I kept having the same dream.
It’s the one where I’m banging elbows with other Christmas Eve shoppers, desperately rifling through racks of winter coats, hiking boots and scratchy flannel shirts. The clamor of “what am I going to do?” is ringing in my brain because nothing I see is right to wrap in a box for my dad.
I love finding the perfect gift that will show I’ve been paying attention. But last minute pressure and mobs of people in a mall are not a recipe for inspired buying.
Which is why I love gift guides. You get thoughtful suggestions for what to buy, and avoid all the hoards of people by buying online.
I’ve pulled together a collection of things for everyone in your life. And I hope it inspires you and lets you stay home from the malls with no more nightmares about holiday shopping.
GIFTS FOR HER
This pullover is cozy and works for home or a casual workplace. The quilting and leather detail give it a little something extra. ($26.99)
Perfect for anyone who surrounds themselves with inspirational quotes and mantras. Replace their sticky notes with this felt board and letters.($20.95)
This is similar to one of my favorite scarves. Wear this oversized blanket scarf and you’re wrapped in comfort all day. Pull it around your shoulders or throw it over your legs for easy warmth. 34 unique patterns to choose from. (Starting at $12.89)
This is the kind of book you open in a bookstore and can’t put down because it captures what’s in your heart so perfectly. With reflections on identity, connection to self, loss, social justice, the struggle to juggle autonomy and intimacy, mothering, and finding the sacred in the ordinary. This book will help you evolve, savor, celebrate and release. (New starting at $18.79, without shipping and tax)
GIFTS FOR EVERYONE
My heart leaps in my chest every time I see pictures of this blanket. It’s so luscious. ($65.88, Ivory White, 32 X 40”)
Imagine these tea lights lined up on a window sill or on top of a cake. Give it to a teacher or babysitter or as a stocking stuffer. ($12.59, 12 Pack)
When Adam saw this at the neighbor’s house, he had to have it. No more worries about touching the dispenser with dirty hands. Who knew something so simple could bring so much joy. ($43.99, Brushed Nickel)
Only the good stuff. Cacao. Coconut sugar. Cocoa butter. All organic. Smooth and creamy. Zero bitterness. ($25, 4 pack)
Weighted blankets calm the nervous system leading to deeper sleep. I have a similar 15 lb. blanket. It’s super cozy being so tucked in. This comes in 20 colors and patterns. Use it with a duvet for easy cleaning. ($79.90, dark grey, 48 x 72”/Twin, 15 pounds for people who weigh around 140 lbs.)
This pressure cooker doubles as a slow cooker and is such a time saver. I use it to cook beans, soups, grains and stews. During holiday cooking I pressure cook potatoes to free up a burner. When I’m entertaining I keep food warm in it. ($54.99 - 6 Quarts)
GIFTS FOR HIM
These socks are so clever. Below the cuff they look like a regular striped sock, but cross your legs and reveal a funny face. ($22.99. Pictured: Funny Face Character)
Vests are so easy. Just throw them on and go. Your arms stay free but your torso stays nice and warm and you don’t overheat. Perfect for outdoor activities like yard work or walking the dog. The zip collar keeps your neck warm without a scarf. ($56.67)
As soon as the temperature hits 50 degrees, I’m wearing a hat outside. This comes in 34 colors. It’s an Amazon best seller. ($14.99)
This waterproof speaker is the size of a can of soda and stays charged for 24 hours of playtime at medium volume. Imagine listening to podcasts hands- free while working in the garage. It’s perfect for use in a golf cart. ($39.99)
GIFTS FOR PET LOVERS
Stripes and a hood? I mean, come on. I can’t even. Bentley is 17 inches around and a small fits him perfectly. The v-neck means it doesn’t pull tight around his neck. ($29.00)
Your favorite pet lover will adore seeing their pet’s face on a pair of socks. Ships within 10 days of ordering. ($14.79)
