2024 gift guide
It’s that time of year again! Finally the holiday season and time for Manor Of’s annual Gift Guide. No idea what to get for the most important people in your life? Don’t worry we have plenty of ideas that are sure to impress even the most difficult people to shop for. We're not talking about another generic collection of last-minute panic purchases. We spent hours in an online shopping rabbit hole meticulously searching for the most perfect gifts for almost every person in your life. Whether you're shopping for that friend who seems to own everything, the family member who gives you major pushback every holiday, or the colleague who's perpetually hard to read—we've got you covered. From the low-key cool to the unexpectedly impressive, our guide is your secret weapon against gift-giving anxiety.
FOR M0M
Moms deserve more this holiday season than gifts that are just handy or good for the household. They need to be pampered and appreciated. Let’s not forget who played Santa and did the shopping for presents all those years when we were growing up. It’s time for us to reciprocate and give them the gift of relaxation and a stress-free holiday this year (as well as a few tangible items, of course).
FOR DAd
There is no one harder to shop for than dads. Seriously, what do you even buy these picky men? These masters of self-gifting have an uncanny ability to buy themselves the exact thing you were planning to surprise them with—and always the deluxe model. Just when you think you've cracked the code with the perfect gift, Dad's already unboxed his upgraded version, leaving you with a receipt and crushed holiday spirit. We came up with so many gifts every dad is sure to love that we are hoping to eliminate the possibility of gift overlap entirely this year.

for sister
Some may mistakenly think sisters would be the easiest people to shop for. Well, take it from us—that could not be further from the truth. Sisters are some of the pickiest people in the world. One wrong move, and you will be hearing about how much you botched your pick for the next year. We can’t tell you the number of times we have found old gifts of ours collecting dust in the back of our closets or listed for resale on Depop. Thankfully we did all the research this year so you can avoid these passive-aggressive standoffs, see all the presents that are sure to scream “I know you better than you know yourself” listed below.

for brother
If we have to hear our brother mumble an unenthusiastic “Cool, thanks sis” one more time we are going to lose it. Please tell us how we are supposed to buy them something they like when all they tell us when we ask what they want is, “I don’t need anything". To avoid losing any more cool points this year we have come up with presents that are just weird and niche enough that there is no way they can feign disinterest during the unboxing.

for girlfriend
Now we know that girlfriends do not make the gift-buying process easy. We refuse to tell you what we want because we secretly hope you will know to get us the perfect thing we have been trying to telepathically tell you for months. You are supposed to know us better than we know ourselves, so come on, prove it. But fine… I guess we will help you out a little, see all our picks to have her squealing with delight.
for boyfriend
Trying to decide what to get your boyfriend this holiday season is harder than the New York Times Sunday crossword. Why do they make it so difficult on us, gift giving is supposed to be their biggest trial in the relationship, not ours! Your carefully selected gift is competing with their ever-expanding collection of random gadgets, sports memorabilia, or whatever passion project of the moment has captured their attention, and how is that fair? Not to worry, we conducted polls, did the research, and compiled a list of all the items the men in our lives are secretly hoping for this season.
for friend
We love our friends but, wow, there are no people we stress over more during the holidays. Shopping for friends is simultaneously trying to be hilarious, heartfelt, and avoid total social disaster. No one wants to end up in the regifting zone or find their present displayed in the nearest resell shop. Let us help you impress every type of friend with our people-pleasing gift list below (not to mention things you will be able to borrow and reap the benefits of as well).
for coworker
There are no people you spend more time with than your coworkers, and the last thing you want is to create an awkward work environment for the next year with a bad gift. It’s important to keep the people who hold your career in their hands very, very happy. See all the workplace-friendly presents below that will make anyone have your back during the next company-wide meeting.
