11 Charming Gifts for Every Kind of Person on Your List

It’s hard to say what excites us most about the holidays — is it the endless buffet of comfort food or the unadulterated joy of tearing open gifts? Or, maybe, it’s that liminal time span between Christmas and New Year’s when we have no idea what day it is. 

The jury is still out, but what we know for sure is our gifts won’t end up in the “return” or “re-gift” pile. Being an excellent gift-giver takes skill but, ultimately, comes down to keeping things simple: quality fabrics and comfy fits make for timeless offerings. 

With that, we’ve rounded up the best gifts for every kind of person on your list — from seriously cozy fabrics to stylish threads. Oh, and don’t forget the cardinal rule of holiday shopping: one for them, one for you

For the Person Who Loves to Host

The Papaya Sculpt Legging has a chic, faux-leather finish and sculpt zones that lift and shape your derriere. They’re stylish enough for party-hosting but comfy enough that you don’t have to skip second servings. 

For the Eternal Homebody

We all know that one person whose ideal Saturday night involves herbal teas and Netflix marathons. In fact, we could probably stand to take a page out of their book. 

Since there's a slim chance they’ll be hitting the dance floor on NYE, gift them something extra cozy to crawl into for an evening of low-key festivities. The Cozzzy Lounge Set is a seasonal Knix favorite that will make the homebodies in your life feel seen.

For the Friend Who’s Always On-the-Go

Jet-setters, busy parents, and folks who never turn down plans all have one thing in common: they never stop moving. We’re also willing to bet they have an affinity for athleisure that allows them to look put together while they’re constantly on-the-go. 

Gifting them a pair of Leakproof Leggings will make them virtually unstoppable — periods and bladder leaks will never slow them down again. Plus: pockets!

For the New (or Expectant) Parent

Has someone in your life recently had their pelvic floor ravaged by a tiny human? We have something for that, too. 

Our Postpartum Care Kit, featuring our BlissFit Nursing Bra and CoreLove Underwear will provide their core with extra love, support, and stability with its built-in velvet compression bands. From the fourth trimester and beyond, your loved one’s healing body will thank you. 

For the Mom Who Likes Being Pampered

Let’s be real, who doesn’t love being pampered? This could apply to just about anyone on your gift-list, but moms are especially deserving of some rest and relaxation. 

Turns out you don’t need to check-in to a five-star hotel for the full spa experience. Leave it to our spa-style Waffle Robe to provide an instant sense of retreat. 

For the Friend Who Always Looks Effortlessly Cool

We all have that one friend — or are that one friend (lucky you!) — who always looks maddeningly fabulous in a laissez-faire kind of way. We’ll let you in on a little secret they probably already know: elevated essentials are where it’s at. 

Our Modal Long Sleeve shirt, for instance, is crafted from luxuriously soft modal spandex. It’s a classic that can be paired with anything; dressed up or dressed down. 

For the Aunt Who Embodies the “Coastal Grandma” Aesthetic

In the aftermath of hot girl summer, coastal grandmother was crowned the new aspirational aesthetic. It’s all fresh bed linens, freshly squeezed mimosas, and loose, breathable fabrics that are effortlessly opulent.

Your aunt may not get this very online reference, but she doesn’t have to in order to appreciate that our Knit Tank and Duster are totally her vibe (and have the perfect drape). 

For the Roommate with a Strict Bedtime

For that aspirational person in your life who’s in bed before the party even gets started, there’s the gift of beauty rest. Made from ultra soft fabric, our Modal Sleep Set is what dreams are made of. 

For the Femme Fatale

She’s fun, she’s flirty — and so are her undergarments. If there’s a femme fatale in your life looking to unleash some feminine energy and channel their inner vixen, look no further than our Lace Collection.

It’s lace that’s meant to be lived in (i.e. no itchy butt cheeks), featuring our Knixy Lace Deep-V Bralette, WingWoman Contour Bra, and matching Lacy Leakproof Underwear

For the Person Who Works From Home

Working from home is all about straddling the line between pajamas and real clothes. The preference are outfits that look cute, but feel as though they could be worn to bed. 

When you gift our Flowy Rib Lounge Set, it’s the gift of ultra comfy workdays you’re gifting.
