Uncovering the perfect holiday gift for one person is hard enough—but an entire group? Now that's just downright overwhelming. Because here's the deal: Every group is different! Maybe it's your gang of besties who are forever ride-or-die no matter what, a group chat with friends back home that’s constantly popping off, or a bunch of colleagues who’ve practically become your work family. On the other hand, perhaps, it’s your actual blood-related family—and so you have to get a lil something special for every member. And if you have all of the above (and then some) on your list of people to buy presents for, you could find yourself shopping for hours… maybe even days, and who has time for that? (Hi, that’s us, we have the time!)

Whatever your gift-giving ordeal, finding unique presents that work for a whole slew of people can be a lil challenging.
