I can’t believe December is already here, and the holidays are quickly approaching. This year has been quite surreal, and shopping for the holidays will be a bit different for us this season. I kept this in mind when choosing the gifts for my annual Holiday Gift Guide, and filled it with some fun ideas that include cozy fashion, accessories, beauty, lifestyle, and wellness. Whether you're looking to find the perfect pajama set the cutest teddy jacket, the best in clean beauty skincare, or the most beautiful scented candles, I’ve got you covered!
The list of highly curated items highlights many of my favorite gifts to give (along with some I wouldn’t mind receiving!). I plan to set aside an afternoon this week in front of a fire, with a cup of my favorite Lakanto Drinking Chocolate and my laptop to do some shopping.
Read on and keep scrolling to see and shop my full list!
