Holiday Gift Guides for literally EVERYONE.
It’s that time of the year! Holiday season is upon us, and it’s time to start thinking about how you can show the people in your life the love and gratitude you have for them. While I’m not the most shopping obsessed of people, I have always actually loved getting gifts (and always writing cards!) for people. It’s a little chance to not only show that you cared enough to get them a little something, but showing your relationship with them and how well you know them.
While there are most definitely plenty of great ways to show your love and care with non-material goods, nearly all of us end up needing to get some holiday gifts for all the different people in our lives. You don’t want to show up empty-handed to holiday festivities and peoples homes— there are quite a few socially obligatory scenarios in which you’d want a gift in tow.
SO. I curated these guides for you guys to help you get gifts for all the people that tend to be the most difficult to shop for!
I tried to include a variety of prices (and I listed them all!) and some low + higher end options of several items to fit a somewhat reasonable range of needs. It is also Black Friday / Cyber Week just around the corner, so it really is the ideal time to shop! Most of the places I curated these guides from are participating in some sort of deals— AND I LISTED A CHEAT SHEET RIGHT HERE below.
TIP: it’s even more creative when you combine some smaller gifts into a special combination for a bigger, more thoughtful gift (like a coffee bean subscription WITH a pourover, or tea lights, bath salts, and massage oils to go WITH a book), rather than just jumping for an expensive item and calling it a day.
Black Friday / Cyber Week Deals
MADEWELL— Extra 25% off with code DEALWITHIT through 25th
WEST ELM— code SAVE MORE for up to 30% + free shipping
SUR LA TABLE— up to 75% off
ALO YOGA— 30% off all
NORDSTROM— up to 60%
REFORMATION— 30% off all
Yep. It’s that awkward phase where you’re past the swiping and casual hookup, but you’re not quite serious yet, so it’s kinda awkward to get a nice gift but it’s even more awkward to get nothing at all. Welcome to dating in 2018 😂Luckily, there are a bunch of low-key options that say “thoughtful enough” but not “you my wifey / hubby,” and I put them below to save you:
Tickets to anything: Honestly, my main vote, especially for the people that tend to value experiences > goodies. Go see a cool independent movie, take your person ice skating, a comedy show, a local live band, concert, wine tasting, a cooking class, etc. Make memories, keep the cost reasonable, and don’t be afraid to get in the cheesy holiday spirit and skip being too cool for school.

Perfect way to capture adventures without having phones out + instant mementos

All those helpful people in your life that make your life easier and better— it’s hard to know what to get for them because sometimes you don’t know their personal lives outside of the context of how you know them. But the good thing for you in this situation is, is that these people who have chosen helping professions usually are all people that are usually bad at treating themselves to nice little luxury items and the like 🤣, so this is the perfect opportunity to!

Aesop Hand Wash ($60 for 18 oz)
An item I can’t manage to bring myself to buy because it is so expensive for soap, but I got this as a gift from one of my training clients one year and I literally got happy every single time I used it.

Food Storage ($30)
For those people you know who pack lunch, get them away from those BPA plastic tupperwares, and give them this cute little solution.
Saje Kitchen Party Cleanup Kit ($24.95)
This was on another list, but did I mention that the cleaning solutions are all biodegradable and won’t harm the environment / your pipes? Plus, the rag saves many a paper towel.
