Looking for a holiday gift for a photo lover, a beauty fan or someone who needs a lighter laptop? Lifestyle host and tech journalist Anna De Souza shares her 2026 picks and explains who might enjoy each one.
How can we add a personal touch to our holiday gifts this year?
Looking for hot holiday gifts and gadgets? Cricut StickerPix Print is one of Cricut’s newest machines, making it easier than ever to bring your favorite photos off your phone and into real life. From printing family photos to frame or share with loved ones, to making personalized holiday cards, stickers, and labels, it’s an easy way to make memories tangible right at home. It’s a great gift for anyone who loves taking photos, sharing memories, or adding a personal touch to the holidays.
What is a great gift idea for the beauty lover?
For those who love all things glow and glam, I recommend IPSY, the leading curated beauty membership that delivers some of the most coveted makeup and skincare finds right to your door every month! Their advent calendar makes the countdown part of the fun—25 doors filled with $682 worth of beauty finds for under $180. For the first time, you don’t have to be a member to get one! You can keep the surprises coming with a 3, 6, or 12-month gift subscription, starting at just $52. Each delivery is tailored to their preferences, so even your last-minute gifting game gets a quite the glow-up!
What is one of the trending tech gifts this year?
One of the top trending gifts this year is the Dell XPS 13. This lightweight laptop delivers a premium experience without the expensive price tag. At just 2.2 pounds and half an inch thin, it packs up to 17 hours of streaming battery life, so it’s ready for a holiday movie marathon without hunting for an outlet. Add in a stunning 2.5K touchscreen and a backlit keyboard, and it’s the perfect gift for students, travelers, creators, and everyone in between. Best of all, during Black Friday week, the XPS 13 will be on sale for up to $400 off, depending on the configuration, at Dell.com.
