Accessories
This Hair Clip Set is truly a unicorn among the many options on the market. They work great on both short and long hair and on a variety of hair types. Five of my close friends own these clips, and we all still love them 2 years later.
If your giftee has an Apple Watch, these silicone Skinny Watch Bands could be a useful gift. The thicker watch bands that come with the device overwhelm my wrist, so I prefer the more subtle look of these, and they come in a ton of colors.
This Layering Necklace Set costs less than $20 and still looks just as pristine as the day I got it over a year ago! You could gift your friend’s first or last initial or the initial of their child, partner, or pet! They also come as two separate pieces so they can be mixed and matched with other necklaces.
Madewell Scarf/Headbands are super versatile accessories that can add a little color to a neutral outfit or add a unique detail to your favorite backpack or purse.
This Workout Top is a dupe for the Lululemon Align top, and the quality is top notch. I’ve washed mine more times than I can count and they still look brand new. (I don’t dry any of my athletic wear, though, so I recommend air drying this one!)
Bryan and I own three of these beanies, and they’re ultra cozy. They come in 30+ different colors, and they could easily be rolled up and tucked inside a stocking.
I use an Elastic Headband every night to wash my face. This one is simple enough to be worn out of the house, too.
Scrunchies crease my hair way less overnight than a typical ponytail holder. This Scrunchie Set could be gifted together or among several friends alongside other items from this list.
This Knotted Headband from Rifle Paper Co. comes in so many different patterns to suit many different
Beauty
If you have a friend who loves doing an at-home manicure, this Cuticle Pusher and Trimmer set is under $10 and great quality. It could be fun to pair this with a top coat and base coat to compliment the polish they likely already have.
The Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask is widely loved for good reason. It truly heals dry, cracked lips overnight and a little goes a long way.
For $5, you could add a Billie Razor Starter Kit to a stocking this season. It comes with a razor, replacement razor head, and a magnetic shower wall mount that keeps the conditioned part of the razor head from getting gunk everywhere.
Holders
I was given a ring dish as an engagement gift several years ago, and it now lives on my bedside table and is used nightly. I love the different patterns available in this Floral Ring Dish style! This Trinket Dish would be nice for your Type A friend who likes their jewelry organized, and this Monogrammed Ring Dish would add a personalized touch and keep the dust off their everyday favorites.
A Passport Holder and Wallet is handy for a frequent international traveler. It’s nice to keep your passport, other forms of ID, and cards all in one place that can easily be slipped into a zippered pocket for safe keeping.
If you have a road warrior in your family, this Phone Car Mount could be a good option. It makes changing your music and referencing your navigation a lot less dangerous for those still driving something similar to my 2010 sedan with no fancy navigation systems or bluetooth integration!
Drinkware
If someone in your life is a cocktail aficionado, then gifting a Traditional Jigger with measurements would be a great gift. It takes the guesswork and math out of adding tiny amounts of obscure ingredients to their next delicious drink.
A Single Ice Mold in a globe shape would be well loved by a whisky or bourbon lover in your life. Bryan loves a simple cocktail, and he uses these at home when he’s feeling fancy.
This Multi Ice Mold creates large blocks of ice that add a fun and modern look to any drink that you don’t want watered down quickly. The silicone mold makes them super simple to remove, too!
The OXO Wine Aerator & Stopper is a two-in-one gift that the wine lover in your life would use often!
