Buying gifts for anyone other than my immediate family is so stressful (IMO) because I want it to make sense for the person I am buying for. I have found a few things that I give out frequently that people absolutely love, so I am here to share those! I am also going to share gift guides for kids, “for her”, and “for him” in separate posts. I made sure to include various price points to fit any budget. The goal of this post is to give you some inspiration for those you need to buy for in your own life.
It’s important to remember that while gifts are super fun to give/receive, you don’t need to break the bank to do so. Last year, my sister and I made cookie boxes for everyone. We gathered a bunch of cookie recipes and spent two days making everything – it was so fun and everyone loved their boxes! Also, making a pie from scratch is such a nice gesture.. and delicious. Lastly, if you search tiktok for DIY gifts, you will find a plethora. I keep seeing this simple candle making video and I think I am going to give that a try. What I am trying to get across is that most people are so grateful for the littlest thing, so you don’t need to go crazy.
Let’s jump in to the gifts now, shall we?
These are gift ideas for any person in your life. Perfect for a host, aunt, cousin, coworker, etc. Gifts that everyone loves:
This one retails for $70 and comes in 24 scents that sound incredible. I haven’t used this specific company before (the one I used to use seems to have disappeared from Instagram/the internet lol), but this one has fantastic reviews. The dough bowl candles I have gifted in the past have been huge hits – they’re beautiful, smell wonderful and give the ultimate cozy vibes.
These blankets are the softest and comfiest blankets I have ever bought, but they can be pricey! I find them heavily discounted at Nordstrom Rack though (which is what I linked!) and always grab a few of these for gifts. Everyone I gift these to use them throughout the year. On my LTK, I am going to link a couple for you!
This is such a luxurious hand wash. This specific scent is my absolute favorite (I actually have this perfume as well) and it lasts for a long time. This is perfect for a main bathroom where guests will frequent. My mom is obsessed with this. We pair it with the matching hand lotion (linked here). There are other scents I absolutely love that I will share on my LTK as well!
Ok, this one might seem kind of random because it’s cheese and meat lol, but everyone loves this! My mom actually showed me this brand when I was younger and needed a gift for an old boss. There are so many different sets available to fit your budget. This is such an easy gift to grab and I swear the person you are gifting it to will love it. The quality of the products is excellent too!
I also love, love, LOVE the stonewall kitchen sets. My in-laws live in New England and we always pop in to their store when we visit. The quality is excellent and they have such awesome products. Here is the link to one I have actually received and the pancakes were literally the best I have ever had. Here is another that I think I am going to buy for someone! Browse the selection.. you can’t go wrong.
I bought this for myself back in May and I truly use this every single day. This bathrobe feels so much more expensive than it is ($35.10). I bought the light grey and it is just the most beautiful color ever. I have also seen the olive color and it’s beautiful. Couldn’t recommend this enough. Whoever you gift this to will love it!
I don’t personally have one of these (I prefer a physical book), but I have gifted these and they have been a hit. I do think it’s important to know if the person you are looking to purchase this for prefers a physical book or if they could enjoy this. This specific kindle is easier on the eyes, doesn’t glare and is waterproof, so you can bring to the beach or pool!
7. Stanley Iceflow Flip Straw Tumbler – 30 oz
I have the traditional Stanley everyone knows – you know, the one with the handle. It’s huge (40 oz) and the handle is definitely convenient, but if that thing tips over, water (or whatever you filled it with lol) is going everywhere and I don’t love that. If I could do it all over, I would grab this one. I have seen a lot of 5 star reviews on it. I like that the straw folds down, so if the tumbler is on its side, water isn’t going to come out.
I hope you enjoyed this gift idea list! I am going to be publishing “gifts for him” tomorrow, “gifts for her” Friday and “gifts for the kiddos” on Saturday! What are some of your favorite gifts to get people? Leave it in the comments!!
Until next time,
