Time is such a precious gift because it’s a commodity you just can’t buy – or so you think! Some people just seem to have more hours in the day — they always manage to stay on top of everything from work to parenting to relationships and beyond. And then there are others who are constantly running around trying to get more done, falling behind in life and struggling to balance everything. Most of the time we find ourselves in the latter, and if you happen to know someone who fits into this category, one of the most thoughtful gifts you could possibly give is something to help them better manage their busy schedule. That’s where we come in.
With the holiday season in full swing, we’ve already started shopping for all the different personalities in our lives – including practical gifts for busy people on the go. We all have a few workaholics or busy professionals in our circle of friends who seem like they just live at a faster pace than the rest of us. But like everyone, they also need some help to stay organized — and quite frankly, just find more time to unwind. With that in mind, we’ve found several holiday treats that are sure to “buy” the recipient some extra time in the New Year – and make the best gift for someone who works a lot.
From reusable notebooks and hot air fryers loved by POPSUGAR editors to portable steamers, cult-favorite skincare tools and more, this list of time-saving gifts ranges from budget-conscious to lavish. Browse our selection for the best gifts on the go!
