2020 GIFT GUIDE (THE THINGS I’M WISHING FOR THIS CHRISTMAS)

Every year I do just one holiday gift guide and it consists of things I’m wishing for this Christmas, things I’m going to gift, and things I fell in love with this year.

1. Puffer Coat – I’ve been a puffer coat fan for 5+ years and I still wear my hunter green knee length puffer from Target several years back. (Similar green one here and 50% off at checkout!) But a cropped puffer has been on my wish list for a while now and I finally found one from H&M that’s plenty puffy, super reasonably priced, and not shiny. (Currently 30% off and members get an extra 10% off!)

2. Ring Light – Every Youtuber, makeup guru, and influencer has a ring light and they swear by how much it helps with lighting. I’m intrigued!

3. Red Aspen Nails – Again with the influencers doing their job. I’ve seen a lot of really positive reviews about Red Aspen press on nails from people I trust on Instagram. They’re saying they’re incredibly easy to apply and stay on for 2 weeks. Adding the colors Kami Wears Khaki, Toasted Marshmallow, and Moonlight Gray to my cart.

4. Camera Tripod – The upgraded version of the basic model tripod I started with. It’s a great gift idea for photographers or even business owners who photograph their own content!

5. Heating Pad – Chris makes fun of me every time I say I want a heating pad for Christmas! 🙂 Some want toys and gadgets…I just want a heating pad. Great for people who have back pain, shoulder stress induced headaches, cramps, etc!

6. Fabric Shaver – Ok maybe I am getting older cause what kid has a heating pad and fabric shaver on their Christmas list!? From a practical standpoint though, I think everyone should have one of these. Sometimes your winter sweaters or furniture get pills and this super inexpensive fabric shaver has great reviews.

7. Slippers – A classic slipper with a solid soul. I like. (Members get 30% off!)

8. Coffee Table Books – A good coffee table book is a classic no brainer gift for any interior design enthusiast. They’re perfect for decor and inspiration! These four are on my wish list this year –

   • Made for Living by Amber Lewis

   • Still: The Slow Home by Natalie Walton

   • Architectural Digest at 100: A Century of Style

   • The Nature of Home: Creating Timeless Houses by Jeffrey Dungan

9. Chelsea Boots – A classic black chelsea boot is a staple for every winter wardrobe. These Madewell boots are top of the line and are 40% off with code “VERYMERRY”!

10. Tobacco + Bergamot Candle from Haven Candle Co – I’ve never smelled candles so good. Not exaggerating. This is my favorite scent but there are so many other good scents too!

11. Ivory Sofa – Big ticket alert! I’m ready to upgrade to a quality sofa. After weeks of research, I stumbled upon a custom furniture company called Maiden Home. They have some of the best reviews of any custom furniture company I’ve ever seen and their “Warren Sofa” in an ivory fabric is on my radar! If you’re on the hunt for a new sofa…check out Maiden Home.

12. One Line A Day Journal – I bought one of these journals for my mom several years ago and she still talks about how much she loves it today. It’s a 5 year memory journal and you write one line a day. After 1+ years you can look back and see what you were doing on the same day 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 years ago.
