…or for anybody, really. I’d like to think there is something for everyone on this guide – and at all different price points! Get your siblings to go in on a larger item together, or gather a few of these items to bundle up for teachers, neighbors, or friends that seem to have everything.
- Breville Smart Toaster Oven + Air Fryer ($319 on sale) – The most used tool in our kitchen, BAR NONE. We use this all day long, every single day. Well, I should clarify… we’ve been using the 5+yr old model every single day the last five years and are finally due for a new one. I just bought us this one while it’s on sale for Black Friday (this 20%+ off literally only happens like once a year for Breville appliances). You can do EVERYTHING in this little guy and it is so much more convenient than heating your entire normal oven. Quick, efficient, reliable, consistent. Highly recommend, if you have the counter/storage space in your home. Also sold at WillamsSonoma and Crate+Barrel .
- Pura Diffuser + Fragances ($77ish) – I didn’t want to buy into the hype of these, but I finally caved during a big sale they had and grabbed a couple for our bedroom and living room last spring. Well… let’s just say that now I have them in nearly every corner of the house and have a running subscription of my favorite scents. Lol. Big fan. Would be such an easy, impactful gift for anyone on your list. There are often sales and promo code you can add to get this for a much lower price. My favorite scents are: White Bergamot by Studio McGee (often sold out on Pura, so check on McgeeandCo for their stock), Sea Salt Driftwood by Studio McGee, Wild Sage by Studio McGee, and LAFCO’s Chamomile Lavender.
- Fluted Glass Votive ($12) – Such a darling decor piece that could be dressed up or down with some of your other favorite things. If I were shopping for a friend, I’d bundle this with a cute Geometry Kitchen Towel (use code ZOE15 for up to 35% off), some BetterGreens (use code ZOE) or Rookie Sleep (use code ZOECORINNE), and some fresh baked cookies.
- Coop Home Goods Pillow ($72+ or wait for the 20% sale!) – Best pillow you will ever own. Get one for yourself, your husband, your parents/in-laws, your bestie. They will thank you again and again. It’s the thing everyone wants, but no one wants to spend their own money on, ya know?
- SortJoy Storage Bins ($8+) – Take advantage of their Black Friday sale going on right now. It’s their only sale that happens once a year – 25% off the entire site. You can get a set of three Petite Flex Bins and use it as the container for each small gift you’re giving (like the votive/towel/drink bundle above!), or grab some of the large sized Flex or Sulpted bins for your significant other or parents. I use these in every room in our home. I have every size and product, and I’m still looking for excuses to buy more 😉
- Modern Custom Photo Calendar ($42) – This one requires a little more intention and planning to get right, if you’re going to use family photos to customize with. But could also be stunning with just some simple free stock images or free public domain art uploaded to it for each month.
- Scalloped Marble Canister ($47) – A simple, elevated gift for the person who may have everything. Small, but substantial. Could go literally anywhere in the home or office. 30% off right now with the Mcgee & Co. BF sale.
- Hatch Restore Sound Machine ($199) – Anyone else now require some sort of white noise to sleep since having children? Just me? Lol. This one is beautiful and multipurpose, with so many different sounds to choose from, more ambiant lighting, and other customizable settings and routines you can program into your day. I don’t own one, but it’s on my list. This does require a monthly subscription.
- Wood Dish Brush ($12) – Have and love. The bristles are so soft and thick and work great with everything I’ve used it on so far. And so much prettier than a sponge.
- Wood Herb Stripper ($19) – A handy and beautiful tool for the person who loves to cook! Don’t get me started on how tedious a job it is to hand pick thyme.
- Petrified Wood Coaster Set ($16 for 4) – We have a similar set (from West Elm) and they are so beautiful and unique. Each one will look different, so don’t count on them looking exactly like the product image online (in fact, look at the product images for West Elm and you’ll see that they look so different!) but the texture, weight and one-of-a-kind beauty make them a great gift for anyone. This would be another great option to bundle with any of the other small items mentioned previously.
- Nécessaire Hand Duo ($50) – As someone who tends to have perpetually cracked knuckles all through winter, I would love this gift 🙂 I’ve been wanting to try this brand for a couple years now, and seem to hear the best things about their lotion. This limited time set comes with their hand cream AND retinol, which is a skin repair agent.
- Marble Tablet/Cookbook Stand ($32) – I was cooking dinner recently and was going back and forth to reference the recipe in the cookbook I was using and it just felt so annoying. By the end, I literally couldn’t stop thinking about how badly I wanted to prop the cookbook up onto something so it was easier to turn to and reference at eye level. Anyways… I like this one. It’s pretty and seems like it’d be heavy enough to hold up a thicker book, since it has the high back?
- Minimalist Spice Organizer Set ($32) – I bought this for myself a couple of years ago and every time I open my spice drawer is brings me SO MUCH HAPPINESS. It is simple and clean and so stunning. It comes with all the jars, lids, stickers, and even a little funnel to transfer spices from old containers into the new ones. It took me one afternoon to complete this spice organization set and I would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone that hasn’t done this already.
