I thought it would be best and so festive to bring my holiday gift guide this year. I miss picking out the perfect pressies to be unwrapped by that special someone if your life. And let’s be honest, all of these items are the things I want under my tree this year. Believe me, this list is going straight to my husband’s inbox! What is your favorite item on this list?
Fashion:
Jennifer Fisher Single Coil gold-plated bangle is versatile enough to wear day or night.
Dior Midnight shades-with soft gray lenses and square frames, these sunnies are sure to turn heads.
Paris Texas Stiletto Boots-This brand is becoming one of my favorites. They make shoes that are show stoppers, and these boots no different. And I am obsessed with the burgundy patent leather.
27 Miles Malibu Carmen Cashmere sweater-the DNA of this brand is truly California, and as soon as I saw this sweater, I knew I had to have it. It’s whimsical and fun, with a relaxed fit. And it’s warm too, perfect for those chilly Cali nights. And the company is affiliated with the Good Cashmere Standard and Sustainable Fibre Alliance, which ensures the welfare of the cashmere goats.
Dear John Denim cropped joggers-made of vegan leather, these pants are on constant rotation for me. I love to dress them up or dress them down. And they are the perfect weight for the colder weather.
Isabel Marant Skano bag-Clearly my favorite color and with gold studs (!!!), but what I also love about this belt bag is that is is so versatile. Wear it over the shoulder, around the waist, or across the body.
Larroude Valerie Platform Sandal-this shoe is so fun for a holiday or NYE party. Love the color and the platform is chef’s kiss!
Beauty:
Chanel Lip Duo-love it because it stays on alllll night long through dinners, drinks, and more!
NuFace Mini + Starter set-everything you need to begin your NuFace journey, using mircocurrent technology to tone, lift, and contour the face, along with the brand’s Aqua Gel, Silk Creme, and brush for easy application
Geir Ness Laila Perfume-this has been my personal scent for 20+ years. It’s a light and clean fragrance from Norway, and it features fresh herbs, lily of the valley, and lavender extracts.
Solawave Light Therapy Renewal Set-this skincare wand helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots in as little as 5 minutes a day, thanks to red light therapy, galvanic current, therapeutic warmth, and facial massage.
Avya skincare sheer tinted moisturizer-this is one of my favorite tinted moisturizers because it imparts such a gorgeous glow, while protecting the face with an SPF of 40. It contains hyroulonic acid which plumps the skin, plant-derived squalane which reduces redness and inflammation, and Vitamin C which helps with elasticity and reduces fine lines and wrinkles. This product is always in my makeup bag.
Homecourt Neroli Leaf Tray Set–Courteney Cox really hit the nail on the head when she designed this line of beauty and home goods. And this gift set is great because it includes Neroli Leaf-scented (so good!) hand creme, hand soap, and kitchen soap all housed on a sleek black Yamakazi tray. It keeps everything clean and tidy, and smells amazing!
Calling all of my bathing beauties! Have you ever wanted the most luxurious, spa-like bath at home? Well, look no further because all you need is Susanne Kaufmann oil bath for the senses. It’s a rich blend of ylang-ylang, patchouli, and lavender oils, with fresh rosemary and sugar cane. And it’s vegan, cruelty-free, and will make you feel like you have just stepped out of a tranquil retreat.
Travel:
Paravel makes this super-handy toiletry and jewelry cases that are see-through so you can easily access what you are looking for. You can personalize them too!
Beis Carry On Luggage-This tough and sturdy piece of luggage easily comes aboard the plane, and packs so much stuff! It comes with an interior bag for all of your dirty clothes, 360 degree wheels, and a TSA approved lock. Designed by Shay Mitchell, Beis has been around since 2018 and has been road tested through and through.
Lunya Eye Mask-I am a firm believer in full sensory deprivation when I sleep. And this eye mask helps to achieve just that. It is made from silk and it is washable! Plus, the wide band doesn’t crease hair, so it’s a win-win in my book!
Katie Loxton Weekender Bag-I love this bag for travel. It’s vegan leather, has 2 short handles, and 1 long should strap for easy carry. You can also get it personalized with your initials.
JBL Portable speaker-This mini (fits in the palm of your hand) waterproof speaker can go anywhere with you-literally! It’s on a carabiner, so it can clip on to a bag, belt, or anywhere that you can hook it onto. And it can play for up to 10 hours!
Home:
Baublebar makes the coziest, customizable blankets in a variety of colors.
Jennifer Fisher Salt trio gift box-curry, spicy, and universal salt all in one. Under $40 and makes for a great hostess gift.
Assouline Chanel Book Trio-given!
How chic are these Jia Jia rose quartz book ends? Need. Want. Must have.
Le Labo Candle Discovery Set-this is a great way to get intro’ed into the fragrance house’s most popular scents: Santal 26 (smoky, leathery), Petit Grain 21 (orange blossom), and Encens 91 (Frankicense, Amber, and Clove)
Riedel Tequila glasses-how many times have you seen wine glasses gifted? They make a great gift, but I am more of a tequila sipper these days. And these Riedel glasses are perfect for having a tasty nip of tequila. Happy cocktailing!
Wellness:
Lagree Micro-this piece of equipment gives you a super-challenging full body workout, and then some. I call it pilates on steroids, and it is easily one of the hardest workouts I’ve ever done. It focuses it’s intensity on the muscles, and is low impact for the joints. Easily one of the hardest, yet one of the most effective workouts I’ve ever done.
Higher Dose Infrared Sauna Blanket-this might be one of the most relaxing activities that I have grown to love in the last year. I slip into my sauna blanket, and go into a deep relaxation. The benefits are endless-improved circulation, glowing skin, better sleep, and more.
Gardyn Microgreens Complete Kit-you can choose what you grow and how much of it you grow. And grow plants in as little as 7 days with no plant food required! Seems simple enough, and it is so appealing to grow your own food.
Bala Bangles Weighted bangles-These weighted bangles are so easy to use during a workout, or even for daily wear while working, running errands, or any other activity you choose!
Therabody Theragun Prime Smart Therapy Device-this piece of equipment delivers a personalized therapeutic massge via the Therabody app. It’s lightweight, easy-to-use, and comes with 4 different attachments.
Beyond Yoga Jumpsuit-this onesie goes straight from a workout to brunch. And it’s so soft!
