2022 HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE - MY MOST USED ITEMS
Finding the perfect gift for someone is one of my favorite things to do. Gift giving truly is my love language. For some people, this time of year brings a lot of stress around finding a gift, especially one that feels true to the person you’re giving this gift to.
I thought about some of the things I’ve received in my own life over the years that I use all the time or gifts that I’ve seen other people use again and again; here’s my 2022 holiday gift guide! I hope it helps you out this holiday season.
Gifts Under $50
Notebooks/Planner
I love a good notebook. I love writing out my thoughts, ideas, goals, and dreams. I also love to sit with my physical planner and organize what needs to be done each week. So whether you have a dreamer or an organized queen/king in your life, these always make a great gift. My favorites come from Papier because of the customization options and their wonderful designs! Check out this super cute gratitude journal!
Candles
I’m never mad about receiving a candle! There’s a lot of great small businesses out there that make some wonderful candles such as Thistle Farms out here in Tennessee. Candles really cozy up a space nicely, and you know people will use them around their home!
Facial Steamer
I got this Vanity Planet Steamer last year, and I love it! It really feels like your own mini spa experience. It also came in handy when I was sick and had a lot of head congestion, so that was a bonus at the time I received it.
Ice Roller
An ice roller has probably been one of my favorite editions to my skincare routine. It so nice to have especially on mornings where I wake up feeling more puffy around my eyes. If you know someone looking to up their skincare game, this might be the perfect gift!
Julie Mollo Clutch
If you’ve followed my career for the past 10 years, you probably saw me wear a custom outfit at a show or red carpet made by Julie Mollo. Julie has been killing it in the accessories world and makes the most wonderful custom clutches, travel bags, and more! I got a custom gravel bag for my mother-in-law this year, and she absolutely loved it! If you want to support a small business, definitely shop here! My current favorite item? Hard to choose, but I really love the Clear Pink Confetti Clutch. (I had to include it in my 2022 holiday gift guide since I’ve been eyeing it for my own wishlist!)
Lip Hydration
The Laneige Lip Glow Balm makes for great gift or stocking stuffer. I love the way this balm feel on my lips! On days when I’m not wearing lipstick or gloss, I’m most likely wearing that balm. Help the people in your life keep their lips moisturized!
Gifts $50-$100
Cozy Blanket
Maybe it’s just my personality, but I can’t think of something much better than being cozy on the couch with my pups after a long day… And a cozy blanket just adds a whole other level of comfort. Barefoot Dreams Blankets are always a great choice, plus you can find them half off on Nordstrom Rack! The Barefoot Dreams Blanket has always been a favorite of those I gifted one too, but there are lots of great options when it comes to a cozy blanket!
Gold Earrings
I was gifted a nice pair of mini gold hoops from Mejuri last year, and I wear them all the time. They make for such a great staple amongst my accessories. To be honest, they are pretty much all I reach for these days because they go well with so much!
Converse
Shoes in general are always a safe bet, but if you are unsure on what style to reach for, I feel like a high-top converse are a classic. I’ve had the same pair of black high-tops for years, and I reach for them all the time because they go with so much. I personally love the shoe in black!
Cometeer Coffee
As someone who loves coffee, this one was a no-brainer for my 2022 holiday gift guide (even though I don’t usually love the ritual of making it each morning). Cometeer has made making coffee SO easy for me. Iced, hot latte, tonic, whatever it is I'm in the mood for all, I have to do is open up the frozen capsule and coffee is moments away. Plus the containers can be recycled. You can sign someone up for a subscription or go for a gift box. I would suggest the light roast!
Airpods/Bluetooth Headphones
I can’t even begin to tell you how much I use my headphones, and if you travel often or frequent coffee shops, you know how much people love theirs as well! Some quality bluetooth headphones can be a great gift for someone who loves music, podcasts, or just wants ease of access with their headphones. These tend to be pricier, but it could be a really amazing gift for a special someone. (Ps…the headphones I own are 30% off for cyber Monday as well - shop it here!)
And there ya have it! Shopping for gifts can be stressful, so I hope my 2022 holiday gift guide helps you out a bit. If you’re looking to save some money, make sure to check out these items today since it’s Cyber Monday! You might be able to snag some gifts at discounted prices.
