2021 Holiday Gift Guide

Can you even handle these little Santa feet from last year?? I am so excited for Christmas with Daisy this time around. Last year was adorable & cozy, but she had basically no clue what was happening. She is delighting in so many things lately that I can’t wait to see how she takes it all in at Christmastime.

Before I share my gift guide for this year, a disclaimer: This post contains some affiliate links, gifted items, my amazon associate page, and discount codes for you where applicable. If you choose to purchase through affiliate links I will make a small commission at no extra cost to you. Thank you always for your support in all the ways! xo

On this list, you’ll find baby gifts, spiritual gifts, gifts for your home or a hostess, gifts for the men in your life, for your coworkers and friends, family members, and anyone else I could think of. You might even want to put a few on your wish list. There are links to each item as well as a graphic at the end full of most of what I've tagged. Happy gifting!

As always, almost every gift on this list is under $200.
