusive, we like how good this blanket would look as a decorative throw too.
GLOWING AND GIFTABLE
Lola Glass Bow 6 oz Candle
This gorgeous candle adds ambience and style to your space, thanks to its lidded glass design and pretty bow topper. Choose from multiple scents and colorways. The wax candle gets a 50-hour burn time.
MINI MISTER
Mini Aquarium Humidifier
A unique gift that’s sure to surprise and delight, this “aquarium” is really a working humidifier, with two misting modes to help with dry skin and allergies. It doubles as a nightlight too.
SCULPTED PICK
Tangle Museum Chrome Sculpture
Inspired by the Tibetan Infinite Knot, this sculpture represents the idea of energy and blessings everflowing with no end. Pull the sculpture apart to reconfigure it into countless shapes and silhouettes. This is a thoughtful gift with meaning behind it and someone your recipient will cherish for years to come.
GOOD VIBES
Conscious Items The Healing Crystal Starter Kit
Whether your recipient is just getting into crystals or looking to expand their existing collection, this kit is a great way to send forth good vibes for the holidays. The set includes six crystals known for their healing properties: Clear Quartz, Amethyst, Selenite, Rose Quartz, Citrine and Tiger’s Eye.
