Happy Holidays lovies!
Can you believe Christmas is this weekend?! Wow. I don’t know about you, but it’s wild to me that there are less than 2 weeks left in this year. Since it feels as if Christmas just appeared, we have put together our last minute Christmas gift guide for all the last minute shoppers out there.
Now, if you are like me (or I should say how I normally am), I am a huge procrastinator when it comes to Christmas shopping. Occasionally around Thanksgiving/Black Friday sales, if there is certain things I know my family/sisters would like I purchase it. I’m also all about getting useful, fun, decorative little things to include with the “bigger” part of their gift.
This is where our Christmas Gift Guide steps in. We put together some of our favorite things to give to family and friends as gifts. And of course, you know we can’t leave out Pegs cookbook Damn Good Gluten Free (the ULTIMATE Christmas gift)!
Since I haven’t done a “What I’m Currently Loving” lately, I am including those things here. I personally love getting all sorts of gifts from food, kitchen items, skin care, crystals, to random knick-knacks. So anything goes.
Per the usual procrastinator, sometimes parts of my gifts don’t arrive in time for Christmas… that’s ALL GOOD. I will print out a photo and wrap it in the box with other things. OR you can make it fun, like an unwrapping adventure, and put the photo in funny shaped boxes inside of other boxes to keep they guessing; SO many fun things you can do with this.
I also LOVE personalizing Christmas gifts. Embroidering something, making treats, or putting an experience together (one you two could do together) are great ideas!
Hope you find this useful for your last minute holiday shopping ◡̈

- Mab & Stoke
- Their variety pack Mab sticks are great stocking stuffers and perfect for those who love new wellness finds.

Home Things
These are great gifts for the chefs, those who just moved or are recently moved and are getting settled in.
- The Adorn Co. for so many things
- This ethically produced home goods and accessories shop is THE cutest. It’s a women owned local shop in Steamboat Springs, CO. They sell intentionally sourced products to support people coming out of desperate situations. They work with artisans who are rebuilding their lives – like their new pottery line that is made by refugees living in Turkey. Shop their store online HERE. I personally love all their pottery and olive wood items.
- Local or artisan soaps
- I love Wonder Valley olive oil soaps (their olive oil is great too), these are special gifts to give. If you have a local farmers market I’m sure there are goat butter soaps or other fun homemade items like this!
- Tea towels
- These are another fun item I am always finding myself grabbing a few extras if I find cute ones to share as gifts. These can be cute location based ones or fun artisan/painted special ones (especially while traveling internationally).
- Wooden Spoons
- I don’t know about you, but I have a funny thing about collecting awesome salad tongs/spoons, coffee mixing spoons, or any handcrafted wooden spoon from wherever I go. You can never have enough spoons hehe!
- Artisan Pottery
- Who doesn’t love a good mug? These are perfect one off’s or fun pie dishes to get for the chefs in your life. We absolutely love Hanselmann Pottery and Whiskey and Clay, both of which are based out of New Mexico. On my summer road-trip last year, I got to visit both their shops and fell in love.
- Crystals and Things
- Our favorite places to get crystals from are Energy Muse and Right Tribe. Energy Muse has the most amazing gems, crystal infused items (like candles) and ritual sets. Right Tribe is an amazing local shop by our dear friends Lauren and Johnny who sell the coolest crystals in all shapes and sizes, leather planters, and amazing thrift-finds.
