FOR THE ENTERTAINER
Handy Appetizer Plates - These appetizer/charcuterie plates attach to any stemmed glassware so you don't have to do the "where do I set my glass down while I grab this cheese off my plate" dance! Clever & perfect for parties and holidays.
Colored Wine Glasses - So beautiful! So classy! (And pair perfectly with the appetizer plates above😉) I love that they are different colors so everyone can keep track of their drink the whole night.
Big Boards Recipe Book - I love the idea of this book because while charcuterie & appetizers are super fun to make & always delicious, it can sometimes be overwhelming to know where to start. It seems like this recipe book has ideas from small bites to salad boards...YUM!
Taco Tuesday Mini Crockpots - OMG these are so so cute!! Perfect for a taco bar or chips & dip station.
FOR THE HOMEBODY
The Comfy Wearable Blanket - It's a giant, wearable, long-as-a-dress hoodie with sherpa inside. So warm and literally like wearing a hug on your body.
Lap Tray - Plop it in your lap on the couch or in the bed for a flat surface for eating, working on your laptop, journaling, whatever you need a steady space for without having to get out of your seat.
Kindle - Of course this only really works for someone that's a reader but it's so nice to have all your books in one place PLUS you can read in the dark without straining your eyes.
Pura Smart Fragrance Device - Basically like a scent plug-in but with tech! If you're going to be at home, it may as well smell delish too. It holds 2 different scents, and you can set up timed schedules, have it automatically turn on/off as you come & go, set timers, & adjust scent intensity. All right on the phone app! Another perk is that all the fragrances are safe for pets & kids so you can worry less about making your house smell nice. Use code: KRISTINAWITHTHEK for a discount off your device purchase!
FOR THE BEAUTY GURU
Makeup Eraser - I cannot live without my makeup erasers! They are little cloths that can take your makeup off with just water.
LumiSpa - Another thing I cannot live without! For everything your makeup eraser (or your hands for that matter) doesn't take off, the Lumi has got your back. Made of anti-microbial nickel & silicone (no moldy bristles, thank you), the head dual oscillates so it pulls all the impurities out of your pores rather than just pushing them around. Clinically proven to increase softness, smoothness, radiance, clarity, purified skin, reduce pore appearance, and visibly improve firmness.
Face Ice Roller - Keep it in the fridge or freezer & the metal roller piece will get super cold. It helps de-puff, brighten, and soothe your face, neck, and decolletage. Plus, it just feels nice!
Pout Preserve Peptide Lip Treatment - Who doesn't love a boujee lip balm/gloss that tastes & smells like creamsicle? This is ALL I've been using this winter. Keeps lips hydrated & repairs cracking, and yes, it actually works.
FOR THE CRAFTY DIY-ER
Hand Lettering 101 Workbook - I've recently gotten into hand lettering (basically the new version of calligraphy), and it is so relaxing! Allows me to get crafty & creative but doesn't require a million things to get started. It's also fairly simple to learn - just takes some practice to get it "perfect"!
Diamond Painting Kit - I refuse to get one of these kits because I was a baton twirler growing up and rhinestoned sooooo many costumes. This just reminds me of that haha! But I know lots of other people that enjoy these so much. It's basically a paint by number with little gems!
Adult Coloring Book - As an adult, coloring has become such a relaxing activity for me. Really increases mindfulness and gives your brain something to do if you're someone that just can't "turn off". Don't forget markers or pencils!
Woobles Beginner Crochet Kit - The company Woobles boasts having easy yarn to learn how to crochet with and includes video tutorials. They also have a Facebook group if you need some support & help from fellow Wooblers! Each kit is a tiny little character (some of them even have accessories), and I've heard it is addicting once you get started.
Punch Needle Coasters Kit - I had never heard of punch needling until I happened upon this kit on Amazon and thought they looked like such a fun little project that hopefully won't have too large of a learning curve! So...never tried before but I've ordered for myself now that I've seen it.
FOR THE FAMILY
Cup Cozy Pillow - No more fighting over side table space, coasters, or cup holders. This convenient little pillow can hold up to 5 drinks or you can use the space for your remote, Kindle, book, or anything else you need handy on your couch or bed.
Mexican Train Dominoes Game - Easy to learn game that's fun with 2 people or 8! I love that everything fits inside the carrying case so you can take it on-the-go. I also love that there's multiple rounds within a game so it's easy to play for a short period of time and pick back up again later right where you left off!
Souper Cubes - Save your leftover soups, sauces, stews, and dishes in these convenient half cup cubes. Just pop this into the freezer after filling it up. Then, you can defrost each cube individually as one meal, rather than defrosting a TON of leftovers at a time. Also come in 1 cup, 2 cup, and 2 tablespoon sizes.
Frameo Digital Photo Frame - I got one of these for my in-laws a couple years ago, and it ended up being such a good gift that they still use today. The best part about it is that once it's set up, any family member can download the app and add their own photos to the frame. So even though Michael & I are far away from them, we can send our recent photos of us & baby pup Teddy, and they make it to the frame.
STOCKING STUFFERS FOR EVERYONE
Aquaphor Lip Balm - Must have for winter!
Head Massager - Feels so good and is super relaxing.
Shower Steamers - One of my favorite gifts to give & receive. While everyone doesn't have a tub to enjoy a luxurious bath (nor do some people even like baths), everyone does have a shower! Turn the shower into a spa experience with shower steamers. Just throw them onto the shower floor and the aromatherapy scent will rise up throughout your shower. The eucalyptus & mint ones are especially great for helping relieve a stuffy nose or cold.
Hair Brush Cleaner - Everyone needs this but not a lot of people have one. And if you're not cleaning out your hairbrush, then it's just collecting hair, dust, dead skin, oils, product buildup...YUCK! Use the pick side to get out all the hair and the brush side to remove all the dust & build-up. You're welcome! (And don't forget to grab one for yourself)
Carhartt Beanie - I feel like you can never go wrong with a classic beanie! Warm for the winter, stylish, and a good idea for men & women.
