Tekla Towel Set

When it comes to any home fabrics Tekla knows wtf they are doing. Look, this is a kinda boujee gift, but a towel is something you use literally every day, so why not make them nice? I am infatuated with the one Tekla towel I own, and this will be a gift from me to me this Christmas!

L’Occitane Shower Oil

Another bathroom goodie! I’ve been a shower oil addict since all the European girlies put me onto this L’Occitane shower oil. It’s the perfect “you never buy yourself but would love to have” type of item. The oil is luxurious and rich without being too floral or fragrant.

NYT 36 Hours: World

I became infatuated with the NYT 36-hours YouTube series in High School. I love the idea of hitting the hidden highlights of a city for 36 hours alone. NTY frequently updates their 36 Hours column online, but for those who love a good coffee table book, you can’t go wrong here.

DedCool Detergent

A friend of mine (one with very good taste) put me on to the Dedcool detergent and I am just hooked. The scent is super gender-neutral and it really does motivate me to do laundry. It’s a great gift for the friend who has everything!

Open Spaces Nesting Trays

My rings, pocket change, and keys used not having a home before these little nesting trays. Sometimes, I stack them together; other times, I break them up, but now all of my misc. things have a little home. A great gift for those who are hard to gift for!

Yia Yia and Friends Olive Oil

It’s no secret that I love to cook, and a good olive oil goes a long way. I love a fun infused oil and the ones from Yia Yia and Friends are my favorite. The chili-infused takes #1, Garlic #2 and Basil #3 (I haven’t tried the plain or lemon yet). Pair this with your fave dry pasta and there’s a present for the cook in your life!

My Life in Chapters

I came across this journal in Barnes and Noble. It’s a ten-year guided journal that reminds you exactly who you were in any given year.

This is a great holiday gift as we get close to the end of the year. It gives you a chance to reflect on all the things that happened this year, and take a moment to dream of what next year may look like. Plus, it looks really great on a bookshelf or coffee table, and comes in a few colors.

Bombas Slippers

So cute and cozy, and really high quality. They’re lined with sherpa and have memory foam soles. They tend to sell out fast around the holidays, so don’t wait!

MasterClass Subscription

MasterClass is an online education platform that offers video lessons taught by world-famous experts in a variety of fields including cooking, writing, public speaking, storytelling, entrepreneurship, and more!! The content is incredibly high quality and entertaining.

This is a great option for someone who LOVES to learn, or spends all their time on YouTube.

Goodreads Book

Do you have an avid reader in your life? I highly recommend going to their Goodreads profile and checking out their “Want to Read” section. Pick out a book and ship it straight to their door. This is a great option for long distance friends, too!

My other favorite place for books is Thriftbooks. If you don’t mind lightly used books, or have a sustainability-savvy friend, this is a great place to buy from.

Travelpro Carry-On

If you’re looking for a more expensive, high quality gift for someone, and they do a lot of travel, look no further.

I received this gift about a year ago, and I think it’s one of the BEST gifts I’ve ever gotten. It’s super sturdy, has tons of room, looks great, and feels very high quality. I used to have a cheap carry on from Amazon, and this one blows it out of the water.

L.L. Bean Boat and Tote

L.L. Bean has been making this iconic bag since 1944. This bag is super cute and super affordable. They are SO high quality, and are made of heavyweight canvas material making it really sturdy. You can also get it with a personalized monogram. It’s giving coastal Maine or lake life vibes.

Bombas Socks

Another Bombas appearance! If you’ve ever worn a Bombas sock, you know that these are the best socks in the world (not an exaggeration). We both are obsessed with Bombas, and they are slowly becoming the only socks we both own!

Summer Fridays Lip Balm

This is a GREAT stocking stuffer. The product is really moisturizing and looks great. One tube lasts a long time too. This is an everyday staple! A “can’t leave the house without it” product!!
