Holiday season has begun and it truly is the most wonderful time of the year! I know things in the world are very stressful right now on top of all the stress that you may be experiencing in your day-to-day life, so just know that you don’t have to buy a million gifts for your loved ones and your house doesn’t have to look picture-perfect. The holiday spirit is about more than that: it’s about being thankful for what you DO have in your life, for your loved ones and celebrating those things together. Do what brings you joy this holiday whether it’s putting your Christmas tree up early, keeping the twinkle lights up until February or taking yourself on a trip for some much needed R&R. Whatever this time of year brings for you, don’t forget to take care of yourself. Whether it’s taking a walk, getting some sunshine, committing to a hot shower at night to unwind, journaling for five minutes, going to therapy or booking that massage you’ve been dreaming of – just do it. You never regret taking a little break for self-care.
That being said, below are my holiday gift ideas including gifts for her, him, little kids, babies, the home chef or baker, the reader in your life, and more! I put a lot of thought and care into these gift guides to make sure they contained some classics (like candles, jewelry, or books) along with some unique items you may not have thought of. One of my favorites is the gift guide for “someone who has everything” because there is always someone *cough*grandparents*cough* that is impossible to shop for. In those moments, get creative and think outside the literal box like experiences, subscriptions people actually want (no jam of the month, please) or accessories for their favorite hobbies.
