I take a certain kind of satisfaction in “stocking up.” We get flour in bulk for baking bread; have a recurring order for toilet paper; and dog supplies arrive by the boatload. Buying multiples—or slowly accumulating them!—is a prime holiday gifting strategy, too. Good chocolate, fancy pens, scented soaps, tiny bottles of bitters, and the like make for a crowd-pleasing grab bag you can dip into all season. What do Domino editors go for in a pinch? Whether you’re in need of a last-minute stocking stuffer or something to bring along to an upcoming cocktail party, these are our tried-and-true bulk gifts.

Scented Candles

An impulse buy I don’t resist: scented candles in chic containers. Especially in a votive size, they’re the perfect grab-and-go gift when you’re headed out the door to a last-minute dinner or birthday drinks and don’t want to arrive empty-handed. I have a good five or six in my basement right now waiting for their turn. —Lindsey Mather, digital director

Wrapping rec: Tie on a bright gift tag and you’re done.

Design-y Wall Calendars

I’ve loved marking up my extra-large Studio Tigress wall calendar so much throughout the year that I dedicated an entire story to the new 2025 designs. I like that you can get super-personal, picking the best format for your loved one’s planning style. —Lydia Geisel, home editor

Wrapping rec: They typically come in cardboard tubes, so a funky geometric wrapping paper is your best bet.

I like to buy mismatched silver teaspoons—it’s supercute to tie a few together with a little ribbon and then place them on the top of a larger wrapped gift. —Brit Ashcraft, design director

Wine

A group of five friends and I have a very informal wine club that has been going strong for the last two years. Once a month, we set a theme, pick a bottle per person, and get together, either at someone’s home or at Wu’s Wonton King in Manhattan (our regular table is in the back, near the kitchen door). The ritual lends itself to bulk gifting; I can simply treat them to the next bottle I want to try together. —Samantha Weiss-Hills, managing editor

Wrapping rec: A stripy bow at the neck (no need for a bag!).
