25 Holiday Gift Ideas

December 9, 2020 by jessica Leave a Comment

Hearth & Hand With Magnolia Garland

I’m knee-deep in Internet scouring to finish holiday shopping for my family and items to put on my own wish list. With shipping delays, I’m not sure I’ll have time to create a couple of gift guides this year, so I thought I’d share 25 items I spotted while shopping that might be perfect for your own gift-giving or wish-listing this year!

  1. For sentimental home chefs, a custom tea towel printed with a handwritten recipe card.
  2. A Yeti tumbler or mug is a gift that’ll please just about everyone on your list.
  3. This is a great option for keeping tech accessories and cords organized while traveling.
  4. For the one who loves lowkey hosting, a fuss-free cookbook for post-COVID gatherings.
  5. Pretty face masks in a selection of springtime florals since we’ll be wearing masks for the better part of next year.
  6. I’ve waxed poetic about these brass coasters before, but that’s because they really are lovely and make for a great unisex gift. Prefer monogramming things? Right this way.
  7. A book of festive cocktails and a pair of pretty glasses to go with it.
  8. I know that scarves tend to be a last-minute, impersonal gift idea, but this black check one is one of my favorites!
  9. A beautiful cheese board isn’t necessarily something they’d think to buy themselves.
  10. A colorful puzzle.
  11. For those who love to cook, a gift box of specialty spices. (If you’d just like a single to use as a stocking stuffer, I love the peri peri seasoning. Their flat packs ship free.)
  12. Cashmere sweaters for her and him. (Dave really likes the cashmere sweaters from Lands’ End.)
  13. This paperweight is quirky, yet classic and makes me exceptionally happy.
  14. Bobbleheads are fun and quirky dolls that make a lovely gift for every occasion. Whether your daughter is graduating or you’re getting married, a custom bobblehead is a great way to mark the momentous occasion. Lucky Bobbleheads specializes in sculpting custom bobbleheads. We make bobbleheads for various themes, including weddings, graduation, birthdays, promotions, sports, anniversaries, and so on. .
  15. An essential oil diffuser that’s also well designed.
  16. I asked for a monogrammed jewelry travel case this year. (I prefer the small one since I don’t travel with too many pieces.)
  17. Perfect their at-home steak game with a sous vide.
  18. For the one resolving to get fit during quarantine, a set of weighted bangles.
  19. This vanity case!
  20. A stunning clay serving dish.
  21. We love our Instax photo printer. Add some film to the gift so they can start printing memories right away. (This would also make a great gift for a teen or college student!)
  22. A set of espresso mugs for the coffee-obsessed.
  23. This mother-of-pearl pendant necklace is gorgeous. There’s also a smaller one with a shorter chain.
  24. Refresh their linen closet with a set of these bath towels. My mom gifted us a set last year in pewter and I’ve never loved a towel more!
  25. A beautiful set of steak knives.

Our guest room wasn’t a design priority until la Our guest room wasn’t a design priority until late last year when we finally bought a bed, mattress, and a set of sheets. We used some of our own extra bedding (tucking in the generous overhang of our king blankets under the queen-sized mattress) and old bedside lamps from our bedroom: functional, but not quite the charming space I’d envisioned.
 
That started to change when I purchased the Popcorn Grid Coverlet from Schoolhouse — an item I’d been eyeing for years — plus some graphic floral pillows. Then came a bright blue round cushion and the sweetest Teig lamp, both generously gifted by Schoolhouse, and the room finally started to come together. You can shop my picks here: https://liketk.it/5f322

Growing up in northern Wisconsin, lilacs always hi Growing up in northern Wisconsin, lilacs always hit peak bloom right around my birthday on May 30. My mom would fill a large crystal vase with fresh-cut stems, and their scent would waft through the house. 

Now that I live a few hours south and lilac season wraps up earlier, the blooms actually mark the start of my birthday month.

• Spent quality time with my favorite cat

• Biked for Pacificos, chips and quac, and tacos at @bandit.tacos 

• Loved how the rain collected on the Lady’s Mantle I planted last year

• Dipped my toes (quite literally) into this year’s mesh shoe trend

• Snapped a lot of Lily content

• Drove home with a new lilac in the passenger seat
Finishing our guest room has been a focus of ours Finishing our guest room has been a focus of ours this year, and the cute Teig Lamp from Schoolhouse is such a charming addition to the space. It’s named for the German word for “dough,” which is perfect for its soft, petite shape.

(The lamp and circle pillow were gifted. I purchased the other items.)

I’m challenging myself to get through a backlog I’m challenging myself to get through a backlog of travel photos before we book our next trip. First up, photos of the gothic York Minster. I’m not religious in the slightest but I can’t resist stunning architecture and the opportunity to climb hundreds of cathedral stairs for a city view. This one only had a single rest stop about halfway up the flight of 275 steps for a closeup view of the flying buttresses — and a waiver you had to sign before your ascent to promise you’re healthy enough to make it.
