With the holiday season quickly approaching, it’s a great time to start your gift shopping. Need inspiration? The annual Los Angeles Times Holiday Gift Guide has you covered. Our journalists tested hundreds of gifts, carefully considering their value, especially given the economic state of 2025. There are suggestions for every budget. Check out our gifts with a luxury feel for under $40, for example, or our list of ideas for giving your time instead of presents. If you do venture out on the hunt for delightful items for your loved ones to unwrap, we offer guides to L.A.-area gift shops. May the season be good to you, and happy shopping!
