I’m not sure if you’ve heard, but Thanksgiving is nearly here. Yes, there’s a grand meal to be had, but let me tell you: That turkey and those side dishes pale in comparison to a good deal—especially when they just so happen to be the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday fashion deals in town. Of course, not all your shopping has to go toward designer picks—and if you’re browsing for loved ones with varied interests, we found the best gifts to give in 2023, thanks to Google’s Holiday 100 list, the tech company’s annual compilation of gift ideas based on data pulled from trending searches.

As you can likely infer from the name, the list is 100 products long—so long, in fact, that the company went ahead and sorted it into trending collections. Of course, even that can be overwhelming, so we went ahead and asked the tech company’s head of editorial and creative at Google Shopping, Aya Kanai, for her exclusive list of the top 10 must-have items worth giving this holiday season. See (and shop) them all below.
