Millennials are the worst to shop for, amirite? The demographic, whose ages span 43 to 28 this year, are notoriously scattered when it comes to their interests. So finding the perfect gifts for them can be daunting because 1) they’re rarely satisfied and 2) when they want something, they immediately go out and buy it themselves. I know this because I am a millennial. That leaves everyone else in a rut, whether the millennial they're shopping for is a dad, their sister or that friend cresting into their 30s. When I shop for my sisters and brother (all of whom are millennials, too) I’ve learned to always consider a virtual gift—they make some of the best last-minute presents, like the Meta Quest 3 VR Headset ($500). Fear not: I prowled the internet, TikTok and asked PureWow editors, who have culled this list featuring 66 of the best gifts for millennials—sisters, brothers, friends, grandkids, cousins and pleasantly quirky neighbors included.
From the serious chef who can whip up everything in Matty Matheson’s (yes, chef!) cookbook ($35) to the beauty guru who’s had The Skin Renewal System ($195) by Augustinus Bader on their wishlist for forever, I’ve got you covered. I even added my favorite mixed metal ring ($129) from Etsy that looks so similar to Spinelli Kilcollin, and a Slouchy Sling Bag from lululemon that’s dethroning the beloved belt bag ($68).
