26 Christmas Gifts Scary Mommy Editors Can’t Stop Talking About

“I gave this to my mother for Christmas because I had so many in my house (I love them and use them religiously) as kind of a throw-away gift. She can't stop raving about it. The blade is so much sharper than a scissor and is easy to hold thanks to the handle. Definitely a stocking stuffer I'll repeat for others in years to come.” — Kate Auletta, Editor in Chief

“My mom bought me this necklace because she knows I'm a big fan of layering and gold jewelry. I love the little loop on this one that lets me add my own charms and change them out at will, depending on the look I want that day. It feels sturdy and is just the perfect length.” — Katie McPherson, Associate Editor, Lifestyle & Entertainment

“These pants were a splurge when it comes to Christmas gifts, but... oh my word, were they worth it! My sleeping clothes needed a major upgrade, and these sleep pants from Dagsmejan are lightweight, breathable, and exceptionally soft. I am guilty of wearing them pretty much all day, too.” — Katie Garrity, News & Social Editor

“I recently started dabbling in pilates and barre classes, and wow! These socks are so soft, and the grips on the bottom help keep my unsteady and painfully clumsy self centered and in good form!” —Katie Garrity

“Did I ask for a fan for Christmas? Yes, yes I did! My office gets super hot, especially when we have the heat going, and I like it cozy, but I also need some airflow. I keep this little cutie on my desk, and it does the job of cooling me off without making me feel like I'm in a wind tunnel.” — Katie Garrity

“I am a huge tea drinker, especially in the winter months, and I got a ton of loose-leaf tea for Christmas. These natural paper draw-string tea bags are so easy to use, plus they are made with unbleached paper, which is fully biodegradable and compostable, making them an eco-friendly alternative!” — Katie Garrity

“This tea has become one of my favorites for a nightcap. With a mixture of select Indian black tea leaves, fruity orange pieces, small bits of tart cranberries, spicy ginger, and warming cinnamon sticks, it's like a cozy winter evening in a cup!” — Katie Garrity

“This was a gift for my daughter, but now I think we are ruined for all other crafting kits. This hands-on DIY craft kit helps kids learn about elephants, where they live, and the challenges they face in the wild, all through creating with their own hands.” — Katie Garrity

“My daughter has a lot of energy, but it's hard to get out of the house — and if we do, it's a $50 day at the trampoline park. This Nex Playground wasn't just the ‘It Toy’ of 2025, but also the ‘It Toy’ of my household.” — Katie Garrity

“I would never call myself a jewelry girlie, but I do rock a dainty necklace or ring from time to time. This gorgeous diamond cystralline bracelet from Anna Zuckerman is just the perfect piece that elevates my everyday mom look. I get so many compliments on it!” — Katie Garrity

“We busted this baby out at our small New Year's Eve gathering, and it was a HUGE hit! This works basically like an old school disposable camera (you can only take 25 pictures in 24 hours, and then you have to *wait* for them to ‘develop’) with digital convenience. The pictures come out looking so nostalgic and special. We can't wait to bring this on our family trip next month.” — Katie Garrity

“I now own these in two different colors because they are... well, the best. Oversized, baggy, and oh so comfy!” — Katie Garrity

“I never, ever know what kinds of beauty products to buy. So, I gifted myself something that takes all the guesswork out for me. The FabFitFun beauty box is also the first-ever monthly beauty box (valued at over $150) that comes with 4 full-size, fully customizable products. And trust me, the products are LEGIT.” — Katie Garrity

“My older son borrowed my husband's Quince cashmere sweater when he was cold when we were away over Thanksgiving break, and was amazed at its softness. So I bought him one for Christmas, and he's worn it to a few bat mitzvahs and the like since. It's cozy, a nice color, machine washable (if you put it in a washing bag on low!), and the price is great for cashmere.” — Kate Auletta

“Ever since we had a severe wind storm last summer that left us without power for days, I've been researching power stations so that we don't have to worry about keeping our cell phones and computers working. This was the perfect solution. It looks nice enough to keep out on a shelf and works great for charging our family's devices at night — we ‘put them to bed’ in the same place at the same time, and it feels great!” — Sarah Aswell, Deputy Editor, News & Social

“I love Summersalt's swimsuits, and when I saw these pajamas, I just had to get a Christmas present for myself. They are SO soft and silky, and for some reason Summersalt just understands women's bodies and how they are shaped. Excited to try some of their other clothing types in the future.” — Sarah Aswell

“Aren't these gorgeous? I love jewelry that is simple and classic but that also looks special — and this fits the bill.” — Sarah Aswell

“Forget about coffee, I am a tea girlie. And my partner knows that he cannot go wrong with fancy, pretty loose-leaf tea sets. This was so special, and the teas are amazing.” — Sarah Aswell

“I am a chocolate snob, and I approve of this absolutely decadent chocolate bar. Can't wait to try more from this company.” — Sarah Aswell

“I am on a constant journey for the perfect house shoe. One that looks nice, slides on, and keeps my feet warm but dry. Also a pair that you can still walk down the driveway to get the mail in. These are those slippers!” — Sarah Aswell

“Working from home in a ‘desk job,’ I spend a lot of my day sitting, and I carry a ton of tension in my neck and back as a result. This gives me such relief: spinal decompression, massage, heat... it feels amazing after a long day. I also love it for post-workout recovery, and that it saves my preferred settings.” — Julie Sprankles, Deputy Editor, Lifestyle & Entertainment

“I’m going to be honest, I lowkey want Botox... but I’ll probably never get it because I’m just convinced I’ll have some weirdass rare complication. So, until I get up the nerve (if ever), I’m just relying on Frownies and, now, this mask. It makes my skin look noticeably plumper, smoother, glowier, brighter, more hydrated — all the things!” — Julie Sprankles

“I will admit that when I kept seeing these sheets all over social media, I figured they were mostly hype. It took just one night sleeping on them to fully understand all the rave reviews. I got the Classic Stripe in Ebony for Christmas — my second set — and I’m so obsessed. They’re impossibly soft, they look super chic... I genuinely look forward to crawling into bed when it’s made with these.” — Julie Sprankles

“While I do love getting a professional pedicure, I just can never find the time anymore. Unfortunately, my feet were showing it! These socks from Earth Therapeutics have made such a big difference. I like to scrub my feet using another product from the brand, their Foamy Foot Shampoo (which smells amazing), then dry them off, slather on foot cream, and pull on the aloe socks to sleep in.” — Julie Sprankles

“Yes, I know everyone on the internet is talking about these. However, after we reached out to experts and learned that vibration plates really are beneficial for your health, I was so excited to get one for Christmas. I have a chronic illness that involves high inflammation, and I’ve noticed a massive difference in my pain and stiffness when I use this every day. I feel so much better when I start my day on it.” — Julie Sprankles

“Um, this little lemon seriously delivers. If you’re curious about air-suction toys but feel intimidated, trust me when I say this is a great place to start. It’s discreet, super easy to use, has 12 different patterns, and, you know, it’s super cute. Plus, dear god does it work. Possibly my most favorite spicy toy I’ve ever owned and a true gift to myself.” — Julie Sprankles
