The holiday season is upon us. Well, more than upon us: the world has been blasting Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" so much that it just hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time ever, and we're now just days away from all the major holidays that close out each year. Needless to say, if you're taking part in any of the imminent festivities and plan to exchange gifts, it's time to make some decisions so you aren't caught in the bustle mere hours before your celebratory gathering.

Whether they need a handbag, beauty products, or a new pair of shoes, Gucci has something for everyone on your list, promising to fulfill practical needs while allowing the recipient to express their individuality. Check out 15 standout items in the brand's current selection below, and get ready to send your friends and family into their most stylish decade yet.
