The holiday season is officially here! I know that gift guides and sales have been filling your feeds across social media which can be very overwhelming. In full transparency, it’s very overwhelming for me as well! I talked about this a little bit on Instagram before the season began, but I really want to make an effort this year to be very intentional about the content that I share to make sure it can benefit you and provide the most value for you during the holiday season. In an effort to make your shopping experience as seamless as possible, anything I share can be found on my holiday Instagram highlight, as well as in my holiday post collection on LTK. Happy shopping!
for her
This collection of gifts would be perfect for any of the women in your life – think mom, sisters, aunts, friends, in-laws, etc! There are a few classic gifts like a boat tote, a makeup bag, a set of nice hand towels, or some stationery that you could monogram and personalize. I love to give and receive a cozy gift so blankets like this Chappy Wrap, the woven blanket from Target, a fuzzy robe, or a pair of my personal favorite pajama sets make great gifts! I tried to incorporate options at a variety of price points depending on what you’re looking for!
I always ask for a new Day Designer planner each year and this would be so cute to gift someone with a set of pens or the Stanley cup for work! For the girls that love home decor, you can never go wrong with a good coffee table book or an on-trend needlepoint pillow. My personal favorite gift included in this guide are the suede bags from Target! They are only $35 and hold a ton!! They are quite literally the only bags I have used throughout the fall. For any guys that may be looking for gift ideas, jewelry is always a good option! I’ve included a couple of my favorite everyday pieces in this guide!
for him
These gifts would be perfect for your husband, dad, boyfriend, or brother! I made sure to include a few of my husband’s favorites such as the Vineyard Vines quarter zip, the garment duffel bag for travel, and the custom watch box from Etsy! If you have a man in your life who is a watch enthusiast like my husband, I had him give me a few high quality and reputable (yet budget-friendly) watch options as well!
Guys can be difficult to shop for, so I always try to think of things that they may not always purchase for themselves. Things like a cozy button down shirt for the winter months, a nice jacket, or a travel mug or tumbler they can bring on the go! A cord organizer is also great for travel and this leather option from Mark & Graham can be personalized and looks very elevated for the price! If he’s active or enjoys running or working out, a Theragun is a great recovery tool to gift him!
for the hostess
This is arguably one of my favorite gift guides to make every year! Now that I have a home of my own, it’s so fun to entertain guests and add different pieces to my collection! If you have someone on your list who loves to cook and/or host, these gifts are sure to be a hit!
I absolutely love my dutch oven and use it so often, especially during the fall and winter months for making soups, risotto, etc. You can never go wrong with a festive set of dishtowels or linen napkins – combine with a cheeseboard or serving platter and you have a great hostess gift! For smaller gift ideas, I love these gingerbread salt & pepper shakers or the hydrangea print oven mitt & rubber spatulas for baking! If you’re going to someone’s house, this wine cooler paired with their favorite bottle would be a very thoughtful and practical gift. Although more expensive, a seasonal set of china is a great idea for the hostess who has everything! This red toile pattern from Juliska is so classic and comes in a variety of colors.
for the newlyweds
The newlyweds gift guide would be perfect for the bride-to-be, the recently married couple, or your own wedding registry! If you’re specifically looking for wedding registry ideas, I also have a YouTube video on my channel highlighting some of our personal favorites that I will link here.
Any type of kitchen appliance is always a fun gift to receive! The Kitchen Aid mixer was one of my favorite registry items and it really is a game changer for baking! My husband and I have also enjoyed growing our Smeg collection over the past year or so. Not only are they aesthetically pleasing on your countertop, but they are great quality appliances as well! My parents really enjoy using our coffee pot when they come to visit.
If you are getting married, you can never have enough picture frames. Especially when you get your professional photos back, you’ll want to have plenty of options to display them throughout your home! I always think gifting a nice set of luggage or a personalized luggage tag is a great wedding gift for the couple to use on their honeymoon and you definitely can’t go wrong with home decor like ginger jars or anything from Mackenzie Childs! I know it’s not everyone’s style, but they are gorgeous pieces that make great gifts! Weddings aside, some of these items would also make great housewarming gifts for friends or family who have just moved or purchased their first home. I love this personalized cutting board and custom coasters that you can get from Amazon!
for the wellness lover
Whether it’s running, pilates, walking, or yoga, the health & wellness girly in your life will love these options! These are a handful of my favorite pieces of gear that I use daily and love! For the runners, I included my favorite honey stinger gummies, LMNT electrolytes, foam roller, ear wrap, running belt, and vest. These are pieces that I swear by in the colder months. I love my yoga mat and gym bag from Lululemon, and love using my dumbbells, resistance bands, and Bala Bangles for my at-home workouts! Add in a trendy Hydrojug to complete the gift!
under $50
These gifts would be perfect for secret Santa gift exchanges at work, with your friends, or even as add-on gifts to something I previously shared! If you can’t tell, I love the hydrangea line from Rifle Paper Co. My sister gifted me the oven mitt last year and it is one of my favorites! I also have the set of journals and they are great little notebooks to keep on hand. I think it’s cute to give someone a nice mug with some hot chocolate mix, or even a seasonal candle they can enjoy throughout the holidays! Jewelry dishes are always great gifts to give, especially when they can be personalized! You could also use it as a catchall dish for keys, spare change, etc.
