There’s always someone on the holiday shopping list who’s nearly impossible to buy for. They don’t need another sweater, their kitchen cabinets are already overflowing and asking what they want usually gets you nowhere.
For those hard-to-shop-for family members, a gift that taps into their curiosity may be a better place to start, and anyone who has ever scrolled TikTok for too long or gone down a family-history rabbit hole knows that curiosity can be highly contagious. Dedicated platforms like Ancestry are tapping into this exploration of the past, using genealogy and DNA testing to help families discover where relatives came from, how different branches of the family connect and what stories may have gotten lost along the way.

This kind of research can take a few different forms, from DNA testing to piecing together a family tree. As the most recognizable name in this space, Ancestry covers both options—and has them on holiday sale for a limited time. Now through the morning of Nov. 19, AncestryDNA is marked 65% off and Ancestry Gift Memberships are 30% off (terms apply).
That puts a different kind of present on the table for parents, grandparents, siblings or other relatives who might be genuinely interested in learning more about their roots. So instead of giving them something else to unwrap and eventually tuck away, these Ancestry holiday deals offer the chance to learn a little more about where they came from.
