It’s holiday time! And around here, that means our editors have been burning the midnight oil to bring you our 6th annual Holiday Gift Guide featuring more than 150 (!) truly inspired gifts for all the special people in your lives–plenty from the small shops and indie businesses that we love to support this time of year. 

The best holiday gift guide from Cool Mom Picks

{Don’t miss the amazing $1800 giveaway after the jump!}


You’ll find everything from the sweetest baby’s first Christmas gifts to beautiful Hanukkah keepsakes, as well as the coolest presents for hard-to-shop-for dads, grandparents, nieces and nephews, movie buffs, foodies, fans of a certain (ahemcough) popular book that they won’t admit to reading…and even for you. We couldn’t leave you out!

There really is something for every budget, from practically free DIY gifts to gifts under $10 to some big time splurges to drool over.

And as always, discount codes. Lots of them. 
Because we know you love saving money as much as we do, we’re so excited to be partnering with our sponsor Citi Price Rewind to bring you our guide. This is a seriously wonderful service: Just use your Citi card and register your purchase, and they will actually give you money back if the price drops more than $25 somewhere else. Free money? That’s a pretty sweet gift on its own. 
Holiday Gift Guide Giveaway!
And of course our guide wouldn’t be complete without a our gift to you: a big $900 giveaway package of pure awesomeness. Even better, you’ll have the chance to win TWO so you can give one away yourself. All the details are right on our guide

Happy shopping! -Kristen, Liz, + Team Cool Mom Picks
