| | | | | |  | | | The Gift Guide for...
Seemingly Miscellaneous People Sometimes the holidays dictate that you get a gift for someone you don't know much about. Like an office secret Santa or your doorperson or the cousin you only ever see at holidays.
But there's no guide for these kinds of people.
Well, not until now. So let us present The Gift Guide for… Seemingly Miscellaneous People.
Yeah, the name's a work in progress.  | | | NATIONAL
Bloomingdale's
The Person You Haven't
Been Dating for Very Long | | | | | |  | | The gift: an ice cream maker
Because: she loves ice cream and this is something personalized you can do together. And if it devolves into a romcom-worthy ice cream fight, so be it.

The Person You've Been Dating a Long Time | | | | | |  | | The gift: 3D Pancake Printer

La Colombe
The Father-in-Law | | | | | |  | | The gift: a Chemex coffee brewer.

Nordstrom
The Mother-in-Law | | | UD ENDORSED
$50 | | ORIGINAL PRICE
$100 | | SAVINGS
50% | |  | | | | |  | | The gift: a plaid cashmere scarf.
Because: a gift for a mother-in-law has to be practical and modest, but still show a bit of panache. In short, it has to be utterly milquetoast.
Sorry, scarf. But you're just the right level of inoffensive to pull it off.

Kusmi Tea
Office Secret Santa | | | | | |  | | The gift: a tea variety pack.
Because: frankly you don't know much about Linda in accounting and you probably have a dollar limit. And everyone likes tea. Especially Linda. Probably.

Nordstrom
Your Office Door-Person | | | | | |  | | The gift: a gold-colored-plated barware set.
Because: they're there when you get to work, and sometimes when you leave, too. You want to acknowledge that they actually have a life outside your lobby. And that they should enjoy it relaxing with a drink in hand.

Outdoor Voices
Your Overly-Political Uncle | | | | | |  | | The gift: a lightweight long-sleeve tee.
Because: surely this year has wreaked havoc on him and he might need a new hobby, or just a run to get his mind off things.

NEST Fragrances
The Host of the Holiday Party You'll Attend
for the Shortest Acceptable Time | | | | | |  | | The gift: pumpkin-spiced candle
Because: scent is one of memories biggest triggers. So, make sure you hand this to the host, have them open it and make them smell it. You can duck out 20 minutes later.
And when they light the candle for the first time, they'll remember how nice it was to see you.
Wink.

Nordstrom
The Cousin You Only See During the Holidays | | | | | |  | | The gift: a gold-colored watch.
Because: you can easily say, "I thought of you when I saw it. Looks like something you'd wear." Because it looks like something anyone would wear.

Happy Socks
Your Neighbor Who
"Still Remembers When You Were This Big" | | | | | |  | | The gift: socks.
Because: it doesn't matter if you're 22 or 60, this neighbor's main memory of you is when you were "this big." (A height that varies based on how much this neighbor has been drinking. Usually shorter the more they drink.)
The length of time you've known each other dictates that you get them something. So, fine, socks.
