20 Anthropologie gifts we're eyeing for the 2024 holidays

As commerce reporters, we’re thinking about the best gifts all year round, and Anthropologie is one of the first retailers on our list.

Post Wanted consulted Anthropologie, the American clothing retailer that also offers an assortment of decor, jewelry and gifts. For out-of-the-box, chic options, it’s one of your safest bets.

“All of Anthropologie could be a gift!” Nicole Jones, Anthropologie’s Divisional Merchandise Manager for Gifts and Entertaining of 15 years, told the New York Post. “When we’re deciding what to buy, we want to ensure each and every item evokes an emotional reaction — where you just have to have it or know someone that would be delighted with such a special and thoughtful surprise.”

Sure, you can pick up a candle (one of Anthropologie’s most-shopped items) and a trinket from any store, but this company is unique for its keen eye for crafting the perfect pieces.

“We always have a story to tell behind the product, whether it transports you to another place, inspires you with artisan craft, or connects you to new artists and designers.”

Specifically, at Anthropologie, candles are the nearly sold-out item everyone is searching for. “Our candles are always an easy go-to gift, in gorgeous vessels you won’t find anywhere else, and scents that you will come back for over and over again.”

Aside from the fan-favorite flickering scents, Anthropologie’s monogrammed mugs and throw blankets are a popular destination for gifts.

“At Anthropologie, our customers are always our top priority,” she said. “If you stop by your local store, you’ll find sales associates genuinely eager to help you find the perfect gift. We want to be a part of your story and help you create lasting memories for those special occasions.”

That said, we pulled Anthropologie’s best gift options below for you to shop. Whether you really want to pick up something original in a hurry or are on the hunt for an upcoming birthday gift, you can’t go wrong with any of these options.

“Inspired by French bistro tilework, this iconic monogram mug collection is a customer favorite,” she said. “It makes gifting easy and personalized.”

Drawing inspiration from the many sidewalk cafes that dot Parisian boulevards (much to our delight), these conversation starters are both the modern statement and irresistible gift for the hostess.

“One of our softest throws ever, this faux fur blanket has a dye technique finish and gorgeous manipulated texture giving it a fashion-forward feel,” she said. “Once you touch it, you won’t be able to resist buying one for everyone you know!”

The soft plush comes in gray, ivory, green, blue, purple and rose colors to choose from. For more options, check out our guide to the best throw blankets we reviewed.

We can never stop glossing over Anthropologie’s classic NYC prints each holiday season. The Anthropologie Holiday in the City Jigsaw Puzzle is sure to be a treat for anyone on your list — the 1,000-piece set that doubles as art when complete.

Belt bags and sling bags are undeniably a thing of the present, and we adore Anthropologie’s Liberty Sling Bag. Not only does it have an adorable chevron strap but its compact size is surprisingly spacious. It comes in a wealth of colors, too.

Not to mention, it’s one we were gifted by a loved one and can’t stop wearing.

Everyone can appreciate a new luxe-leaning pajama set, and Anthropologie has you covered. The By Anthropologie Flannel Boxer Pants are the coziest we’ve seen, complete with side-slant pockets and pull-on comfort that you’ll want to live in 24/7. For less than $75, they’re worth the grab.

If there’s anything that’s trending right now, it’s taper candles. Pick up the oh-so-glamorous Holiday Tree Borosilicate Glass Candle Holder — in either of its two colors — to add a statement and a festive touch to any space. Side note: we’re adding them to our carts.

Anthropologie’s candles are wildly popular (and we understand the hype, as we light ours atop our coffee table nearly every night). The Skeem Match Cloche is a fitting gift — with or without an Anthropologie candle — simply because it sits tall and pretty and is highly practical at the same time.

We can’t stop using our Icon Juice Glass from Anthropologie, a quality drinkware item that, for a limited time, is available in some festive renditions. This penguin-accented piece is one of our favorites for the wintertime and ready for you to pour your double shot of espresso into. Plus, it makes a lovely gift idea for less than $20!

You simply can’t go wrong with a pair of fuzzy slippers (because they’re comfy and undeniably on-trend) and the Maeve Fuzzy Platform Slippers are ones we can’t stop glossing over. They’re available in plenty of colors, too.

How absolutely beautiful is Pilcro’s The Alani Cashmere Mock-Neck Sweater? It makes a wonderful splurge-worthy gift under $200, much ado to its slouchy sleeves, ultra-cozy fit (aka, the perfect sweater) and gorgeous colorways. Our tip: pick it up before it sells out.

In the chillier months, we all love a good beanie. The By Anthropologie The Juniper Cozy Beanie is the cozy essential that makes an iconic statement (for less than $40, may we add). It pairs well with your best coat and scarf, and is an accessory that will surely be appreciated.

Enter one of Anthropologie’s best-selling items (which we also wrote about): the Primrose Mirror. The retailer has a Gleaming Primrose Vanity Tray that’s more affordable and makes an excellent gift, whether it’s to house perfumes or to adorn your bed with a candle and decor pieces.

Wine glasses are a staple in anyone’s cabinet for entertaining, and that’s why the Morgan Wine Glasses are a four-pack worth adding to your shopping cart. Whether it’s to spruce up your collection or to gift it to someone you hold dear, it’s wonderfully priced at less than $60.

Not to mention, Anthropologie’s glassware is some of the best we rounded up in our expert-backed guide to the best drinking glasses.

“A companion to our taper candles, this beautiful candle holder collection features sculptural glass forms in an array of stunning colors,” she said. Plus, they’re perfect for the host or hostess.

Whether you gift it to your mom or aunt, rest assured that this stunning cold decor piece will match any home aesthetic.

If you don’t want to invest in a full-throttle bedroom set, pick up the Zagora Tasseled Nightstand. It’s the ideal balance of “neutral” and “statement” and we love its architected curvature, most of all.

“Taking inspiration from antique finds, this terracotta vase is finished with a beautiful reactive glaze handmade in Portugal and adds a crafted touch to your favorite stems,” Jones said.

This vase comes in an assortment of sizes from extra-small to large, depending on your budget and preference.

“Everyone will be in a celebratory mood when you serve up cocktails in these elegant coupes made by hand in the Czech Republic — the perfect gift for those who love to host,” she said.

To match, shop these wine glasses ($64), stemless wine glasses ($56), and flutes ($64) to pair with the coupes — all in a set of four.

“Our Apothecary candle collection comes in an artisan glass vessel with sophisticated woodsy and spice notes that will put you in the mood for the season,” Jones notes.

Not to mention, this candle has notes of inviting florals, creamy vanilla bean and warm heliotrope with sandalwood. A dream.

We can’t believe how glamorous this Anthropologie Wooden Sudoko Game Set (and, why wouldn’t it be?) The aesthetic of the retailer finally mingled with the classic board game for a collector’s edition you don’t want to skip out on this year.

We’ve truly never seen a more stunning pitcher. Shop the Bombay Pitcher, a stunning and handcrafted option that also doubles as home decor when not in use. More, it’s one your guests will love, and one that makes an equally great hostess gift.
