Your time to get your holiday shopping done is almost over. And if you’re wondering what gifts everyone has been asking for this year, you’re in luck. Google released its annual Google Shopping Holiday 100 list, which is filled with gift suggestions and insights into what people searched for this year.

To create the list, Google looks at US Google Trends data from June to September 2023 and pulls items and trends that saw all-time high search interest this year, were breakout or top-searched terms, were dramatically higher than pre-pandemic norms or were particularly noteworthy. The result is a compilation of 100 ultra-trendy products, ranging from the viral Stanley Quencher to the Lululemon belt bag to puzzle vases, which saw a 1,150% increase in search interest since last year.

To save you time, we're here to share our favorite picks and more importantly, even some that are on sale right now and might arrive before Christmas.
