There are so many things to love about the Christmas holiday: time with family, time off work, delicious family meals, and, of course, getting a gift or two.

It seems every year, there's one big trendy thing everyone hopes to get for Christmas. This got me thinking, what are the most popular gifts in North Dakota this year?

A study was done by Betway Insider, where they looked at search trends from September to December to see what North Dakotans are really hoping to see under their trees this year.

According to the source, the number one thing people really want to get is a new pair of Uggs. That's right, those slipper shoes are still a top trend. I actually have a pair I'm wearing today; they really are THAT comfy and cozy.

Whatever style you want, you're still going to shell out a good chunk of change to get them, since they range from $90 to $150.

The source also found that several other items are hot picks this year. Let's take a look.

  1. Uggs
  2. Oura Rings - don't ask me what these are or how they work. Are they like mood rings?
  3. Airpods
  4. Pickleball equipment
  5. Smart watch - Ehh, I don't know. I think they are a little overrated. Mine has been sitting on my nightstand for more than a year.
  6. Electric Blanket - 100% necessary in North Dakota.
  7. Digital photo frame
  8. Red light therapy device - healthy looking skin? Yes, please.
  9. Instant camera
  10. Sourdough starter kit - it looks like many of us want to get into baking in 2026.
  11. Bluetooth tracker
  12. Smart scales
  13. Smart mug
  14. Indoor garden kit
  15. Styling wand - for those of us who can use these without burning our hands and arms.

Is it just me, or does it seem like we're asking for a little bit too much this year? All of this stuff is pretty pricey. Anyway, those are the most popular gift picks in North Dakota for 2025. What's on your wish list this year? Send a message in the app, and I'll put in a good word with Santa!
