If you're still looking for Christmas gift inspiration, you've come to the right place. Research company HomeSnacks analyzed Google Shopping and Google Trends data to populate a map that highlights the most sought-after holiday gift in each state.

Although certain selections are unsurprising—everybody loves tablets and smartphones, of course—other ideas are pretty out there. People in Connecticut, for example, really want patio heaters while folks in Arkansas and Tennessee are looking for air fryers. Perhaps most interestingly, New Yorkers and Vermonters are opting for clothes, specifically asking for North Face boots. It's about to get frigidly cold out, after all. 

Overall, inland states tend to be more traditional than coastal ones, asking for toys over tech. If buying a present for someone in Mississippi or South Carolina, opt for a Barbie. If your loved ones happen to be in Kentucky, on the other hand, you might want to indulge their love for all things Harry Potter and buy some mystery wands. Yes, that's really what they're asking for.

Above, we reproduce the company's map and, below, find a state-by-state breakdown. Feeling inspired yet?
