Weighted Blankets
Not to brag, but we consider ourselves experts on blankets. How do people sit on the couch without one? Imagine having no blanket. We could never.
A weighted blanket is like a hug from your favorite person, but without being all peopley. Sometimes you just need to get away, you know?
Ok enough about us. All that to say, blankets are always welcome in terms of gift ideas, and this weighted blanket will make anyone happy.
Beanies
Beanies do the impossible, really. Every single person looks good in them. EVERY SINGLE PERSON!
There are so many great variations and styles, it is in the rare category of great gift ideas that are perfect for every single person on your list. They also keep you warm, but sometimes that is besides the point.
Bombas Socks
We are being serious now. Socks! Great gift ideas! Until recently, we pshawed the idea that quality (read – more expensive) socks were worth it. All socks are the same, right?
WRONG. WE WERE SO WRONG. There is such a huge difference that now we enthusiastically endorse high-quality socks as great gift ideas.
Facial Hair Remover
This is a feminine facial hair remover, and I promise it is not a passive-aggressive way of telling you that you have a moustache.
Shaving that super fine hair really does improve how your make-up applies and looks on your face! This does not hurt at all and is very quiet and compact.
Heated Blankets
Remember what we said about our love of blankets? This is a SUPER LOVE product.
Snuggling up under a warm blanket is bliss. It could be because it is freezing outside or it could be because the air conditioner is set to arctic. Either way, having a heated blanket is amazing and a top tier gift!
Sol De Janeiro hair and body spray
Tiktok made us do it.
We had not heard of this hair and body mist before, but it is crazy popular both for how yummy it smells and how economical it is. This is a winner of a gift idea, especially if you are buying for a teen girl or young woman.

Crop Top/Bralette
Affordable and fashionable, these crop tops are really versatile for every day wear.
During the heat of summer they can be worn as a top for a cute, hot weather look. During fall and winter, they are a great layering piece under cardigans or jackets.
Available in packets of three for a really great price, this is a gift she will really love and make great use of.
Unisex belt bag
These are actually brilliant. No longer mocked for being what only dorky people wear, we love to use these cross body so that our hands are free but our valuables are close.
Perfect day to day, but ESPECIALLY perfect if you are going to a theme park, music festival, or any type of activity like that. Keep everything nice and safe but have your hands free to ride that roller coaster or throw your hands in the air as you are jamming out to your favorite band.
Fidgit pen and attachments
Keep that part of your brain busy with these fidget items, as the other part of your brain is trying to concentrate on something. We know how it is!
