simple + thoughtful gift ideas
‘Tis the season for gift-giving! Here are some simple gift ideas for your loved ones, friends, and coworkers. These items can be perfect on their own or bundled with another gift. Enjoy!
Candles
Candles are a classic! Especially in the winter season, you can be assured that the beautiful candle you give will be used.
Natural soy wax is important, and I love these handmade ones from Bilden Farmacy.
Looking for a new project? Try making a batch of homemade candles! This is something I have been excited to try soon!
Books
I love giving books to loved ones that have had an impact on me. Here are some of my favorites:
The Four Agreements, Atomic Habits, and The Untethered Soul
Also excited to read and gift this new book of poems by Emory Hall, Made of Rivers
Journals
Journals are special and can hold space for so much magic! I enjoy Moleskine
Personalized journals and notepads are fun to gift as well.
Don’t forget the pens! Adding a fancy pen or pens to go with the journal is extra sweet :)
Spiritual Tools
Crystals! These are some of my favorite things to give to loved ones because I enjoy spending time learning about new crystals and choosing one that I feel resonates with the person.
Sage is also always a wonderful gift and sometimes you can find them bundled with sweet lavender leaves
Essential Oils can be found almost everywhere these days. Right now I love Uma
Food / Baked Goods
Need I say more? A homemade cookie can go such a long way! I enjoy making these pretzel M&M treats because they are easy and festive.
Homemade granola is always a win as well. Check out my favorite recipe here.
Honey! Talk about a sweet gift :) Local honey is a lovely gift especially paired with some nice tea.
Plants
I love potting my own plants in cute containers! You can find plants anywhere but I love Monstera and Peace Lily’s!
Don’t forget your plant food! Flourish is a great gift on its own or paired with a new plant friend.
Photos and prints of plants and herbs can create a sense of peace and grounding in any space! Love this kitchen medicine poster.
Happy giving!
With love,
Caroline
