YAY! I love (like LOVE) gifts and finding the best gifts and giving the best gifts. It is my actual favorite. And since I know not everyone shares my present-finding passion, I put my best sleuthing skills to work to put together kojo Christmas gift guides this year!
The best part is that you can do ALL of this Christmas shopping from your couch in your jammies! Such a win!
Here are the things you need for all of the people.
GIFTS FOR YOUR BEST FRIEND OR SISTER
1- Boatneck Tunic (this is my favorite tunic- I have it in three colors! It’s perfect with leggings or jeans and less than $20!)
2- Llama tea infuser (I got this for my mama a couple Christmases ago! I also love the sloth or the manatee– ha!)
3- Brush and chisel double-tip markers (take it from a marker junkie- these ones are THE BEST! I am stingy about sharing mine, so Piper has asked for her own set for Christmas- haha!)
4- Corksicle Triple Insulated Mug
5- Papercut Paris Map (these are SO GREAT! And there are choices of cities around the entire world, including tons of cities within the USA!)
6- Swedish Dishcloths (LOVE these! And there are all sorts of cute prints! I’m partial to the flamingos or swans)
8- Capri Volcano Candle (this Anthro-y candle is my favorite! And it comes in a bunch of colors to match any decor
9- Wireless printer (back to the days of real, actual pictures that are printed out!)
10- Sam Edelman Circus Flats (I got these for my best friend for her birthday- don’t they kind of look like the Tory Burch sandals? But for $25 instead of $200)
12- Buxom Lip Gloss Set (best lipgloss ever! And the set is such a STEAL!)
13- Barefoot Dreams Socks (these tie for my favorite cozy socks [I also love these ones]- literally good for every girl on your list!)
14- Nugget Ice Maker (Sonic ice. At Home. That is all.)
GIFTS FOR TRAVELERS
1- Epic Drives of the World (we LOVE this series of books- epic drives, epic hikes, etc! Our other favorite travel books are the Ultimate Travel List and Ultimate Eats)
2- Stojo On The Go Cup (this one collapses to take up approximately zero purse space! Genius right?)

4- Bose Wireless Headphones (Adam got these for Christmas a few years ago and then got me a pair for my birthday. For long haul flights, these are a game changer!)

6- Gorillapod Camera Tripod (perfect for travel, perfect for families, perfect for anyone who loves taking pictures!)
7- Anywhere Travel Guide (as noted in the name- you can use this anywhere! Perfect for the current extra-stay-cation-y lives we are all living)
8- Luggage tags (darling. And also $3! Everyone on your list needs some!)
9- Barefoot Dreams Socks (SO GOOD!)
10- City Map Coasters (a sweet reminder of their fave spot! I especially like that you can create your own mix and match set if they have lots of favorite places.)

7- The Triangle Book Trilogy (we checked the triangle one out at the library and Bohden promptly put all three on his wishlist)
8- 3 stage scooter (I love this because it grows with your kiddos! And also takes up so much less space than getting a scooter for each stage!)
10- Photo string lights (Pi got these for her birthday and loves them!)

GIFTS FOR TWEENS & TEENS
