With Thanksgiving already behind us, the holiday season is officially in full swing. Along with the most wonderful time of the year comes gift giving. Some find it stressful trying to find the ‘perfect’ gift, but shopping for your loved ones doesn’t have to be challenging. I’ve curated a gift guide to help you check everyone off your list and maybe even find something for yourself. Disclaimer: I’ve organized this list as ‘for her and for him’, but these ideas can be applied to anyone.
For Her
A Blanket Scarf – Leah Oversized Blanket Scarf — Hydrangea (Preorder)
If you live somewhere cold, a scarf like this is going to be your best friend this winter.
A Stanley Tumbler (or any water bottle for that matter) – The Quencher H2.0 FlowState™ Tumbler | 40 OZ
A cute water bottle makes it easier for those of us who forget to drink water throughout the day.
A Belt Bag – https://shop.lululemon.com/p/bags/Everywhere-Belt-Bag/_/prod8900747?color=0001
For those who don’t have enough stuff to need a purse, but don’t have enough hands to carry what they have.
Matching PJ Sets –
I never feel more put together than when I get out of the shower and have matching pajamas to put on.
Absolutely amazing for depuffing the face and waking up in the morning.
We’re Not Really Strangers: Self-Love Edition – https://www.werenotreallystrangers.com/collections/games/products/self-love-edition
For the one who doesn’t believe in complements. So they can see what everybody else sees.
It’s amazing how these transform your hair- love!
A Silk Pillowcase – https://thxsilk.com/collections/thxsilk-silk-pillowcase/products/22-momme-silk-pillow-sham-envelope-closure-10-colors?variant=39491101589589
Good for the skin, good for the hair, good for the soul.
Cute Wine Glasses – https://www.macys.com/shop/product/godinger-sheer-stemmed-wine-glasses-set-of-4?ID=14482158&CategoryID=65938&isDlp=true
These make me feel fancier than drinking out of a can.
For Him
Whether it’s his wallet or his keys, he won’t lose anything ever again… hopefully.
A Coffee Table Book About Something He Loves –

This is a really thoughtful gift that is customizable to any person in your life. There are coffee table books on almost anything these days
A Weighted Blanket – https://www.target.com/p/arctic-comfort-machine-washable-cooling-weighted-blanket-dream-theory/-/A-83926995?preselect=83928698#lnk=sametab
Basically feels like you are constantly being hugged. Who wouldn’t love that?
Merch from his Favorite Team
I recommend going on Depop for this one. You will be able to find so many unique pieces that they will love.
An XBOX Gift Card for that New Game he’s Been Wanting – https://www.walgreens.com/store/c/microsoft-xbox-gift-card-$50/ID=prod6341228-product
If you’re like me and don’t always know what the hot new games are, this is a great option.
Who said legos can’t be for adults too?
An Air Fryer – https://www.target.com/p/gourmia-5qt-12-function-guided-cook-digital-air-fryer-black/-/A-80137210#lnk=sametab
