Inside: Need some holiday gift inspiration?Here are some of my favorites. Any of these would make a wonderful present.
As with all of my gift guides, these are all items I own, have tried, or have gifted to someone.
For kids
cascadia
My college kid introduced us to this. This is a fast-moving, simple board game where you compete to build the best ecosystem. Target age is 10 years or older.
For teenagers
apple air tag
Backpacks, wallets, gym bags, keychains, etc. Help teens keep track of them.
for the puppy
nice handkerchief
They’re easy to put on and take off, and come in a variety of fun prints. (And sellers will help you find the right size for your dog.) Stewart will be wearing Christmas plaid this month!
for felines
cat bed with window
This was one of the best purchases we’ve made this year (apart from the 3 kittens). Our trio liked it so much that we got a second perch.
for grandparents
digital frame
Families can add photos from their camera rolls through the app, so memories can be constantly rotated and displayed. Choose from a variety of frames and mats.
for a friend
organic cotton sweater
A fisherman knit sweater that is available in 18 colors and has volume without being bulky. For a looser fit, size up.
For a light sleep
white noise machine
If city noise or teens making late-night snacks are disrupting your sleep, the Yogasleep Dohm UNO White Noise Machine will block it. Very simple but effective. I have one for myself and one for my son.
for the bakery
Bake from Scratch Magazine
An artisan food magazine that celebrates baking and will inspire you to be a baker in your life. Yes, this is an old-fashioned magazine that comes in the mail.
For those who are always cold
rechargeable warmer
Stocking stuffer alert! This cute little hand warmer heats up quickly, has a built-in flashlight, and is warm on both sides. One charge lasts about 2-3 hours. Put it in your coat or pants pocket to stay a little more comfortable in the cold.
for someone special
jenny’s ice cream sampler
I have sent this gourmet ice cream as a gift several times and it was loved (literally!). You can order theme packs or choose five of your favorite flavors.
For hosts
colorful candles
Hand poured by Indonesian artisans, these fair trade candles come in stripes or solids and come in packs of six.
to anyone
Color Guru color analysis
Knowing your color makes dressing (and shopping) easier. In addition to physical cards, you can also get digital cards that you can save on your phone. Use code REALMOM for 10% off.
for myself
knock box
Organize everything from passwords and bank accounts to contact information for close family friends. Morbid? perhaps. But it’s insanely helpful. We highly recommend purchasing the fireproof version.
