Gifts That Sleigh!

By Kathryn Tanaka

As the holiday season approaches, the scramble to find the perfect gift for your loved ones begins. What will they actually like? Will they really use it? Below is a list of gift ideas to skim before you begin panicking!

1. Candles

While you could get the normal candles from Target, I would opt for higher-quality ones with less of an artificial scent. There are so many scents to choose from; whether you like a floral aroma or a more earthy one, places like Jo Malone or Le Labo are sure to have a scent for your giftee.

2. (Nice) matching pajama sets

There’s nothing like getting into bed with the cutest, coziest pajamas! Whether you gift them a silk set or a cute pattern, whoever receives this gift is sure to appreciate all the nights spent in a comfortable pair of pajamas. 

3. House slippers

This might seem a little weird, but trust me. Last year, my mom got me a pair of Tasman Uggs, and my life was forever changed. While I expected the fluffy inside to become flattened and hard, these have remained so comfy. During the winter months, your giftee will never complain about cold feet! 

4. Jewelry dishes/holder

These dishes are super easy to get at stores. I recommend Anthropologie or Therapy. If you feel like going the extra mile, you could even go to a place like Petroglyph to paint your own dish to give. Either way, this gift is super versatile.

5. Le Creuset pots

These are definitely a high-end gift, but perfect for someone who has just moved into a new house or who loves cooking. They come in so many different colors and sizes, so there’s something for everyone!
