Christmas Gift Guide: Holiday Picks for Everyone on Your List
Christmas is just a couple weeks away, and dang that came quick! If you’re still shopping, chances are you might need a little help, so I rounded up a little Christmas gift guide for you to make the season a little less stressful. For the Coffee Lovers, the Fitness Buffs, the Wellness Gurus, the Green Thumbs, the Outdoorsy Ones, the Tech Inspired, and maybe even yourself—I’ve got a little something for everyone.
For the…
Coffee Craver:
- ember mug -
A coffee mug—but better (and smarter). The Ember Mug keeps coffee warm while it’s sitting in its little saucer so it’s always at the perfect temperature.
- fellow stagg ekg kettle -
The Fellow Stagg EKG has to be the most aesthetically pleasing electric kettle that I’ve ever laid eyes on, and it’s exactly the tool for creating the perfect pour over.
- chemex coffeemaker -
Speaking of pour overs, the Chemex Pour-Over Glass Coffeemaker makes the perfect pair if you’re really trying to win some points this Christmas!
- oxo brew burr grinder -
A good cup of brew starts from the beans, so if your coffee enthusiast enjoys brewing up their own, an OXO Brew Conical Coffee Grinder will give them fragrant, fresh grounds anytime they need a fix.
- ceramic french press -
Good thing there’s dozens of ways to make a tasty cup of joe, so there’s no shortage of gift options for your coffee lover. This Ceramic French Press is another beautiful but simple option.
+ Stocking Stuffers
- coffee scoop + clip -
If you’re looking for a little bonus gift, a Coffee Scoop + Clip makes for an easy and very useful stocking stuffer!
For the…
Fitness Buff
- yoga design lab mat -
What’s better motivation to practice yoga than a beautiful mat that makes you want to use it? The Design Lab Commuter Yoga Mat is lightweight and is machine washable, making it the perfect hot yoga mat.
- acta workout clothes -
I’m in love with ACTA’s seamless collection. It’s so buttery soft and pulls you in all the right places to make for the most flattering workout gear. The bra tops are padded and come in colors that match all of their leggings. The leggings are high-waisted and don’t budge during workouts so there’s no constant adjusting or need to pull them back up. Plus they come out with new styles and colors all the time, so there’s always new gear to checkout! (P.S. you can get an extra 15% off with my code: jenniferann 😉.)
- garmin forerunner -
I have a slightly older model of this Garmin Forerunner 635 but I seriously cannot run without it. It’s been my running partner since I first started doing races, and I always feel lost when I run without it. It’s so helpful for pacing and setting goals, and this updated version has the ability to store music on it so that you don’t have to strap your gigantic phone to your arm.
- air pods -
These little guys come with me everywhere, I wasn’t too sure about the Apple AirPods when they were first released, but once I got a pair, I was totally sold on them. Now I wear them throughout the day at work and during all my workouts. I’ve managed to not lose either of them by always putting them back into their case, which also makes it so that they’re always charged and ready when I need them. If your wanting to splurge, Apple AirPods Pro came out a little bit ago and have both a noise cancelling and a transparency mode.
- theragun -
The Theragun Liv is the entry level in Theragun’s lineup of percussive massage therapy tools. It’s lightweight and compact option but can still pack a punch, and comes with two different attachments. It’s great for muscle recovery and relief, making it a must have for the always sore, workout-addicts in your life.
+ Stocking Stuffers
- speed rope -
I love getting presents that I can get good use out of, and for your gym frequenters, a Speed Jump Rope is a great little tool to have—toss one in their stocking this year.
- resistance bands -
Another great little stocking stuffer—Resistance Bands are great for warm-ups, workouts on-the-go or at home, or just to add a little extra to a workout. This set comes with four different resistance levels.
FOR THE…
Wellness Guru
- ninja blender -
I have the full size Ninja blender but I use it with the personal sized cup every morning, so I think this Ninja Personal Blender would make an awesome gift. I love that I can take the single serve cup with me for a post-gym/start to the workday smoothie and I don’t have to worry about pouring it into a separate cup.
- moon dust -
Moon Dust makes a bunch of different adaptogenic blends that you can mix into your coffee, tea, smoothies, etc. Each blend supports and nourishes your body in various ways and is packed with plant based ingredients.
- vitruvi essential oil diffuser -
I’ve talked about Vitruvi before, but I’ve always loved their Essential Oils Diffuser (this one’s on my Christmas list 😉). There are so many benefits and uses for essential oils, but one of the easiest ways to incorporate them into your life is diffusing them—a great, natural alternative to candles for whatever vibe or mood you (or your gift recipients) want to create.
- herbivore hydrate + glow -
Herbivore is another brand that you can feel good about putting on your body, and sharing with others. Their delicate, minimalist packaging is also definitely a plus in my book. This Glow and Hydrate collection is really helpful for anyone trying to combat the effects of cold, dry winter air.
- four sigmatic chill + reishi -
Four Sigmatic is another adaptogenic drink mix in, but is derived from mushrooms. They make a few different varieties that are each meant to provide different health and wellness benefits. This one in particular promotes healthy sleep cycles and fight stress.
- quip electric toothbrush -
I know what you’re thinking, a toothbrush? But Quip Electric Toothbrushes are super popular—they’re battery powered and have an internal timer in them that guides your brushing routine. If you want to give the gift that keeps giving, Quip also has a $5 subscription option with their toothbrushes that sends out a new brush head and battery every three months.
+ Stocking Stuffers
- rose jade roller -
The massage they never knew they needed. The Rose Jade Roller helps improve circulation to help with puffiness and tightens skin to reduce wrinkles. This set also includes a gua sha for face and body massage.
For the…
Green Thumb
- plant mister -
If you’ve been here before, you know that I’m am 100% a plant lover, so I’m well-versed in all my little tools. This Glass Mister has always been a favorite of mine, and it’s so cute that I leave it out on a shelf where it doubles as decor.
- aerogarden -
For the one who dreams of having a thriving herb garden, the AeroGarden Harvest may be just the thing they need. It has reminders for when to add water and food and the lights go on and off automatically for healthy plants year-round.
- watering can -
Another necessity for plants that is pretty enough to pull double-duty as decor. I’ve seen expensive Gold Watering Cans just like this at some of the local plant shops, so I was happy to find one with a more reasonable price!
- the inspired houseplant -
If they really can’t get enough of plants (I may be speaking about myself here), help give them some inspiration for their plant space with a book like The Inspired House Plant.
+ Stocking Stuffers
- plant tools -
Having a set of Small Plant Tools makes it so much easier (less clumsy = less messy) to repot and top off smaller indoor plants. The brush and tweezers are also particularly helpful for safely handling cacti. I wouldn’t mind finding a set of these in my stocking.
- macrame plant hanger -
Macrame Hanging Plant Holders are great for hanging up trailing plants and mixing things up from the standard potted plant. They make for a great stocking stuffer (unless you’re wanting to include a plant!)
For the…
Outdoorsy One
- eno hammock -
I’ve had my Eno Double Nested Hammock for years, I’ve actually come to prefer sleeping in my hammock instead of a sleeping bag on the ground when I go camping. It rolls up into the pouch that‘s connected to it so it’s really compact and easy to take on hikes too. Imagine it—chilling in a hammock overlooking snow-capped mountains. Know someone who might be down for that?
- yeti mug -
Yeti makes really high quality products, I have the full sized cooler and it keeps ice frozen for so long. They have a full selection of travel drink-ware too, this Yeti Rambler Mug is one of my favorites (it comes in several colors too).
- jetboil -
If you have a frequent hiker in your life who doesn’t already have one, the Jetboil Flash Cooking System is so convenient and fast. It’s also lightweight and compact enough to pack away.
- eureka camping stove -
For the campers in your circle, the Eureka! Ignite Two-Burner Camp Stove gives a little more cooking space but is equally as quick and easy—and folds down flat and compact.
- filson quilted jacket -
Filson’s gear is well-constructed and a good mix of rugged and cozy. Filson’s Quilted Pack Jacket is a prime example of this, on it’s way to being your guy’s (friend, dad, etc.) new favorite.
+ Stocking Stuffers
- final straw -
Are we all on board with banning the plastic straws yet? Know someone who’s not quite sold on letting go of their straws? Do the turtles a favor and add one of these to their stocking. Final Straw is a metal, reusable straw with considerably less environmental impact than its plastic counterpart.
For the…
Tech Inspired
- felix gray blue light glasses -
If you know someone who is in front of the computer or their phones for way longer than our eyes are made for—Felix Gray’s Blue Light Blocking Glasses are a lifesaver. Blue light can be an eye irritant and affects our ability to fall asleep at night because it suppresses melatonin. These glasses help reduce eye strain/fatigue and headaches. I think the majority of glasses they have are unisex and they have a variety of shapes and sizes for everyone. The ones I’m wearing are the Roebling in Sazerac Crystal.
- apple watch -
Where would I be without my assortment of Apple devices? I’m sure by now, the Apple Watch sells itself, but I really do wear it every single day. I like being able to receive all my notifications and take phone calls without having to pick up my phone throughout the day—especially if I’m busy working or doing other things. But it also helps me with a ton of other little convenient things, and I like tracking my workouts and being able to have all my devices working together. (I got a dupe of the Apple Milanese Watch Band on Amazon—for MUCH less, the one I’m wearing is the “Rose Gold,” I know in the pictures on Amazon, the color looks crazy pink/purple, but the reviews reassured me that it would match my watch, and it totally does.)
- hue ambiance smart lights -
Phillips Hue White Ambiance Smart Lights were one of the early smart home additions to my house. I originally bought them because my house is a century old and pretty much every individual light is controlled by a different switch, so I wanted something a little more efficient. With these, I can turn rooms on and off all at once from an app, with the help of Siri on my watch/phone, or by asking my Google Home (more on that below).
- nest home mini -
I like that the Google Home system can easily communicate with my Apple Devices—but they’re also useful on their own, making for fun gifts. My Google Nest Mini was actually a gift, and it ended up helping me choose the rest of my smart home set up.
- wireless charging station -
We all have way too many cords hanging all over our nightstands, this Native Union Dock Wireless Phone Charging Stand cleans things up, all they have to do is set their phone on top of it. If they’re using it at a desk, it even props the phone up so they can see notifications coming in, without ever having to lift a finger.
- apple tv -
Another Apple device that was gifted to me, the Apple TV provides all the benefits of a smart tv (but also makes not-so-smart TVs smart) and lets you screen cast from your Mac, MacBook, iPad, or iPhone.
+ Stocking Stuffers
- portable phone charger -
I feel like my phone lasts longer than ever these days, but if your techie is constantly running through their battery, an Anker PowerCore Portable Phone Charger might look awfully good in that stocking.
Happy shopping, hope you’re able to check everyone off your list! 🤶🏻
