Gift Guides : Unwrapping my Favorite Things!
Hi friends! With the Black Friday and Cyber Monday frenzy behind us, let me help you “sleigh” your adult gift-giving, too! Dive into my curated list, ranging from grand gestures to delightful little surprises that not only bring joy, but have received the stamp of approval from happy giftees. Read on to unwrap the magic!
There’s a reason this award-winning luggage has a cult following - it’s stylish, durable, has a limited lifetime warranty (that includes zippers, wheels, and handles!), and its compression system is an over-packers dream. Mine is several years and countless trips old now, and still performs like it did the first day. And, it’s still pretty. A jet-setters dream! Bonus: use my code for $20 off!
Life without reheating your coffee? Yes, please! My parents gifted these to us last year after we gave my dad one and he discovered it’s a coffee-lovers necessity. This mug is now my daily desk companion, making sure my coffee stays at MY perfect temperature throughout the holiday chaos. Bliss. And look at the super cute red one for Christmas!
My dad said these were one of the best presents he’s ever received. No bending down, no pinching fingers behind your heel, no shoving your foot in and breaking down the heel. Plus, they’re stylish, and according to my dad, super comfortable! Whether it's for kiddos, those with limited mobility, or anyone with a no-time-for-tying lifestyle, these are a game-changer.
Need a gift for a book lover who is short on spare time? Audible to the rescue! Audiobooks are my secret weapon for “reading” book club books, and for entertaining myself on walks and while doing chores. Gift memberships for 3, 6, or 12 months? Brilliant!
Turn any home into a cozy haven with this smart diffuser! I love that they are made with clean, high-quality ingredients and are safe to be used around pets and children. Also, they carry scents from some of my favorite brands like Nest, Anthropologie, Guy Fox, and Capri Blue! Plus, no more candle anxiety – set it and forget it.
A gift that's as much fun to give as it is to receive! We gave this to my parents (who said it was one of their favorite presents ever!), and it turned into a treasure trove of family stories. The books are like a beautifully bound time capsule, and the process is a blast. Highly recommend for the difficult-to-buy-for, and for preserving those priceless family tales!
A game-changer that went from my wishlist to my must-have travel companion! Perfectly sized for my laptop, small purse, makeup, toiletries, chargers, water, snacks, a book, and more. Thanks to its smart design, everything stayed within easy reach under my seat—no more awkward elbow dances with my neighbor, and my drink stayed safely in its place. Now, it's poised to become the go-to gift for my travel-loving squad!
Searching for a fail-proof gift for your fabulous friends? Your hunt ends here! I've successfully turned many gal pals into addicts of this beauty gem. It's so good – non-sticky, heavenly scented, and perfectly sized to toss in your purse or coat pocket. My personal fave? The "Berry" shade for that effortlessly natural, festive pop. (Psst... Score it at a steal during Sephora's 20% holiday sale from December 1st to the 10th!)
The coziest socks in all the land! Even my son is obsessed and is getting some in his stocking this year. This brand has a cult following and can be found in 5-star resorts for a reason, and that reason is that they know how to do chic comfort AND incredible quality. Like a warm hug for your feet - Olaf would approve! Gift-giving tip: Package these up with a coffee mug + gift card to your giftee’s favorite coffee shop.
This little bee is a staple in my shower, and one of my favorite (under $15!) gifts to give. It smells like heaven, exfoliates like a dream, and leaves your skin feeling as soft and dewy. A perfect, affordable treat for yourself or a lucky friend (or both!).
