The Most-Searched Holiday Gifts and How Much They Cost

Google has released its predictions of what people will be shopping for this holiday season.

The search giant came up with the Google Shopping 100 by sourcing several months’ worth of its search data to identify products that are becoming more popular. It then extrapolated the data to make predictions about what people will be gifting each other (or themselves) this holiday season.

Some items fall into the annually predictable hot items, such as video game consoles and wearables. Others are perhaps signs of the times, with items to help us stay even warmer outside, entertained inside and not get fried from all the screen time.

Google grouped its lists into the categories of tech, kitchen gear, toys and games, gaming, sports and fitness, home goods and health and beauty. Here are the top three trending items in each if you’re looking to get a popular gift for someone.

1. ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3080 Graphics Card, $1,186-$1,365: For gamers looking to boost their visual displays
