The holiday season is upon us! With office parties being planned and Halloween merchandise cleared out for sparkling Christmas trees and stockings, it’s time to start thinking about gifts and who's on your holiday gift list. If you’re often a last-minute shopper, this is the year to change that—trust me, you’ll be relieved on Christmas Eve when you’re not panic shopping!

Here’s the ultimate holiday shopping guide, catering to every budget, so you can find the perfect Christmas gifts for everyone on your list.

Give the Gift of Self-Care

The era of self-care is here. If you have someone on your list who would love to pamper themselves at home, this is the section for you.

Neck and Back Massager

The gift of convenience is unmatched. You know those days when you get home and just need someone to rub your back or neck after sitting at your desk all day or sleeping the wrong way? A neck and back massager is the ultimate way to enjoy a back rub anytime, anywhere.

This back and neck massager offers different kinds of massages and intensities, you can even wrap it around your waist to target that lower back. Depending on which one you get, some such as the one I’ve linked features heat technology to soothe those muscles. Prices range from $50 to $100!

Scalp Massager

Have a friend who’s all about hair care? A scalp massager is a great stocking stuffer or great gift for an office party or friend Secret Santa. 

These massagers help stimulate hair growth by activating the scalp's hair follicles. They cost under $20, making them ideal for budget-friendly gifting and great for the person on your wishlist who is all about hair care. If you have more budget, pair this with a hair care kit, salons typically have tons of Christmas sets during the Holidays.

Face Masks

In my opinion, face masks are the ultimate self-care gift. The feeling after applying a sheet mask feels luxurious and refreshing. My favorite is the Taut Collagen Mask, which instantly brightens my skin, leaving me feeling so glowy and refreshed. 

I also mentioned these masks in my must-have travel accessories blog—they’re perfect for combating the dry air on planes and are such an easy addition to any weekly reset routine. 

Prices start at $50 for a pack of 5, but you can also find inexpensive sheet masks at your local drugstore that you can add to a gift or as part of a stocking stuffer!

Shoes 

Welcome to the shoes and accessories section! These gifts will make your loved ones feel and look their best!

Womads Peep Toe Flats

For the women on your list, shoes are always a great option. I love gifting fun-colored or unique shoes, as many people tend to stick with neutrals when buying for themselves, so why not go a little outside the box.

My Womads leather peep toe flats are lightweight, flexible, and handmade with Colombian leather. They are a luxurious and affordable gift and the best part is I have designed a wide range of colors, so you can pick a bright pair, metallic, or neutral! The peep toe flats are $115 USD. 

If you’re in a cooler climate or prefer a closed-toe option, let’s move on to my brand-new Oxfords.

Womads Leather Oxfords

Made from soft, full grain leather, my brand new Womads Oxfords is a timeless gift that will last for years! 

They’re perfect for anyone who appreciates a classic style, works in an office, or loves chic, comfortable footwear.

The subtle details are designed to flatter the foot's shape while adding a feminine touch. Do you see the beautiful ankle curve on the side, everything about it was intentional to complement the natural shape of a woman's foot. The three laces help create a custom fit without overshadowing the shoe’s look. The brand new Oxfords are $195 USD. 

If you choose a pair of leather Womads, consider adding a leather shoe cleaner to complete the gift.

Womads Leather Shoe Care Kit

The Womads leather care kit comes with a 1.5 oz travel-size cream, packaged in a cute cotton bag—perfect for those who dread gift wrapping! 

The kit includes a soft cloth for easy application and to maintain the shoes' leather and shine. The shoe cream helps clean the surface of the leather and keep your shoes looking brand new!

Croc Slides 

Slippers are like pillows for our feet and such a great holiday gift for a parent, grandparent or mother in law. 

The Dolly in Pink slippers from Pretty You are one of my favorites, they make me feel like a princess with the little pom poms and the light colors. I love giving fun and unique gifts and these slippers are not only different they are so comfortable.

Prices start at $57 USD

Gift of Being the Main Character: Accessories 

Let’s dive into accessories! I’m an accessories girl—I love jewelry, handbags, keychains, headphones—you name it. When I’m traveling with my headphones on and an e-reader in hand, blanket scarf on, I definitely feel like the main character. These gifts will help your loved ones feel the same!

Oura Ring

Starting with the priciest item on my list, the Oura ring is perfect for those who love accessories and fitness data. For the active folks in your life, the Oura Ring gives their body a voice, using data to help them know when to rest and how their bodies are truly feeling.

The Oura Ring doubles as jewelry, available in silver, gold, and rose gold to match any look. Prices start at $400 USD.

Apple Watch / Fitbit 

Sticking with the wellness trend, the Apple Watch is an excellent gift and alternative for the Oura ring and is still great for the fitness enthusiasts on your list! 

They serve as accessories while providing health data and acting as phones. These are also great for the runners on your gift list, it can help them track their time and pace.  Prices for these watches start at $300 USD.

Headphones

Is there someone on your list that is always traveling or commuting? I love my Apple AirPods Max; they’re truly noise-canceling and perfect for getting lost in music while on the go. If you have a runner on your list, or someone who is always on the go, they will definitely love and get lots of use out of high quality headphones. 

Headphones definitely range in price, the Airpod Max starts at about $700 but there are more budget friendly options on Bose.com and Amazon!

Crossbody Bag

The new Womads leather crossbody bag is an ideal holiday gift for all kinds of people. 

Perfect for travelers, festival-goers, or anyone who enjoys walking, this bag offers hands-free convenience while still being able to carry essentials. Made from full grain Colombian leather, it comes in a variety of colors and straps to mix and match so you can customize the gift! The new bags that will last you a long time start at $210 USD.

E-reader

An e-reader or Kindle is another way to gift convenience and a whole library. 

Have someone on your Christmas list who loves reading, well an e-reader is like gifting the library or an indigo! A kindle is also great for people who are on the go and travel often. When I'm traveling my kindle is one of my must haves to help pass the time and keep me entertained. Prices start at $100 and can go up to around $200.

Blanket Scarf

A cozy blanket scarf is perfect for colder climates and makes a great travel accessory.

It can compliment any outfit and can be used as a blanket when needed. I talked about my Eric Bompard cashmere scarf that I received as a gift in France in my travel accessories blog! These scarves run around $700 USD and are super lightweight but also warm. 

You can likely find more affordable ones wherever you like to shop! Pick something soft and warm, and good quality materials like cotton—I'd stay away from Polyester! 

Apparel

Buying clothes as a holiday gift for someone can be tricky due to sizing and fit, but there are ways around it! Oversized fits are super trendy right now, making it easier to gift apparel.

Merch

Oversized hoodies and graphic tees make excellent gifts because the oversized trend look is not only trendy, it is super comfortable.

If you know someone who loves a specific TV show or artist, authentic merch is a thoughtful choice and much easier to purchase for someone. Prices can range from $40 to $200, depending on the artist or show. 

Trench Coat

Trench coats are always in style and rightfully so, the long classic silhouette, can make the most basic outfits look classy and put together.

I love Oak and Fort for affordable and durable apparel. Just be sure to always pick up a gift receipt when buying apparel! Trench coats typically start at $150 and can run upwards of $1000. 

Home Goods

Plate Set

There’s something satisfying about having matching plates, especially for the friend or family member who loves to host. 

For the friend who loves to entertain, a unique or classic plate set from Our Place offers both quality and beautiful colors, ( just look at those pictures!) I take pictures of everything but there is something so special when someone takes a picture of something you did. Plates from Our Place will definitely have people snapping photos. 

Depending on the set, and the quantity these range from $150-$500 USD!

Always Pan

For your culinary friend, the infamous Always Pan from Our Place is the perfect gift. 

The pan gets its name because you can use it for most cooking needs, it's deep enough to roast a chicken and shallow enough to scrambled eggs. They also come in a range of matte colors that look very classy. 

This can be great for anyone with a small kitchen, or for someone who really enjoys cooking. These pans run for about $150 USD. 

Hosting Essentials

In this era of dinner parties, a high-quality cheese board will excite anyone who loves to host. This high quality board from Crate and Barrel is tasteful and built to last. It’s not just a board; it’s a canvas for culinary masterpieces that will be photographed by every guest.

A quality cheeseboard built to impress will cost around $80 to $200. 

Record Player or Records

If you’re looking for a gift for a music lover, a record player can be a fantastic gift. 

It adds vintage charm to any home decor while providing a unique listening experience, especially for grandparents or in-laws. Record players range from $120 to $1200 so you can grab one that fits in your budget. 

Plants

For the plant lover in your life, you can check out a propagation station or a potted plant. Unique plants can brighten any space. If you’re part of an office secret santa, these stations are around $20! If you have more budget, larger plants can run anywhere from $30 to over $100 so you can pick one based on your budget. 

Experiences

Sometimes the hardest people to shop for are those who already have everything. An experience can be a fun and unique gift, whether it’s something they can do alone, with you or with a partner.

Guess Where Trips

Gifting a “Guess Where” trip is great for a friend who loves adventures. 

Choose a city in the US or Canada, and let them enjoy a mystery getaway! What’s great about this experience is you can pick different trips based on their interests. Prices start at about $60!

Yoga or Pilates Class Pass

For active friends who love trying new workouts, a pass to a boutique studio is a gift they will definitely use and love. 

Boutique studios can get pricey, but they offer a space for those in the fitness space to change up their workouts and try something new. Depending on where you live, prices start at about $100.

For Your Special Furry Friends

Don’t forget our furry friends! If you’re in the US BarkBox offers themed boxes full of toys and treats, so your favorite pup can join in on the holiday fun! 

If you’re Canadian, Woof Pack is a great option for your furry friends. What I love about these boxes is you can customize them to your dog's needs. If they are a big chewer you can pick up a durable box over the plush toys. 

Time to Wrap it up

The holidays are a mix of exciting and fun activities and stress from the many things that start to pile up. Planning in advance will leave you more room to enjoy other Christmas festivities with the people closest to you.
