It’s that time of year! Time to shop for our loved ones. I wanted to create a few gift guides of our families favorites! I love shopping for my friends and family and appreciate when I have recommendations for things others love.
The items linked below majority items we have in our home. There are a few on our wish list that will be added to our family this year! I hope you find these gift guides helpful. From our family to yours! Cheers to family favorites and all the smiles your loved ones will feel with these holiday gifts!
These are a few of my favorite things!
Socks: I love Hot Sox. They always have the most festive socks. It’s way more fun wearing snazzy socks and their holiday collection is divine. Gift to a teacher in your life, add to a stocking, or fold into a mug with a few chocolates for the perfect festive gift to a coworker.
Mug: Holiday mugs are always a great gift! No matter how many someone has a new holiday mug is always welcome. This one is from Nordstrom. Whether you buy this mug only or add more the the order it’s always FREE shipping which is amazing!
Gorjana jewelry: I have been wearing Gorjana for years! It’s such a fabulous brand. This necklace is a favorite of mine! I wear it alone and layer it with other pieces frequently. Also, love these bracelets stacked so separate. Perfect for your bestie or sister!
Hygge: Okay! Do you know what hygge is?! It’s a Dutch word for cozy! Cozy is basically my favorie word of all time. I haven’t played this game but, I really want to! Such a fun and unique gift idea! Add to a stocking or bring as a host gift to a holiday party! Might even get a chance to play during the festivities!
Lip treatment/candle: I love how Nordstrom comes out with their holiday gift sets. The candles and lip treatment set are great for breaking up and gifting to friends, teachers, family, or again in a stocking! The brands are amazing. It’s also fun to gift as is with the fun holiday packaging.
Pajamas and lounge wear: The black lounge set is amazing!! Soooo soft and a fabulous price point. Perfect for your mom, bestie, or self! It’s a classic fit which is great for anyone on your list. As for the pajamas, I’m a sucker for printed jammies and a pair of flannel printed jammies during the holiday season is so lovely! PJ Salvage makes the best sets. So many options and so cozy. I love the set I have.
Headband: Headbands aren’t for everyone. Some aren’t a fan But, if you know someone who enjoys a good hair accessory this crystal knotted option is super fun. Love the glam for the winter months and the berry hue. Also, a great price point.
Body wash: Philosophy has been a favorite brand of mine for years and years! The scents are so fun and the wash lasts forever! Perfect for adding to a little gift basket. Throw in a pair of socks, candle, with body wash and you’ve got a sweet care package with amazing brands in tow.G
Gift guide for him! These are our favorites for Nick! Simple pieces and classic. Things that will likely be a great option for most of the men in your life!
Robert Barakett tee: These tee’s are a splurge. Around $69. But, such a plush and quality fabric. One of those dressy tee options. Will look great with jeans and a bomber or dress pants and a blazer. Something the guy in your life might not buy for himself but, gifting will be welcome! SIZING: Nick wears a large in short sleeve tshirts. We stick with the L for these tshirts as well.
Underwear: Lululemon makes a mean pair of men’s boxer briefs! haha! Nick loves these. They are an investment but, again a great option for adding something a bit more luxe to the life of the man in your life.
Joggers/half zip: Vuori is a favorite brand! Their clothing is so soft and comfy. Their joggers and half zips are slim, light weight, and so soft! A great put together athleisure look.
Happy socks: We love Happy socks! They have some super fun prints that add a bit of flare to a dress pant or jeans look! Perfect stocking stuffer gift.
Bomber jacket: This green bomber is so great! The price point is even better! Nick has it in green, black, and tan! It’s a winner for sure and so fun to wear with the Robert Barakett tee.
Leather watch band: This watch band is really cool! Nick doesn’t have it but, I think he should! Maybe a stocking stuffer he will get this year! hehe. It’s got a rubber underside to help wick away moisture. Love this for dressing up an apple watch wearer!

Holiday gift guides for kids:
A little something for everyone! I love activity based gifts for kids. Toys are fun and definitely serve a purpose but, for the most part our kids play with them for a bit and then they sit on the floor dumped out of bins and just create messes. We try to opt for things that will be great for a while to come. Probably less exciting because they’re not wrapped with a bow. But, in the long run great for daily life.
Bean bag chair/kids plush chair: Kyrie and Kashmir both had the kids PB chair (like navy blue chair) They lived in these things!! Wore them out and had to toss them they were so loved on. They feel special getting their own seat and it’s so comfy! Add a blanket wrapped under the tree and a book or movie! The sweetest cozy set up gift idea. This year we are switching things up and getting bean bag chairs! I love this football option. They also have a basketball and more traditional bean bags. Something the kids can use for years to come!
Magna-tiles: These things are the best! Inspires so much creativity and super easy clean up with it all being magnetic! We have put these on the list for Kyrie three years in a row. Great option for inspiring creative play!
Teeny mates: For the sports lover in your life! These things are truly teeny. haha! But, Kashmir loooves them! He creates his own football games and some sets come with lockers and benches for even more fun!
Origami: Kashmir has been doing origami projects in his class the entire year and really enjoys it! He and Nick made a couple this past weekend. Gifting an Origami kit to a niece, nephew, your child, etc. would be such a fun gift. Applicable to so many ages and great for boys and girls!
Basketball hoop: In door basketball hoop. Now that we are in Georgia and Fall has commenced we have come to know it gets cold here!! Much colder than where we lived in California. Making it less likely that the boys will want to go outside and shoot hoops. It also gets dark so early these days. Snagging a hoop with the net is a great option for staying active for the cold months while warm inside.
Light up tracing pad/light up color board: Once again an option for sparking creativity. Love these sets! The color board by Crayola is great for the car too! The markers fit inside the back and there’s no paper to lug around for doodling. It is on the larger side but still a great option for coloring without all the extra pieces and messes. For an older child around 1st or 2nd grade the tracing light up pad would be great! We are adding this to our shopping cart for Kashmir this year.
Nugget: If you have little ones at home the Nugget is such a great gift! We got one last year and honestly, I think our boys are a bit too old for it. They aren’t creating forts or rolling around on them like we thought. It’s become a lounge piece for sure. But, if you have toddlers 2-5 seems like a great age! Kashmir and Kyrie played with it for a while but, it didn’t last. We would have gotten more use out of it had the boys been younger when we got one.
Kids cookbook: Kashmir brought this cookbook home from the school library. We made scones from it and they turned out great! He loves that it is made for kids Feels special to him.
