Holiday Gift Guide

It’s no lie that I am a huge fan of shopping. I just love buying… EVERYTHING! Even food shopping is fun for me 😂. But I also like to be mindful about what I buy. I don’t like to waste my time or my money buying things that I don’t think are high quality, or don’t have a real purpose to them. And this is also true when I give gifts. I want the things I give to be loved, to be used, to be luxurious (read: brings the person a sense of joy or abundance, not just an expensive gift). And given that it’s the holiday season, I figured I’d share some favorites of mine.

This is probably one of my favorite shampoo and conditioner sets - the shampoo is meant to exfoliate your scalp and feels so damn good. And the deep conditioning mask is fabulous - my hair is soft and silky without being oily afterwards (though it does require a really good rinse). I love the fact that Briogeo also creates these fabulous products without harsh chemicals - green beauty at its best!

For those of you with Entrepreneurs in your life, this is one of my favorite reads. Written by the money mindset queen, Denise Duffield Thomas, Chillpreneur is a wonderful and easy read all about creating an entrepreneurial life that works for you, instead of ruling your life. I also recommend her other book Get Rich, Lucky Bitch if your loved ones (or you!) are interested in shifting your money mindset towards abundance.

I have loved crystals for as long as I can remember, but when I came across Ha’vanah Star’s crystal grids, it took my love to a whole new level. For anyone who loves crystals and loves a little ‘woo’, these gorgeous pieces are customized for each person (although she does have some gorgeous options that are ready made, like birth signs and other themes). This is truly a wonderful gift, both unique and beautiful.

For the friends and family who love a nice bath or shower experience, this is a wonderful set. When I first used the hanahana body bar, I was in love. It’s a combination of luxurious and silky soap and the natural exfoliants, and it feels SO good. And if you want seriously deep moisturizer, the shea body butter is the real deal. I tend to love whipped/scented lotions just for the experience, so I have to say that this is neither of those things. It is a proper shea butter and melts on your skin as you apply. After a nice shower and exfoliation, this body butter does a fab job of leaving your skin soft and hydrated.

This Swiss brand of beautifully designed notebooks, sketch pads, posters and cards is such a lovely mix of beautiful art and quality stationary. For anyone who loves paper goods, Common Modern is a wonderful brand full of bright, colorful and inspiring things that get you ready to write your heart out.

For the yogis in your life, Liforme has the most beautiful of yoga mats, and the best part? They’re made extra grippy and have markings on the mat to show you where you should be positioning your hands and feet. So whether it’s your first down dog, or you’re a sweaty, yoga loving addict, they’ve got a gorgeous mat for you.

I am a total candle addict and I love the ones that fill a room with their incredible scent. But I also can’t help but love anything a sense of humor, especially when it’s so luxe too. Goop is known to push the boundaries of ‘typical’ products, and this candle series certainly does that. So for those you know who have a great sense of humor and love a good scent, this is a fab combo of both.

Obviously I couldn’t leave out one of my all time favorite things - FOOD! For the cooks in your lives, this is a wonderful cookbook full of delicious, flavorful (obvi given the title 😂) recipes that are sure to please. I highly recommend the Chamoy Carrots 🤤.
