Choosing the best Christmas gifts for the ones you love is either an epic quest that you look forward to every year — or one you dread. Luckily, we spend our days testing all the latest gadgets and gear, and we know exactly what to recommend. For 2025, our Christmas wishlist is simple: It’s all of the things we’ve loved the most this year, from the tech we’re putting to the test every week, to the swoonworthy items we just had to take home and keep for ourselves.

So whether you’re searching for Christmas gifts for your mom and dad, or just in need of a good stocking stuffer, this may truly be the only Christmas gift guide you’ll need.
