If I could only pick a few things for the holidays to give as Christmas gifts, this would be it!
I dreamed of owning htis for an entire year. I saved HUNDREDS of recipes on TikTok and Instagram. Michael can attest to the fact that I was obsessed with finding the perfect frozen treat maker. And let me tell you, it was worth the wait! This thing is a game-changer. Whether you’re making slushies, sorbet, gelato, or smoothie bowls, the Creami does it all. Plus, it takes up minimal counter space and honestly, it’s become my favorite way to cool off after a long day of work. If you know someone who loves frozen treats or is always looking for a fun kitchen gadget, this is absolutely it.
Michael spent months researching this speaker for me, and honestly, it was one of the best gifts I’ve ever received. I use it constantly—whether I’m traveling, hiking, or dictating my books while I’m working. The sound quality is incredible, the battery life is unreal, and it’s durable enough to handle whatever adventure I throw at it. It’s compact enough to toss in your bag but powerful enough to fill a room. If you know someone who loves music, loves being outdoors, or is always on the move, this is absolutely the gift to get them!
The best hiking boots! I’ve had mine for years and they are great for hiking but are comfortable enough for all day! These are the best seller for me for the entire year. I walked 100+ miles in them doing the Cotswold Way!
I got these sunglasses for Christmas a few years ago and love them. I actually left mine on a plane this year and got the EXACT same pair. Then a couple years later I left them in a hotel room. YEP, bought them again. They are the best. For a cheaper alternative, try goodr!
This blanket looks so similar to the Lola one but is a much better price! So many beautiful colors to choose from!
This makes such a great stocking stuffer or Saint Nicholas gift! I always take these with me to Christmas Markets!
This is such a game-changer for your beauty routine! It’s painless, quick, and honestly works like magic. I use this religiously and it’s become a non-negotiable in my skincare lineup. The best part? It’s so discreet and travel-friendly, so you can toss it in your makeup bag for trips. Whether you’re dealing with peach fuzz or just want a smoother complexion, this little device does the trick without any of the hassle of waxing or plucking. It’s affordable, effective, and makes such a great gift for anyone who loves a good beauty find!
This is the tripod Michael spent months (maybe even a full calendar year) researching this tripod. We use it for both our camera and for the phone!
I also have this Tripod which I LOVE for walking because it open and closes SUPER quick for maxiumum speed and less embarrassment of me filming in public.
I’ve had this coat for YEARS and it’s been with me everywhere. I’ve worn it at Christmas markets across Europe, trekked through Finland in the freezing cold, braved Alaska’s brutal winters, and it still looks and performs like the day I bought it. This is the kind of investment piece that actually pays for itself because you’ll wear it forever. It’s durable, warm, timeless, and honestly, it’s my go-to for any winter adventure. If you’re buying for someone who actually spends time outdoors in the cold or just needs a coat that won’t quit, this is it. Quality over quantity, always.
I love gifts that people can actually use! Whether you want to make a bubbly drink or you want to make a cheaper version of a diet coke, this is a great git they can use for years. There are many versions but I like this one best.
In these guides you’ll be able to click on any item in the images and it will take you directly to each.
