Holidays are coming up and I put together a few gift guides to give you some holiday gift ideas for him, her, and stocking stuffers. I also did a big list last year that I will link here. Some of the gifts are the same because I either got it and LOVED it or I still think you need it!
You obviously don’t have to choose these that I am specifically linking to or talking about but just some ideas you can find basically at Target, Amazon, or small shops.
Gifts for Him Under $50
I really wanted to focus on some good gifts for the men in your life this year. So I thought of practical but fun gifts.
Toiletry Bag – if your man is anything like mine, he won’t buy something like this because he can use a ‘Ziploc bag”….
Tag Tracker – I liked the Apple AirTag because if you have Apple products, you can use this with Find My iPhone. They also have a Tile option that is more generic and usually cheaper.
Shower Drink Holder – I think this is just fun. If your man likes a shower beer, this is perfect. Or if you are like us, we are energy drink people.
Nose and Ear Trimmer – A MUST for everyone and especially men.
Slim Portable Charger – This charger is so sleek and slim and you just plug it directly into the wall. No port or extra cord is needed. I got my husband one of those cheaper ones and he doesn’t use it because he has to have all that extra stuff just to charge the bank to charge his phone.
Compact Lantern – This is more of a practical gift that you need but don’t want to buy yourself. I didn’t realize we didn’t have any flashlights or strong light until our power went out and it was too late.
Electric Tooth Brush – Another gift people need but don’t want to buy. It’s practical and everyone brushes their teeth so it isn’t wasteful.
Putting Green – If the dude in your life likes golf but can’t get to the course a lot or needs practice on their putting, this is great.
Gas Neutralizers – Does your guy fart…a lot? This is a gift for you and for him. It help neutralize the smell so they don’t have to be uncomfortable all day, but if it’s a loud one, this won’t help them there.
Multi-Tool Pen – This pen can go from the office to the workshop, to the campsite. This pen has 9 different tools in one small pen. Great gift for men on the go and always working on something.
Gifts for Him Under $100
For more of a splurge, I have a few things that are under $100 but things they will love!
Portable generator – this one is a flashlight and has different ports to charge things either on the go or if you lose power. It’s under 2 lbs and can fit into a purse it’s so compact.
Car Dash Cam – You never know what will happen out there and having a camera like this on your dash might be what you are looking for. This has a long memory life and if you don’t need the footage once it reaches the end, it will just re-record. You can see the activity on your phone too.
Wallet – I got my husband this Andar wallet for Father’s Day this year and he loves it! He is pretty picky when it comes to wallets and this checks off all his boxes. It’s a bi fold, has a money clip, pull tab for easy access to cards, and it’s slim. This specific one is a little pricy but the quality is amazing!
Bluetooth Meat Thermometer – Get 4 readings at once all connected to your phone so you don’t have to be hovering over the grill. Unless that’s your excuse not to socialize. Great gift idea for the griller in your life.
Gifts for Her Under $50
Women are just easier to shop for in general. But I still have a list here of items that I personally love, that I’ve given as gifts, and have received validation that others love them too.
Barefoot Dream Dupe Robe – I got this robe for pregnancy/postpartum and I definitely have worn it during work zoom meetings because it’s that good. It’s not a towel material, but also not so fuzzy like a blanket, it’s right in the middle. I almost might get a second one….
Shiatsu Neck Massager – This. Is. Amazing! If you love deep massages, you need this. You put your arms through the holes and you can adjust the position and add as much pressure as you want. I use it on my neck, back, calves, and feet. Highly, HIGHLY recommend for the stressful person in your life.
Necessaire Body Lotion – I did an entire blog post dedicated to this brand because it really is worth it. For a more luxurious moisturizing experience, give the gift of skincare for your body. This lotion is amazing for people with sensitive skin (get the unscented version) and is very moisturizing.
Microwavable Slippers – The idea sounds kinda gross, but if your mom’s feet are constantly cold, she will appreciate this. Or for the skier after a long day on the slopes, great idea.
Digital Photo Frame – We always want to have pictures around but who really remembers to update them and print them out? This is great for grandparents or anyone who wants to have new memories. Just send the pictures to an email address and they are there!
Portable Vanity Mirror – Bathroom lighting in hotels sucks and sometimes we need a full glam moment. A slim light-up mirror that’s easy to pack is a great gift for any girl or your beauty lover friends.
Toiletry Bag – I have this version of this toiletry bag and I really like it because it has a big pit and side and top organization to keep things in place. It also has a hook so you can hang it up if you want. I usually just put it on the counter, to be honest, or just zip it up when I’m done and throw it in my bag.
Cute Crockpot – Crockpot meals are great for everyone and especially this time of year. I have this crockpot and it is so cute and chic. This one is from the Johanna Gaines line at Target but there are cute ones other places instead of just stainless steel.
Stocking Stuffers
When filling a stocking, do you consider it a ‘stocking stuffer’ if it’s cheap or small? I don’t know anymore, I personally mix it up but what do you all do?
I have some things that I think are a great size, price, and practicality for a stocking.
Sriracha Keychain – For the person who loves spice! I also saw they have a Tabasco on a keychain if that is more your person’s vibe. It’s a cute and fun gift if they are on the go a lot.
Car Cleaning Gel – This is so cool for someone who loves a clean car or who is a clean freak. It gets all the lint and dust out of tiny crevasses in your car or other small, hard-to-reach areas.
Makeup Remover Cloths – I love these things because they are less harsh and wasteful than make-up remover wipes. However, you only want to use one side once and this pack of 4 lets you get 8 uses before you have to wash them. They have the ‘Make-Up Eraser’ brand but it’s expensive and these get the job done!
Pop Fidget Toy – I caved and got one of these and let me tell you, it’s nice. If you have anxious hands or hands that can’t stay still this is a great ‘toy’. This is nice to help you focus on the task at hand but also have something in your hands.
Satin Pillowcases – If the person you are giving a gift to doesn’t have a silk or satin pillowcase by now, do them a favor and GIFT THEM ONE! Everyone should have one because of all the benefits. This pack of two is so affordable that they should have no excuse NOT to have one.
Slim Portable Charger – I included this there as well as for the men’s gift guide because really anyone can use a portable charger.
Rechargeable Lighter – This is not only great for candle lovers but also campers and BBQers. Its long nose is great for avoiding burning yourself or others too.
Water Purification Kit – This is for the camper or adventurer in your life. It comes with a straw to always have drinkable water in the wild.
Bag Magnetic – Great for anyone who carries a purse or a wallet/keys. This will hold a purse to a bathroom stall if the hook is broken and so they don’t have to put it on the ground…EW! Or even on metal chairs. This particular one only holds up to 8 lbs.
Have you started your holiday shopping yet? If so, what should I add to these holiday gift ideas?
