stuff i love (that's also giftable)
not, not a gift guide
the thing about me is I switch like a light. I sent out the last part of the thanksgiving menu yesterday, and now thanksgiving is a distant memory to me. i’m full send christmas mode, I don’t even want to show up to dinner on Thursday. obviously I will very much be there because they will suffer without my culinary talent, but if my boyfriend has been sick of hearing christmas music for the last month, oh just you wait pook.
and I knew I must finish my thanksgiving recipes before putting out a gift guide - so I finished my homework and now we can have fun and shop!!! I wasn’t really not into the idea of searching for random shit your sister might like because I don’t know your sister like that, so instead, I will just list of all my absolute favorite stuff I have either bought, been gifted, want after trying from a friend etc. and if you want to buy them all for yourself, then you actually just chemically turn into me. idk who would want to do that, but could be fun.
anyway, without further a yap, here is the definitive list of….
shit i love that you can gift:
home:

iconic and #1 used bowl in my house rn. perfect size.
very heavy nice ceramic bowl - so cute to put some cute items in as a gift basket vibe
10/10 set everyone needs a good set of knives
so chic so parisian, I’m pulling the trig on these. love this cream color for a more chill vibe.
beauty:
replica afternoon delight by Maison Margiela
this perfume is insane. i always get compliments on it and have had several friends buy it. it’s vanillay yet musky - so good. 20% off too.
another highly complimented product. this would be my desert island beauty product. good set on sale for a gift imo.
so good, i have it on my coffee table for people to use and everyone raves about it. very unique scent, not too floral. mom almost stole it from me lol.
skin by ella rose headbands + blush
these headbands are literally perfection. if you are a headband girly, you’ll get it. perfect thickness + tightness. I wear them to get ready, and out. I also love the flamingo shade of creme blush for a no makeup look.
maybe this would be my desert island item actually bc I literally cannot live without a spritz at night. feels like a mini facial idek how to explain.
l’occtiane milk concentrate cream
godly feeling and smelling. super luxe. can’t live without. 20% off.
only face masks i feel like actually do anything
hands down the best face cream I have ever used - i have really dry flaky ass skin in the winter and this just fixes it like magic. worth the $$ but 25% off I’m literally ordering a year supply lol
if you’re a curly girl like me - this is GOAT. keeps frizz at bay and smells sooooo good - really holds a soft curl great. i’ve put so many friends on. 20% off!
edibles:
flamingo estate personalized olive oil bottle
this is really cute and I know a mom would go crazy for it.
brightland vinegar + olive oil gift set
my favorite olive oil and newly favorite vinegar, been going through it like crazy - very cute set and a perfect intro to their products!!!
build a spice set from burlap & barrel
these are single origin spices that are really high quality and such a treat to use. I went down a rabbit hole reading about other spices and I’ll save it for another day but I would be gagged if someone got me a set of these!! you can do a baking theme or spicy vibe etc.
this is my fave of the lot and it is truly great quality - if you know your friend has been wanting to try I would do it!! they’re the cutest boxes
3lb bucket of maldon salt flakes
the best thing $24 can buy, that’s all.
fire and 20% off
actually such a good premade espresso martini that tastes so fresh when shaken with ice. beautiful bottle for gifting an espresso martini loverrr.
other:
iconic, best gift i have ever gotten. always get stopped in it
grumpy christmas frog jellycat
the full size version is sold out but this mini is adorbs
the brand Gardenheir is overall so so cool for a friend that’s very outdoorsy or loves gardening. everything is very botanical and chic and gorgeous. I went to their store upstate and literally couldn’t stop buying stuff. very unique and amazing quality items!
another need I will be buying bc I look like a damn idiot ubering 4 min home when I could walk
hope this was helpful and if it wasn’t that’s fine too, this only took me 5 hours to put together with my last 3 brain cells <3
xoxo happy shopping
