Here’s a Little Help for Your Holiday Shopping

November 20, 2017

“Tis the season… Have you begun your Christmas shopping? Fun fact about me- I hate shopping. I cannot stand going in and out of stores, picking through things, and jockeying for a parking space, but what I do love is browsing from the comforts of my home. If you don’t like dealing with crowds and crazy parking lots either, here’s a little help for your holiday shopping.

I have put together some items you can purchase while still wearing your jammies 🙂 Grab a mug of coffee or tea, a cozy blanket, and let the shopping begin! Most of the items here are favorites of mine.

For the coffee lover:

I gave this coffee pot to my husband last year for Christmas, and he loves it! This makes the best pour over coffee!

I received this espresso maker for my birthday and love using it to make an Americano 🙂

Click here to buy this

And here is the coffee I use with the espresso maker:

For those who journal:

I use this particular journal every day. It comes in 14 different colors!

Click here to buy the journal.   Here are some other options: one, two, three

My favorite pen set ever:

I love these pens for writing as well: one, two, three

For the kitchen:

I love this glass carafe for serving juice or water:

We use these mini tumblers for dessert or wine. I love them!

Do you have a Dutch oven? I use mine almost every day. It’s a perfect for soups, stews, baking bread, and browning meat.

Who doesn’t love Ina? This cookbook has some great recipes.

Click here to buy Back to Basics. Here are a few other favorite cookbooks of mine: one, two, three

How about some pretty tapers? I just purchased these for my Thanksgiving table.

For the house:

I burn candles daily. Sometimes I just burn unscented votives, and other times I like to burn ones that make my house smell nice. Here are a few recommendations:

P.F Candle company is based in Los Angeles. Their mission is to create high-end quality candles at accessible price points, making home fragrance an everyday luxury. The candles smell fantastic. Find them here.

I also have found some favorites on Amazon. This one has a great scent and beautiful jar.

This holiday candle is one of my favorites!

 

An affordable diffuser would make a great gift. If I am not burning candles, I’m most likely diffusing oils. I buy mine here.

A cozy blanket is always a welcomed gift 🙂 You can find them just about anywhere. This red one is from World Market.

Have you seen this book? This beautiful volume of 32 devotionals would make a lovely gift.

Here are a few other favorite books to give: Bread and Wine, Autumn from the Heart of the Home, At Home in the World, Gifts from the Sea, The Nesting Place.

A Few Things for Her:

This hand cream smells so soft and lovely, and the tube is pretty.

A mini collection of facial and body care products would be sweet.

One of my favorite companies, Able, has gifts under $50. 

 

Here’s to quiet, no stress, no crowds shopping. Enjoy xo!

    Good list of gift ideas here. I love Leuchtturm Journals. I have actually given the Espresso maker as a gift before. The recipient has really enjoyed using it.

    Great – now I want to sip coffee while reading a book, while writing with cool pens in my journal, while smelling awesome candles… and it’s 11pm!
    Love it!!
