TOP 2022 GIFT IDEAS
Favorite Coffee Mugs
It’s no secret I love a good coffee mug. Coffee is just better in a special mug! An initial mug shows you thought of that person specifically. Here are three of my favorites! Level it up by pairing it with a coffee gift card or hot cocoa supplies.

Amazon Huggie Earrings
I was so excited to discover these Amazon finds! I’m amazed by the qualify for the price. You can gift these to everyone on your list or use them as stocking stuffers. The huggie style is perfect for anyone who loves something dainty or who has multiple piercings. I typically wear 2 or 3 pairs together.

Cozy Slippers
Slippers are a staple in my annual gift guide. I’m currently loving these! They’re so soft and comfy, that I’m basically living in them. I don’t like sweaty slippers, so I love that the back is open. These are a fabulous gift on their own, but you can also pair them with jammies, bath bombs, sugar scrub or anything cozy.

Bouqs Subscription
This is for that hard to buy for person. We all love fresh flowers, but often it’s not something we want to spend money on for ourselves. For my birthday last year, my family gave me a subscription to Bouqs and it’s been so much fun! I get a seasonal bouquet each month (you pick the frequency and size) and they’ve all been just beautiful. These also make great one-time gifts, centerpieces or holiday hostess gifts!

Stanley Tumbler
You may have seen these all over Instagram. After I got my first one (now I have two and still want more colors!), I realized they live up to the hype! Kendall and I have the 40 oz, but it also comes in 30 oz if you want something smaller (or a lower price point gift). They come in several colors, keep things cold all day and the handle makes them that much better than a regular tumbler. Don’t ask me why, it just does!

Aria Wood + Glass Diffuser
This gorgeous essential oil diffuser is at the top of LOTS of wish lists! Seriously a show stopper. If you follow me on Instagram, this is the diffuser you see in my stories almost every day. It’s hand crafted from American maple and glass and is basically an instant spa vibe. My favorite of all my diffusers (and I have a lot of diffusers!). The Aria covers up to 430 square feet, has beautiful LED lights and an option to play relaxing music. If you’ve had your eye on this one, now is the time to treat yourself, girl!
Get the diffuser (comes with tangerine + peppermint essential oils) HERE or get a bundle of the diffuser + 12 essential oils for LESS THAN $20 MORE HERE!
Jammies
Jammers are such a cozy holiday gift. I absolutely love these and have them in several colors! They’re soft, comfy and warm without being overly hot. They fit true to size, so they’re fairly easy to gift if you know someones’s XS/S/M/L/XL/XXL size.
There are so many cute things to pair with pj’s! Last year, I gifted these jammies to my mom and sister, along with buffalo plaid earrings from my favorite local jewelry business, Carver & Jo Creations. They also pair perfectly with Young Living’s incredible smelling + toxin free Winter Nights set (which you can find HERE).

Pick-A-Pom Shop
These are so fun! You choose the hat (or scarf) you want, and there are lots of interchangeable poms that just snap on. I got these for Kendall and I last year and we LOVE them! These are cute to roll up and stick out the end of stockings too.

Bougie Throw Blanket
You know I love a good throw blanket! There’s nothing better than snuggling up during the cold months. If you need a splurge gift or something special for YOU, this ribbed Barefoot Dreams blanket lives up to the hype! It’s ridiculously soft and large enough to share or to fold over for extra warmth. You can find it HERE.
And if you’re looking for a budget option, THIS dupe is a great price point for holiday gifting! Whichever you pick, it’s a good one to put on your own list this year.
Echo Dot
Do I have this on the list every year? That’s because we get SO much use out of them! Do you use Alexa already? Whether you have a one already or you’re new, everyone can use another Echo Dot! We have them in so many rooms now. My kids got them for their rooms a couple of years ago and love them! How adorable are these new dots for kiddos?! Here are some of the ways we use them…
✔️ Play music from Amazon, Pandora, iTunes, etc.
✔️ Listening to audio books or podcasts
✔️ Keep track of shopping lists and other customized lists (for example, I have a Trader Joe’s list and a Young Living list on mine) so I can just shout out things to Alexa to add to the list. Makes shopping time easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy!
✔️ House-wide announcements. We all love this one! Whether it’s bedtime, or I’m in the kitchen and dinner is ready, or I’m out running an errand and need their attention at home, I can record and play announcements over the Dots
✔️ Reminders and timers
✔️ Amazon reorders
✔️ Jokes, games, calling
✔️ Checking the weather
✔️ Farting. Not even lying. My family loves to ask her to do this. You’re welcome.

Uncommon James
It was a few years before I decided to try Kristin Cavallari’s jewelry brand, Uncommon James. I got some things for Kendall and I this summer and they’ve become some of my go-tos! They’re a fun and trendy twist on traditional jewelry. Great quality at a reasonable price. My personal favorites are the Rebel and Girl Boss earrings.

Our Place Pan or Pot
This continues to be one of my faves!! I have both the pot and pan and use them ALL THE TIME. I saw the Our House Always Pan and Perfect Pot shared on Instagram for probably a year before I took the plunge and I’m SOOO glad I did! The pan replaces your frying pan, saute pan, steamer, skillet, saucier, saucepan, non-stick pan, spatula, and spoon rest. And the pot does everything from boiling to baking, crisping to steaming. Clean up literally could not be easier with these, which I’m loving. And they come in lots of cute colors. And bonus, the coating is non-toxic, which you know is important to me.
P.S. They also just came out with bakeware and a cast iron pan that goes in the over but still has the ceramic non-stick coating (which of course I had to grab)!
