I bought myself a set of these coupes glasses for my birthday and they bring me so much joy. Although I mostly drink orange juice or seltzer out of them these days.

My go-to fleece turtleneck (made from recycled plastic bottles by two friends of mine) is always a hit. It is, hands down, the most worn item in my closet and is also my favorite gift to give!
This is the only hair dryer I use now. I never knew how to give myself a blowout before this thing. Game-changer for $40!
Once you switch to a silk pillowcase, you’ll never switch back. It’s good for wrinkles/aging skin as well as hair breakage.
I get asked about my phone case on a daily basis. I love the wide array of monogrammed options from TDE.

Anel’s favorite joggers, hands down.
A classy and practical gift for the guy who has everything.
You can’t go wrong with classic tartan.
Amalia got this grocery store toy as a gift earlier this year and to say she’s obsessed with it is an understatement
We bought this mom-founded non-toxic play dough kit at the beginning of quarantine and it still gets a ton of use. It is great for creativity.

My aunt gave this to us for Amalia’s birthday and it was such a fun and unexpected gift! You download an app that teaches you to build animals out of clay.
A sustainable gift that also looks nice on a kitchen counter? That’s a win/win in my book!
The “it” kitchen gadget of the season is worth the hype! It is a million things in one: fry pan, steamer, skillet, saucier, saucepan, non-stick pan, spatula, and spoon rest.
Who isn’t baking sourdough bread these days? Might as well read up on it first!
Great for tired moms or tired college kids, this ice roller works wonders on under-eye bags. I swear by mine.
Equilibria drops changed my life. I miss them so much in my pregnancy! They helped with my anxiety, my sleep, and general well-being. Use code LEMONSTRIPES for 15% off sitewide

I’ve been dying to try one of these. This mat is on my list after hearing great things about it.
So cozy and preppy! This poncho would make a great addition to any prepster’s wardrobe.
It doesn’t get preppier than a Boat & Tote. We use them for beach bags, daycare bags, shopping bags, and everything else in our house. I love them for a gift and to use as gift bags.
I mean… how cute is this tiny, sparkly Bean Boot ornament? It makes me laugh and also I want one…
I swear by this curling wand system. In my opinion it’s worth the hefty price tag!
My friend Ashley makes the most beautiful jewelry. This pretty wrap bracelet is so much fun to wear. It makes a great gift for yourself or your bestie.
This has been my go-to tote for years and years, but I love the oversized option to fit a laptop and any kid-related items.

Someone gave me this as a gift a few years ago and I still love it! I refuse to burn it down because it’s too pretty.
I got this for Christmas last year and use it to organize my purse every single day. Such a cute gift for a girlfriend or coworker.
The perfect bag for a weekend getaway or day trip (whenever we do those again). I have it in navy.
Because who doesn’t want wine?
I love this as a coffee table book that also schools you on vino.
A pretty little monogrammed catchall tray to hold jewelry and trinkets.
I use and love this notepad so much! It has a section for to-do lists, each hour of the day, and even a gratitude list.
The perfect holiday mask set. Get them before they sell out.
This mug feels very timely… Go Kamala!
A cheery pair of earrings guaranteed to bring a smile to anyone’s face.

This small-but-mighty gift will make a difference for any avocado-lovers in your life. We used to waste avocado halves constantly and haven’t in a year since we got these!
These dolls made by artisans in Peru are one of my favorite baby gifts to give because for every ethically produced, hand-knit doll purchased, 10 meals are provided to children in need.
A Lemon Stripes reader and mom started this business and makes the most beautiful keepsake boxes to save important items for your littles

Amalia used to love finger puppets as a baby. We used to have her in stitches by singing Old MacDonald with these!
For anyone avoiding the nail-salon in COVID times, this kit is the perfect gift. It has everything you need for a professional at-home manicure including a tool that makes painting your nails foolproof.
I am addicted to this exfoliator that I’ve been using weekly for a few months. It smells like a spa and makes my skin soft like a baby.
These scrunchies take time out of drying your hair and would make the perfect stocking stuffer. After I wash, I pull my hair back in this scrunchie while I get dressed and do my face routine. My hair is half dry by the time I get to blow drying it!
A good basket for harvesting is a must. Anel likes the flat shape of this one and how much it can hold. It’s on his Christmas list!
Anel recommended this for beginner gardeners who want to start with a nice set of tools. The chair is nice for long hours in the garden too.
These are the best pruners around, hands down. They’re extra sharp, easy to use, and you can find them pretty much anywhere. Once you go Felco you’ll never go back.
We love our Furbo because we can spy on Boots when we’re out of the house and send him treats to tell him we love him.
We bought Boots this beautiful dog bed for a birthday gift and he loves curling up in it. It’s equal parts cozy for pups and stylish for your home.
Bark Box might be the greatest dog gift of all time. Someone gifted us a subscription when we first got Boots and he LOVED when the boxes would arrive each month! You can gift one month or a subscription.
