Winter is the season of holiday celebrations, parties, and weddings, and it’s the time to get together, be merry, and give gifts.

Each year, we ask the question: What gifts should we give?

Since we can all use a little holiday gift giving inspiration, whether you’re buying for your spouse, parents, siblings, grandparents, or friends, we gathered some of the most popular holiday gifts for the 2016/17 season:

1. Perfumes

For him or her, fragrance is an elegant and timeless gift.

A couple of ideas for her: Coco Chanel Mademoiselle Perfume, the best selling women’s perfume of 2016, featuring the notes of jasmine, rose, bergamot, orange and vanilla; or Flower Bomb by Victor & Rolf, a magical combination of sambac jasmine, centifolia rose, cattleya orchid, and ballerina freesia blooming on a base of patchouli.

For him, the most popular holiday inspired cologne: Spicebomb by Victor & Rolf. This very masculine scent offers a refreshing note, perfect for any day of the year.

2. Tech Gifts

Since we live in a technological era, with new trends surfacing all the time, we wanted to bring you some of the best selling and most popular gadgets and tech gifts for this season.

New Fitbit Alta Fitness Tracker

Fitness and tracking the progress is becoming a bigger and bigger part of today’s lifestyle. With the latest Fitbit Tracker, he or she can track workouts, heart rate, distance, calories burned, floors climbed, active minutes and steps, and even monitor how long and how well they sleep. Also, there’s a feature that allows receiving texts and calls at a glance when on the move.

The New Apple iPhone 7

Well, even though the iPhone 6 came out only a year ago, the new iPhone 7 is rather awesome, with the much better battery life and much more.

Beats Solo2 Wireless On-Ear Headphones

For the music lover on the go, this wireless, comfortable, trendy device offers improved acoustics, a wider range of sound, and enhanced clarity. They come in black, white, space grey, red, blue and gold, and feature a wireless range of 30' and 12-hour rechargeable battery.

New Polaroid ‘Impossible Project’ Instant Camera

This retro camera is really cool, it’s vintage looking (making it trendy) and you can hook it up to your iPhone, too.

iRobot Roomba 980 Vacuum Cleaning Robot

Although vacuums are generally not the cool things to give as gifts, this is not your ordinary vacuum cleaner – it is the vacuum of the future. It’s a wireless robot cleaning vacuum that not only vacuums up almost anything, but it can also be programmed to do the cleaning while you’re away and will automatically recharge itself when it’s done.

Or, if you are not able to, or don’t wish to give any of those gifts, you can always turn to flowers - the perfect choice to add elegance to any special occasion and indoor celebration!

Flowers are an absolutely great gift idea because they are beautiful, meaningful and from the heart.

Holiday season is packed with occasions that can benefit from a lovely floral boost.

Wonderful gifts for Christmas and other holiday celebrations this winter can include flowers of festive red hues, serene whites, and accents of green.

Capture the beauty of winter with vibrant whites and deep, rich reds – go for stunning bouquets of Gerberas, red and white Roses, Amaryllis, Gardenia, Orchids, Oriental Lily, Star of Bethlehem, and Poinsettias. Also, for a magnificent touch of season’s beauty and invigorating scents, add some seasonal berries, holly, pinecones, bark, and evergreens.
