Everyone has been advised to start their holiday shopping early this year, since shipping snafus and delays are (unfortunately) becoming a lot more common. To give us some early gifting inspo, celebs have started rolling out their holiday guides (Joanna Gaines' picks are just as chic as you'd expect and Giada De Laurentiis has some fun holiday finds for under $100!). And now, one of our favorite celebrity chefs, Rachael Ray, has created a gift guide that was published in the December issue of Rachael Ray in Season—and the picks are so good that we may need to steal a few of her ideas for ourselves!

Ray says in the issue, "I holiday shop all year long. I keep a list of recipients, with ideas and sizes and their children's sizes. I'm not suggesting everyone do that. But I'm a buyer by trade—I did it as my job for years—and I love to surprise and delight the people I care about. It doesn't have to cost a lot. It just has to mean a lot!"

We couldn't agree more. Here are our 10 favorite picks from Rachael Ray's holiday gift guide. 

1. Runamok Cocktail Gift Set

This gift set is perfect for the classic cocktail lover in your life. The set includes an 8.45-ounce maple cocktail syrup that's infused with orange essence and botanicals; a 3.4-ounce bottle of bitters flavored with juniper berries, angelica root and dried citrus; and an 8.45-ounce smoked maple syrup old fashioned cocktail syrup made with cherry juice, spices and pecan wood-smoked maple syrup. Pair it with a nice bottle of bourbon, and your recipient will feel like they made Santa's "nice" list.
