Can anyone else believe that it is already November?? I swear October lasted 2 seconds. It’s safe to say we have reached holiday season. Personally, I am mostly looking forward to Christmas music 24/7. Sorry not sorry.
Anyways,
I put together a holiday gift guide because I have realized how helpful they are. Below are ten items that I truly love and think would be great gift ideas for you or someone else!
Here is my 2023 Holiday Gift Guide
1. TV Show/Artist Blanket: I received a criminal minds blanket last year during the holidays and it is by far one of my most favorite things I have ever received. Criminal Minds is my all time favorite show so having a blanket with all my comfort characters on it = the best thing ever. Truly. It’s a great gift because who doesn’t love being gifted a new cozy blanket? And bonus points are that it features your favorite tv show or artist on them. Something so simple but can hold a lot of meaning for whomever you gift it to. Linked is the Criminal Minds blanket but Amazon has many other tv show/artist options!
2. Oil Diffuser: I’ve owned an oil diffuser for many years now and it’s my absolute favorite thing ever. If you love candles you’ll most likely love an oil diffuser. I’ve been using it a ton this fall season, finding different fall blends. They all smell amazing. I can’t wait to start finding Christmas blends! The oil diffuser linked is from Young Living but you can find them many places such as TJ Maxx/Marshalls and Amazon!
3. BeKindBella: Isabella Hurlbut is an artist and creator that I found on TikTok a couple years ago and quickly fell in love with her work. Her art deals a lot with mental heath struggles and being seen. A common thing a lot of us deal with so I think it’s great that she makes work based on that. It’s inspiring and enables you to connect with your inner feelings. Her website is linked and I highly suggest checking it out! She sells posters and prints of her work along with some other things.
4. Victoria Secret Boyshort Panties: Boyshort underwear for women are super in right now (rightfully so because they are SO comfortable). These ones from VS are super comfy and come in a lot of different colors. Underwear is a great gift because I feel like you are always needing new ones (like socks). So it’s always a safe bet gifting underwear plus the boyshort ones are super cute!
5. Lanolips Lip Products: I’ve recently discovered Lanolips and their lip products have become a staple for me. (Check out my post on all my favorite lip products!) I love their lip products mostly because they actually hydrate my lips. Take it from a girl who picks her lips a lot, these products bring them back to life basically. They have a lot of great scented ones along with glossy ones!
6. Olympus Stylus Epic Film Camera: If you know someone who loves taking pictures or loves film this camera is great. There’s something really fun and nostalgic about taking film photos and waiting to see them. It’s a whole experience. Plus being able to have physical images to look through with family and friends is way more enjoyable! If you already know if someone has a film camera gifting rolls of film is another great gift idea.
7. Colleen Hoover Books: It seems like over the past year or so everyone’s been reading Colleen Hover books. I finally decided to join the party and I will say, they are good. Her books are great if you are easing into reading and aren’t sure where to start. She also has many books published so there are many options to chose from!
8. Ellis Brooklyn Perfume: Perfume is a great gift because someone either wants to try a new scent or needs a restock of their old one. Ellis Brooklyn is a personal favorite. I use Apres which is a woodsy, musk smell with top notes of Saffron, Juniper Berries and Cardamon. All of their perfume smells amazing and I highly suggest them.
9. Yeti 20oz Travel Mug With Handle: Yeti’s are simply just great. Everyone could use one. The travel mug with a handle is a great option and the color options are just as good!
10. La Roche Posey Moisturizer: Another staple of mine. A lotion that truly works. It’s unscented and melts into the skin. It is my favorite because it really does leave my skin feeling nice afterwards but also moisturizes it at the same time.
Hopefully this list was helpful as you start thinking of what to get people or for yourself!
Happy November 🙂
