2023 Holiday Gift Guides

POSTING EARLY! I had written and planned this post for the 22nd because I post every other Wednesday, BUT today starts Amazon’s Black Friday sales and I want to make sure that you don’t miss anything! So here it is!

I had a lot of fun making the little birthday gift guides that I made for the kids first birthdays, so I thought I would try my hand this year at holiday gift guides! I will do my best to include who you will most likely be shopping for! These are kinda time consuming, so I’m not going to go too wild this year while I’m just getting the hang of it! There are so many guides out there, but here are some of my favorite things!

A few reminders: these are my opinions, BUT, your S.O. may not want the normal gender stereotype things and that’s okay. LISTEN to what they want. That said, buying them something for the house and saying it’s for them, is not a gift (unless they’ve asked for it). Be thoughtful. Gifts aren’t always about cost, but about thought. I’ve included less expensive options on the master list to some of the pricier gift guide ideas in case the bigger things are out of your price range this Christmas!

** I make a SMALL commission on these links, my family and I appreciate all of your support this holiday season **

Happy Shopping!


** One final Note: the title of each guide contains the full guide with all of the items on the list (and I will be adding through the holiday season, so SAVE the links), but I have also linked what is pictured in case you just want to shop the pictures! **

Kids ages 0-10: This is probably the biggest gift guide on my page. It is also the easiest for me to create because I have kids in this range. I know that it’s a wide range and that not a lot is pictured, but I promise the main link has a LOT more.

Cube Sorter || My First Barbie || Ride on Bluey Toy || Bop It || GoBe Snack Spinner || Friendship Bracelet Maker || Microscope Kit || Indoor/Outdoor Bounce House


Pre-Teen/ Teenager: I haven’t been a teen in a while, but honestly, I wanted gift cards and money to pick my own things, but if you really want a physical present, here are some great options too!

Beauty Bag || Amazon Gift Card || Mascara Kit || Polaroid Camera || Selfie Stick || Indoor Hoop || Snack Box || Air Pods


Adult Woman: I have a few of the things on this list and I LOVE them. I cannot recommend the pillow or the tumbler enough. I have a friend who swears by the crock pot and my mom loved the massager that my dad gave her last year! Be sure to check out the full list at the link.

Portable Crockpot || Massager || SM Tumbler || Shacket || Coop Pillow || Paperwhite Kindle || Sliders


Adult Man: Men can be so hard to shop for, but I think my list is pretty good this year. Some of these are tried and true products that my husband and dad love, some are just highly rated.

Personal Crockpot || DNA Test Kit || Carharrt Hat || Drill Kit || Stanley Cup || Magnet Helper || Hey Dudes || Carharrt Lunchbox


Stocking Stuffers (for everyone): Stockings are so fun to fill and with the price of candy this year, I am filling with other items too, like toys and chapstick and lotion to help fill them. In case you need some ideas, here are some cute things that I found online.

Bandaids || Holiday Nerf Guns || Teethers || Lipbalm || Flashlights || Lotion || Flashlight Tool Set || Acne Patches || Mini Lego Set


Thank you for letting me help you shop this holiday season. It is so fun to pull these together. I wish that they were easier for me to create because I would for sure make more of them (in case you haven’t realized, I am not the most tech savvy blogger). If you need more shopping ideas, I also have a discount shopping page on Facebook (linked here). Happy Holidays! And please remember that you don’t need to go broke this holiday season to show people that you love them! These are just guides!
