Stuck on What to Gift Someone? This Editor-Approved Staple Always Delivers
Sponsor Content Created With New Balance

It's only mid-October, but holiday gift-giving is already at the forefront of my mind. As much as I love it, I sometimes draw a blank on what to get for certain people. For example, what do I get for my best friend who has everything or my mom who insists that all she wants is a card? Thankfully, after scrolling through the New Balance website, I realized that this editor-loved brand has something for everyone. I'm picking up a pair of the brand's iconic sneakers for each person on my list, and I'm also grabbing a couple pairs for myself. (The new Fresh Foam X 1080 style is at the top of my wish list!) Keep scrolling to see the styles and colors that anyone would be happy to unwrap.
