Gift-giving presents a conundrum. Is it better to give something useful, such as a 112-bit screwdriver set, or something whimsical, such as a cat-sized iron throne?

There is no right answer. That's why our 2022 Holiday Gift Guide, curated by Post reporters and editors, includes suggestions at both ends of the practicality spectrum.

With a wide range of gift ideas in nine categories — we've even included some that are functional and fun — this guide will make the process just a little bit easier.

Give the gift of well-being: These picks are all about helping your loved ones live a happier, healthier life.
