Gift Guides for Everyone on Your List

First, a little bit about posting gift guides...I’ve never loved selling or being in a sales role. So every time I post a gift guide, I feel a little trepidation and somewhat “salesy.” But sales are a part of being a creator, and I genuinely love creating.

So if you’re here for gift ideas….or maybe for the stick stars, simple crafts, home decor, or recipes…thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for following me, allowing me to do what I love doing, and making it my full-time job.

I hope you have a fantastic holiday with family and friends…and know I appreciate you!

Let’s start with gifts under $50 and even under $20. We all need ideas for gifts in this price range.

Gifts Under $20

Tree Unscented Taper Candles, set of 2 // Alphabet Key Ring Sezane // Faceted Gemstone Drop Earrings // Flat Pouch Sezane // Black Rose & Oud Hand Cream Salt & Stone // Harry Potter Snitch Hot Chocolate Bomb // Anthropologie Tile Initial Mug // Voluspa Crushed Candy Cane Candle // Red Trouser Socks // Salt Cellar with Lid // Pink Votive Holder // Mini Tree Woody Fresh Balsam & Cedarwood Candle // Butter Ornament // Martini Socks

Red trouser socks are a hit for both men and women! I’ve seen people wearing them with loafers and sneakers all over New York City.

Sézane has fun small gifts like these flat pouches in different patterns and colors.

For Harry Potter fans of any age, Harry Potter Snitch Hot Chocolate Bombs are a fun little gift and a great stocking stuffer!

Gifts Under $50

Reserve Nouveau Crystal Coupes // Rouge a Levres Voile Sherry Lipstick Gucci // GAP Chucky Red Scarf // Apotheke X. J.Crew Candle // Clear Glass Pot // Revive Nylon Belt Bag // L’Occitane (Set of 3) // Quince Stainless Steel French Press // Quince Luna Sunglasses // Sézane Gaston Scarf // Fairfax Small Vase // Cayman Seagrass Glasses

Don’t have anything festive to wear for the holidays? Wear this chunky knit red scarf from GAP!

You can use this clear glass pot on the stovetop for anything, but some apple cider warming on the stove at the holidays never looked more inviting! Or, make stove-top potpourri in a clear glass pot! It looks beautiful and smells heavenly.

This is a set of three L’Occitane hand creams! Give one to everyone in your stocking, or keep them for yourself! One for your car, one for the bathroom, and one for your desk! I love the packaging, but it is also very nourishing on your hands!

The Fairfax Vase, the smallest size from Serena & Lily, is perfect for two bunches of Trader Joe’s flowers with some filler from your backyard. Right now, I might mix a few Chamomile daisies, a small bunch of red roses, and a few evergreen sprigs from the yard. The size is substantial enough to use in the center of your table or on a coffee table. It’s a very versatile vase, and it looks pretty empty, too!

Gifts for Her

Seraphine Scarf Burgundy Houndstooth // Marylebone Sweater Jacket // Expandable check-in hard shell suitcase – 27” // Gucci Jordaan Bit Loafer Burgundy // Tie-neck top in plaid crepe de chine // Mario Bracelet Sezane Mauve // Georgia Wrap Coat in Wool Alpaca Alex Mill // Rouge de Beaute Brillant Glow & Care Lipstick // Paul Beanie Sézane // Italian Leather Slouchy Shoulder Bag // Cashmere tech-touch gloves // Boston Big Buckle Genuine Shearling Lined Birkenstock Zinfandel

A gorgeous burgundy wool scarf from Sézane. Burgundy and gray are so “in” this season, and I love all the options, from my favorite Gucci loafer in Burgundy to Shearling Birkenstocks.

Several brands have a version of the popular scarf coat. I think it’s a fun coat or jacket to wear over anything. Wear it in one color head to toe for a more sophisticated look, or throw it on over jeans and wear it with cozy Birkenstocks. This one (shown above) from Alex Mill is more of a sweater coat. I also love the Quince version, which is more of a coat and comes in seven color options.

I love fancy lipstick to carry in my bag for those times when I apply a little lipstick in public! You can’t go wrong with a Gucci lipstick!

This bracelet is so simple, but I feel a little fancy whenever I wear it! Jeans, a white shirt, loafers, and a chunky bracelet for the final touch that’s not too much but just right!

You can’t go wrong with a pair of touchless gloves and a cool beanie in their stocking!

Gifts for Him

Marshall Action 111 Speaker // Sunday Element Hoodie // Bose QuietComfort Bluetooth Headphones // Belkin 2 in 1 Magsafe Wireless Charging Doc // Bose New Smart Atmos Soundbar // PC Portable Lamp DWR // Nappa Leather Toiletry Bag // Sunday Performance Jogger

Everyone loves Vuori. It’s cozy, washes and wears beautifully, and is worth every penny. I wear it, and I always give it as a gift to my son and husband.

The latest in charging docs and a few other tech gadgets would be nice to have!

Gifts for Host & Home

Capri Blue Fir & Firewood Jar Candle // Unscented Taper Candles // Wire Basket Candelabra // Jean Dubost Laguiole 24 Piece Flatware Set // The Icon Table Lamp: Snail Edition // Parrot Tulips in a Vase Wall Art // Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker // Greenhouse Glass Ornament // Onion Baskets set of 2 // Ooni Outdoor Pizza Oven // Speckled Enamel Carafe // Peppermint Bark // Cooking in Real Life // Stagg EKG Electric Kettle // Mongolian Cashmere Throw

Practical Gifts No One Would Mind Receiving

Nappa Leather RFID Blocking Passport Holder // Harry’s Razors // Set of Percale Sheets from Quince // Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer // Aesop Hand Soap & Hand Cream // Adidas Gazelle Sneakers // Apple AirPods 4 Wireless Earbuds // Mongolian Cashmere Slouch Sock // Aveda Wooden Paddle Brush // Quip Toothbrush // Slate Electric Flosser // Quince Carry-on // Zima Dental Cleaning Pod

I am guilty of getting my family practical gifts that I am sure they need, and since it’s the holidays, it’s one more gift. Like the three dental items I have on the list, if someone has a retainer, a mouthguard, or Invisalign, they need a Zima Dental Pod. It’s really the only way to get your dental appliance clean! On my last visit to the dentist, instead of getting the usual scolding from the dental hygienist, I got a “whatever it is you’re doing, keep it up!” – An actual first for me! I can only attribute it to my Slate Electric Flosser, designed by a dentist. It makes the perfect stocking stuffer if you ask me!

A Dyson hair dryer would be nice, slightly more fun than a new toothbrush, but still practical.

A new pair of AirPods will likely find their way into my kids’ stockings. Along with a pair of
Mongolian cashmere slouch socks that we can all wear while we play Scrabble!
