Holiday gift guide for: EVERYONE
As usual, the year has flown on by and we’re already preparing for “the most wonderful time of the year.” In between roasting turkeys, putting up holiday decor and planning festivities it can also be the most stressful time of the year. Especially when it comes to checking off your holiday shopping list. Whether someone is difficult to shop for or you’re in need of some last minute present ideas or inspiration, my holiday gift guide is here to help. I’ll be breaking down my gift guides into 3 different blog posts. We’re starting off with universal gift ideas. Anyone and everyone on your holiday list will appreciate and enjoy these items.

Mug: An exciting gift for any coffee and tea addict. You can even package it together with their favorite tea bags, coffee pods or even a few packets of hot cocoa.
Portable Speaker: A JBL wireless bluetooth speaker that is lightweight, water-proof and perfect for travel. Highly rated and reviewed on Amazon for its sharp quality of sound and decent price.
Charcuterie Board: Gift this to the hostess with the mostest. Made out of 100% natural bamboo, this charcuterie board also comes with four stainless steel serving utensils. For an added treat include various cheeses, meats, nuts, fruits and crackers.
Charging station: With many of our every day essentials being electronics (phones, AirPods, smart watches, etc.) a charging station would make life easier for anyone that is always on the go.
Candles: After a hard day at work, I love to light a candle to help de-stress and unwind. Bath and Body Works has a variety of candles and scents at a reasonable price, $24.50. Be on the look out for their sales (which happen often) where candles can be anywhere from 20%-50% off.
QuayxDesi High Key Sunglasses: A Quay collaboration with Designs Perkins, who is also my favorite beauty guru/Youtuber, the “High Key” Aviators compliment and flatter EVERYONE. Available in 2 different sizes, The “High Key MINI” are smaller in comparison to the original “High Key”. If you’re not sure which one to get, the mini is ideal for women and for those with smaller faces, while most men can rock the original “High Key”. With a multitude of colors to chose from the “Black Fade” is my top pick.
Perfume/Cologne: Picking out a fragrance can be tricky. Sephora every year creates a holiday set with samples of the best selling perfumes for women and colognes for men. A scent certificate is included in each box, which can be redeemed for a full size bottle at no extra cost.
Miraval: A Rosé wine produced in Provence, France and in partnership with Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and the Perrin family. Based on another blogger’s recommendation (Sivan Ayla Richards) this light, refreshing wine is delicious for any occasion.
Photos: Print out your photos in various sizes with the Print Studio app. You can also create calendars, photobooks, collages, canvas prints, posters, ornaments and greeting cards just to name a few. I personally use them to print out mini polaroids of my travel adventures.
Luggage: Speaking of travel, this gift idea is for my fellow globetrotters. While I’m a fan of high end travel brands, I’m not a big fan of their prices. This 2-piece hard shell set found on Amazon includes the 21 inch and 30 inch luggage for $129.98. Durable and sleek, the design is practically a steal for what you get.
Beeropoly: Spice up a party with a new drinking game. Loved by many on Uncommongoods.com, Beeropoly can be done with beer, wine or your fave liquor. Roll the dice and complete a series of challenges to win.
Spa Day: If all else fails, give the gift of rest and relaxation with a gift card they can use for a massage, facial or mani/pedi.
