Gift Guide 2023

You may have been bombarded with Black Friday emails beginning two weeks before Thanksgiving (I know I was!) While I love a deal, I was honestly content ignoring it to give my undivided attention to family time around Thanksgiving. But now it’s December 8th and I need to make sure I’ve chosen useful and thoughtful gifts for the people in my life. If you’re on my timeline, here are some of the things I’ve gotten or are in my cart. Another benefit to this list coming a bit later is that you won’t see the same ice machine that was on everyone’s gift guide (no shade there, it was a great deal….should I get one?) Here are some more unique items for everyone on your list!

1. Lovewell Zip Up Hoodie– The perfect gift for the Team Lovewell lover in your life. It’s one of my favorite colors and so easy to toss on especially before or after a workout!
2. NOW Foods Jasmine Absolute Oil– I’m a longtime fan of NOW Foods and their jasmine essential oil is my favorite. The scent smells pretty close to the real thing, (jasmine flowers) which is one of my favorite scents. Every time I’m using it in a diffuser someone comments on how good it smells in my home!
3. All Modern Posie Candlestick and Root Candles Taper Candle Set– For the person who’s trying to up their tablescape game. I used these on my Thanksgiving table and they received all of the compliments!
4. Art of Tea Assorted 50 Count Teabag Sachet Bulk Box– If you have someone on your list that loves tea as much as I do, get them this assorted box from Art of Tea. The best way to experience all of the flavors!
5. Lululemon Steady State Hoodie– A classic and simple hoodie I know Dave will love. Super comfortable but I also know it’s great quality.
6. The Mini Artist Series Olive Oil Set by Brightland– Are you tired of always bringing a bottle of wine as a gift? Do you need a gift for someone that they will actuallly use? I think this set is so cute and so useful, especially for anyone who cooks.
7. Emma Lovewell’s Essentials Material Kitchen Bundle– This year I’ve created the perfect gift bundle with Material Kitchen. I absolutely love their designs, and after using many of their products I created this gift bundle, perfect for anyone who appreciates quality made kitchen utensils and products. The bundle includes a cutting board, made from recycled plastics and sugarcane, a sleek metal peeler, and the much anticipated wooden salt sphere. Gifting this to all the cooks in my life!
8. Arhaus Tannon Wine Glasses– You may have seen these on my Thanksgiving table. I love these, so fun and chic!
9. Perkins Builder Brothers Tool Belt– I know Dave wouldn’t steer you wrong when it came to the perfect tool belt. This is one of his most used items especially for our home renovations (stay tuned for what we have in store for 2024!)
10. Bosche Laser Level– Another invaluable tool in our home renovation. It is also great for hanging art, pictures, and TVs!
11. Roav Foldable Sunglasses– I thought these were so cool because they are different than your typical sunglasses yet are still attractive. The best parts are that they fit in your pocket, are durable, polarized, and UV protective.
12. Souper Cubes Silicone Freeze Trays– This is a great stocking stuffer. You can use for regular ice or you can make a giant batch of soup and freeze it for later in individual portions.
13. Welcome, Hustler: An Empowerment Journal by Robin Arzón– I’m all about journaling and goal setting so this new guided journal by my colleague, Robin is perfect for anyone wanting to work on themself. Such a great way to help jumpstart those New Years goals!
14. Varley Hawley Half Zip from Peloton Apparel– If you watch my Instagram stories you know how this is something I have been wearing non stop. It’s so cozy and you can get the complete set.
15. Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish Setting Powder– This is the perfect product to add to any makeup routine (even if you prefer it to be minimal like mine!) It blends your makeup to give a natural finish and sets it in place at the same time. Another bonus: it’s easy to gift because there aren’t a million shade options!
16. Mario Badescu Facial Spray– Truth be told I love a rosewater spray. This one is one of my favs as it is light, refreshing, and smells great!
