Now that we're officially settled into November, people who don't procrastinate (I'm jealous of you) and want to avoid the mild panic that comes with last-minute holiday shopping (a feeling I know too well) are probably already starting to cross names off of their gift list.

If you're one of these proactive holiday shoppers and have begun the gift hunt—or keep telling yourself this is the year you'll finally become one—you're in luck. Shopping for family members can feel daunting, especially if you're someone with a large family. So to help, we've rounded up 42 gifts that are bound to be a fit for at least a few of the family members on your list.


For the Sibling Who Loves to Bake

If you have that person in your life who's always showing up to family functions with a plate of freshly baked goods in hand, this is for them. Whether you want to splurge a little to surprise them with a stand mixer or treat them to some new pie weights, here are six gifts they'll be happy to unwrap.


For the Uncle Who Calls Himself a Grill Master

A grill press, tools made for after-dark grilling, and an apron that'll make him feel like he's on Top Chef anytime he's firing up the grill.


For the Parent With an Impressive Wine Collection

Anyone who loves wine is probably picky about the bottles they're buying, so surprise them with wine accessories instead. Whether they need a new wine rack, an electric corkscrew, or a new pair of decanters, these are six gifts they'll appreciate.
