20 Thoughtful and Heartwarming Gifts to Get Your Loved Ones Just Because

Finding special holiday gifts for our loved ones is so much fun, but it's hard to argue that there isn't something super special about an "out of the blue" presents — you know, one that isn't for any specific reason or calendar date. Thoughtful presents that you gift or receive just because are a whole new level of sweetness, and we know there's someone in your life to whom it would mean the world.

All that said, we're petitioning to make just-because gifts a thing this holiday season and beyond. Why not, right? Not only are they extra thoughtful, but they can also be sweet pick-me-ups on difficult days. Ahead, we've rounded up 20 thoughtful and heartwarming gift ideas, including edible presents, (hi, Milk Bar) "homesick" candles that'll make them feel closer to home, customizable location coordinate wall art, and so much more.

Know someone who's missing their native state? A Homesick Candles ($39) will make them feel closer to their favorite places and people. There's one for every single state, with fragrance notes inspired by the location.
