No store is as synonymous with the holidays as Macy’s. The New York City-based department store has locations around the country, but it lives rent-free inside our collective minds thanks to long-held traditions like the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, where Santa closes out the parade and ushers in the official Christmas season and the timeless film Miracle on 34th Street.
But whether you live close to a Macy’s store or not, the online shop should be at the top of your list this year. With an assortment of incredible sales between now and Christmas — and even beyond — it’s the perfect place to find something for everyone. To help you out, we’ve rounded up some of the best gifts you can buy right now at Macy’s, from popular tech products like Apple AirPods to some offbeat finds perfect to sneak into your loved one’s stocking.
Whatever you’re looking for, don’t forget to add something to your basket to treat yourself.
