10 Gift Ideas For Christmas & The Holidays: Some Newly Discovered & A Few Favorites

I’ve been doing some gift shopping online today, and as often happens, I found a few things I couldn’t resist for myself. Remember the plaid flannel sheets I ordered recently when they were on sale. They arrived a few days ago, and I love them! They washed beautifully and feel amazing to sleep on! Since they are still on sale, I’m thinking about ordering a second set for Georgia. You’ll find these super-comfortable, warm, soft sheets on sale here: Flannel Plaid Sheet Set.

Of course, anytime I put together a gift guide, it’s going to include this awesome weather station. I have several of these and rely on them every day. They make excellent gifts, and in addition to being practical, I think they are really pretty, too. You’ll find this weather station available here: Weather Station.

In addition to these merino wool socks that I wear on pretty much a daily basis since they are so soft and warm…

…there’s another style that I wear but rarely mention. I  always think of these as my “boot” socks since they are thicker, but lately I’ve changed my mind about that. I’ve been wearing them with my HOKA sneakers, and they fit great with those, too. I always thought they would be too thick for sneakers, but that hasn’t been the case. I love how these are designed—the part that’s striped around the arch area is nicely fitted to the foot, so there’s no excess bulk. Had to share them since I really love how warm and comfortable they are. MY DIL and I both really like them! You’ll find them available here: Merino Wool Socks.

Here’s a great stocking stuffer idea. These fingernail/toenail clippers are very well made. They come in a nice storage box, which I really like. Very much recommend these and you’ll find them here: Excellent Clippers.

I purchased this hair dryer a year or so back for the Dollhouse, and have really enjoyed using it! I’ve been hoping to replace the ancient hair/blow dryer that I have back in Georgia, but unfortunately, this one is no longer available.

I just ordered this one tonight, based on all its 5-star reviews. It appears to have all the features of hair dryers that cost a lot more, and the price is very reasonable. If you could use a new hair dryer, you’ll find this one available here: Hair Dryer. Be sure and check out the reviews.

I pretty much never follow trends. Ninety-nine percent of the time, I don’t even know what is trending. So I didn’t buy or try a Stanley tumbler until this past spring when I purchased these two. I think I saw these designs on Instagram (or somewhere online) and loved the design. Since owning and using these, I have become a fan. I really like how much they hold!

I actually purchased this soft pink version several months back, but ended up returning it since I convinced myself I didn’t need 3 Stanley tumblers. This evening, I discovered it was on sale, so I went for it. I think the Rose Quartz color is so pretty—such a gorgeous soft pink! It will be perfect for those days when I want t.o use a more understated tumbler. Hopefully, whenever you’re reading this, it will still be on sale. You’ll find it on sale for just $27 here: 40 oz Stanley Tumbler in Rose Quartz.

I haven’t succumbed to the Bogg Bag craze, but these cute Christmas ones may push me over the edge. lol You’ll find these holiday versions of the Bogg Bag available here: Christmas (and other colors/designs) Bogg Bags.

I purchased a trunk organizer many years ago and have used it a ton! They are perfect for holding grocery bags upright so they don’t turn over the car. This one is collapsible like mine, which means you can fold it down flat when you don’t want it taking up space in your trunk/car or the back of your SUV. I really like this one, and it has great reviews here: Collapsible Car/SUV Trunk Organizer.

I bought these for the movie room, and they have come in handy a lot. They are super sturdy and come in two different colors. I think a set of these would make a great gift, and you’ll find them available here: Snack Table Set with Stand.

Of course, no Christmas Gift List of mine is complete without recommending this awesome puzzle board. I won’t do a puzzle any other way now, it has spoiled me! I’m able to work on puzzles much longer now that I don’t have to bend over a table. Very much recommend this puzzle board for anyone who enjoys working puzzles. You’ll find it available here: Puzzle Board.

Hope you find some of these recommendations helpful as you shop for holiday gifts for friends and loved ones.
