Gifts For The Impossible People To Shop For

TOP (L) SIMILAR OPTION HERE AND HERE (I WEAR XL) | JEANS (31R) | HEELS (11) SIMILAR HEELS HERE AND HERE | HOOPS

Alright, I’ll admit it. I am very difficult to shop for. Each year I create a similar version of this post and it’s always a hit, this year I had BK help me. My approach to gifting is simple, I always think about how can I make their life better / easier / more luxe? What’s something they like that I can maybe improve / add to? As your go-to gal, know that I own each of these items and/or plan on gifting them myself this holiday season. In case you missed it, I kicked off gift guides a few weeks ago with my favorite ways to support small businesses, gifts for the ladies in your life and BK’s picks for the guys. Earlier this week I also shared beauty / skincare gifts in case you missed that!

Who doesn’t love a good mug? This is hands down my favorite. I use it every single day for coffee, tea and other adult beverages… Cannot recommend it enough. I also love the larger sizes for water throughout the day. 100% worth the hype!

 

As a self proclaimed slipper snob, I say you can NEVER have too many pairs of slippers. In case you missed it, I did a whole round up on my favorite pairs at all different price points. You can shop BK’s favorite pair here.

 

Does the person you’re gifting like to indulge in a good cocktail? I am a big Bloody Mary fan so I’ll always happily welcome a new mix. Consider a nice bottle of champagne or a growler of their favorite beer too!

 

Crush holiday gift-giving this year with a Winc gift card. It’s high quality varietals made by Winc winemakers for a fraction of the price of other wines. Merlot, chardonnay, or rosé? The choice is theirs. You can choose 1, 2 or a 3 month subscription depending on your budget.

 
 

This has been one of my favorite gifts to give. It’s such a unique but useful gift that people probably wouldn’t get for themselves. Ideal for hostess gifts, home-decor lovers, new homeowners, or any special occasion.

 

This five-piece, limited-edition set (including four full-size products) of must-have skincare essentials to help you achieve visibly smooth, radiant, and hydrated skin. Good for dry, normal, combination, and oily skin. Great for the person who normally wouldn’t gift themselves some self care!

 

I purchased this immediately after a close friend of mine recommended it. It’s a great versatile piece that you can wear in a bunch of ways - as a scarf or as a blanket, perfect for the work from gal!

 

This is one of the coolest gifts I have ever received. I found out so much about my family history!

 

I bought these socks for myself last year thinking “how good can they REALLY be” and I was like WHOA. This is coming from a gal who never wears socks. These make a perfect gift for the homebody with a candle or even as a stocking stuffer!

 

Okay real talk, whenever I saw people post these blankets I rolled my eyes because I was like “HOW much for a damn blanket?” But then I snagged one for myself / LWH and damn, the fabric is unlike anything I’ve ever owned. It also washes better than most blankets I’ve had. I also have this one (slightly cheaper without the print) and it’s A+.

 

This speaker was gifted to us a few years ago and we’ve gifted it a few times. It is tiny which makes it extremely portable but POWERFUL and great sound. We used to bring it along on trips (tbt) and use it outdoors frequently.

Double Wall Glass Coffee Mugs

 

For the dog owner, I purchased the “loved” one off of Oprah’s Favorite Things list with an emphasis on Black Owned Businesses and I am VERY impressed how well it fits Walter’s little potato body, as seen here. Shop more of LWH’s closet here.

 

I’ve been raving about Soma’s no show panties and pajamas for YEARS- they are so good. Their pajamas are made with lightweight rayon fibers that stay cool to the touch and keep the fabric from sticking to your body. Who doesn’t love a luxe pair of jammies? I am usually a L but like to size up to XL in button down tops.

Who doesn’t love some good stationary? I dislike buying this for myself and I’m always happy to accept personalized stationary / note paper. Snail mail is not dead!

Another Easy Idea

BUY GIFT CARDS TO THEIR FAVORITE SMALL BUSINESS

Does the person you’re buying for have a favorite hair, nail, waxing, etc. shop?
Or maybe they need a bra fitting? Have their next service be on you!

How’d I do? I hope this was helpful! Feel free to leave any questions or suggestions below and be sure to check out all previous gift guides on CaralynMirand.com here!
