The 6 Holiday Gifting Trends That Will Be Everywhere This Season, According to Etsy

The holidays aren't far away now, which means it's time to start sorting out what to get your loved ones. However, it can often be hard to think of creative, out-of-the-box gifts that friends and family will truly enjoy.

One of the best resources for handmade, unique objects is Etsy—fortunately, they've just unveiled a Holiday Trend Edit that's packed with fresh gifting inspiration. Whether you're on the hunt for a meaningful gift for a spouse or a toy for your niece or nephew, there's something here for everyone.

Nonna Holiday

Nonna cooking and aesthetics have been all the rage for a while now. As a result, people have cooked up saucy pastas and other comfort foods, reconnected with nature, and spent more quality time with loved ones.

Etsy predicts a similar trend will emerge in gifting, with pieces like crocheted doilies and embroidered linens experiencing a resurgence. Think red accents and decorative lampshades too—Etsy has noticed a surge of interest toward the latter.

Supper Clubs

We've been saying that dinner clubs are making a comeback. If you know someone who wants to start their own, then consider gifts like statement serveware and timeless silver cutlery. Searches for glassware sets are 12 times higher this year on Etsy, indicating a marked interest in curating the perfect tablescape.

Play Haus

You've perhaps heard of dopamine décor; Etsy's play haus aesthetic takes the color-drenched trend into the world of gifting. Think cartoonish vessels and vases, accessories that evoke nostalgia, and a maximalist palette that prioritizes pastels and other bright hues. Items with playful prints are a great idea, too.

Nutcrackercore

Yes, there's another core aesthetic! Joining the ranks of barbiecore and many others before it, nutcrackercore embodies the timeless favorites of the holidays. Ruby tableware, emerald scarves and accessories, and other jewel-toned bits and bobs are the perfect embodiment of this trend. Even a nutcracker itself!

Gothmas

Moody aesthetics aren't just for Halloween—Gothmas brings the spooky vibe to winter holidays too. Etsy defines the trend as incorporating black lace, dark candles, and a dark yet romantic color palette. Antique décor rounds out the look, so there's plenty of stocking stuffer options to be mined.

Shiver the Season

The nautical look is everywhere—and Etsy's putting a frost-covered twist on it with this trend. Metallic accents and frosted finishes will be prevalent, with one standout item, according to the brand: mystery jewelry jars. Shoppers have been flocking to these as of late, as they're filled with surprising finds—like a modern-day treasure chest.
