My Holiday Gift Guide

If you are an anything like me, you're constantly thinking about shopping but the second it's time to make a wishlist, you suddenly have no clue what to ask for. To help make things easier, I’ve put together a curated guide featuring items I personally own, love, and believe are worth the investment. This list strikes a balance between luxury, high-end pieces and thoughtful, more affordable options, ensuring there’s something for everyone to consider.

Here are my top recommendations for gifts that will elevate your everyday routine and add a little joy to the season.

• Anthropologie Coffee Cups - A more budget-friendly option that still feels elevated, Anthropologie coffee cups bring charm and personality to your daily routine. I love sipping my morning brew from their fun and stylish designs—they instantly make any day feel a little more special. I have the white hearts one and might treat myself to another this Black Friday!

• Dyson Airwrap + Dyson Airstraight - We all know how much I love Dyson hair products, I've mentioned them being worth the price tag multiple times on my blog. I own both, and let me tell you—they’re game-changers. The Airwrap gives you bouncy curls and a blowout finish without extreme heat, while the Airstraight makes achieving sleek, shiny hair so easy. They’ve completely transformed how I do my hair, and if you’re on the fence, I promise they’re worth the hype. Plus the they're both $100 off right now!

• Nespresso VertuoPlus White & Aeroccino3 Milk Frother - I actually just got this and haven't had the time to try it yet. It is definitely an indulgence but I have been wanting this for over a year! I love starting my mornings with a creamy, café-quality latte or cappuccino made right at home, and with all the sales going on right now I figured there is no time like the present to treat myself!

• Rhode Lip Balms - I have been repurchasing Rhode lip balms since they first launched in 2022 and I have never been more obsessed with any lip balm. I keep one in my purse, work bag, nightstand, car, pretty much everywhere. They are affordable yet elevate any look. The formula is amazing and they make your lips feel so soft. 10/10 recommend!

• Makeup Bags from Moon Nude - I’m obsessed with my Moon Nude makeup bags! They’re perfect for keeping my beauty essentials organized at home or on the go. The minimal design is both practical and beautiful, making them an affordable luxury. Plus they're perfect for travel!

• Parke Sweatshirt - I finally bit the bullet on this sweatshirt after spending months debating it. I am so glad I did as it is the most comfy sweatshirt I have ever owned. It is definitely a bit of a splurge but I can assure you that once you put it on, you will never want to take it off. I have their mockneck in the grey with navy detailing and plan on living in it all winter.

• Maison Francis Kurkdjian Perfume - These perfumes are some of the most elegant and refined scents, and my personal favorite is Gentle Fluidity. It’s an investment, but the fragrance is timeless, sophisticated, and worth every penny. If you’re looking to elevate your signature scent, this is the one.

• Gisou Hair Perfume - For something a little different, consider Gisou Hair Perfume. Not only does it leave your hair smelling divine, but it’s also infused with honey to add a touch of nourishment and shine. It’s a unique and luxurious addition to any beauty routine that makes every day feel special. Everytime I wear this, I get so many compliments and it is a much more affordable price point.
