It’s that time of year…when we’re all shopping for that “perfect gift” for that special someone. The perfect gift came wrapped in swaddling clothes, born in a manger. Nothing can be better than that. But tangible gifts are part of the holiday season, whether you are shopping for Christmas, Chanukah, or something else. And let’s not forget all the December and January birthdays on your list! I’ve done some research to give you a wide variety and wide price point of ideas to make your gift-buying a tad easier!

 

1.  Short Plush Hooded Robe

This robe is lightweight, soft, and warm. It’s a joy to put on during those chilly mornings. It comes in 14 colors (of course I got the teal!). This would make a nice gift for yourself or any important woman in your life who gets chilled easily. Buy on Amazon

 

2. Cozy Soft Plush Blanket

It’s no secret I love soft items, and I tend to get chilled easily. This blanket, which I have in the smaller Throw size, makes for a cozy evening watching a movie, reading a good book, or writing a blog post. It comes in 22 beautiful colors, but the beige compliments most décor. Buy on Amazon

 

3. Set of 2 Ceramic Book Vases

5. Hummingbird Feeder

This is my favorite hummingbird feeder because the bowl feature doesn’t occlude your ability to see hummingbirds eating at any of the feeding ports. I put mine out in the spring, and once the hummingbirds find it, they return daily throughout the summer! Buy on Amazon

 

6. Shepherd Hook

Whether you’re wanting to hang hanging plants for a bird feeder, this two pack of shepherd’s hooks is all you need to turn your outside into an inviting piece of nature. I love mine! Buy on Amazon

These frames are double sided with a magnetic closure and look beautiful regardless of your decorating style. Comes in multiple sizes. Makes a lovely gift! Buy on Amazon

 

8. Flannel Fleece Microfiber Blanket

When we moved, we needed new blankets for our beds. I’m pretty picky about my bedding. These blankets are lightweight but so soft and seems to adjust to the season.

11. Exhibit Wall Set of 5 Hanging Picture Frames

I absolutely love this hanging set of 5 picture frames. We have ours on the stairway wall leading upstairs. You can orient the hanging bar straight or at an angle, and you choose where to hang each of the five frames and whether you want them to hang vertically or horizontally. Great for hanging my favorite family wedding photos from this summer! Buy on Amazon

 

12. Electric Bug Zapper

Do pesky flies or mosquitos keep you or a loved one from enjoying time outdoors? I’m a mosquito magnet, and as much as I love being outside, I don’t care to be the mosquito buffet. So we put up this zapper and it helps us enjoy our patio time each day. Buy on Amazon
