Hosting during the holidays is no joke. Between cleaning, cooking, and somehow making it all look cute, our hosts and hostesses deserve a little something extra for their efforts. I love bringing a thoughtful gift that feels special but still practical, something they’ll actually use and appreciate once the guests are gone and the dishes are (finally) done.
I know there is some controversy around what age actually constitutes a "tween" but for all intents and purposes, I'm using it to describe kids 8-12, mmkay? And this gift guide was given the gold stamp of approval by my very own, adorable yet moody tween girl.

In my opinion, there’s no better way to spread joy than with gifts that make a house feel like a home. Whether you're shopping for a girlfriend who loves cozy nights in, an aunt who’s the ultimate entertainer, or someone who just moved into a new home, any of the gifts on this list bring warmth, style, and a touch of magic to any space.
The holidays are magical, but they can also be a lot. Between late nights, travel, planning, wrapping, gifting, kid performances and parties and one too many cookies and glasses of egg nog, a little self-care goes a long way during this time of year. I love giving (and getting!) gifts that help recharge, reset, and feel grounded again once the chaos slows down.
