I\u2019m always looking for new and different ideas, especially for the women in my life. So if you want a little inspiration for the holidays 2020, here are some of my favorite things! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>*Note: This post is not sponsored in any way. Everything you see here is something I either bought myself or was gifted by my mom\/best friend. Some of the links are affiliate links.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> $99 <br>Every morning and evening when I slip my feet into these comfy, supportive, shearling-lined moccasins, I sigh with relief and thank my mother (silently) for gifting them to me three Christmases ago. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/34AoZ5H\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Silk pillowcase<\/a> $45 <br>Sleeping on a silk pillowcase is said to be better for your hair <em>and<\/em> your skin (I know people who travel with theirs). But it\u2019s one of those things I always hesitate to buy for myself\u2014which is one of the criteria I use to determine if it\u2019s a good gift for someone I love. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> $7.99<br>Last year my mom gave me a Turbie Twist, just\u2026out of the blue. I didn\u2019t expect much, in fact, I laughed when I saw it\u2014but it has quickly become an everyday essential. It dries my hair in no time and dries itself even faster (no damp towels here). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jigsaw Puzzles<br><\/strong>We need all the indoor activities we can get, which is why puzzles are such a hit in 2020. These three are pleasantly challenging and absolutely beautiful. <br> $36 <br> $20 <br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.graymalin.com\/products\/the-beach-two-sided-puzzle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gray Malin Two Sided Beach Puzzle<\/a> $25 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> $40 <br>I&#8217;m not overstating things to say that this is a <em>holy grail product<\/em> for every person who wants full hair with unbelievable body and volume. It\u2019s just a bonus that it happens to smell amazing, too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/oliveandjune.com\/products\/the-mani-system\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Olive and June The Mani System<\/a> $50<br>All the tools you need for perfect nails at home, plus a polish of your choice and their super glossy top coat. Olive and June&#8217;s long-lasting polish is also 7 free: formulated without Dibutyl phthalate (DBP), Toluene, Formaldehyde, Formaldehyde resin, Camphor, Ethyl tosylamide, Xylene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> $166 <br>Years ago I went to the dermatologist for a skin check (always watching out for skin cancer) and after I got the all-clear I asked her, \u201cWhat is the one product you\u2019d recommend for anti-aging?\u201d Without hesitation, she said, \u201cSkinceuticals CE Ferulic.\u201d I thanked her, wrote down the name, went home, and looked it up online. Turns out there are countless other dermatologists, estheticians, and skincare-obsessed folks who swear by it, too. It\u2019s pricey but with that kind of cult following, it might be worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3owiDft\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer And Volumizer Hot Air Brush<\/a> $42 <br>Every person that blow dries their hair with some regularity has cursed the process a time or two and wished\u2014<em>prayed<\/em>\u2014for an easier way. Well this might be the way. When I saw there were just shy of 99,000 (99,000 I said!) reviews and 4.5 stars on Amazon, I added two to my cart immediately (one for my mom, one for me). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/37L1Orb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Untamed<\/a> $17 <br>I adore Glennon Doyle and was blown away by her <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/37L1Orb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">newest memoir, Untamed<\/a>. It was funny, raw, utterly compelling, and full of moments of self reflection for me. I\u2019d recommend it to anyone, but especially the women in your life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.johannahoward.com\/collections\/candles\/products\/100-that-girl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Johanna Howard &#8216;100% That Girl&#8217; candle<\/a> $24<br> \u201cYou took a DNA test and it said you were strong, smart, caring and fearless.\u201d This hand-poured candle is scented with lavender, sage, and rosemary, and according to the website, it\u2019s made from a proprietary blend of coconut and soy wax, with a cotton core wick and phthalate-free fragrance oils to create an environmentally friendly, long-burning, wonderful smelling candle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/shopcavo.com\/products\/after-a-good-cry-candle?pr_prod_strat=copurchase&amp;pr_rec_pid=5582808088740&amp;pr_ref_pid=5561936085156&amp;pr_seq=uniform\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cavo &#8216;After A Good Cry&#8217; candle<\/a> $24<br>This 100% organic soy wax candle from Cavo is said to smell like a hug (Rainwater + Lavender + Vanilla Bean + Bourbon) and comes with its very own playlist.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goldbelly.com\/magnolia-bakery\/world-famous-banana-pudding-party-sized?ref=category\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Magnolia Bakery Banana Pudding<\/a> $56<br>When I was pregnant last summer, I casually mentioned to my best friend how good a big ol\u2019 bowl of banana pudding from Magnolia Bakery in NYC sounded. Days later, I had a party-sized tub of it on my doorstep and I was in heaven&#8230;and then in a food coma. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goldbelly.com\/magnolia-bakery\/world-famous-banana-pudding-party-sized?ref=category\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Here\u2019s where you can order it as a gift<\/a>, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cookbooks<\/strong> ~$20 <br>It\u2019s safe to say we\u2019re all cooking more this year, so now is the time to invest in cookbooks\u2014for ourselves and the ones we love. Here are my recent favorites:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3kzR8iM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Two Peas &amp; Their Pod Cookbook: Favorite Everyday Recipes from Our Family Kitchen<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/31NMgPP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Skinnytaste Meal Prep: Healthy Make-Ahead Meals and Freezer Recipes to Simplify Your Life <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/37Mun7y\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Holy Sweet!: 60 Indulgent Recipes for Bigger, Better Desserts<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2HFvxHb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Pretty Dish: More than 150 Everyday Recipes and 50 Beauty DIYs to Nourish Your Body Inside and Out <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3jys0aW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Well Plated Cookbook: Fast, Healthy Recipes You&#8217;ll Want to Eat <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/37TdbNE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Modern Comfort Food: A Barefoot Contessa Cookbook <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Choosing the perfect gift for someone special can be difficult, to say the least.
