Joanna Gaines Cook Book: Magnolia Table Volume 2
After some semi-thorough research, I found that Volume 2 of her cookbook series is perfect for an advanced cook in your life looking for some new meals to try. If your parents are empty-nesters looking for some new things to cook, this is the perfect place to start. There is also a dessert section that has the most delicious brownie recipe everyone should try!
Adding to the cooking theme of the previous episode, this is a great gift for anyone who loves to host gatherings at their home. Not only is it functional, but it is also beautiful and amazing quality for the price.
Sleep care items:
Pajamas, Uggs, Sleep masks. As our parents age, they want to be comfortable and nothing helps them achieve that more than one of these as a gift. Cozy Earth is known for the softest and comfiest pajama sets. Uggs mule slippers are also perfect for anyone who wants to feel like they are walking on clouds. If your parents complain about the light bothering them from their sleep, a quality sleeping mask might be just what they need to get those extra minutes of sleep every night.
BROTHER
Lego Set of his favorite thing:
Legos are always a win for most boys in life. Anything from small sets of his favorite Pokemon or superheroes to larger things like chess sets is sure to be a great gift.
Hoodies/Sweatshirts of his fav’s merch:
If your brother is a fan of anything/anyone then he will likely love some merchandise from them. No matter what the age of your brother, whether he is into Mr. Beast or Tyler, the Creator, a nice hoodie is usually a good gift for any time of the year, especially the holidays.
Video games/accessories:
While video game consoles and headphones can be extremely pricey, the games and small accessories themselves are still great things to give. An X-Box or Nintendo gift card is an easy way to make sure your brother can get whatever game he truly prefers. Nintendo Switch controllers in colors they do not already have are great things to offer.
SISTER
Stanley Cup:
If your sister does not already have one of these, do not hesitate to get them a Stanley Cup this holiday season!! This is a very useful gift for any sister, and the color variety gives you options to choose from so you can surely find something that will match your sister’s aesthetic.
Charlotte Tilbury Superstar Glow Kit:
Honestly, anything from Sephora or Ulta’s gift guide collection is surely to be a win, but the Charlotte Tilbury SuperStar Glow Kit is always appreciated. This is a popular and quality brand so this kit will definitely be put to use.
SKIMS – Anything:
The SKIMS holiday campaign was recently released and it looked incredible. Any of their collections are great, but if you need a place to start, their essentials collection, especially the Essential Long Sleeve Scoop Neck Bodysuit, is perfect.
PETS
A New Laying/Scratching Place:
As the weather gets colder, your furry friend may be spending more time inside than usual. If that is the case, then a new place to lay is a great gift to consider this holiday season. This can be a scratching place for cats or a cozy bed for dogs. Either way, I am sure your pet will appreciate you.
A *Special* Beverage:
With all the fun your family may be having during the holidays, it is totally normal to wish your dog could participate in the fun drinks you guys are all having. The Best Buds Brew is a safe treat drink for your dog to enjoy when your family is having fun.
Overall
The holidays are about having a sincere and wonderful time with your loved ones. Gifts are a classic way to show your appreciation, but they should never be seen as a requirement. Whatever the gift, it is important to remember the love you and your family have for each other above all.
