And for the last post in my 2022 series of gift guides (see gift guide for babies and toddlers , gift guide for preschoolers, and gift guide for him) is the gift guide for her! I saved this one for last because I knew that it would be the one I would get the most distracted researching for. I may have purchased a couple of things along the way, but that’s in the fun of putting these together! I spent a lot of time trying to come up with something for everyone, and I think this is a pretty good list for friends, family, or spouse.
I know I’m posting late, but a lot of these will come before Christmas so hopefully that’s helpful!
Jams & Jellies
My MIL received some jams and jellies from Bonne Maman that she loves! She was also gifted their tea set and the caramel set and highly recommends that as well! Fun and simple ideas for just about anyone!
Self Cleaning Water
Did you know that most reusable water bottles have more bacteria on them than toilet seats? Icky right? These shark tank-endorsed Larq bottles have been on my radar to give as gifts to frequent travelers or really anyone!
Ancestry or 23 and Me Test
I did both of these tests (23andme and Ancestory.com) this year (still waiting on the Ancestory results), and since then, so many people told me this was one of their favorite gifts they received over the years! I found the testing process super simple for both tests, and the turnaround time seems about the same. Wondering which one to buy? This is a great article.
Personalized Travel Jewelry Case
I LOVE the idea of a mini jewelry box for traveling; this one is personalized!
Bath Accessories
One thing I’ve learned is there are two types of people in this world, bath lovers and bath haters. There don’t seem to be too many in between. Take from someone who LOVES baths and didn’t have a stand-alone bathtub since college (I will not share with the kids). Bath accessories are always appreciated now that I have a stand-alone bathtub. (Except when pregnant because you can’t really take baths, or not hot baths anyways, when pregnant.) If you know someone who LOVES baths, then a surefire (and great for last-minute shopping) gift is bath accessories. There are so many to choose from:
Other beauty favorites of mine are hydra-gel toner (feels like silk, it’s amazing), vitamin C serum, and the smooth, bright mask from beauty counter.
More fun ideas:
- Hand-crafted luxury candles (on the pricy side, but a luxury item for the person that’s hard to give gifts too!)
- Zesica loungewear set from Amazon – one of my favorites was sent to me as a gift after KK was born! I still wear this set all the time!
- Beyond Yoga –is one of my favorite athleisure lines, especially their joggers! I also love their maternity clothes. Buttery smooth, not see-through, and high quality!
- Memories: Nixplay frame – send your photos from your phone directly to this digital frame. This will probably be on every gift guide I ever make. I’ve also been eyeing an at-home photo printer.
- Gift card ideas: A gift card to Sephora, Ulta, or her favorite beauty company so she can splurge a bit on exactly what she likes! I also recommend a Stitchfix Giftcard, a gift card to her favorite coffee shop or spa/nail salon.
- Bath and Shower: Bath accessories like a pillow, caddy, and bath salts. I recently gave these shower steamers to my SIL, and she loved them!
- Cookbooks: Here are a few of my favorite: 30 Day Weight Loss Plan and Cookbook (shameless plug), Meal Prep Guide for Weight Loss (shameless plug), Skinnytaste Air Fryer Cookbook, PaleOMG cookbook, Ma Baseema Cookbook (Middle Eastern/ Mediterranean cookbook), and Bread on the Table (Baking Book with stories of the recipe origin from across Europe.)
- Slippers I love no-heel cozy slippers like these or these UGG brand. I feel like a UGG brand slipper is ultimate luxury, ya know? Something I’d never buy myself but would be so stoked to receive. For people who like full-foot slippers like these cute knit ones from pottery barn, L.L. Bean, or Anthropologie (I love the speckled pattern on these), they look super cozy too! And I like these from Banana Republic for those that prefer a more open-sandal-style slipper!
- Air Pod Decorative Case This one is adorable, but there are also dozens of options on Amazon. So if you need a last-minute, small gift for a friend, this could be it!
- Temp-controlled mug! Can even be personalized for the ultimate gift!
- This personalized birth month flower necklace is the perfect gift for the gardener who has all the garden tools!
