10 Holiday Gifts for the Women On (and Off) My List
Every year I tell myself I’m going to start my holiday shopping early. And every year I don’t do that. But what I often do is add 80 things to my Anthropologie cart, laugh at the total, and then close the browser tab. I figured that perhaps I should put this hobby to good use by formulating a list of holiday gifts for everyone on my list — and also for myself. I make an effort to shop small and local as much as I can, so this list is made up of only small, woman, LGBTQ+, and/or minority-owned businesses.
This list is not sponsored, it’s just free advertising because I’m so generous. I do not make a commission on any items purchased via these links.
Casita Candles Big Hoop Energy Glam Tin, $15.00
This one is actually going to several people on my list. Hand poured, Latina-owned, and the best smelling candle in my collection. Use code AMANDA10 for 10% off your order.
Oatly and Elle Terra Polymer Clay Earrings, $17.00
Small batch earrings handmade just outside Orlando, FL, these are so cute — and affordable! — I just had to snag a pair for a friend. And then another pair for me.
Wool & Indigo Cuban Tobacco Candle, $28.00
I first discovered Wool & Indigo candles at The Heavy in Winter Park, FL and fell in love. This scent is so warm and made my tiny studio apartment feel like a cozy cocoon.
The Dan Pecci Company Personalized Holy Night Notebook, from $20.00
One can never have too many notebooks, right? This one is absolutely gorgeous and is nearly fully customizable!
Sparkletown Studios Happy Hot Dog Patch, $6.00
A great stocking stuffer or addition to a care package, this hot dog patch is just too cute for words I can’t stand it!
Forty Winks Ease Cardirobe, $158.00
This is the most expensive item on the list, but I truly believe it’s worth it. My favorite local lingerie boutique recently released private label loungewear so soft and comfortable you’ll want to wear it everywhere. (You may peep me on the website but this is not sponcon!)
Clever Girls Craft Custom Spotify Code Keychain, $5.00
Perfect for that song from middle school that you and your bestie still sing in the car. (If it’s not “Gotta Tell You” by Samantha Mumba what are you doing?)
Designed in Neverland Mouse Lover Bracelet, $18.00
A super cute and understated way to show your love of Disney parks. This shop also offers custom name bracelets!
For Ina Sunshine earrings, from $10.00
Simple and stylish, For Ina earrings make a statement without being in your face.
My Dearly Loved Little Red Wagon Corn Dog Scented Candle, $12.00
Yes, another candle! I actually was shopping for other Disneyland scents for a friend but, I mean… how could I not?
