What a year! The holidays are finally here! And while we’re doing our best to make sure the products we feature will arrive in time, shipping times are especially tricky this year, so we suggest shopping as early as you can.
Stock and shipping times can vary depending on where you live, which product you purchase, and more. So order earlier than you think you need to and be sure to double-check the retailers’ websites for shipping information to ensure that your gift will arrive in time for when you need it.
1. A bestselling calligraphy book that'll help them learn the art form of fancy lettering, and a set of brush pens so they can start ~write~ away. It's a beginner's guide and has 15 in-book writing projects that'll give them all the practice they need.
2. A candle that'll make them LOL because it's just too accurate. I'll burn as slowly as the romance novel they're currently reading and is made with a blend of orange blossom, coffee, vanilla, patchouli, and cedarwood that makes it the perfect combination of citrusy and earthy scents.
3. A Golden Girls picture book inspired by the TV show they grew up watching and still watch reruns of. It's filled with illustrations of their favourite girl gang and the lyrics of the iconic theme song (which is objectively still a bop).
4. A cute cat mug, because they have a not-so-secret obsession with cats and look for every opportunity to showcase it. This mug radiates Caturday vibes and it comes with a small kitty-shaped spoon to stir their coffee.
5. A beautiful jewellery box that'll give a place to stash and display their growing collection of necklaces, bracelets, and rings. It has three large drawers that'll store their most precious baubles without taking up too much space.
6. A set of fancy jams that'll take their charcuterie board game to the next level. It comes with a mix of classic fruity jams and more unique wine-based jellies for when they want to try something different.
7. A sleep mask that’ll block out any light so they'll be able to snooze anytime, anywhere (because let’s face it, they’re in bed before the sun sets). It’s made of 100% silk and has a thick, stretchy band across the back that won't get tangled in their hair.
8. A pyjama set that they'll love wearing when they're home (which is pretty much every night, TBH). Between the light, satiny material and elegant floral pattern, this will probably become their most stylish set of PJs in their collection.
9. A copy of Joanna Gaines' book Homebody: A Guide to Creating Spaces You Never Want to Leave that'll prove staying home is the new going out. It's all about how their home can reflect their personality through decorations and is filled with tons of photos that'll inspire them to make their space more homey.
10. A sweater vest that'll have them looking equal parts cute and studious. They can wear it alone or style it with a button-up shirt to create a chic fall or winter outfit.
11. A knitting set, because they either love to knit or have always wanted to learn. It'll help them ~unwind~ after a long day and inspire them to make a bunch of knitted goodies (like scarves, hats, and blankets).
12. A set of glass planters that'll make their greenery look like home decor. It's the perfect size for a small plant, or they can use it to grow a cutting for propagation.
13. A crossbody bag that they'll never want to leave the house without. It's spacious enough to hold all their essentials (like snacks), and it has two straps so they want to use it as a clutch, wallet, or wristlet.
14. A set of whimsical fairy lights that'll emit a warm glow, creating the perfect mood for their evening indoors. The string comes with 50 clothespins so they can hang a bunch of pictures or postcards, without blocking the light.
15. A pair of platform Oxfords with thick rubber soles that make them as comfortable as they are stylish (two things that are super important to them). These shoes are also water-resistant, meaning they can weather a bit of rain.
16. A travel-friendly Kindle that'll let them carry their impressive library collection with them at all times. Even though they really like reading a print book, they're willing to admit the benefits of a Kindle.
17. A popcorn gift set that'll make the perfect snack for their next movie night. Their cupboards are always full with the best treats, and the set comes with three types of seasoning so they can choose sweet, salty, or spicy.
18. A copy of Mary Berg's latest cookbook that'll inspire them to add a few new homecooked meals to their menu. It has over 100 tasty recipes and reviewers love how easy the instructions are to follow (especially for amateur cooks).
19. A super cute apron that'll help them look the part when they whip up their next Insta-worthy dessert. It'll protect their clothes from stains while they bake, and it has an adjustable tie at the waist and a large pocket in the front.
20. A Click and Grow countertop garden that'll turn their kitchen into a personal vegetable plot. It can grow three plants at a time so they can use fresh produce in their cooking year-round that’s completely free of herbicides or pesticides.
21. A wooden page holder that'll fit on their finger like a ring. It'll help them hold their book open, because book-induced hand cramps are a thing.
22. A throw blanket so they can assume their true identity as a human burrito while they binge watch Grace & Frankie. It has a colourful plaid print that’ll add a rustic vibe to their decor.
23. A packet of white hot chocolate mix that'll magically turn blue when they add hot water or milk. Their favourite way to relax is to enjoy a hot beverage, and this one has a rich, creamy texture and tastes as sweet as a birthday cake.
24. A large ceramic mug with a removable stainless steel infuser that'll brew a fresh and flavourful cup of tea for them to enjoy. It comes with a lid that'll seal in heat to keep their drink warm for longer.
25. A set loose leaf tea samples from DavidsTea that'll give them an opportunity to try some new brews. There are 12 flavours inspired by their favourite desserts and they're so good, they'll satisfy even the sweetest sweet tooth.
26. A set of beautifully-illustrated greeting cards because they love sending a handwritten letters more than an email or a text message. They come with a little cardboard box that's filled with dividers so they can keep all their letters organized.
27. A pack of wax seals that'll make the next letter they send extra special. They have an adhesive backing so they won't need to warm up the wax every time.
28. A pair of fluffy faux fur slippers that'll keep their feet warm as heck and looking good while doing it. They have grippy rubber soles that’ll save them from sliding on their hardwood floors.
29. An adult colouring book that’ll make them want to cancel their non-existent plans for a night of colouring! It’s filled with a bunch of funny and sassy quotes that they’ve definitely said before, and colouring them in will help them relax.
30. A pack of hydrating sheet masks that they'll want around for their next at-home spa day. They're obsessed with sheet masks, and these ones are packed with essential oils that'll help hydrate their skin all winter long.
31. A bamboo bathroom tray that'll keep all their creature comforts close by while they enjoy a relaxing soak. It has a stand to prop up their book, tablet, or eReader, and two built-in cup holders for a wine glass, coffee mug, or small candle.
32. A box of beautiful bath bombs because they believe no bath is complete without one. Each bath bomb will fill their tub with a blend of essential oils that'll help them relax.
33. And finally, a boxset of the To All The Boys I've Loved Before series they'll probably love because the main character Lara Jean is so relatable. Her favourite things to do are bake, read, scrapbook, stay in and watch ’80s romcoms, and shop for the best vintage clothing — that’s them to a tee!
