I’m going to buy a new thesaurus and dictionary with a Christmas gift card. Any recommendations? I’d really like to hear from those of you who have tried multiple publishers/editions and have settled on a favorite.

One of the words you're looking for might be _Word Finder_. If it's still available. It gives you words that might go with one you already have, as in, you look up "fruit" and it gives you luscious, ripe, delicious, mellow, rotten, etc.
