✨Charlotte's Holiday Gift Guide✨
Fun ideas for yourself & friends
Thinking generously is always at the top of my list when the holidays are approaching. With family, close friends, fellow small biz owners and so many beloved people in my life, it is super fun to think of gifts and support brands I love. We try to prioritize shopping small biz during the holiday season and beyond, so if you have any recs for brands to check out, please pass them along!
Happy holidays to you and yours! I’m so thankful you’re here.

1. In lieu of buying things, I always love an experience. Even better if that experience involves getting very dressed up. Highly recommend splitting seasons tickets to the opera or buying yourself an art museum membership!
2. My best friend is always on top of any new beauty trend! She bought this shower head and I gotta say, it’s amazing!!
3. These socks are just the best. Best stocking stuffer ever!
4. My friends always buy me books for Christmas and it’s the best! We then swap them all year long so it’s the gift that keeps on giving. Some on my must read list are this, this and this!
5. And speaking of books, I love nothing more than gifting, or being gifted a cookbook. I like to read them cover to cover and take a mini vacation in my brain! Currently crushing on everything Renee Erickson! Her newest here, and these two I own and love.
6. Another great stocking stuffer, and the most used utensil in my kitchen, is this. I’ve gifted one to all my friends and they now gift to other people. Trust me!
7. Holidays are for lounging and hopefully we all get plenty of that rest and relaxation. My favorite lounge sets are from my friend Alexa at Ratboi. This and this are on my list!
8. If you have the time and patience (and you should!) deep diving for vintage charms on Etsy is really fun and such a good gift for someone super special in your life! Here are some I’ve got my eye on! This, this, and this!
9. Another great thing to gift, or give yourself, is a subscription to a great Substack! My personal favorite right now is Ali Labelle, I never miss a post!
10. And last but not least, for the pet lover in your life, I’m obsessed with this shampoo for my dog Roxy. It smells so good. Get the pet fragrance too!
11. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. The Dries Van Noten refillable lipsticks are insanely gorgeous. Just get the lip gloss if you’re not 100% sure what color someone will like. They come in archival silk pouches from Dries’ runway shows that the lucky recipient can use as an evening purse! Or you could go with this beautiful fragrance box set…swoon..
12. A quirky little gift for the modern home body is this neon stick from Hay. I have the large amber one and it gives off the nicest warm light at my kitchen bar!
13. For the board gamers in your life: get this for the couple who like to play games for two. It’s both beautiful and easy to learn. Get this, this or this for the folks that like party games! Codenames and Just One are two of my faves and Decrypto I’m going to gift to myself and learn for the next game night!
14. We launched these gorgeous scarves this year and I get so much use out of mine! It’s a great piece to style into your every day; around your bag, around your pony tail, tied onto your belt loop. Just a little something-something to add flair to someones day : )
15. A super cute little host/hostess gift or stocking stuffer for the curious friend in your life. Never stop learning!
16. For the person who has everything, get a set of these. They’ll instantly make your bathroom smell gorgeous and add a little luxury as well. Or the home fragrance box set would definitely get you invited back.
17. This little set has been on my wishlist for a very long time. If I had a BF I would be dropping hints for this lol!
18. Quirky and cute, these would be so fun for kids and kids at heart : )
