Christmas Gifts I'd Actually Buy

Purple Star emoji 20 items
This is basically how I shop for Christmas gifts. These are things I’ve actually bought before, things I’m buying again this year, or things I’ve saved because I know someone in my life would love them. Throughout the year, whenever a friend or famil...

For Mom

This one is for my mom. She loves body care, and honestly everything from L’Occitane is just really good. The almond line in particular smells amazing and feels super luxurious without being over the top. It also comes in really cute gift boxes, whic...

This is such a good gift for park people, especially my mom. We live in Florida and go to Disney a lot, so having a portable charger is basically a necessity. What makes this one great is that you can swap it in the park. If it dies, you just put it ...

This is such an underrated gift for moms who love jewelry. I bought an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner for my mom last year, and she loved it way more than I expected. She’s always liked cleaning her jewelry, but she doesn’t like going to a jeweler and pa...

This is one of those gifts that sounds simple, but once you have it, you really appreciate it. It’s basically a cold therapy cap you keep in the freezer and put on when you have a headache or migraine. I think this is a great gift for moms especially...

Not everyone gets excited about AirTags, but honestly… they’re such a good utility gift. I have one on my wallet because I’m constantly losing it, and it has saved me so many times. This one is for my dad. If I lose my wallet once a day, he loses his...

This is a gift I got for my dad a few years ago, and he still uses it every single day. He works in construction, so it’s extremely loud, and hearing protection is a must. What made these such a good option is that they work really well with safety g...

This is one of those gifts that works for basically anyone. I couldn’t decide if it belonged more in my dad’s section or my brother’s section, because both of them would love it. My dad likes using a speaker at work when he’s doing tasks that don’t i...

This is a great gift for dads who love cooking or barbecuing. My dad is obsessed with barbecues, and this was honestly such a good present for him. He still uses it all the time. It helps defrost frozen meat way faster without needing the microwave, ...

Just to be very clear: I’m talking about the AirPods Pro 2nd gen — the ones with the silicone ear tips. These are my favorite and the ones I own. My friend has the 1st gen regular AirPods (no rubber tips) and likes them. My sister has the newer gener...

For Sister

My sister has been talking about this bundle since it came out earlier this year, like casually bringing it up all the time, which is basically her way of saying “please buy this for me” 😭 I haven’t bought it yet because it’s definitely a bigger gif...

This one is for my sister. She’s obsessed with the Billie Eilish perfumes, especially Eilish No. 2, which has the darker packaging and a deeper, more intense scent. I personally love Eilish No. 1, which is sweeter and more vanilla, but she’s all abou...

This is one I can actually vouch for. We have this hair dryer at home (we got the rose gold one, but they have a lot of color options), and it’s really good — especially for curly hair. It comes with a diffuser for curls, but also includes other atta...

I love giving keychains as a complement gift for friends — not as the only gift, but as something cute and personal to add on. This initial keychain is one of my favorites because it feels thoughtful without being over the top. I gave a similar one t...

What I really like about the Mini 12 is the little mirror on the side — it makes taking selfies so much easier because you can actually see how the photo is going to turn out. It’s simple to use, fun, and perfect for capturing moments with friends. I...

I’m honestly obsessed with Comfrt as a brand. I’ve been buying from them since they launched, and everything I own from them is so good — hoodies, sweatpants, blankets, all of it. The Dreamer blanket is one of my favorites. It’s super soft, cozy, and...

This was honestly one of my favorite gifts growing up. Kipling pencil cases were everything when I was a kid — I had so many pens, pencils, erasers, and this was the only case that actually fit and kept everything organized. They’re super durable too...

I know Labubu isn’t as viral as it used to be, but the kids in my family are still OBSESSED. My brother and cousins always ask for them, so it’s still a super safe gift if you’re buying for kids who love cute collectibles.

Honestly, kids do not need the newest iPad that just came out. I say this as someone who has younger siblings (and has had her iPad completely taken over by their games 😭). For kids, the most important thing is storage, not the latest model. A 9th o...

These are such a cute gift for kids who want to feel like their older siblings. My younger brother and sister are OBSESSED because their older sister has a Stanley, so having a mini version makes them feel included. They’re the perfect size for littl...

This is one of those gifts that kids get SO excited about, but parents also secretly love because it’s actually useful. Instead of just giving a regular suitcase (which most kids don’t really care about), this one lets them sit on it and ride through...
