Gifts for Home and Kitchen
Costa Farms Live Christmas Tree, $25.59 (was $31.99) : Recipients can easily spruce (get it) up a tablescape during the season with this tree, then add it to their live plant collection during non-Christmas months.
The Original Nessie Ladle, $17.77 (was $19.95): Because it's always more fun to dip soup with the Lochness Monster. This fun tool will bring a smile to everyone's face.
The Original Pro Chopper, $29.99 (was $49.99): I have one of these and use it ALL the time. From chopping one or two vegetables for different soups or casseroles to making entire salads this is an absolute must-have.
Onion Holder for Slicing, $12.98 (was $15.97): And to think...I've been chopping onions by holding them with my hands my entire life. I might have to gift myself one of these baddies.
Lenox Serveware Hosting the Holidays Cheese Plate and Knife Set, $24.99: An instant classic! And with such a variety of pieces in this collection, your Secret Santa or Dirty Santa recipient can easily add on with other classic pieces.
Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day Holiday Hand Soap Set, $22.62 (was $24.99(: A more "clean" option for each sink in the home. These winter scents are a great option for anyone who's into hand-washing (which hopefully is everyone you know).
Kate Spade New York Cherry Dot Kitchen Towel and Hot Pad Set, $27.52: Leave it to Kate Spade to bring a smile to faces and light up a room, this time with cheery kitchen pieces. The temps outside might be frigid, but this pattern will at least help us remember spring is next up on the calendar.
Braided Coasters - set of 8, $8.98: Available in so many different colors, these cute coasters will work in any room or office space.
Bamboo Charcuterie Board Gift Set, $28.99 (was $36.99): I'm a firm believer in charcuterie. Not only is it an easy option for an impromptu gathering, but it's also fun to put together for an easy at-home meal.
Gifts for a Techie
Mobile Phone Magnifier, $29.99: Who doesn't occasionally watch TV, YouTube, etc. on their phone? This is such an easy (and portable) way to easily watch without squinting.
Phone Stand with Bluetooth Speaker and Charging Function: Handsfree talking, watching and/or listening, but a bit better than a phone speaker.
Beanie with Rechargable Headlamp: For anyone outside after the sun goes down (and this time of year, that's nearly all of us), this will be invaluable.
For the Person Who Needs a Day Off
Snuggle Sac Buttery Throw Blanket, $29.99: I don't think there's a thing as "too many" throws. This one looks so cozy there might be a fight around the Christmas tree for it.
Kiehl's Body and Haircare Gift Set, $28.05 (was $33.00): Who doesn't love a chance to try more high-end products either at home (when you run out of your go-to, or while traveling? This product quad will help hydrate hair and skin during the winter months.
C.O. Bigelow Rose Salve 3-Pack, $24.00: I think this salve might be magic. One for a bag, one for a desk, one for a vanity. It's amazing to help hydrate lips and skin, but I love it to help tame staticky hair during this time of year.
Memory Foam Slippers, $24.99: There's something about a day off and sliding your feet into a thick pair of cozy slippers. Another item you can never have too many of.
Essential Oil Diffuser, $20.99 (was $24.99) : Great for home or office this is a clean way to add a favorite scent to any space.
Cold Kicker Shower Steamers, $24.99 : I know they say "Cold Kicker," BUT, with the peppermint and eucalyptus essential oil blend, these are just SO nice in general - cold or not!
The Ultimate Back Scratcher, Scalp Massager and Exfoliator, $19.99 : It can't just be me whose skin gets so itchy this time of year. And while I can reach most places, sometimes an assist is necessary for the back. What's great about this tool? Add lotion to help hydrate the itchiest can't reach places.
Voluspa White Cypress Small Jar Candle, $26.00 : For the person who enjoys the finer things, this is one of the finest. This wintery aromatic concoction is so luxurious and the jar is so pretty the recipient will absolutley find a second use for it.
Just for Fun
Albanese Candy 5lb Gummy Bear Bag, $22.43: I might be partial since these are made in Indiana, BUT, they are absolutely the best gummy bears in the entire world. Your friend, family member or coworker will love snacking on these during movie night, at their desk or for no other reason than just because they're so delicious.
The Ultimate Snack Pack, $27.97: I love this idea so much! With a few healthy options mixed amongst the mostly not-so-healthy ones, who wouldn't be thrilled to open this?
1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle, $19.99 (was $25.19): This isn't just a regular puzzle - it's a puzzle within a puzzle, complete with audio and clues to help solve an additional mystery.
First to Worst Party Game, $19.99: A fun game for New Year's for friends or family - even for kids 8+. Perfect game to play while snowed in and snacking on some gummy bears (hint, hint).
Favorite Variety Puzzle Books, 8-Pack, $20.95: I'm a huge fan of these to help encourage us to put down the screen. Because we rarely play a game without a screen present, these are somehow nostalgic and modern all at the same time.
How to Tell if your Cat is Plotting to Kill You, $16.99: For all of us cat people out there, we probably already suspect the thought has gone through their heads multiple times. This hilarious read is full of fun and laughs.
365 New Words a Year Page-a-Day Calendar: You know all the smarty-pants-people in your life will literally be giddy to get this. But hey, since they'll be learning new words, maybe you'll pick up a little something too.
For the Purveyor of Warm Beverages
The Unemployed Philosophers Guild Birds on a Wire Heat Changing Mug, $19.95: One can never have too many fun mugs, and this definitely qualifies. So cute!
Tea Drops Holiday Sampler Box, $31.99 (was $39.99): I absolutely love this! Organic and micro-plastic free, these loose leaf tea drops dissolve in seconds after adding hot water. Genious idea!
Mt. Comfort Coffee Organic Peru Medium Roast: As a coffee drinker, I so appreciate gifts of organic whole bean coffee. If you're not a grinder of beans, I don't want to tell you what to do...BUT...you maybe should become a grinder of beans:)
4-in-1 Milk Frother and Steamer, $28.48: For the next-level brewers this will be a fun accessory.
Owala SmoothSip Slider Insulated Steel Coffee Tumbler: With a leak proof lid, this will become a go-to option to tote around morning or afternoon hot drinks. It's available in 11 color options, but I just love this neutral "Vanilla-Bean."
Winter Disposable Cups: Insulated mugs are great, BUT, sometimes we just need ones that can easily be tossed. These winter options are SO fun - no overpriced chain coffee company required:)
