The Ultimate Gift Guide for Everyone

It’s that time of the year – gift-giving time. And while I feel like a little less emphasis on material goods would be a societal improvement, the fact remains that giving something thoughtful to someone you love is a way (one of many) to express your appreciation. (And let’s face it: a meaningful gift can really brighten a person’s day.) But it’s not always easy to figure out the perfect gift! So I’ve put together this extensive holiday gift guide. Many of these are products I actually have myself. I hope this list helps you to finish out any holiday shopping you have to do, but that it also serves you well year-round for gift-giving occasions. As a note, this post contains products that I received for free as well as affiliate links, though not exclusively on either front.

CHILDREN’S GIFTS

Bashful Unicorn from La Petite Chenille. Perfectly plush and full of magic, any kid in your life (and plenty of grownups) would be delighted to receive this mystical companion.

Animal Parade A-Z Puzzle from La Petite Chenille. This toy combines a few things I love: it’s wooden with nontoxic paint, it’s a puzzle, it depicts animals (a little obsessed with animals around here), and it provides a fun way for children to learn. In this case, children learn the alphabet and capital as well as lowercase letter recognition. Each animal in the puzzle represents a letter and they all fit together in a fun formation – one that yields a vulture riding a unicorn.

Indi Scout Eco-friendly, mindful, adorable clothing made by a mama in California.

Kelsey Dress in Gunmetal from Little Mango. This dress helps Ever to channel her inner David Bowie. Full of glam and extra fun because the fabric feels neat, this will be an adored part of her wardrobe until we can’t squeeze it onto her much older torso as a shirt anymore.

Vida Faux Leather Leggings from Little Mango. If you know a tiny born entertainers like I do, they might also need a pair of leggings deserving of the spotlight. These faux leather leggings (which come in gold as well as black) should do the trick.

WOMEN’S CLOTHING GIFTS

Reversible Jersey Pullover from Indigenous. This is one of my new favorites and a definite closet staple. It’s soft, incredibly warm, and good for two different looks thanks to it being reversible.

Eco Infinity Scarf from Indigenous. This is the best scarf I’ve ever owned. I’m a sucker for cable knit, so this chunky organic cotton piece appealed to me immediately when I saw it online. I was even happier when I tried it on in person – it’s smooth (not itchy at all like wool can be – hooray for organic cotton!), toasty, and exactly the amount of scarf I want – not too little or too much fabric. If you’re looking for a timeless, functional, handcrafted, eco-conscious gift, this is a great option.Indigenous is committed to creating organic and fair trade clothing with an emphasis on the handmade and natural materials. Read more about Indigenous here.

DSTLD High Waisted Skinny Jeans. I have these in Black Powerstretch and Dark Vintage. They’re both amazing – comfortable and flattering with just the right amount of stretch. This is a perfect pair of jeans for the lady in your life who could use a perfect pair of jeans (*ahem* that’s everyone).

DSTLD Scoop Neck Tee. You know what’s a good fit for a perfect pair of jeans? A perfect tee. I have the DSTLD Scoop Neck Tee in heather grey and black. You can’t go wrong with these super soft timeless staples.

Pehr Designs Pom Pom Bin, Grey

Pehr Designs Grey Pom Pom Hamper + Gold Foil Speck Drum + Gold Foil Speck Bin + Pebble Hatch Tea Towel + Eggplant Pencil Lines Tea Towel. I love these items from Pehr Designs. Before acquiring these items, Ever’s dirty laundry went into a laundry bag on the floor, her toys went into two cardboard boxes, and her pull-ups and other diapering toiletries went into a musty old basket. Ew. I swapped everything in her room out for these sturdy and attractive replacements and they look great!
