The 24 best gifts for aunts that any niece or nephew can give

Sometimes, the only thing that a parent wants is a listening ear. With an annual Storyworth subscription, they'll be prompted to think back to past moments that shaped them, reflect on the present and make predictions about the future. Their weekly writings and accompanying photos will be bound into a hardcover book when the year's up.

While you likely recognize the bestselling 40-ounce Stanley tumbler that comes with a handle (a personal favorite of mine!), did you know that Stanley also makes an adorable 14-ounce bottle? This petite tumbler is ideal for keeping by your bedside or on your desk, and it is a total steal for just $20. One of Stanley's larger tumblers earned a spot on our list of the best water bottles of 2024, but this pint-size version may prove to be a bit more practical. 

Her next at-home spa night is on you! Snag this pair of hydrating booties to make sure her feet are in tip-top shape ahead of sandal season. It just requires 10 minutes of idle time to work its moisturizing magic, which is the perfect excuse to catch up on the latest season of her favorite show.

Snail mucin — yep, the substance snails secrete when they move — is the answer to many skin care woes. This No. 1 bestseller, which one superfan dubbed "magic in a bottle," exfoliates and hydrates the skin, ultimately reducing texture and resulting in glowy, refreshed skin. Our Senior Beauty Editor, who was admittedly a bit of a skeptic, put it to the test and found that it lived up to the hype.

Now your aunt will be able to put her heart on the table — literally. She can stick this enameled nonstick wonder in an oven up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit or use it on the stovetop to make soups and stews. 

Green thumb or not, she'll get a kick out of these candles that mimic mini terrariums. Choose between the cactus, with notes of pine and vanilla, and the pink poppy, with notes of jasmine and white tea.

Bring some color to her table with this centerpiece-worthy pitcher. It features Ree Drummond's signature floral design, which she'll appreciate if she's a fan of the TV show host. 

Quality olive oil is a luxury that many people — your aunt included — can't justify. That's exactly what makes it such a thoughtful gift. With this set, she'll get to try Graza's bestselling EVOOs: one for cooking at high temps, and one exclusively for drizzling on top of pizza, dips and more.

Pop these cups in the freezer and they'll double as wine chillers. Just pour a glass of white and enjoy it at the perfect temperature (somewhere between 43 and 53 degrees Fahrenheit). 

At the end of the day, you know that your aunt appreciates a handwritten card more than anything else. This one, which pops out to become a basket of tulips, will be a welcome surprise. 

Let her paddle do the talking. The dog doodles are pawsitively adorable, but they actually symbolize something much bigger: A portion of the proceeds from each paddle sale goes to Austin Pets Alive!, an organization working to save precious pups and cats at risk of euthanasia. 

She can suction this acrylic bird feeder to any window to get in on the action. Tell her to stick it in a high-traffic area, like near her desk or breakfast nook. "We were worried they would be afraid of being so close to the house but that hasn't been the case at all," one Amazon reviewer wrote. "In fact, this is the only feeder the squirrels haven't figured out how to access yet!" 

It's simple: Bees make a garden grow. These colored cups look like flowers, ultimately tricking the tiny pollinators into stopping by and sipping on some water before continuing on with their journey.

She's sweeter than honey. That's why it's only fitting to give her this gift box, complete with 10 of Bonne Maman's beloved minis — nine fruit spreads and one honey.

Make her whole house smell like fresh laundry for up to 90 days — clean linens, to be exact. "In my opinion, diffusers can be hit or miss — either too strong and artificial or weak and smells like nothing. This one is right in the middle perfection," one Amazon reviewer wrote, adding that the addition of the preserved flowers is "lovely."

She can wear this cashmerelike knit as a sweater, shawl or scarf. Amazon reviewers gush that it's a travel must-have, especially since it's lightweight and packs well. "Unlike a shawl that slips around or falls off, there is a fastener so you can deal with your carry-on luggage without fear of having your wrap fall off," a five-star fan, who bought it to wear on "chilly" planes, wrote.

The next time she's cooking, she can turn to her windowsill herb garden to pick fresh rosemary, thyme, sage or whatever else she's growing. Herbs arrive planted in a reclaimed wood box — it's just up to her to make sure they get enough water, sunlight and care. 

If she's always cooking up a storm in the kitchen, then this wooden stand is a must. It's the perfect size for holding cookbooks, magazines and tablets — plus, it'll match her other farmhouse decor. 

Better than a family tree, this print will remind her that love is blooming all around her. Submit the birth months of up to 12 nieces and nephews, then customize the text with her name and the names of those she loves. Snag a digital print for $23 or get a printed version shipped to your door (or hers).

At the start of every season, she'll get a canvas tote packed with a fresh assortment of Beekman 1802 goodies — a mix of soaps, creams and other body products. The current fragrance, Glacial Dream and Eucalyptus is incredibly soothing, so she can calm her body and mind simultaneously. 

Because she'll never pass up some extra sparkle. These feminine studs will be her go-to for dressing up a casual outfit.

Sure, you could always put together a basket full of her favorite self-care goodies, but this gift basket will introduce her to some new products and it can be shipped straight to her door. Inside, she'll find a bar of soap, face mask, lip balm, eye mask and shower steamer — all in a pretty purple hue. 

This coordinated trio will dress up any drab space — namely, a bare mantel, shelf or console table. They're small (but mighty), which means the taller one is just the right size to hold a couple of flowers each.

She'll wear this beaded bracelet every chance she gets to let everyone know what (or really, who) matters most: her nieces and nephews. Although the elastic cord is rather stretchy, double-check the size guide to ensure it will comfortably fit her wrist.
