This is always one of my most popular gift guides! Whether you’re shopping for a Secret Santa, a grab bag, or a stocking stuffer, these are all great options, and they can be combined for a larger gift, too.

Candle Warmer Lamp

So many people can’t burn candles because they’re in an apartment that doesn’t allow it, or they’re worried about safety of burning something and knocking it over or forgetting about it. But a candle warmer heats the candle enough so that it can be enjoyed without having to worry about lighting it! Plus, the lamp part looks so gorgeous.

Thymes Frasier Fir

In my opinion, these are the epitome of holiday candles. They smell so perfectly like a fresh Christmas tree, but without being too overpowering – smelling it puts me right into the holiday spirit. This little votive would make a perfect gift, and the vessel is cute, too.

Fuzzy Socks

I love Bombas socks in general – seamless toes are such a nice little detail! But fuzzy socks are my favorite for lounging, and they make a great gift. Bombas and fuzzy socks combined?! Perfect!

Codenames

I’m a board game fan, and I think they make a great gift because you’re gifting an item and an activity. All my friends are raving about Codenames – I haven’t played personally yet, but it sounds like so much fun.

Stojo

Stojos are so cool – they’re silicone, reusable coffee cups, but they’re also collapsible! It’s great for having on hand, or being able to rinse, collapse, and throw in a bag when you’re done with your drink. I love it as an alternative to the Stanley / Owala craze.

Sugarfina Strawberry Champagne Bears

Sometimes, you need a gift for someone you don’t know super well (or at all, in a grab bag!). In those cases, food or drink is pretty safe. These Sugarfina gummy bears are tasty, and come in a fun faux champagne bottle.

Electric Candle Lighters

This is one of those things that you cannot have enough of, because they’re so useful! It’s a sustainable alternative to matches, and I find it so much easier to use, too – the neck is bendable, so it’s still easy to light candles even when they’ve burnt way down in the jar. It’s great, and would be so cute paired with a candle for something a little more.

Christmas Tea

I love the Palais des Thes teas! They’re delicious, and they have both classic and (lightly) flavored teas, too. This is their holiday tea, and it sounds delicious. It would be great for a grab bag or holiday party host gift.

Apple Cider Doughnut Mix

This is another gift that an activity and something you can eat! Apple cider doughnuts sound delicious, but most people probably don’t have all the ingredients on hand. This is a different way to gift something tasty, and it’s a fun thing to make, too.

Mini Le Creuset

Le Creusets are classic for a reason! This little mini one is perfect for making individual sized desserts, or for using as dips / spreads, etc. Plus, it’s just fun to be able to say that you gifted a Le Creuset!

Assorted Chocolate Bar

Okay, this is clever – a single chocolate bar where each little square is a different flavor! I love the variety, and it’s something different that I haven’t seen before. It would be great as a grab bag or as an addition to another gift.

Champagne Ornament

This is a gorgeous ornament on it’s own – I love that it mixes classic and fun in the design. It’s also a great thing to gift to someone to commemorate a milestone year – new job, new house, graduation, really anything worth celebrating!

Jewelry Tray

I really love this little jewelry tray from Catbird. It would be great to gift to anyone who got engaged recently as a ring tray, or to any jewelry lovers in your life. They’re really right – jewelry is poetry!

Murder Mystery Puzzle

This is such a cool concept – it’s a puzzle that you put together, and once it’s assembled, you reveal clues to solve a murder mystery. It’s unique, and it would be fun to gift to someone and then work on it together.

Terry Cloth Headband

This is both cute and useful! It’s a terry cloth stretchy headband – I love to wear mine when I’m washing my face and doing my makeup. It keeps my hair off my face, and I look cute while doing it, too.

Mini Boat and Tote

I love my boat and tote, and I really love a mini bag – this is the perfect combination of the two! It definitely doesn’t fit as much as a standard boat and tote, but would be a great gift for someone who loves the classic style.
