THANK YOU FOR WATCHING AND BEING WONDERFUL!!!
I’m currently sitting solo at an Italian restaurant with a glass of wine and gnocchi, celebrating the end of holiday shopping. I’m Enjoying my Wednesday off, and relishing in my decisions for gifts, and the fact that I’m done early. Even so, I’m excited to hear this because gift giving is my love language too. Headphones in. Let’s do this.
yaaaaay that sounds SO DREAMY!!
OHHH. Just got to the end. My gift this year are also lounge wear inspired, funnily enough. I bought silk pajamas for my girlfriends. Slippers for my partners, etc.. In the realm of more affordable gifts I bought the wireless chargers for all of my roommates. I also took Hannah, Smokey Glow, Hannah’s advice and got them all phone stands for their desk. Lastly, it was the year of tumblers, water cups, water bottles, etc. I bought quite a few types depending on the needs of the person. Of course, more personal gifts were bought too, but these are the ones I would put in a “gift guide”
God, I love dining out alone.
@@ondigottesman979 same girl. SAME
Yeessss
this year I decided to be more sustainable with my Christmas gift shopping and I bought everyone a vintage sweater. it was so fun to scour Instagram accounts of vintage stores and go in person as well and I managed to find some VERY nice sweaters of high quality materials, like cashmere, with nice designs as well, which would have cost a fortune if bought new.
it's my first attempt at this so hopefully my loved ones won't be insulted by getting something that isn't new. the only thing with this approach is you have to start shopping really early to make sure you actually find some nice pieces that fit the person's size and taste, but that's not an issue for me, I plan out my gifts starting September lol. if they're well received, I'm thinking of making this a regular thing.
and for the secret Santa we do at work, I always end up getting a handcrafted scented candle from a small local business, if it's for a woman. for men, I tend to go with booze, guys are just really hard to shop for
Love this idea!
Any cookbook by the publisher Phaidon is a solid choice for a gift. They use higher quality paper, bindings, and covers. They have ribbons attached to the spine, to use as a bookmark. They always have high quality photography. Source: my mom is a cookbook collector and has over 1000 cookbooks. The ones by Phaidon are some of the best.
Only 5 mins in but I must say that "gets softer as you wash it" is such an underrated quality in fabric goods. A polyblend shirt might feel softer at first, but cotton or linen will feel softer in a year, and last longer.
TFW you publish your gift guide and then you realize that it's basically just loungewear and cookbooks
Plus jewellery! That's plenty of variety 😂
Add in streaming tv services, and you’ve got the pandemic package.
Perfection, I say!
I got concerned about the shortages, so I bought my son all his gifts in September, haha. My husband is into minimalism lately and hates physical stuff. I bought him fancy tea and will probably add some other consumable goods. The rest of the family and friends? No idea.
Laying on my couch in my fleece lined sweats and watching an HLP video is just the ticket. It has been a long day as a hospice admission nurse and my emotional capacity is drained. You do important work and I’m so thankful to have a place to go when my soul is weary.
Hannah this is probably coming out of left field, but I work at a printer that did the Gucci Beauty Brand Guides for my country, and your look today is bang on Gucci’s “beauty style”. I started the video and was immediately struck by the impeccable Look
I'm a photographer so I'm gifting both my mom and my sister a "Gift Voucher" for a pet photoshoot with their kitties! I was planning on sneakily doing the photoshoot without them knowing, and just gifting them framed prints - but I decided it would be more special for them to help with the photoshoot and pick their favorite photographs!
My favourite gifts to give are consumables. So fancy bath products, food treats the person might not buy for themselves, different versions of drinks they enjoy, etc.
It does get a little repetitive, so I do also gift things people request! Like this year my mum asked for a particular moisturizer, and my dad wants socks.
UGH there's a typo in the transition card and I just want it to go on the record that it's 100% Joe's fault. 2gift guide??? What is that????
I discussed it with Joe and he said "I must have accidentally pressed the number two." So I guess we know how it happened now LOL 🙄
SIR, The “g” is not near the 2 on a QWERTY keyboard. I blame the holiday stress.
I Would have framed Sadie 😂 My cat constantly walks over my laptop
I love your gift recommendations! I bought the pet portrait for my husband last year after you showed the Sadie one. Mine was of my four cats sitting in front of a fireplace in winter clothes. My husband thought it was hilarious.
omg
OMG the pet portrait!! I forgot about that. That might be my gift for Mr Adjacent
I love consumables for people who are hard to shop for. I think the mini instead cameras with packs of film is also really fun. And I like to make fun refrigerator magnets will kooky eraser tops or legos or other small weird things kicking around
I bought my best friend the Lethal cosmetics Berlin 89 palette! She is a German minor and loves the country and even studied abroad there over the summer. She loves beauty but is a bit intimidated by eyeshadow, so I’m so glad I was able to buy her something that reminds her of the country she loves but also wouldn’t be something she would buy on her own
Your friend is lucky to have such a considerate and thoughtful bestie. :)
It's not a beginner pallette, but you can knock out basic looks with it. My go to is one of the colorful mattes all over the lid/crease with one of the shimmers or the multichrome over top. I think with the lethal matte formula, you need a good dense flat brush and to pat in place over unpowdered primer. (I've been using the NYX milk crayon...OLD SCHOOL) that seems to give most payoff. The matte purple in this palette is STUNNING and one of the best in my collection...
I've gotten into embroidery this year, so everyone's been getting little patches and stuff for their birthday and now for Christmas as well. A few people have wished for specific things with embroidery on them, like a shirt or a pair of socks. The materials don't cost all that much, but it takes hours to make even just a little pride flag or floral design, so most of the value comes from the time and love I put into making something pretty for my friends and family.
In previous years I've also gifted people paintings, poems and other little things I made.
Some gifts I'm extra excited about!!: I got my sister a handcrafted birdhouse from a local woodworker, and I'm giving both her and my mom a fancy dinner in Vegas because we got tickets to the Adele residency. I got my brother-in-law an all-in-one phone dock that has spaces for his wedding ring and a watch, as well as a shelf to lay his phone on. And my nieces are getting handmade jackets and some little toys that I got from a cute local kids' store, :)
I've always thought this, but never said it - your features are so pretty & striking. And, your hair seems to accentuate your face even more. I love it! And, also, I love your long videos! 💜
thank you!
I just became enthusiastic about makeup at the beginning of 2020. I actually started getting into it because both my young adult daughters are into it. I researched for their Christmas gifts and after Christmas I had just gotten sucked in. I’ll quote HLP by saying “all this to say” last year I was so excited about makeup that I gifted it to every woman. In hindsight I realize not all woman are passionate about it and these are some great recommendations for those people.
what a nice way to bond with your daughters :)
Philadelphian here and I remember stumbling across Printfresh when they only made fabric prints as designers/suppliers and thinking everything was so cute. I couldn't participate with the brand aside from just admiring their work, but it's so cool to see that they've expanded into apparel and a sustainable business is doing so well.
My best friend Sarah now watches your channel so IF YOU’RE READING THIS, STOP! 🛑

My best friend Sarah is into makeup and plays around with color a lot. During the Clionadh restock, I got her 4 of the stained glass shadows! I also bought a mini magnetic palette to put it in from Sephora (a review had a picture showing 4 Clionadh shadows fitting neatly in it which was perfect). I CAN’T wait to give them to her!!! ❤️❤️❤️
EDIT: removed her last name from the comment
ahhh I love this comment with the disclaimer :)
What a cute comment xD
My best pal and I used to travel as much as we could together, both because we both love it and because we're perfectly compatible travel companions. We've both been in travel withdrawal for Covid and financial reasons. She really hates birthdays, so this year I got her the chain and some starter charms for a bracelet that I can just quietly add to each year. The three charms for this year were a Venetian mask from when we went to Carnaval for a two-hour fever dream in Venice, a Sagrada Familia which was her favorite building on our architecture study abroad program where we met, and a round charm patterned with skulls to represent our trip to the Capuchin crypt ossuary in Rome, which was one of the first times we'd done something just the two of us and also when we both discovered that one another could roll with some pretty weird punches.
You two must have some amazing stories! I hope you get to travel together again in the not-too-distant future
A warning about wool garments. If the person has sensory issues, like me, wool can be extremely irritating
I agree. 10 minutes in a wool garment, and I’m ready to use a cheese grater as a back scratcher-even with cashmere. So make sure the intended recipient is a wool lover.
agreed, i have autism and the texture of yarn or knitted stuff can be quite irritating!!
@@teakettlecute same!! It looks so pretty but it feels awful !! 😭
cannot stress this enough- not everyone is gonna like wool items- for me it's like all the circles of hell combined!
Great recommendations ❤️
My suggestions are on opposite ends of the price spectrum:
For an inexpensive gift, stickers or magnets that represent a fandom they’re really into are always a hit. It’s also cool if you happen to find something in that genre at the thrift store, like a book, mug, or T-shirt.
Expensive but highly appreciated if they’re a homeowner and you know them pretty well: pay for a project they’ve wanted to take on but just continue to defer because of cost or just… life. Example: my husband has been talking about getting garage racks installed for storage, but it’s a few hundred bucks and something else always seems to come up. Could also go with a gift certificate to Home Depot etc. if you’re unsure.
Gift idea: The happy heat electric hot water bottle is amazing!! Great for pms cramps and sore backs, but I mostly use mine in the winter to have my feet warm in bed. By the same token rechargeable hand warmers.
this hair is the thing! the thing is what you've done!!
In keeping with your recommendations, I like giving gifts that are a luxurious version of something people use daily. My partner loves cocktails, so I bought Luxardo cherries as stocking stuffer.
Also for people who are far away, there are the long distance lamps. I haven’t bought them, but I’m thinking about them for future gifts. If you buy two, you can touch your lamp to trigger the other’s to light up and let that person know you are thinking of them. I think it’s very sweet for parents and grandparents.
My friends and I do this thing where each of us gives gifts from a certain category. Like clothing, self care, skincare, jewelry, etc. and it’s all based on what we all need each year. It’s really nice cause we all get to be creative inside our categories but we’re getting things we know the others need. My category is make-up this year since I’m obsessed and all my friends want recommendations! 😂
This is so freaking cute! Happy holidays❣️
for those of us who are younger or just have a smaller budget:
one of the best gifts ive ever received was just a little uquiz with multiple results a friend made me about their favorite things about me and things that have happened in our relationship over the years we've known each other, i cried at the end and even though it cost him nothing its still smth i think about all the time!
some things im giving other ppl this year for the holidays are:
- patreon subscriptions! especially for my podcast listening friends
- ~ experiences ~ like museum trips
- commissioned art from small artists online !
Oh my gosh, sheet pan meals!! I’ll never go back. It tastes better, takes less time AND easier to clean up. It feels like finding some kind of loophole for adulting. I didn’t know this recipe book existed, thank you!
My favorite gift to give for holidays are treat boxes! Each year I like to pick out 3-4 different types of treats to make- caramels, peanut butter balls, etc. and then I can make big batches and wrap everyone up a cute tin with an assortment of treats! I love to bake, so I love being able to give a gift that shares something that’s really special to me!
Saw that the sari robes are from Jaipur. When I was in India a couple years ago I went to Jaipur and bought so many textiles, it was overwhelmingly wonderful! Went to a private ting factory where they actually do make a lot of textiles that are marked up and sold to Anthropologie and the like. Indian textiles are some of the best in the world.
The manta sleep mask would be a great gift for any night shifters! I work nights and I love mine for sleeping during the day!
45 minutes? Hell yes. This is perfect for wrapping up my night. Love your videos!
Big fan of this gift guide. Love supporting smaller companies that it's their livelyhood and their passion.
I bought my mother a very good paring knife. She is always cooking. I bought it in the summer, I put the box somewhere and I have not been able to find it. This weekend the real hunt begins.
I've done all my Christmas shopping and wrapped everything, but I too love gift giving so much I'm gonna watch all of this!
First, I’m literally wearing that polish on my toes right now. And I’m pretty sure Static Nails have been having good sales going. Secondly, I wear a threader in my ear, constantly. I rarely take it out. It looks cool. I get compliments all the time. It’s a literal staple in my lewk. And I say enterTainTing! I’ve never heard anyone else say it, but i got such a giggle! Thanks for all the great ideas. Happy Holidays, gals and guys! ⭐️⛄️🎄❄️🎉🎁🥂🥁⭐️
I’m a student so I’m on a pretty limited budget, but I got my sisters each a palette that suits their interests (berries and pinks for one, light blues and golds for the other) and I got my mom a locket with all three of our pictures in it!
Concert or show tickets if anyone you know is comfortable with going out to an event is a great gift. Puzzles are a great gift too I believe Lauren Mae Beauty has talked about that here on RUclips. I got my dad a coffee gift set with different flavors. I got myself hot chocolate with different flavors, so there's some ideas. Even tea can work. I got a friend some tea for Christmas. Journals too are great gifts. The ideas are endless really.
Thrift stores always have awesome frames! That’s where I get mine :)
yes!! I regret not mentioning this, because it's actually where all of our frames came from, too!
I bought the kantha robes you recommended for my bridesmaids to wear while we were getting ready for my wedding a few months ago. It’s kind of a traditional thing to do but most of the options out there are chintzy and artificial fabrics. The kantha robes cost just as much as them but the quality was amazing and everyone loved them so much! I didn’t realize until it was in my hands that it was the robe I had always wanted but never been able to find and I can’t imagine wanting to wear any other robe.
I can also add that I requested a custom made robe in plus size and the shop was super friendly about it and it fit my friend beautifully!
This is a perfect video to start Thursday off :D let's go shopping for loved ones and maybe..maybe for myself as well! Because she should be loved by me and she deserves a nice gift, right?
Omg thank you so much for including the eye mask!! My eye masks get so gross with my skincare and I’ve never found one i can wash!!! This is life changing!
For a few years now I've been wanting to get a handmade cherry wood guitar stand for my partner and this year I could finally afford it! So excited for him to open it 😁
the framed photos thing is so true! I actually asked for framed family photos for Christmas because I want to have framed family photos in my house but just never manage to print and frame - the labor is part of the gift too!
Gift giving is my first or second love languages too and I love how original and unique your gift guide is!
I love watching gift guides and seeing the items that the person believes everyone will love. Like for you it was the eye mask, but for an interior designer I watch, she's convinced coffee table books are the perfect gift for anyone. Which would get decluttered right away for me. I'd much rather have an eye mask. But it's funny the things people think are universally wanted.
I’m recovering from the Vaccine Booster I got yesterday and I’m so excited to sit down on my couch tonight and watch this on my TV! That’s my routine anytime you upload btw hehe, and I always look forward to it!
I'm making my brother a shadow box of stuff from his western travels this summer, I'm making my best friend magnetic palettes out of cigar boxes & depotting her palettes for her to condense her eyeshadow collection, I got my mom a pretty pastel drip fleece blanket w cut outs of her puppy's face all over it 🤭 I'm getting my fiance new shoes bc his are worn out, & getting my dad pajama pants & slippers!
I bought everyone a high quality pair of footwear, suited to their fashion style and lifestyle. Lots of Red Wing. Shhhhhh 🥰
I love these gift ideas. Got my dad (the guy who has everything) a leather pick case because he plays guitar and he seemed really touched he ran to go get his picks lol. Also will be giving my mom new athletic shoes because we walk together almost every day. I love giving gifts!
I’m so ready for the Babaa video!
I’ve accumulated enough to last me a lifetime… (5) and I’m actually intending on it. They have become a part of my everyday uniform. I think it helps my ADHD to be honest…wearing this wool feels therapeutic, the feeling of safety, a big warm hug! The smell slightly of sheep grazing in their pastures…don’t get me started on the textures! Babaa you overwhelm me in the most pleasant way! There is something special even about the scratchiness. I like to pick out the scratchy bits of hay… however I leave the ones that don’t bother me, I think it’s charming lol. Also all my sweaters have softened to the point I can wear a T-shirt underneath. I also never thought it to be possible with me and my sensitivity issues.
I love hearing your recommendations! I think it's because you are so eloquent in explaining why something is good/would be a good gift and who it might be good for. Another fantastic video!
I almost always give books to people, especially my mom because we both read so much. I love giving someone a novel that I enjoyed and think they’ll like, it feels so personal and special to me. It can be cheap too. I work at B&N so I get a good discount BUT I have also been known to give secondhand books. I know for some people that’s a major gift giving faux paus, but I love the sense of life and magic that secondhand items often have.
I have a lot of cooks and bakers in my family so I love to give high quality or artisan or local versions of key ingredients (honey, maple syrup, vanilla extract, olive oil, etc) to people I know will use them and love them. Also for people with a sweet tooth, I recommend "Desert Person" by Claire Saffitz as a cookbook. It has non dessert items in it too.
I enjoyed this SO much, it was very inspiring and gave me lots of ideas for great gifts. Thank you for putting it together! :)
Hannah you are my favourite human EVER right now- I ordered printfresh pjs and a kantha robe for my mum, and i know for a fact they are the perfect gift for her- you goddess!! i can't wait for her to see them, and also, you have impeccable taste! i hope someone gets you Christmas gifts as gorgeous as the ones on this list :))
I love to give presents. I’m glad to see your picks!
FYI: "gold fill" holds up super well, and is a step between vermeil and solid gold. It's a thicker layer of gold around the base metal. I have some gold fill earrings I have worn 364 days a year for ten years and they still look amazing.
Woah, I had just bought wolf and moon studs on cyber Monday! Never heard of them before thanksgiving. I was really sold on the gorgeous wood backing
i love cookbooks as gifts! i regularly cook with one of my friends and we often end up buying each other cookbooks then cooking from them together, it's so lovely!
For frames I like to go to my secondhand shop and buy art that has a really beautiful frame and use that!
Your gift ideas are amazing! Thank you for sharing them; they are definitely worth checking out.
That stiched robe is divine !
Ah a 45 minute gift guide, just another example of how you are, in fact, my brain personified.
I don't usually feel like I get a lot out of gift giving reccomendations videos, but I loved this one. I got great ideas for friends and myself. I have to go back and watch your video from last year!
Thank you for telling me about Printfresh! I have two sets - one I bought myself and another gifted from my husband for my first Mother’s Day. Their pajamas are such a special gift!
im mainly gifting makeup and body care type products. as well as scented candles. my sisters opened their makeup advent calendars already and loved them
I bought myself the print fresh pajamas last year 😂
I love your gift videos b/c I’m usually good at gifts but Lately I’ve been running out of ideas haha
Cookbooks! I had not thought of that and its true they are great gifts. Thanks Hannah!
love love love your gift guides!! consistently great ideas!! my love language is also gift-giving and this year i am giving baggus, homemade cookie boxes, hard-to-kill plants, and wright socks (amazing socks! got them for a hiking trip because they are double layer and blister resistant; they aren't the cheapest in the world but they are worth it! always an excellent gift for any and everyone, especially for people you don't know like your aunt's new boyfriend or your friend's friend who's coming to the party. can't go wrong)
your videos are so wholesome and this one is no exception! thank you for your heartfelt recommendations and your sincerity overall
A long story -- Static Nails polish lasts 4 days on me, tops. I had high hopes but my nails are so bad. So an aside about nail polish in case this helps anyone: My nails are thin and they peel. Have been this way all my iife. I love a beautiful nail polish but it lasts 2 days on me before starting to chip, and so I can't wear it unless I want to do a manicure several times a week. No Can Do.
I found Dazzle Dry about a month ago and a manicure lasts 2 weeks, FOR REAL, on me. This is LIFE CHANGING if polish has only lasts a few days on you, as it did on me in the past. It's a system and you have to get the system. It does not harm your nails, there is no UV light to use but it lasts better than gel manicures on me. It's actually good for your nails. BUT WAIT THERE IS MORE! It's BONE DRY in 5 minutes after you put in the top coat. As in, you can GO TO BED and there will be no smudges or dents in the polish in the morning. I do not work for Dazzle Dry, I just found then via a RUclips Channel, The Salon Life. Check it out, I bet you'll love it. The channel and the polish! p.s. it's not cheap but far cheaper than just a few gel manicures, plus no nail damage. Check online, it's easy to find 20% off coupons all the time. The Salon Life has them in their description box.
My go to gift, especially for the men in my life, is fancy snacks! You'd never buy them for yourself, it's incredibly customisable to the individual in both taste, sweet/salty, and ethics, small/local producers, and dietary restrictions are easily worked with. They also aren't things that will potentially clutter up their space, which is a big thing for me. I like to give gifts that people will actually use and enjoy.
Hannah, you got me again. i tend to be super tight with money during the cold months for student loan reasons (genuinely, german student loans are great but only if you get through the beurocratic process quick enough) and it took everything in me not to impulsively buy some printfresh pyjamas last year. and i am feeling the urge again.
the small hoops with the dangly chain? i gasp
I got my best friend a custom necklace of her beloved cat's name. You can find a few sellers on Etsy making them, and it's surprisingly affordable for something so personal. I also curated a small palette of "special shadows" from JD Glow. She enjoys makeup and is interested in trying new brands but feels overwhelmed by the world of indies, so I wanted to share some of my favorite shades. My mom wanted a salt cellar, so I got her a handmade one from an Etsy seller; it has cute little mushrooms on top. It's one of a kind and acts as functional decor, which makes for a perfect gift. Next year, I may get them both one of those beautiful sari robes.
I need this! Gift giving is decidedly NOT my love language- it stresses me out so much. I love Christmas, but I wish everyone in my life was into the idea of skipping gifts entirely. No giving, no receiving (except for children, they are fun to shop for)
Awesome sauce Hannah! Love gift giving!!! Thanks for this!
This was a very enjoyable video, Hannah, even though I’m finished with my holiday shopping. Thank you.
Gifting is soooo much fun! I went low budget this year. For the ladies I know wear mascara I got the rephr curler (best curler ever IMO) and a tube of my favorite clean mascara. For the office staff I put vanilla in bottles for extracting in may so it should be ready soon and am experimenting with making my own candles (which is not going as planned yet but not giving up). For the boys I got lightweight cotton (tshirt material) zip hoodies. My family just gives me gift cards which are great and get used but they r so impersonal and feel kinda cold to me. I think gifting takes a certain person and not everyone has the interest or capacity. Great video.
I didn’t know there were earrings with screws on the back. It always hurts on me with the metal poking behind the ear but I’m going to look this up. Thanks for the tip! 😊
Ohhh my goodness. This was so helpful! You're so great!
the blue & big cat print! how amazing!
Highly recommend Death Valley Nails for really cool textural nail polishes. They have this Dust to Dust collection that features polishes made out of sustainably sourced minerals and even cattle bones. It's like the nail polish equivalent of Roen eye shadows.
The cookbook “Bottom of the Pot: Persian Recipes and Stories” Is incredible. It’s all about Iranian cooking! I spent quarantine perfecting my Tahdig! 🥰 I second Jerusalem…I have that one too! Two other great cookbooks I received are: “On Vegetables”, by Jeremy Fox (it’s gorgeous) and Ottolenghi’s, “Flavor”
P.S. I bought a Kantha robe from the shop you recommended for my mom! There were so many gorgeous ones. I can’t wait for her to open it!
What do you think of the Jeremy Fox book? Did you get a chance to try it out?
I gift books often but I do tailor the book choice to what I think they'll enjoy.
All aboard the indie nail polish train! Why not get something truly unique and support a small business at the same time! My favourites include Emily de Molly who makes THE best formula and some of the prettiest shades you could ever wish for. I'm not affiliated, I just love their product and have been a fan for almost a decade.
I re-watched last year's video in preparation for this one and it all makes so much more sense now with another year's anecdotes and patreon content
I love the solid gold jewellery idea. Its also a great investment, if any day you need the money, you have the option to sell it and get a decent amount for it.
As an Indian, its almost imperative for us to own solid gold, getting our first piece as soon as we're born. It's always viewed both as an adornment and as a reserve.
I'm a cooking fanatic, and this year I'm buying my mama some SouperCubes. they're like a huge ice cube tray for leftovers, and they changed the freezer game for me! You freeze the exact portion size you want, and all of the frozen cubes can be popped out to fit perfectly in a gallon-sized zip-lock bag. No more freezing in jars or weird tupperware! No more having to defrost the whole block just to eat half of it. it makes it so much easier to actually use the food you freeze for later.
You look like a fierce wolf queen! In all the best and beautiful ways!!!!!!! 🥰😍
I am all about candles, and my giftthing is a candle made out of stearine wax (eco palm, rapeseed, soy...) I think they are extra 'chique' and because of the eco wax, they feel more luxurious :)
Obviously I’m here for HLP approved gift giving but your hair looks exquisite 🔥🔥🔥
An electric throw or blanket makes an amazing gift. My mom got me one as a Christmas present but she already gave it to me bc i was feeling miserable from the cold (im probs being a little dramatic cuz i live in texas) but ya its so comfy
If I could replace all of my pajamas with printfresh jammies and give all of my family members printfresh jammies I would do it in a heartbeat. All I have is one robe from them and I'm obsessed with it. I wear it around the house literally every day. Sweatpants? Loungewear? I don't know her. All I know is this fierce robe I strut around in ruling over my domain (a small city apartment lmao).
These were amazing recommendations, thank you!! Your videos are so soothing to me. From a lover of beautiful things, I hope you have a good evening or day 💛
My partner is obsessed with coffee so I got him a coffee advent calendar. And then I heard about a card board game from another youtuber. It's called We're Not Really Strangers, and basically has question cards you ask the other players that helps you get to know them on a deeper level. I'm trying out a couple different editions as gifts. The cookbook gift sounds great, I will try and keep it in mind for the future
I give a lot of consumables - my friend moved away from Philly so she's getting soft pretzels, my grandfather gets fancy cheese, I get my brother a different extremely fancy chocolate every year, that sort of thing.
I'm living for the 70s rock star vibes of this new haircut. I have massive shag envy. I've got an apt. for a few weeks from now...OMG I have one of the kantha robes from the etsy shop. I got it like five-ish years ago and it's the greatest. It's light weight, gets softer the more you wash it and I've always loved the print I got. I completely agree that it looks way more expensive than it actually is. May Anthropologie with and die away because we can buy direct from India on Etsy. My gifts: Son--antique Edwardian top hat from Etsy, husband: One Piece of Norway knitted onesie, Mom: Quilted down jacket from Land's End because they actually have petites in outerwear, Bestie: knitting book she asked for an some home made treats from my kitchen...
Loved this video. I have a few Print Fresh pjs and love them. For some reason I hadn’t thought to gift them. Used your code and now I have a bday gift checked off my list! A go to gift for me is the Agate cheeseboard from Anthro. It’s very high end looking and versatile. $70ish but often on sale for $50ish.
I probably said this last year, but my gift idea has been baking cookies for several years. Its good for people who have everything. There are recipes to fit everyone. You get much bang for your buck since your labor is most of the gift. Many types of cookies also stay good for weeks or months so you can prepare them early.
The garlic tart in Plenty is delicious 🤤. I made it for my former roommates and got rave reviews. It is very rich, so it pairs nicely with a light salad.
