Google’s Most-Popular Gift Predictions Are Usually Right—Shop 36 Coveted Presents We Totally Agree On

One of the hardest parts of shopping for someone else is trying to guess exactly what they want. Of course, you could just ask them, but that would ruin the element of surprise. Or you could just look at Google’s most popular gift predictions. It’s the ultimate cheat sheet for discovering the most-searched shopping queries that also happen to be incredibly giftable. After all, Google probably knows us better than we know ourselves, right?

The 2024 list of most popular gift predictions is divided into eight sections of gift ideas across multiple categories, from luxuriously chic finds for the fashionista to stress-reducing gadgets for those who don’t play about their self-care rituals.

Some of the items on the list overlap with ELLE-approved shopping finds—like the resurgence of Coach. The brand is so popular this year, four items from the label made the list: a handbag, a bag charm, sunglasses, and a watch. The roster also gives a snapshot into coveted beauty finds—like Diptyque candles and K-beauty brand Peach & Lily’s Glass Skin Brilliance Kit.

For a rundown of all of the ELLE-approved gifts that Google’s predicting will be popular crowd-pleasers, keep on scrolling.
