With December here, the shopping season has truly arrived. Whether you're buying gifts or just looking to splurge on fun things for yourself, it can be tough to know where to start. These are some of the products our readers loved last December, offering you some great inspiration.
In this article: Le Creuset Stoneware Mug, Ooni Karu 12 Multi-Fuel Outdoor Pizza Oven and Bose QuietComfort 45 Bluetooth Wireless Noise Canceling Headphones
You might be wondering what types of products are popular in December. These are just a handful of them.
With holidays such as Christmas and Hanukkah falling in December, many people find themselves buying gifts. It might seem obvious, but people's interests are a great place to start when selecting gifts. If you're buying for a music-lover, for instance, they might appreciate high-end headphones, a vinyl record or even a musical instrument.
Many online retailers offer an extended return window around the holidays, which is great news when a gift didn't go down as well as expected.
While selecting products that other readers loved isn't a surefire way to know you'll like them or that they'll be well-received as gifts, it's a good place to start. At the very least, you know these are quality products other people enjoyed.
Unless it's something time-sensitive, like a 2022 calendar, there's no reason to avoid products that were popular last December. They'll still be just as good as they were last year.
If you're a fan of coffee, tea or high-end kitchenware, this mug is an excellent choice. It comes in a wide array of colors, as you'd expect from Le Creuset, including Marseille blue, palm green, cerise and deep teal.
