Gender Neutral Gift Ideas for Adults

Have you ever been invited to a gift exchange party or white elephant gift exchange where you aren’t entirely sure who your gift recipient may be? I have, and it’s a bit stressful to find gender-neutral gift ideas that feel like a great gift idea people would actually want or use!

I’ve taken note of the great unisex gift ideas given as a secret Santa present, at a white elephant exchange, and at a Christmas party with couple gifts. The good news is there are a lot of great gender-neutral Christmas gift ideas for adults perfect to gift family members, coworkers, your best friend, gender binary friends, coworkers, and random partygoers! We have a roundup of the best unisex Christmas gift ideas (and actually unisex gift ideas that work all year) to help you give some thoughtful gifts this year!

Practical Gifts That Are Gender-Neutral Christmas Gift Ideas

  1. Stanley Tumbler.

    I have a whole post about the Stanley Tumbler with Handle, and let me tell you it’s been a great thing to use in my everyday life! They come in a ton of different colors and sizes. And the best part is even if the recipient owns one, it’s one of those things that’s a great idea to own two of! I haven’t met a person yet who hasn’t really liked their Stanley tumbler
    It’s truly the perfect gift for everyone!

  2. Gift Card.

    I mean this isn’t in the unique gifts category, but it is in the most useful! A gift card is a great way to let someone choose what they’d like. And bonus points, it’s one of the easiest last-minute gifts you can purchase almost anywhere!
  3. Turkish Cotton towels.

    If you know, you know. These thin, quality towels are fantastic gender-neutral Christmas gifts because they are so darn useful! These are the kinds of gifts people will get so much use out of!
  4. Essential oil diffusers

    Diffuse some favorite scents without the toxins. You don’t have to be majorly into essential oils to love these! They work great to help spread some Christmas scents, or to use with some breath oils when you’re feeling sick.
  5. Essential Oils

    If you’re gifting an essential oil diffuser, don’t forget some essential oils! But if you’re not, a few common oils like lemon for scent or to use with a vinegar fruit bath, or lavender for a relaxing bath sure make a great gift!
    If you want to go big, this is almost identical to the set I purchased when pregnant and it’s been a great inexpensive set we’ve used quite a bit!
  6. LED Light

    You can always find a great spot to add a little light, and these LED lights are so fun!
  7. Headlamp.

    These are not only great for emergency situations but whenever someone needs to do projects or crafts around the house. Grab one with adjustable straps and help them do the hard work with a little more light!
  8. Modern Day Calendar

    These look fantastic on a desk or in someone’s home! It’s a beautiful classic gift.
  9. Lip Balms

    I love these lip balm sets. It’s so practical and useful for anyone with lips!
  10. Picture Frame

    These are always useful and an easy win for a present!

    I bought this set of these to go with a planner and to keep around the house. Little did I know my small children, husband, family, and friends would all love to use them too. Grab a variety of colors, and let this practical gift go to good use!
  13. A Winter Hat/Beanie.

    This is one of the best unisex gifts during the holiday season because it’s something they’ll use and love! They work well with long hair, short hair, or no hair and are an inexpensive gift people really use. They come in various colors, but I’d stick to a neutral tone just to make sure the recipient gets more use out of it.
  14. Vans Slip On Sneakers.

    This is a great gift that kids and adults alike just love! Hello, comfy sneakers that look great with anything!
