The final gift guide of 2024! I hope you are all boohooing and wishing for more (I am imagining that there is an angry mob outside of my door, pitchforks and all, knocking down my door and begging me to make more. Selfishly, I’d like to think you all have loved these gift guides as much as I have.) But there is no need to fret, dear reader, as this last post is a real goodie: we have more guest columnists! I’m really excited for you to hear some recommendations from these amazing gift-givers, and especially in the midst of the Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals season! Without further ado, let’s get into it!
Tania’s Picks
Tania is the ultimate homemaker. She knows how to curate a vibe and make little moments intentional and special and her gift guide totally reflects that. She is the ultimate It Girl and when she recommends something, you listen.
Acca Kappa Toothbrush + Marvis Toothpaste - ($8.80 + $13.50)
I am a big fan of replacing everyday items with something that feels luxurious. This toothbrush + toothpaste makes a mundane moment feel a bit more special and intentional!
Fluff Refillable Lip Oil - $18
I love a well curated what’s in my bag moment and a chic lip product is essential for that. + I love how sustainable this one is!
Dr Jart Face Masks - $16
My face gets so dry in the winter so hydrating masks are a ritual for me. Dr Jart sheet masks are IT.
PF Candle Co Amber + Moss Candle - $24 (currently on sale for $14.40!)
My favorite candle scent by my favorite candle brand. I love them because I’m sensitive to fragrances and these are very subtle. This scent specifically is earthy and fresh, perfect unisex candle! (Note from the editor: we did a gift exchange and I grabbed this candle up ASAP! It’s smells so good and reminds me of Tania’s beautiful home)
Annabelle’s Picks
Lucky for you all, getting graced by picks by sweet Annabelle! She is my little sister and the BEST stocking stuffer gifter this side of the Mississippi. She used to work at an unnamed fragrance/home scent store and has always smelled good. My take on Annabelle’s stocking stuffer style: grassroots influencer.
Lanolip Multi-Balm - $13.50 (currently on sale for $9.45)
Female founded and owned company with the best lip salve to have ever existed. I’m actually planning on putting these in stockings myself this year because I think they are the best lip balm I have tried to date. It can also be used as a lip mask but I will put my life on this: better than Vaseline, and Carmex.
Magnolia Lotion Bar - $13
Plant based ingredients & female founded, this lotion bar is really convenient in your purse/bag for trips or day to day because getting dry on the go f*cking sucks. It’s solid, so you can go through TSA and bring it with you on trips without having to buy little to go containers for your big jug of whatever lotion you have at home. The scents are light enough where they can stand alone but don’t overpower any perfume/scents.
Cute Keychains by aribeads - $15-$25 price range
Really inexpensive keychains from a small brand! I purchased one of these for myself last month and with shipping was around $20 per keychain! I picked up a really sweet cat with some charms and she's very adorable. Shipping was quick and came with heart shaped bubble wrap that was light pink. Very thoughtfully made and packaged for the dolls!!
Swedish Dish Cloths - $13 (currently on sale for $10)
I got these for Char a few years ago!! They're reusable cloths to keep around the kitchen to help reduce waste when cleaning/cooking. IDK if Char actually uses these but they're quite charming! Note from the editor: I absolutely used to use these until I lost them in a move and am devastated! And they are quite charming!
And there you have it! The last gift guide of the year - I hope these picks find their way into either your stocking, or the stockings of the people you love!
