Heyo: Dig into all of our MoMA Design Store gifting picks.

Healthcare practitioners who I see regularly but don't know on a personal level

My new colleagues who I want to love me. Something cheap, cute, and maybe useful.

I have to buy gifts for approximately eight thousand kids. Is there anything that I could buy that all of them would like? They are various ages between 0-10 years old.

Dating for 3 mo by the time xmas is here. Wants to ride tandem bike. Dairy & nut free.

My husband who loves fancy Japanese mugs, Swedish menswear, and guitar pedals

90 year old Grandma who lives in Scottsdale. She loves golf, crafting, playing cards, shopping, and hot weather. She has a condo full of tons of stuff - she collects trinkets and has multiple collections of China, glassware, etc. so I avoid giving her something that's just an item that will sit on a shelf. She is sometimes lonely and really likes activities but is easily intimidated by things that seem too hard. I gave her a 500 piece puzzle last year and at first she thought she could never do it but she ended up finishing it and got it framed. She's the absolute cutest but also very set in her ways. I like to give her something that can be consumed or created so I don't add to clutter but she is very thrifty as a depression era woman and will savor things forever. Sometimes things like lotions or candles never end up getting used. She also loves jewlery and clothing. She walks to church every day in a sensible heel.

65+ crowd that have everything! Bring in the MOMA recs!

My brother and his stylist boyfriend who has intimidatingly good taste

FIL loves smoking meats, nice wine, and mansplaining the weather.

Dad who loves gadgets and has a home theatre with a projector

MIL likes soft things, needs for nothing

My mother who likes luxe things but doesn't like it when we overspend.

My veteran sister who only wears zip off pants & carves wood in her free time.

13-year old girl who's very creative and into music
