Gift Guide Top 10 Draft

This is the jacket of the season. I bought two this year. The woman in your life definitely wants one. Or two.

In the age of the Apple Watch, it’s very dainty and sophisticated to think of wearing an analog watch. It’s timeless. It’s the definition of it girl.

I don’t know when — but our purses are wearing jewelry these days. Bag charms are very in right now. This horse/horseshoe/equestrian-themed combo has my heart. I have at least three bags I would clip this onto immediately.

This was my favorite sweater last year. I wore it on repeat all winter. Last year, I had it in black — this year, I want the gray. And camel?

If you haven’t pre-ordered this yet, what are you even doing? We were there. It was rare…

I love mixing a bright red with a neutral. She’ll feel so pretty and festive in this scalloped scarf. Gift this with a lipstick of the same color 😉

I have four sisters, so I think this hat is especially funny 🙂 Gift this to the daddy’s girl in your life and watch her wear it unapologetically.

This scent went viral for a reason. It’s *richer* and spicier than straight-up vanilla. Also, it smells good on everyone. I *promise* you she’s heard of this — and wants it.

The lady in your life needs a new robe, and this one is the prettiest 🙂 This is on my wish list this year, and I can’t wait to wear it on Christmas morning and pretend I’m Diane Keaton in “The Family Stone.”

Why is silver my favorite now, instead of gold? Anyway, this ring is a classic statement piece that would look good on any girl/any finger (so don’t worry too much about the size).

Guys need a fresh pair of sweatpants to lounge around in during their Christmas break. I love that these are thick and cozy and don’t get tight at the ankles. They’ll stay on the stop of the laundry pile for months to come. I’m loving the classic colors and vintage style!

We got this smoker this year, and it’s nothing short of a miracle-worker. We smoked turkey legs (Disney-style) and were shocked that the house wasn’t filled with smoke — despite all the flavor! This guy was designed to smoke indoors — even if you have an apartment! The man in your life will fire this up on the first DAY.

Shh… I got this for Chris! This is so he can track and measure his driving distance off the tee, allowing him to improve his game over time. Plus, it’ll make all of his golf buddies jealous 🙂

A low-profile casual sneaker can take him from weekday to weekends, and this Nike leather shoe is the sleekest one I’ve seen. Who’s that guy with the cool shoes?! (He’s yours.)

For all the dog dads out there with pups that look up to them, this sweatshirt celebrates their bond with a not-so-subtle nod to The Godfather, the movie every guy quotes constantly. Cricket melts into a puddle when she sees Chris. Our dog is different with him than she is with any of us. So, naturally, he needs this.

Chris specially asked for a slip on leather slipper with nothing too fuzzy inside…and I immediately went on the hunt and found these. Get rid of his ratty old slippers, and replace with these. They’re indoor/outdoor, so if he insists on wearing them to the movies — no big.

With over 41,000 reviews, this hybrid electric beard razor and trimmer has a massive fan following—including Chris. It cuts so smoothly that the only nick he’ll see this holiday season is St. Nick.

Guys love their cars smelling good. Two years ago, I got Chris hooked off Drift–a clip on visor scent for his car. (And now I want one!) This hangs on his car visor and comes as a subscription. It’s sleek and sophisticated and not overpowering. Best of all — they have the best subtle scents that don’t smell like a gas station air freshener. Paired with a car wash punch pass and you’ll win the stocking game.

His dogs are barking! Tell your guy to kick his feet up, and enjoy a warm massage. I may have to borrow this one…

This is for the guy who doesn’t wear a robe, but also doesn’t know what he’s wearing yet. After-showering puttering is just a little more modest with this wrap 🙂

This French-inspired pastry is too fun, mais oui? It’s so unexpected and adorable. It’s always a game for me to find a stuffie for Christmas that the girls have never seen before. When I saw this one, I knew it was traveling home with me.

Polly likes to play make-believe (I got her a diner costume set last year), and I snuck this one on the list because I know she’ll love writing letters all year long.

Such a great price point on a digital point-and-shoot camera for their photo collection. For the kid that can’t wait to see the picture. It comes in three other colors that are so retro cool. Plus it has a zoom feature!

When she was little, Faye used to have a canopy in her bedroom. This one is so cute, it almost looks like an heirloom piece in the making. Perfect for a reading nook or over a bed.

For the kid who has endless energy, this little trampoline is the perfect gift for long winters inside and it’s easy on the eyes, too. You’ll love that they’re not bouncing off the walls—at least temporarily. 😉

I dreamed up my ideal dollhouse that I would want to have had as a child, and this is it. We designed this piece with Pottery Barn Kids, and it’s just the sweetest dollhouse with wallpaper and arched windows. It comes with some furniture too!

Every kid loves to jump on stones, whether they’re real or not! These colorful stepping stones can provide so much entertainment.

Classic catch, minus the hard balls and real mitts. I love that this can be done indoors safely!

The new kid on the gifting block is craft modeling clay (move over Play-Doh!) Their colorful creations can be air-dried and displayed like the treasures they are.

If you really want to see their eyes go wide this Christmas, get them one of these electric drifting go-karts. I got these for the girls a few years back, and they still whip around the cul-de-sac.

Whose teen isn’t slightly obsessed with Squishmallows? Greta has about 20 that line her dresser. I don’t get it, but this combines two of the most on-trend gifts right now. The Snorlax is one of the cutest Pokémon characters.

Bows are everywhere! And they’ll feel extra special receiving jewelry. The realistic ribbon effect in this one makes it look a lot more expensive than it is!

The it puffer coat (Greta requested white). The cropped look is so in, and the price is great. Plus it’s machine washable so they can keep this looking fresh for when they meet up with friends!

This little inkless printer is compatible with Android and iPhones for the most fun custom stickers. It comes with 3 rolls, so your tween or teen can print photos, pictures, study notes, journal decorations, and more. Why didn’t they have this when I was younger?!

Amazon’s version of The Hatch and I kind of love it even more? The newest Amazon Echo Spot has a fun *whisper* mode so your pre-teen or teen doesn’t have to wake up the whole house at all hours. And there’s a subtle wake-up mode to give them the best start to the day. (Any help we can get, right??)

After Taylor Swift sported these at a Chiefs game, these glitter freckles have been the hottest new thing. It’s the perfect stocking stuffer for anyone going to The Eras Tour—or any other concert…or Tuesday at high school.

I put these on the tween and teen gift guide, but I really want these for myself. When we can combine a shoe/slipper in one, my kids are thrilled. The mushroom color is so classic.

This hydrating lip mask is perfect before bed—I use them myself! I’ll be adding these to the girls’ stockings, because they come in so many fun flavors.

The Owala water bottles have a fierce following for a good reason. This is Chris’s favorite brand because it has both the straw and sip/pour function at the same time. It’s great that it seals too, so your teen can take them to all of their sporting events or camps.

We added these under Faye’s bed and now Greta is begging for some under hers too. They’re so easy to install (and the price is too good!) The remote control can sync to music and will change color to the sound of rhythm of sound. It’s their very own light show!

Like an Instant Pot, but prettier. This jack-of-all-trades can prepare grains perfectly, cook meltingly delicious meat, or make up the ever-popular bone broths. They’ll want to leave it out on the counter, it’s that pretty—and useful!

Classic and a generous size for serving a crowd. I can imagine my mom pulling this out for every family dinner.

Every puzzle lover needs one of these. Pack away and store your puzzle when you’re not working on it and as a bonus, this one rotates so you can work on different sections easily!

This sweater vest caught my eye with it’s classic ribbed look and beautiful mushroom color. It’s just the right amount of outdoor-meets-upscale. They’ll be cozy all winter long!

Pulling gloves on and off to use your phone is a thing of the past. These beauties would be my sidekick during all the chilly months (your parents will thank you!).

This album is one of our favorites to play on our record player (in the upstairs landing so the whole house can hear!). Neil is beloved by all generations in our family!

This device has a smart hub to keep them organized and lets them video call grandkids completely hands-free! And it’s so easy to set up, they will be asking Alexa to play their favorite song in no time.

It’s giving luxury spa but at an attainable price. Plus it’s so sleek, it’ll go with any bathroom design. How great would this be on those chilly mornings??

This is Chris’s go-to everyday knife and a great addition to any kitchen. The wood handle is just that extra touch that makes this knife stand out. Not to mention, they desperately need a single sharped knife in their house. These are forged in France by a 5th generation bladesmith—so they can impress all of their friends.

I love the idea of having one of these for every house I’ve lived in. We have one of the cabin that gives me warm fuzzies every time I see it.

A new wallet with a guarantee that they’ll never lose it. It’s so sophisticated and sleek (that full-grain Italian leather!).

Can you imagine a holiday table set with these? The monogram detail just makes it that much more special. This is something someone might not buy for themselves, but would treasure always.

I haven’t been much of a scarf girlie in the past but I want to change that this winter. The little charms on this one give such a cute, collected vibe. And I love a varsity stripe!

Pair this instant printer with a pretty glass box to keep all of their pictures in. I keep mine on the coffee table and love looking through the pictures while curled up on the couch.

They might have everything but do they have the softest blanket ever? This color goes with just about everything and the subtle stripe makes this look even more luxurious.

A trio of my favorite matte lipstick is the gift I want in my stocking this year. Merit is a favorite around here for its wear-anywhere colors and clean ingredients.

I bought this for the beach this summer and will never use anything else. This carry-all holds its shape, and the sand just rinses right off. Comes in a ton of colors.

Our family loves getting this out year after year to look back on past Christmases and fill out new traditions we’ve started. It’s a great gift that will be unexpected, and pulled out year after year.

Who wouldn’t want to melt the tension away at the end of the day with one of these? I know a dozen people who would be thrilled to find this under the tree.

Deep cleans jewelry with a touch of a button so your accessories stay bright and shiny. They’ll wonder how they ever went without!

I bought this for the smell but am keeping it for the cut-outs on the jar that light up when the candle is lit. The brass jar is SO luxe.

Every homebody needs a good coloring book and I like that this one isn’t advanced with a ton of small sections that can be overwhelming. Pair it with a nice set of colored pencils and fuzzy socks, and they’re all set for a cozy night in.

Who knew a nugget ice maker could be both functional and beautiful? Every drink is more fun with pebble ice. So happy it now comes in white! Would be a great addition to any countertop.

A great gift for a new homeowner but I know any home lover would be thrilled to hang this on the tree year after year.

Tabletop frames are better than ever right now and I want to add one to every surface. Add a picture of their loved ones and you won’t find a sweeter gift under the tree. The dark wood frame is classic and modern at the same time.

The platform version of my favorite Boston Birkenstocks. It doesn’t get more on-trend than brown suede either. I wear Birkenstocks around the house all the time.

These are actually linen boxes… perfect for hiding the remote, or anything else you need handy but don’t want sitting out. Tuck in a little fun note for an extra-special surprise.

Everyone needs a good set of stationery imo. It doesn’t get prettier than this one from Rifle Paper Co.! The green has my heart.

These stopped me in my tracks. Can you imagine these on a bookshelf?! These pups are so distinguished—they’ll smile every time they see them.

I bought this last year and my favorite thing about it is how long my candles last while using it! Not to mention, the ambiance it adds to a room is unmatched. Lamp-o-clock and candle-o-clock together, at last.

We made butterbeer in this the first time we used it and were immediately transported back to Harry Potter World. The next time, we put apple cider in it for 30 minutes and served it over ice cream! Unlike the Ninja CREAMi, you don’t need to freeze anything overnight and it holds nearly a gallon! It’s really fast, and really easy to clean. It’s coming out at all of our parties from now on!

This is just the most elegant tool I’ve ever seen for cutting bread. And I’ll bet even the “hostess with the mostess” doesn’t have this 😉

We keep a set of pretty playing cards by the dining table for that after-dinner time when the conversation is still rolling, and no one is ready to get up from the table. These make an excellent gift for the host who knows how to make that entertaining transition from dinner… to a short game… to dessert.

A record player adds instant nostalgia to a croony evening in. Gift this to your favorite host with a Bing Crosby Christmas vinyl. (And don’t stress because it has a Bluetooth, too — for all of the Spotify playlists they’re famous for.)

I ordered this in October, and I just love to look of it in our range nook. I immediately bought a second one and wrapped it up for a hostess gift. I mean, talk about elevating the everyday…

We played this a lot when I was a kid — some heated games, and I can’t wait to gift this to one (or two) of my sisters. But it’s also a great gift for a host because it’s one of those nostalgic games everyone has played before, and there won’t be a lot of explaining rules.

Go to Whole Foods, and get the Berry Chantilly Lace cake. Put it under this dome. You’ll be the hit of the party, and your host will be all dazzle-eyed about getting to keep such a pretty stand.

Chris jots down all of his recipes in a notebook in our kitchen, and he goes back in and makes additional notes when he cooks those recipes. This book is a future heirloom for your favorite host’s family.

Hubba hubba. I actually drool over this mixer. It’s a work of art as much as it is the greatest kitchen work horse.

This is a great kitchen candle because it’s subtle and doesn’t compete with the aromas of delicious food cooking. Your favorite host will love it (and keep it stocked year-round).

I’m really into caps this year, and they great thing about them is you can’t have too many. They make GREAT gifts. Who doesn’t need one of these for walking/running or a post-gym hair cover-up! This classic slogan will help those early risers (like me!) getting out of bed in the morning.

I got this as my birthday gift last year, and it has been the gift that keeps on giving. It helps track so many analytics, from how good my sleep is to my biometrics. I never take it off.

Did you know you’re supposed to replace your running shoes every 6 months? That makes December the perfect time to get your fitness pal on the right track for the new year. I already have 2 colorways of this sneaker, but I’m eyeing this one so hard. These feel so 90s in the best way.

When I take Cricket on walks in the winter, I need to keep my hands warm. These gloves are the perfect thing for someone who loves to take their exercise game outside.

If your favorite athlete doesn’t have the viral Ninja CREAMi, you will make their day with this appliance wrapped under the tree. It’s surprisingly great for protein-rich “ice creams”—you can make incredibly nutritious treats with just a few ingredients!

There’s nothing more satisfying than changing into your lounge clothes after you’ve finished an extra-challenging workout session. This will keep them warm and cozy during their cool-down. 

It’s important to add strength training to your workout routine, and this weight vest adds some gentle, but powerful pressure to their morning or evening walks. I love the spot for the phone as well! And for under $30, it’s an easy add-to-cart.

These Bala Bangles have over 1,600 5-star reviews, and they’re so versatile! Your gym buddy can use them for yoga, pilates, boxing, home workouts, and walks. They come in 3 weight options and 5 colors—this sea blue is so calming. 

If there’s a better gift under $10 out there, I don’t know what it is! This little battery-powered frother is great for mix-ins, vitamins, protein blends—and even the celebratory matcha latte. I always have one of these on hand.

This Stanley water bottle has been my sidekick every morning at the gym. You can’t beat the 64-oz capacity! I love the flip straw for workouts and the top handle because it’s more clean and secure. Plus, it stays icy cold for hours when you need the ultimate refreshment.

This is for the office gourmand who’s always packing the most delicious lunches — and doctoring up whatever you guys order in. Little drawer-sized hot sauces for the win!

This is Chris’s favorite olive oil because it’s delicious for cooking, but it’s also the perfect olive oil for salads or dipping sauces or even drizzled over ice cream. It’s fancy olive oil. And it makes a great gift.

Set a timer! I love this one because there are 11 different time options, so you can make a list, set a timer, and knock it out.

This is for the person in your office who keeps it cool on client calls. Who needs to grit their teeth when there’s a dumpling stress ball? 🙂

You know exactly who you’re getting this for — and it’s the same person who sends you all of those work memes. She gets it, and work wouldn’t be nearly as enjoyable without her.

Put this in a little gift box with a bow. It’ll be darling on your coworker’s keys or purse.

Sleep is precious! This is a luxurious gift for your coworker in need of some downtime. It’s one of those things people wouldn’t get themselves, but it’s what they’ll be gushing about around the water cooler.

Every office has a proud dog mom (or dad). The green color is just-right for their weekend excursions, too.

For the office coffee drinker — upgrade their Starbucks cup for this insulated mug that will keep their brew hot all throughout the morning meeting.

This would look great in the boss’s office — especially with a bottle of their favorite drink.
