Holiday Gift Guide 2020: The Complete List

Happy Holidays! Ahh, the season of giving. It’s a wonderful time, but it can also be a stressful time. Before you get stumped on what to buy and scroll endlessly through various websites searching for the perfect gift, check out my holiday gift guides! I’ve created separate posts for a variety of personality types with easily shoppable links. But just in case you don’t feel like sifting through each individual guide, I’ve put together a complete list containing all the gifts in one! Explore the boutiques below to find something perfect for everyone and anyone on your list. Happy shopping!

FOR DAD:

Dad is probably one of the hardest people to shop for. He usually wants for nothing, won’t make a list, and has a very particular range of interests. However, that didn’t stop me from putting together this list of fool-proof items for dad. You can’t go wrong with a quality flannel or personalized docking station. Hopefully this helps you find something great for your picky papa!

FOR THE EVERYMAN:

The Everyman: “An ordinary and humble character, the everyman is generally a protagonist, whose benign conduct fosters the audience’s wide identification.” I get it, guys can be hard to shop for! But there are a few items that are generally good go-tos, like a high-quality beanie, a wintery craft cocktail kit, or an awesome speaker. I’ve rounded up some great options below for the man in your life, whether he be your brother, best friend, boyfriend, or beyond!

FOR THE TECH GUY:

Gadgets galore! There is some seriously cool tech out there that I guarantee the savvy guy in your life will love. From creative ways to listen to music (a build-it-yourself Bluetooth radio?!) to a heated razor for the most comfortable shave *ever*, I’ve compiled a whole list of exciting devices to explore. And while I’ve labeled this list under the “gifts for guys” category, don’t think twice about grabbing some of these goodies for your favorite tech-loving lady too!

FOR MOM:

After everything she’s done for you and your family, Mom deserves something extra special. These gifts will make her feel pampered and add a hint of luxury to her life without a huge price tag. A cozy blanket scarf, comfortable knit sneakers, and pretty wine glasses for her table are sure to bring a smile to mom’s face. Alternatively, you could also offer to do the dishes after dinner or take out the trash – that’s the type of gift that’s priceless for mom!

FOR THE GIRLY GIRL:

Okay, so you could basically rename this “Sammy’s Wishlist,” but that’s besides the point… For the girl in your life who loves a bit of color and sparkle, look no further than this list. Whether you go with glam earrings from a Black-owned business or stylish winter boots from a classic brand, you really can’t go wrong with any of these items for your girly girl!

FOR THE AMATEUR CHEF:

We’re all spending more time than ever in the kitchen, so this list is for the person who has found cooking + baking to be their new calling. Help them spice up their space with a beautiful spoon rest and pot holder. Or make sure they’re stocked up on essentials like the perfect jumbo cooker and pasta bowls. A gift for the amateur chef is a gift for you because you’ll likely get to try their latest creations – it’s a win, win!

FOR THE HOMEBODY:

We all know someone who has been *living* for this time at home… because it’s already their happy place! These gifts will enhance their at-home experience by making things extra comfy. I mean, the Aerie sweatshirt and joggers on this list are literally called the “Cozy Good Vibes” set – what more could you need? Throw in a cute blanket, space heater, and wintery candle and they’ll be good to go!

FOR THE BEAUTY LOVER:

FOR THE EARTH LOVER:

Being eco-conscious is more important than ever these days. Let your gifts reflect that by picking up one (or more) of these reusable, sustainable items for the Earth lover in your life. Honestly, you’ll probably want to order an extra for yourself along the way! I already own the straws, water bottle, Stasher bags, grocery bags, and cleaning kit and can 100% vouch for their quality and practicality. This is shopping you can feel good about!

FOR THE POP CULTURE BUFF:

With all of the streaming services and social media platforms available these days, it’s easier than ever to take a deep dive into that latest in pop culture. Baby Yoda is *everywhere* right now and I’d be shocked if you weren’t considering a gift with his precious face on it (like this ornament) for someone on your list. Movies, music, TV, current events… there’s so much to gain inspiration from. I hope this list leads to the perfect gift for someone in your life!

FOR THE FITNESS GURU:

This year has challenged us to find new ways of staying active while at home. Not everyone has the space for a full at-home gym, but a few key pieces can really up your workout game. Beyond weights and equipment, don’t forget about the little things that make for a wholistic routine: good sneakers, yummy post-workout snacks, a clean deodorant, and more. See below for gifts for the fitness guru in your life!

FOR THE COWORKER:

Though you’re no longer in the office together, it’s still a nice gesture to gift the person you see on Zoom calls five days a week something that will brighten their holiday! I’m always running out of paper, so a chic notebook is a must. A stylish vessel for their morning coffee (and evening cocktail) are also a genius move. Keep scrolling for a short list of affordable items that are perfect for coworkers!
