Holiday Gift Guide 2021
The holidays give us an opportunity to reflect on the year - all of the wonderful experiences and all of the people who joined us along the way. The season also provides us with the moments and space to connect with our friends and family, not to mention an excuse to shower them with a little extra love! When I think about my loved ones, I realize how unique and special each of them are, definitely not a one-gift-fits-all scene. It can be overwhelming to conjure up gift ideas for each of your dearest, so I’ve curated this gift guide for you to find that perfect something!
Happy Holidays!
All things wellness…
Hyperprice, the creator of the beloved Hypervolt, has also released The Normatec 2.0 Pro Legs. With preprogrammed and custom modes, the device allows your loved one to reset and recover. Keep them healthy to keep exploring and adventuring!
For the lover of all things beauty, I recommend the Slip Silk Pillowcase. The luxurious silk protects skin and hair from potential damage (creases & tugs, no more!) - keeping the youthful glow while ensuring a night of restorative sleep. Plus, Slip offers the most beautiful colors so you are bound to find the perfect shade for your beauty lover!
Hydration hydration hydration! I’m always trying to drink more water throughout the day, and having an aesthetic bottle always helps. Hydro Flask offers an array of colors and accessories - currently loving the Rain color! More importantly, the products will keep cold liquids COLD, and insulate when your loved one chooses to sip on hot coffee or tea!
For the practical one…
It can be difficult to pick out something for those in your life who are deeply committed to a minimalist lifestyle. We all have someone in our lives who prefers to maintain simplicity in their lives…so I’ve rounded up three gift ideas for them!
First up, a Kindle! For the person who loves to read, but doesn’t want to be bogged down by the weight of their latest hardcover purchase. Ideal for those who are often traveling and going about busy days, it can slip into any purse or backpack easily. In addition, the library is extensive and offers all of the latest releases, so your book worm doesn’t miss a beat!
AirPods have truly been lifesaving, I cannot imagine my life without them now! They’re compact and incredibly easy to connect with a device’s bluetooth feature. Especially for your on-the-go folk, multitasking will become a breeze! I love to put on my favorite podcast or playlist while on my daily walk. Hello cord-free workout sessions!
With so many devices available on the market today, I have found myself continuing to return to my iPad. Whether your loved one is an artist, a reader, or a game enthusiast, they are bound to love it. The different size options and technological capabilities makes it one of the most versatile devices!
A gift I ended up spoiling a few of my friends with this year was a blow drying brush from Revlon. From one girl who loves a blowout to another, these are so great for travel and creating that look on your own.
Gifts that keep on giving…
Urban Stems has become one of my most coveted finds! A modern floral company that not only designs some of the most stunning arrangements, but also one for every occasion. Their expressive bouquets and plants will surely brighten the holiday for your loved ones near or far!
Perhaps the hottest pan on the market - the Always Pan from Our Place. Truly a cult-favorite, the cookware is infamous for replacing eight traditional pieces of cookware and can serve as a fry pan, saute pan, skillet, and so much more. Did I mention that it comes in the most aesthetic shades?
We all know that one person who could use a little more tranquility and stillness. A subscription to Calm is the perfect gift for them! Calm is the #1 app for sleep, meditation, and relaxation. Used by millions, it is known for improving mindfulness and encouraging people to take the time to connect with themselves in a deeper way.
For the friend that always has a glass in their hand - a wine subscription to WINC! The service uses a short quiz to determine taste preferences and then curates a trio of bottles right to your loved one’s front door. They can then rate the wines they receive to get even better recommendations for their next delivery. The world of wine brought right to them!
Self-care Sundays taken to a new level! A six-month Brooklyn Candle subscription is ideal for those who love slow mornings and treating themselves. Your loved one will receive Brooklyn Candle’s candle of the month - think peonies in the Spring and pumpkin in the fall!
A little bit extra…
For your unique and artsy loved one, the YSL Leopard Polaroid is the PERFECT gift! An instant camera with the same commitment to fashion as your loved one, with a retro flair. They can capture the most beautiful moments in style!
