My 2021 Holiday Gift Guide
The holidays are here! It's the best of times and the worst of times. But, we like to focus on the positive here!
There is no better feeling than giving a gift to someone you love. If you're in a pinch and looking for things to get for your loved ones, I've got you!
I've added my Christmas list and some things that I love that I know you will love too!
Okay, here we go!
My Christmas Wish List
Here's what I'm asking for this year:
Ring Light
I've been making more video content, and I plan on diving in deep in the new year. I think that a ring light would be perfect for filming TikTok's and Instagram Reels.
Revlon Hot Air Brush
This is the perfect way to get a salon-style blowout at home! It's bigger, so it's better for my thick hair, and it'll make my hair care process so much easier.
A Massage
Okay, I haven't had a massage in over 3 years, and I'm in desperate need of one! This is a great experience for anyone, and it's the ultimate relaxation. I want to go into the new year relaxed and rejuvenated.
2021 Holiday Gift Guide
Here are various gifts that I've used and absolutely loved. I can't wait for you and your loved ones to enjoy them too! Let's get to it!
Coffee
Nespresso Vertuo ($175.96)
If you know a coffee lover, this is the perfect gift. My mom got me a Nespresso for my birthday this year, and it's incredible. You get coffee shop-style coffee right at home! And there are tons of flavors, various caffeine levels, and coffee specifically for iced drinks!
Frother ($19.99)
Nothing makes a cup of coffee feel expensive more than some frothed milk on top. I got this frother on a whim at Bed Bath and Beyond, and it's bomb! It works so well, and it froths any creamer or milk you add to your coffee in less than 15 seconds!
Books
You Are a Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life, by Jen Sincero ($8.45)
This is the book I recommend to anyone who is just starting out their personal development journey or who wants to implement changes into their lives but doesn't know-how. This book integrates humor into personal development. Inner work can be fun; in fact, it's really fun if you understand the basics and why personal growth is necessary for healing.
Why Men Love Bitches, by Sherry Argov ($6.39)
I've seen this book everywhere, and I didn't understand the hype until I read it. A lot of relationship advice focuses on playing games and toxicity, but this book gives advice based on interviews from men on all things relationships. It teaches women that relationships are based on mindset, expectation, and confidence.
Breaking The Habit of Being Yourself, by Dr. Joe Dispenza ($14.49)
This book is a little more scientific, but it perfectly explains how you can create and change your reality simply by changing your thoughts. There is scientific evidence backing this. Dr. Joe Dispenza does an amazing job describing how powerful the mind is and how your habits affect your life.
(If you want more book ideas, here are 5 books I recommend for anyone interested in personal development and spirituality)
Spiritual
Journal ($8.99)
One of the best ways to start doing inner work is journaling. Journaling can do wonders, and it's the perfect way to begin learning more about yourself. There are so many journal prompts on every subject you can think of, and this is a simple gift that can help someone get closer to themselves.
Crystals (Starts at $3.95)
Crystals are a little different because you really have to know someone and what they want. Crystals are particular to each person; people use them for other things. Maybe you know someone who wants to improve their finances so you can get them a pyrite or tiger's eye. Or someone wants to improve their self-love or relationships, so you get them rose quartz. Remember to have the best intentions when picking out the crystal and cleanse it too! This is where I got my first crystals, and I absolutely love them.
Essential Oil Diffuser ($18.99)
I've been using this oil diffuser for years, and it's still going strong. Also, the mist lasts up to 9 hours for me, and it goes all throughout the night and into my morning. I like to use a lavender essential oil when going to bed, which helps me so much!
Salt Lamp ($19.97)
Himalayan salt lamps can improve your air quality, improve your sleep, and boost your mood. Also, they look beautiful!
Beauty
Mixbar Perfume Set ($13.99)
I got this set for myself before going on a trip, and it was so convenient. I was able to try all the scents before committing to one, and it was perfect for travel. This is ideal for them if you know someone who loves perfumes and fragrances!
Tree Hut Sugar Scrub ($6.49)
I can't get over how high quality these body scrubs are. They come in a ton of different scents, and they leave your skin feeling so soft and moisturized. And they have some holiday scents like Candy Cane right now!
Coconut Coffee Body Scrub/Body Cream ($12.73)
I saw someone using this on TikTok and immediately purchased it. The scent stays on your skin for hours and hours, and it smells delicious! This is the perfect duo!
Paul Mitchell Flat Iron ($106.25)
My hairdresser used this flat iron on my hair for the first time 5 years ago, and I haven't touched another one since. I found that this flat iron makes my hair so soft and shiny, and the plates are wider, so it grabs more hair at one time. It's definitely worth the investment because it lasts such a long time too!
Tech
Casetify Phone Case ($40)
I got my first Casetify case for my iPhone earlier this year, and it is so durable. I got the lower impact case, and I've dropped it so many times, and my phone is perfectly fine! There are so many designs on the website for any aesthetic, and you can customize a case with a name or initial, the perfect gift!
Bluetooth Earbuds ($49.99)
I wasn't ready to invest in AirPods, so I bought these earbuds and they work perfectly. The battery also lasts a really long time, and I only have to charge it every couple of weeks. So if you do forget, you'll be okay. They also have a few different colors you can choose from.
Miscellaneous
Water Bottle ($19.99)
You don't have to overpay for a good water bottle that keeps your water cold. I bought this water bottle on a whim, and it holds a lot of water, and it keeps my water cold overnight. It also encourages me to drink a lot of water! You can see me using it in my reels! And there are so many designs to choose from!
Letter Board ($15)
This board is perfect for writing encouraging messages to yourself and place in your room to remind yourself of them every day. If you get this for someone, you can pre-write a sweet message on it and give it to them too!
Michael Kors Purse ($126)
Last year, my mom got me this purse for Christmas, and I have not stopped using it. It's so modern looking, and I love Michael Kors purses. It's also adjustable, so you can cater it to your liking.
Nike Revolution 6 Running Shoes ($64.99)
These are the BEST shoes I have owned for the gym. I have the all-white ones, and they feel like clouds on my feet. They are so lightweight and easy to work out in. If you know someone who loves the gym or running, these are perfect for them!
Stickers (Starts at $3.50)
These stickers are so cute!! If you watch my reels, you can see that I have them on my water bottle. This year, my sister started an Etsy shop and hand-makes all of these stickers. So if you want to support a small business and love inspirational stickers, this is the place to shop!
Candles (Starts at $5)
Who doesn't love a good candle? I love candles in any form, but I find that the ones from Bath and Body worlds are my favorite. The fragrance lasts a really long time, and it's strong. Some candle scents are light, but one of these candles can make your entire space smell delicious!
