The holidays are coming. Halloween and Thanksgiving are over, and the holiday shopping is well under way. A favorite season for shoppers and financial offices alike, the holiday season and cooler weather is finally upon us.
Yet despite all the opportunities the Internet presents us for gift giving, there are almost too many options. So, if you’ve been struggling to get a gift for that one person (or everyone), or if your own list is looking a little blank, here are some ideas for this holiday season.
- For Mom
Being a mom is hard. Remind your mom how much she rocks.
- A meal “voucher” (free until the meal comes)
If the deadline to order something has passed, a nice card saying you’ll take your mom out to a meal is perfect. Quality time and food–she’ll love it.
- Sips by Tea Subscription ($50, $100, $200)
- Shower Steamers
Being a mom is stressful, but shower steamers are relaxing. You can find these at Target or T.J. Maxx, but here are some nice ones you can also order: Cleverfy Shower Steamers ($16), Body Restore Calming Lavender Shower Steamers ($30), Aura Cacia Purifying Eucalyptus Shower Tablet ($8)
- A Massage or Spa Gift Card
- For Dad
- Bug Bite Thing ($10)
Because everyone hates mosquito bites.
Good quality sunglasses that won’t break the bank.
- Ticketmaster Gift Card (starts at $25)
For his favorite sports team, or that band he’s always playing.
- The Stranger Wine Share ($75 or $150)
- Musgo Real Soap On A Rope ($28)
I’m just as confused as you are by the name. But, it’s cool and looks nice, so go for it.
- For Grandparents
- Gingiber Tea Towel Subscription ($20 without sale)
The gift that keeps on giving.
When in doubt, give flowers.
- Digital Picture Frame ($140 on Amazon)
Does it get more perfect than this?
- For Her (sister/friend/cousin/girlfriend, everyone and anyone)
- FreePeople Socks: Beloved Waffle Knit Ankle Socks ($12), Cable Heart Crew Socks ($14), Rosebud Waffle Knit Ankle Socks ($12)
So coquette!
- Travel Jewelry Organizer ($20)
From personal experience, this is one of the best travel presents you can give.
- MonétBeauty Ice Globes ($25)
For the “It Girl”
What are the changes this is going to help with a New Years resolution?
How cool?
- Lululemon Define Jacket Luon ($118)
One of my own longest-lasting and most-loved gifts.
- For Him (brother/friend/cousin/boyfriend, everyone and anyone)
Every car owner needs one of these.
- Multi-Tool Pen ($16)
Chances that he’ll use all the tools are low, but it looks cool.
I have no clue how this works, but I want it.
Hygiene!!!
- Honorable Mentions (A little extra because I love shopping, and I just couldn’t not include these)
- rhode peptide lip tint ($16)
- Anthropologie Beaded Chicklet Bracelet ($20)
- Accidentally Wes Anderson ($21)
For the film nerds out there.
Yeehaw.
- JellyCat Stuffed Animals (start at $25)
- Loops Facemasks (start at $25)
- Tarte Best of Maracuja Juicy Lips ($40)
- Koss Porta Pro On Ear Headphones ($40)
Straight out of Pinterest.
- North Face Men’s ThermoBall Slippers ($59)
- Sofia Coppola Archive Book ($65)
- Adidas Sambas (start at $90)
- Spotify Premium (cheapest plan starts at $10.99 per month)
- Coffee Table Books (from Assouline)
So. Many. Cool. Options.
- Acne Studios Checkered Scarf ($320)
