Apple has shared its yearly Holiday Gift Guide promoting iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, AirPods, and more to shoppers looking to gift something special over the holidays, launching new holiday-themed “Special Edition” gift cards and Keynote templates for creating greeting cards at home, and more.
Apple’s new Holiday Gift Guide makes it “easier than ever to shop this season,” promoting services including engravings where customers can personalize iPad, AirTag, AirPods, and Apple Pencil with a mix of emoji, text, and numbers, free home delivery across all products, same-day two-hour delivery and next-day delivery in select countries, and personalized accessory recommendations.
“Our teams can’t wait to connect with customers to make this season special,” said Deirdre O’Brien, Apple’s senior vice president of Retail + People in a post to the Apple Newsroom on Tuesday. “Whether in stores or online, our Apple Specialists are ready to welcome customers, offer gift recommendations, and provide the support customers need throughout the holidays.”
In collaboration with global artists, Apple has launched a special at-home Today at Apple session that introduces downloadable Keynote templates to craft personalized holiday cards for friends and family. Using iPad or Mac, anyone can choose from festive shapes, colorful stickers, and backgrounds. They can customize their cards with photos, videos, and a message.

With a new banner on the Apple.com homepage and a message in the Apple Store app, Apple started to encourage customers last week to start their holiday shopping early.
Customers shopping for the holidays in the United States, the UK, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Germany, the Netherlands, plus a handful of other countries around Europe now have an extended returns window, allowing them extra time to return purchases made as gifts. Items purchased at the Apple Online Store that are received between November 1, 2021 and December 25, 2021, may be returned through January 8, 2022.
