Gift guides are live! I’m one of those people who truly love to give gifts. I love to watch people open it and see the look on their face. On the other hand, I have a hard time receiving gifts. It’s the control freak in me, I’m not good with the unexpected. My gift guides reflect the stage in life I’m currently in, which means they are heavy on the kids’ gifts. Having two little kids means I need to get creative with gifts. I want the gifts to be thoughtful, have a purpose and not just clutter up the house, all while bringing my kids joy. Simple, right? Find my kids gift guides here.
I’m also sharing my favorite things gift guide! Think of it like Oprah’s Favorite Things, but Amy’s Favorite Things. Throughout the year I rave about products and now you can find them all in one place. Everything in this gift guide I personally own and LOVE, and would give as a gift to anyone I know. The best gifts are the ones you love to use or own personally. Below is a collage and after are write-ups in detail on each item. And don’t forget to follow me on the Like To Know It app to see more of my favorites throughout the year.
Be sure to also catch my other gift guides this year such as the Toddler Girl Gift Guide.
DIME Whipped Exfoliating Mask is a great gift for the skincare fanatic in your life. It’s an approachable easy to use mask that takes 5 minutes and provides excellent results. My skin is always fresh and smooth after using it. Use code AMYK20 for 20% off your purchase. And pick up their Eye Lash Serum too, it works wonders!
The M.M.LaFleur Cashmere Sweater is the ultimate luxury gift for someone or yourself. It’s ultra soft, luxe and perfect for winter. This has a slightly oversized fit, but still order your normal size. Use code LATEREVERAFTER20 for 20% off your first purchase.
I’m a huge luxury pj gal and LAKE Pajamas fit the bill. Made of super soft 100% Peruvian Pima cotton these pjs will keep you cool to the touch all night and cozy. I love the Christmas prints and the matching family options. All the girls have a pair and we love them.
Another luxury item that every girl needs in their life. The Sarah Flint Perfect Pump is my go to luxury footwear. The shoes are made in Italy and are truly a masterpiece. I actually own 3 pairs because they are that good. The comfort level surpasses any shoe I’ve ever worn. Use code SARAHFLINT-BAAMYKR for $50 off your first pair.
Earlier this year I was influenced to try Maneater Mascara by Tarte and wow, was I impressed. Its the only mascara I use now. The results are amazing and provide volume and length. It’s a bit more expensive than a drugstore brand, but totally worth it. Coming in a close second is their Lights Camera Lashes mascara, it provides crazy length! Right now all Tarte prodcuts are 30% off with code CYBERSZN.
Luxury hand cream is a great gift, especially in the winter. I worked with L’Occitane last year and they gave me a sample of this hand cream. I’ve been hooked ever since. I have a tube in my purse, my desk and next to my bed. I’m constantly using it! It has a subtle scent that isn’t to perfume-like and leaves my hands feeling like silk. And at only $12 its the perfect gift for a co-worker, teacher or a stocking stuffer.
Who doesn’t love a good Hermes inspired scarf? This Amazon find is only $24 and is super chic. The colors and equestrian print give off major Hermes vibes. It’s a medium weight scarf that is great for layers as a shawl or as an oversized scarf.
One of the best gifts to give or receive are luxury slippers. I’m a huge slipper person and these Bagheera Tufted Slippers are the ultimate luxury. They have a hard bottom, which is ideal for walking (and not falling) on hardwood floors. The print is chic and they are comfy! I would size up a full size in these those. I typically wear an 8 and wish I had a 9.
When in doubt buy a turtleneck! No seriously everyone looks great in a turtleneck especially this one from MM. It’s ribbed, thin and retains its shape all day. I get so much use out of mine and wear it in the office and on the weekends. I actually have multiple, go figure. It runs snug so if you have a larger bust size up, I’m in a large. And you can get 20% off with code LATEREVERAFTER20.
The MVP of afternoon wfh treats is this Keurig. In fact I wrote a whole post about the drinks I make with it, you can read it here. This will replace your afternoon Starbucks run and save you a ton of money in the long run. We bought it for ourselves a few years back and we use it about 4 times a day!
My Monica Vinader Mini Nugget Pearl Necklace is a classic piece that I wear at least once a week. It’s simple and classic to wear alone or can be layered with more trendy pieces. And you know I love a matching set, I have the bracelet too! Use Code US20RAFINSIDER-BCC8 to get 20% off your Monica Vinader Purchase.
Gigi New York Belt Bag
No holiday is complete without a Santa mug! This one is only $5 and perfect for teacher gifts. If it appears out of stock online sign up for a notification and they will email you when it’s back in stock.
Cozy blankets are the best in the winter. I recently found Nest Design and have been highly impressed with their kids items. They have pjs, clothes, bedding, bath items and the quality it top notch. I got the girl their medium weight quilted blankets and they are super cozy and warm. Lizzie hasn’t put hers down yet. They have holiday prints and year round prints too.
These earrings are be worn two ways, yes two ways. You can wear them together with the gold and silver combo or you can just wear the gold piece. I love the versatility and ability to wear them casually in the day or for an evening out.
