STOCKING STUFFER
Possibly, Angelena’s favorite category to shop! All things fun and different that we had to share!
1. Showdown at noon. Bring your peas. Available in a larger pack for the truly dedicated. As of writing “happy20” will get a discount on any item.
2. A bag of fidgets for the car is key for keeping kids entertained without devices, especially during carpools. I am adding this fidget to my son’s stocking this year. -C
3. So delicious that I ate the whole jar in one day! -C
4. I cannot wait to try this and the wonderball. My hands hold so much tension! This little tool helps with focus and stress relief. -A
5. The most charming furry friend ornaments ever.
6. Honestly, this is one of my favorite things on the entire gift guide! Clips of interesting shape and size are fascinating. As of writing, these are out of stock but too good not to mention. So, hit the freaking notify me button people. -A
KID GIFTS
Childhood is a precious and finite gift. Finding that special treat just adds another layer of magic.
1. A children’s book is always a great idea for a gift. This one is magical.
2. A fun way to play hide and seek with kids of all ages.
3. One of a kind, little hand-made tote bags, all so charming that I can’t decide which one I want to order more. -C
4. Not sure what to gift the gamer in your life? They will love this!
5. Internet-free, retro, and over 20,000 game options. This hand-held is bad-ass! -A
6. For the kid who wants to fish ALL OF THE TIME (mine!). -A
FAMILY GIFTS
As our kids grow up, we are always trying to find activities to connect. Now, our kids sometimes send us things to add to this list, which is VERY helpful! These gifts will not disappoint.
1. Color me wow! I would love to have this little game sitting on my table. -A
2. Channel your inner creative. Block prints are an easy fun thing to do as a family. Everything you need is included, but; you can add your own creations if you are feeling extra adventurous. -A
3. My daughter actually sent me this for a family gift (which I so appreciate!). It’s colorful, squishy, and gooey; perfect for a winter break craft! -C
4. This IRL version of the classic will be an obsession at my house. -A
5. I am a huge fan of Dash products. I have them and I have gifted them more than once. This is a fun way to get in the kitchen with your kids to make some fun treats for your dog. Bonus, a portion of sales go to the North Shore American League America, the world’s largest no-kill and adoption organization. -C
6. I remember as a kid, so many families had backgammon sets. None of which were as colorful as this set which I am ordering and learning how to play this year! -C
FRIEND GIFTS
Thankfully, we have some really great friends. The kind that comes with deep conversations, big laughs, and never-ending support. We can’t wait to gift these to them!
1. For some, SEC college football is everything. These are the best glasses for big fans. Made from plant-based material, they feel elegant yet, are unbreakable, crack-proof, and chip-resistant. Drink up! -C
2. Warning: this is the most fun pasta you will ever find! Gift these to anyone obsessed with their hair and loves to eat Italian. -C
3. Huge fans of this small business and the Santa Salt is a festive way to gift a home cook.
4. Every product from Otantica Home is amazing but the turkish muslin robes stand out. Cozy, yet lightweight. 100% organic cotton and GOTS certified. Black Friday deal: 50% off the entire website.
5. For your friend who has an impressive green thumb, this propagation tray is a game changer.
6. It is so hard to find the right gift for a grieving friend, unfortunately I am searching for this more these days than I want to. This ornament is a special way to remember a loved one. -C
OUR PERSONAL LIST
Our favorite kitchen tools and some other things we just want. Gosh, we hope our family members are reading this so they can give us what we really want this year.
1. Huge acupuncture and acupressure fan here. It is incredible! I received the Shakti mat for Christmas last year and LOVE LOVE LOVE it. You’ll adjust to the spikes quickly. We included the pillow and mat combo because why should your neck be left out of the party. -A
2. A little shine but also very peaceful.
3. I have very thirsty skin and am a huge fan of thoughtfully formulated, minimal skin care. Dear Santa, pretty sure I skipped the naughty list (this year). Please deliver to my Christmas tree. -A
4. The way Chef Samin Nosrat talks about this knife sharpener she has in her home makes it sound like it’s perfect for the everyday cook and actually sharpens knives expertly. -C
5. Baking obsession #332: carved wooden cookie molds. Only question is vintage or new? -A
6. I have wanted this for a long time and when America’s Test Kitchen ranked it the best tortilla press, I added it to my Christmas list. It has so many fun color choices! -C
