It's that time of year: gift-giving season has arrived, and with it we are growing our wish lists. Gift guides are a fantastic way to get inspiration for our friends, colleagues, and loved ones (yes, this even includes the ones who seemingly already have everything).
In addition to hosting her eponymous show, Drew Barrymore serves as Etsy's chief gifting officer – and she just revealed her guide to the best homemade and one-of-a-kind gifts.
'Gift giving is one of my love languages, and that’s why I adore Etsy for the festive season – every gift tells a story and feels like it was made just for that special person,' the actress says. Whether you’re shopping for kids, your friends, or even your fur babies, my Etsy gift guide is all about celebrating the people (and pets!) we cherish most.'
'I know that I'm getting too excited, but I already started my holiday gift prep early this year,' Barrymore adds in a video posted to her Instagram page. 'Because I'm Etsy's chief gifting officer, this is really my moment – I've gotta shine. When I go to Etsy for gifts, I like to add a little magic to the holiday.'
Barrymore has broken her gift selections down into categories, for recipients such as the mom, the host, and the friend, making it easy to browse with a specific person in mind. There is something for every person on your list, whether they're a seasoned homeowner, hoster, or are renting their first place.
The range features tons of home accessories, from blankets and art prints to ornaments and candles. We rounded up six of our favorite picks, which you can shop below – or browse the entire collection here. We promise it'll solve your gifting woes.

The holiday season calls for blankets, and we love this soft green, herringbone-printed one, that is just as soft (made of 100% merino wool) as it is beautiful strewn across a sofa or bed.
These made-to-order salad tongs are a kitchen essential, with each tong being carved from a single piece of wood. They add a natural, rustic element to any space.
We love these squiggly cocktail napkins, which can easily be personalized for a thoughtful gift. Just add the initial of your loved one for a thoughtful effect instantly.
A dose of essential Vitamin C this winter appears in the form of this hand-painted ornament. It looks beautiful in the kitchen, but we'd by lying if we said this fruit motif didn't have a place in every room of the home.
The holidays are prime time for lighting candles, and this 'olive oil' scent is a beautiful blend of bergamot, lemon, and vanilla that is reminiscent of the Mediterranean – no matter where you are in the world.
No green thumb? No problem. These handwoven flowers are made of natural straw, adding texture and visual interest to any vase. They're exactly what you need to get that friend who keeps killing their indoor plants (trust us, we are too).
Drew Barrymore's power never ceases to amaze us – she's solved our gifting troubles before they even began. Happy shopping one and all.
