2020 has been quite the year and now that the holidays have arrived, it’s the perfect time to treat yourself or tell the ones you love what would really make you happy. If you have a list of girlfriends to shop for, these are a few ideas to get you started. This list is my personal favorite because it’s basically all of the things I already love or want to be gifted so let’s get straight to the goodies…
- Thanks to quarantine life, puzzles are making a comeback in our house. Galison / Mudpuppy (sister brands) have some seriously cute designs and I’m starting this one for the holidays; pairs well with comfy pants, coffee / wine, and holiday jams.
- I love this stamped skinny cuff bracelet on Etsy that comes in gold and rose gold colors. Could be stacked or worn on their own and look amazing. Honorable mention to a more narrow bracelet which also comes in silver.
- Self-care is the gift that keeps on giving and this set by Honest Beauty is a great one (and even comes with a cute headband, too). Love, love, love some good, clean beauty products!
- Essential oils have been a real game-changer and this is my favorite diffuser by Serene House. They have a good mix of styles and sizes to match any decor and even sell a starter set of oils to get you going. My personal fave for this time of year is The Christmas Spirit by Young Living and it smells so so good!
- For candles, the Capri Blue Volcano candles at Anthropologie are my go-tos and never disappoint. They come in gorgeous glass jars which I 1000% repurpose when the candles burn out and they recently added diffuser oil if that’s more your speed.
- I feel like most people have a favorite mug or travel cup and for me, it’s this one by Porter. I have it in blush but they have 6 other colors and I love that it’s made of ceramic for insulation but covered with a super-soft, silicone sleeve; the best part of all – it’s dishwasher safe (happy dance). Their entire line of products is amazing so pop in their online shop to see the full spread!
- I like to think that I’m not a regular mom, I’m cool mom (name the movie) and while yoga pants are my wardrobe staple, a solid pair of cozy sweatpants are always in rotation. J.Crew Factory is one of my favorite shops because their clothes last and they’re totally affordable. I swear, these pants will give you life and come in all the colors you need.
- Joanna Gaines can do no wrong if you ask me and her first cookbook has the yummiest recipes that are IMO seriously drool-worthy. The photography alone literally makes me want to eat the ultimate chocolate chip cookies off the page. PS if you can’t get enough, she also just released volume two which is even on sale right now.
- Last but not least, my ride-or-die De’Longhi espresso maker. It makes single and double shots, has a slim footprint (which means more open counterspace, ah-thank-you) and is super easy to clean. They have other units available but this one came highly recommended by our besties and we have been thanking them ever since.
So there you have it, friends…these are a few of my favorite things! XO
