‘Tis the season for gift guides, y’all! There will be tons of gift guides on the internet for you this holiday season and instead of doing a ton of different ones for each person in your life, this year I’m deciding to keep it simple. This post is going to contain a few gift ideas for everyone. If you’re like me, often times if I’m presented with too many options I can have analysis paralysis. When there are fewer, better options, I am able to more swiftly make a decision and move on with my life. Since your time is valuable and, if like me, you are low on it, hopefully this gift guide with make it easy for you.

Gift Ideas for Everyone
Gifts for Her
Bright Side Duo – two of the bestselling products and two products I am obsessed with. They are so good and any skincare or beauty junkie would *love* them.
Gloss & Glow Duo – I think just about any woman would love this cute makeup set with universally flattering colors in both the blush & the lip gloss.
Everywhere Belt Bag – if you find it in stock, grab it! It sells out instantly. I have one and can attest that it is so great for every day use. I also take it hiking to fit my phone and snacks, cards, etc. Need an alternative option? Here’s a great lookalike version on Amazon.
Besst Workouts Membership – 1 month or 1 year gift code options available. This would be a great gift for a friend or family member, and then you can get a subscription for yourself so you two can workout “together”, even if it’s virtual. Scroll down to the “gift code” section of the home page to learn more.
Lululemon Align Leggings – not a single person doesn’t love these. I recommend ordering one size down from normal size. Need a budget-friendly lookalike? Try these from Amazon. The fit & feel is nearly identical.
Square Wine Glasses Set – I have these and love them! They always get compliments and would be fun to gift someone along with a favorite bottle of wine!
Gifts for Him
Counterman Clean Shave Kit – Let’s be honest, most men don’t willingly look to take better care of their skin. Treat him to this collection! It comes with a daily exfoliating cleanser, oil free face lotion, smoothing shave cream, body wash, and a charcoal body bar.
Lululemon Metal Vent Tech Short Sleeve Shirt – Craig loves these for hiking and working out. Come in lots of colors and would be great for any active guy!
Hyperice Percussion Massage Device – Another great gift for an active person…guy or girl! We have one and love it. The Go is a great size but still does everything you could need!! The little thing packs a punch for sure. Highly recommend.
Lowball Cocktail Glasses – another favorite of Craig’s. If you have a whiskey/bourbon lover in your life, these are great!
AirPods Pro – I have these and love them. I use for working out too and have no problem with them staying in my ears!
Hatch Restore – give the gift of good sleep!! We have a Hatch nightlight in each of the girls’ rooms and they are great. I will never sleep without a sound machine again, and this is so much more than just a sound machine.
Gifts for Teens
Instax Camera with Film – I actually have this and love it 🙂 So fun to take pictures and print them right out as keepsakes. Fun for all ages but would make a great gift for teens.
Portable Bluetooth Wireless Speaker – Another great option for anyone but I think a teenager would really like the on-the-go music option!
Inflatable Air Sofa/Lounger – If all things from the 90’s are coming back in popularity, I can only assume this inflatable sofa is up there! I have also seen people use these on the beach or you could take out camping/hiking, or just for extra seating when they are hanging out with friends.
Gifts for Kids
Inflatable Bounce House – I feel like Emma needs this. She *loved* her bounce house at her birthday party and this is small enough to fit inside a garage or your house. Would be a good indoor activity for when the weather is cold to keep kids active!
Hot Wheels Track Set with 1:64 Scale Toy Car, 4 Intersections for Crashing, Powered by a Motorized Booster, Criss-Cross Crash Track – Emma loves her cars – as do most kids this age and even older. I personally remember playing with a set just like this with my brother when I was probably closer to 8 or so, so it can span the ages!
Kids Fire Tablet – This is a must for us for long car rides or traveling. It’s pretty much the only time that Emma uses it but it is CLUTCH for those times!
Little Readers Book Set – great for beginning readers.
Gifts for Toddlers
Wooden Shape Sorter and Rainbow Stacker Classic Toy Set – Emma had a toy just like this and she lovedddd it.
Wooden Puzzles Set of 6: Early Developmental STEM Toy – Another toy Emma had and loved…she honestly still loves putting the puzzles together!
Farmstand Wooden Sorting Toy – Another toy just like one E had and loved. Great for the motor skills!
Gifts for Babies
Montessori Toys for Infant 0-6 Months – 3 in 1 Building Blocks & Teething Toys for Babies 12-18 Months – The different colors, shapes, & textures are great for babies and provide a sensory learning experience. Helps with fine motor skills and problem-solving.
Let’s Count Soft Book – World of Eric Carle The Very Hungry Caterpillar Baby Teething Crinkle Book – The first toy Emma really loved!! Babies can grab and crinkle the pages. So cute! Really any crinkle toy is great.
Rattle & Teether Toy – E had it and it was definitely used a lot!
Gifts under $50
Hand Lotion Trio – love this because you can either give the entire set to someone OR you can be economical and split them up. Would also make great stocking stuffers. They are so luxurious and smell amazing.
Mini Gloss Vault – Another set you can either gift the entire thing, split it up, or use as stocking stuffers. These are so popular and sell out each year, so definitely grab while you can.
Homesick Candle – I absolutely love these. “Gone Hiking” is one of my favorite scents, but they come in so many others. I love they are non-toxic so you don’t have to worry about filling your home with toxic chemicals. Because so many are named after places/cities/states, you can have an element of personalization here by giving someone a candle from their home state, for example.
Super Soft Throw Blanket – Reviews said this one is so similar to a Barefoot Dreams blanket (usually pricier) that they didn’t think you could tell a difference. I, for one, think blankets make great gifts and that you can never have too many 🙂 However, if you do want to splurge on a Barefoot Dreams, I linked it here and also you can usually find them on sale here.
Gifts under $25
2-Pack of Sunglasses – great gift idea for him or her for under $15.
Hydroflask Coffee Travel Mug – $25 and comes in lots of colors too.
Encyclopedia of Cocktails – We have this and it is so fun! Over 1,000 cocktails plus it makes a pretty coffee table book!
Portable Charger – Really comes in handy! A great gift for anyone with a chargeable device.
