Christmas Gift Favorites!

Christmas gift ideas can be hard to come by!  Fortunately, most kiddos have plenty on their wish lists…toys, games, electronics! But sometimes finding the perfect gift for friends and adult family members can seem difficult! Even coming up with hostess gift ideas can be overwhelming especially when we need several to take to holiday celebrations.  So today I’d like to share some of my favorite goodies that might make great gifts for those on your list.  With so many people trying to de-clutter and simplify their homes and lives, thoughtful gifts that are on the useful side are always a nice choice.  But I promise, just because they’re sort of practical, they’re no less fun & festive!  And while there’s so many more goodies out there that I’d love to feature…these are some of my top favorites and I’ll share where you can get them!  Get ready to check some Christmas gifts off your list!

de-stress with these Christmas gift ideas!

giggle living may have received payment and/or product. however i only endorse products i love and all opinions are my own

these are a few of my favorite things…hopefully you’ll find something you love too!

something fresh…

flower arrangements are always a thoughtful gift.  and you can add your own touch to personalize a simple bouquet…

try gluing wood numbers or shapes to bamboo skewers and pop them into a little bouquet!  an easy way to add a fun detail!

something sweet…and salty!

edibles are another fantastic Christmas gift idea!  i’m absolutely nuts for these delicious caramels!  perfect for a hostess!

another personal favorite…popcorn!  this cute tin can be filled with your choice of butter, caramel, or cheddar popcorn OR an assortment of all three!

you might of noticed the cute tags?  great thing about these babies is once you buy them, you can print off as many as you need when you need them!

something practical…

i happen to love practical gifts!  and when they’re darling, that’s a bonus!  how fun are these Swedish dish towels?  they come in super fun patterns and are eco-friendly, washable, and biodegradable!

speaking of all natural…i adore these bars of soap!   this handmade, palm-free soap has a mild aftershave scent and is truly a favorite of my husband AND my boys!

something warm & soothing…

there’s something so cozy about candles and they’re definitely one of my go-to gifts!  i love that it’s soy, the simple packaging and that it has such a fun scent too!

most gals love receiving beauty products…and this is my current favorite lip plumping balm!  it smells like peppermint pillow-mints and it soothes & plumps up your smackers!

you can make a teeny-tiny gift look special by adding a pretty embellishment like this tiny wreath made from a wire garland topped with a paper posie! a dollop of hot glue will hold it altogether…

keep your mitts toasty with these handmade mittens!  all are unique and one-of-a-kind!  (these beauties are made locally but if you’re not in the area, check out Etsy!)

more Christmas gift ideas…

who would turn their nose up at a darling cookie jar?  i’m obsessed with little houses and this treat container is just so sweet and can be used all year!  pair it with a matching cookie cutter…or even bake some cookies to go inside!

this festive ribbon is a fun choice for tying the cutter to the jar, or just add it as part of the gift!

tiny houses are such a popular trend and i’m giddy for these tiny, faux gingerbread versions!  use them as a holiday decoration, an ornament, or even a cake topper!

and for the entertainer…choose a pretty cake stand or a faux cake!  anyone who loves to decorate or throw parties would be thrilled with any one of these goodies!

i’d leave this non-perishable trio up in my house all December!

so i hope you loved some of my favorites this season!

merry gift giving!
