Hello you guys, Welcome back to another episode of the Hawkerel Energy Podcast.
0:18
I'm your host, Kaylie, and this is your weekly reminder that it's a
0:21
new day, a new week, a new mindset, and another day for
0:24
you to become the Hawkrel Energy you want to attract. Hello you guys,
0:29
Happy November and Merry Christmas. Obviously I'm kidding, but I am totally in
0:35
the Christmas spirit now that we have officially entered November. Last episode fell on
0:40
Halloween, and you guys know that I was already talking about Christmas already.
0:45
And one thing that I made a huge priority this week or sorry last week,
0:51
was I really wanted to get my Christmas Gift Guides out to you guys
0:55
earlier than last year. This time last year, I believe I did a
0:59
holiday Gift Guide episode two weeks ahead of this week. Like I think I
1:04
posted the episode on like November twentieth, and today is well, when this
1:10
episode goes up, it's going to be November seventh. So I am trying
1:12
to be a little earlier this year, just because obviously I know you guys
1:17
liked to shop earlier. I know for myself, I like to shop earlier
1:21
for my parents, for my sister, for my friends, all that.
1:23
So there's a lot of sales going on, and also just trying to think
1:26
of ideas is always kind of difficult, so I thought it'd be a good
1:30
opportunity to get ahead of everything and just get the gift guides done. I'm
1:36
really excited to share all the categories that I've put together. You guys are
1:40
kind of getting a sneak peek of some of the things that I put together.
1:42
I am doing a series on my TikTok where I am talking about just
1:48
all the gift guides that I'm showing, but I'm going to give you guys
1:51
more of a sneak peak. The categories that we have for today are for
1:56
the it girl or for her, for the man that has everything, for
2:00
your sister or your bestie, for the parents or the in laws so like
2:05
your mom, your dad, as well as stocking stuffers or gifts under fifty
2:09
dollars, as well as for me, what is my current wish list?
2:14
So those are all the categories that we're gonna go over today. But I
2:16
really hope this episode gets you guys in the Christmas spirit. I know I'm
2:22
already into it. Just from doing this and just from you know, scrolling
2:25
through TikTok and Instagram, I feel like everybody's posting holiday content. There's some
2:30
people that already have their Christmas decorations up, which is super exciting. I
2:32
was supposed to do my Christmas decorations this past weekend, but Zach and I
2:37
ended up going to the States instead because I thought, you know what,
2:39
we need a few more things because last year it was our first Christmas in
2:44
our new house. So I went like crazy at Home Sense and at Bouclair
2:50
and a bunch of other home to court places just to stock up on everything
2:53
we needed for the house. Essentially, right, so I do have majority
2:57
of this stuff for our house decorating, but there was still little things that
3:02
we need to pick up this year. Like we didn't have any rees last
3:06
year. I need to pick up more garland for different areas of our home.
3:09
So just like little things. It's definitely not cheap to buy Christmas decorations.
3:14
So we bought what we could last year, and then this year we're
3:16
going to stock up on a few more things, and then hopefully next year
3:20
again adding little things every year I think is fine, but I really don't
3:23
want to have to spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars for decor that's only going
3:28
up for a short period of time, So I personally want to decorate early.
3:30
Zach and I right now have it scheduled for this Friday. We're gonna
3:35
put the Christmas tree up, and then I'll probably put the Christmas decorations up
3:38
fully around the house when I get back from New York, or if I
3:43
have time on Saturday, I'll try and squeeze it in on Saturday. But
3:46
I am leaving for New York on Monday, so next Monday I'm going to
3:50
try on wedding dresses and I'm so excited. So I don't think there will
3:54
be an episode next week. Unless I can record an episode before I leave,
3:59
I definitely will try my best to do so, but if not,
4:01
there will be an episode the following week, so I'll keep you guys posted.
4:04
I personally just don't like to travel with my mic I've tried doing that
4:09
in the past and my microphone broke. Like when I went to Trends in
4:13
Vancouver, I brought my microphone with me and it broke, So I really
4:16
don't want to bring it to New York and then have the resk of it
4:20
breaking again, so I can only do so much. I always feel so
4:25
bad when I can't post a podcast episode because I know you guys look forward
4:28
to it every week. I look forward to it every week, so it's
4:30
definitely hard to just not post anything. But I'm gonna try my best to
4:33
record something before I leave. I promise. If not, I will just
4:36
keep you guys notified on our Instagram if I can't post anything next Tuesday,
4:41
so just stay tuned for that. But let's get into this episode. I'm
4:45
really excited to share all the gift guides for you guys and just to find
4:49
gift ideas for that special someone or for yourself. I am going to highlight
4:55
that everything will be linked down below. I have created a Google docs with
4:59
links to absolutely everything. That way, when you guys are gift shopping,
5:02
you guys have everything in one spot and you can just reference it for your
5:05
gift guide. So let's get into this episode and let's start showing off these
5:12
gifts, all right, So the first one we're going to talk about is
5:15
for the IT girl or for her. I'm only going to share half of
5:18
the gifts that I highlighted from my TikTok if you guys don't follow me on
5:21
TikTok, I did a whole video on gifts for her. I think there
5:26
was about ten or twelve different gift options. I'm going to pick six out
5:30
of those and also share a few new ones that I found as well,
5:32
just because I'm going to be repeating myself. If you guys have already seen
5:35
the video, you guys already know some of the things that I highlighted,
5:39
but I also added a few new ones that could be a really good gift
5:42
idea for yourself or for the girl that you think would love something like this.
5:47
First one being my absolute favorite, which you guys literally know what I'm
5:50
about to say, which is Summer Fridays. I am absolutely obsessed with their
5:55
lip bombs, and they just came out with a really cute gift set with
5:58
three different liptips. I also love Road lip Bombs. They also came out
6:02
with lip tints and they came up with a gift set that I believe is
6:05
a four pack. Both of them are around the same price point. It
6:09
really just depends on what brand you prefer. They're both really great options.
6:14
I personally think Road is better for the going out girl that likes to go
6:18
out a lot wear a lot of makeup, Whereas Summer Fridays I think is
6:21
more for the girl that likes to have the no makeup, clean look.
6:25
I personally find that's like the best way to describe those two options, Like
6:29
Summer Fridays is the one that I wear every single day, Like I wake
6:31
up, I put that on my lips, whereas Road is the one that
6:34
I wear when I go out for dinner rozak or when I'm dressing up,
6:38
you know what I mean. So it really just depends on your preference.
6:40
Obviously, Road could be used for every day. It's just like not my
6:44
favorite for every day, just because I find it is a bit stickier than
6:47
the Summer Fridays that I don't like a sticky lip bomb. But the Road
6:50
does have a lip plumping effect I find, so it makes your lips look
6:54
a bit bigger. But yeah, that's just my take on the difference between
6:57
those two. Next is the ugg slipper. I love Uggs so much,
7:00
They're so comfortable. I love to wear the slippers in my home. I
7:05
love to wear the ugs just outside. I have the platform ones. I
7:10
have the Task slip ons, and I have an UGG pair of slippers as
7:14
well that I wear around the house all the time. And I always love
7:16
to give this to my mom or my sister, So this is also a
7:19
really great gift idea, or even for the grandma or for your in law,
7:24
anything like that. I think it's such a great versatile gift and they're
7:28
such good quality. I usually get probably three years out of my UG slippers
7:32
just because I wear them every single day. The quality is really good,
7:35
but usually I upgrade my slippers I'd say once every two to three years.
7:40
But highly recommend UGG slipers. Totally worth the investment in my opinion. Another
7:44
great gift idea that I had was a digital camera. I feel like if
7:47
you're the kind of girl that loves to take Instagram photos or just document a
7:51
lot of travels or just your life in general, I feel like digital cameras
7:56
are making a huge comeback on Instagram and just in general for photos, and
8:01
I personally love the way my photos turn out with the digital camera. I
8:03
linked two different types of cameras. I have the Canon GX seven, which
8:07
is literally the one that's most viral on TikTok right now that everybody wants,
8:11
and it just does the best flash photos, especially for like nighttime photos or
8:16
anything like that. Another great camera is just the Canon Power Shot. I
8:20
really like this one just for daily photos, like during the day. I
8:24
brought it to Italy with Zach and I. We used it for a few
8:26
photos and it turned out so well. So it really just depends. If
8:30
you're that kind of person that loves to document and take a lot of photos
8:33
and you don't want to invest in a really expensive camera, then I would
8:35
recommend the Canon Power Shot. If you're the kind of person that wants to
8:37
get into vlogging, the Canon GX seven or G seven x sorry is great
8:43
for vlogging. That's the blog camera that I used to use on YouTube,
8:46
but I'd broke, so I'm trying to get it fixed, just because it's
8:50
really hard to get that camera right now since everybody wants it. But I
8:54
have linked one area. I think it's Amazon that currently is selling it,
9:00
so it is still an option. It is in the price to your side.
9:01
But if you're the kind of person that wants to get into content creation,
9:05
I highly, highly highly recommend that camera. Next is a cardholder.
9:09
I personally have had my cardholder now for three years. I have the YSL
9:13
one. I personally love it so much because it's so small, it's so
9:16
convenient, it's so compact. I hate big wallets that is just kind of
9:22
a pain in the ass to carry around. I like to have a small
9:24
one if it's in all my handbags. It's just, yeah, the perfect
9:28
gift idea. But there's other brands that are more affordable besides YSL like JWPI
9:33
they have like a twenty dollars option. There's a brand called Katie Luxton I
9:37
think, and they have like a fifty dollars option. Michael Corer's coach Like,
9:41
there's way more affordable options. But if you're the high end girly that
9:45
wants to invest in a good quality wallet, I highly highly recommend the YSL
9:48
one. Next is a journal and planner. You guys know how much I
9:52
love to use my journal and my planner every single morning. And I get
9:56
so many dms on my planner in journal every sing time because it's a customized
10:01
one so it says my name on it. I just love anything customized lately,
10:03
Like I find it just has such a cute personal effect. And then
10:07
lastly for her or for the eight Girl gift guide, is a good workout
10:13
set, especially going into the new year. There's nothing more motivating than putting
10:16
on a new workout set. There's so many great brands out there like Alo
10:20
Yoga, Lululemon, Set Active four three seven. You guys know that I've
10:24
had my fair share of workout sets. I wear it every single day,
10:28
I live in it, I breathe in it. Like just I love workout
10:33
sets so much, so those are some of my favorite brands. I also
10:35
love crop Shop Boutique just one of my favorite like stylish active where brands.
10:39
So yeah, those are just some brands to name a few. But as
10:43
I said, you can never go wrong with a cute workout set, especially
10:46
going into the new year. I feel like we always want to try and
10:50
find ways to motivate ourselves to get into a healthier lifestyle. And yeah,
10:54
I find a workout set for Christmas is such a great idea to yeah,
10:58
start the new year off the right way. All right. This one's by
11:01
far my favorite category because I feel like I nailed this. But the man
11:05
that has everything, I got Zach to fully review everything that I put into
11:09
this gift guide, and he honestly said, you nailed it. Like there's
11:13
a lot of these things that guys honestly may have, but this is a
11:16
lot of things that I feel like guys don't have in my opinion. So
11:20
first one being Zach always, I think I'm gonna get this for Zack.
11:24
Hopefully he doesn't listen to this episode. Zack always leaves with a cooler whenever
11:28
we go to our friend's house or we have an outing or anything like that,
11:31
Like he needs to pack a cooler with beer, ice, whatever,
11:33
and obviously, like my drinks are included in as well, but he never
11:37
has a good cooler bag. So YETI has great coolers. Yes they're on
11:43
the higher price point, but there is more affordable ones by YETI that are
11:46
more practical for just going to someone's house or anything like that, like a
11:50
house party. It's more like I think it's in like one hundred dollars price
11:54
point, which I feel is not that bad for a cooler. Like coolers
11:58
are expensive in general, let's be honest. But this Yetti one that I
12:01
found is so good. It's all black, its super nice, and I
12:05
just think it's a really good gift idea because I feel like guys always love
12:09
coolers, and I think guys love anything from Yetti in general, let's be
12:11
honest. Zach also has the Yetti Coffee tumbler, which he loves. It
12:16
keeps his drink warm all morning for his coffee, So that's another really great
12:20
gift idea. The tumbler that I personally had in here that I think is
12:24
so great is the Ember Travel tumbler. If you guys have never heard of
12:28
Ember. Embert essentially is a brand that is a heated mug and essentially you
12:35
pour your coffee into this mug and it has a heated plate and it literally
12:39
keeps your coffee warm all morning. So they recently just came out with a
12:43
travel tembo that you can bring to work and just more convenient for the guy
12:46
that leaves work every day, for a guy that might be in the trades.
12:50
So that to me is a great gift idea for your guy, just
12:54
for something to keep your drink warm. I mean, I love coffee so
12:58
much in the morning. Guys love coffee the mor so it's just a great
13:01
little gift idea to give to your partners. So yeah, I highly highly
13:05
recommend that one. Okay, next is related to apparel. I feel like
13:09
girls always say, you know, how do you keep Zach stylish? And
13:13
honestly, for me, Zach has mastered his own style. I will give
13:16
him credit to that. But in the beginning, I felt like it was
13:20
easier to introduce him to new brands that he wasn't familiar with, and then
13:24
eventually he started to like that kind of clothing, if that makes sense.
13:28
So in the beginning I started to introduce him to Zara, he didn't really
13:31
like it in the beginning. Now he loves Zara Lululemon. He's been shopping
13:35
there recently, which you guys know about the track suit that he got for
13:39
Italy. He's obsessed with it. He still wears it all the time.
13:41
So that's another great option is a track suit from lou Lemon. But this
13:45
brand that I recently heard of this year, it's called Elwood. It's Eltwood
13:50
Clothing. They are known for their sweat sets. They're known for very high
13:52
quality and stylish items. And the best part about it is that it's also
13:56
unisex, so your boyfriend can wear it, but then you can also borrow
14:00
it. And it's just a really really good quality sweat set. I have
14:03
a few pieces from them, highly highly recommend it. I will leave my
14:07
discount code down below that way you guys can actually get a discount if you
14:09
guys do decide to shop there for your partner. I know I will definitely
14:13
be buying pieces for Zach from there for Christmas. Just really really good quality
14:16
stuff. So if you already have the guy that has everything from Lululemon or
14:22
from Zara or anything like that, I highly recommend checking elwoodout. I think
14:24
it's a really really good option for someone that likes to help their men out
14:31
with their style, or just if there's a guy out there that is super
14:33
stylish that you don't know what to get, that's another great option. Okay,
14:37
everybody is talking about this and I need to get this for Zach.
14:41
I think too. Skims came out with men's boxers. First off, genius
14:46
on Kim for releasing this before the holidays, such a great pr branding everything
14:54
like that. She absolutely killed it. And I personally want to get Zach
14:58
of Paris so badly because I think think it's a great gift idea for the
15:01
guy, and I swear I get Boxers for Zach every single year, because
15:05
men just don't like to buy useful things for themselves, let's be honest,
15:07
Like Zach literally he's like, oh my god, like I only have you
15:11
know, six pair of underwear laft. I'm like, oh, well,
15:13
maybe you should buy some like and then he never does. I don't know.
15:16
Guys are just like that, I find so I also feel like underwear
15:18
is a weird thing too, Like you don't want to spend your money on
15:22
that, do you know what I mean? Like there's things where are like
15:24
you want to spend your money on, and then there's things that you don't.
15:26
So I definitely think the boxers are really good stalking stuff your idea for
15:31
your man, and then another gift idea is experiences. This is also a
15:37
great gift idea for a girl as well. I feel like as you get
15:39
older, you realize how much you already have and how you don't really need
15:45
a lot of these things, and that I personally would rather experiences with Zach
15:48
or just doing something, you know, instead of just getting tangible things.
15:52
That's just like my personal opinion. But for experiences for guys, a lot
15:58
of great things that I think Zach would like would be you know, hockey
16:00
game tickets that he can go with the buddy with, you know, a
16:03
few rounds of golf. I think you would really really like concerts, trips,
16:07
like going on a weekend trip together. I don't know. I personally
16:11
feel like experiences are really great gift ideas, and yeah, that could be
16:15
for him or for her, but those are just some ideas to think about
16:19
for when you're gifting for your partner. Okay, the last thing I will
16:23
bring up for the man that has everything for this gift guide, you can
16:26
see more on my TikTok for everything that I'm talking about here for categories.
16:30
But the next one is a golf putting green. Let's be honest, every
16:37
guy practices their golf swing in their kitchen, in their garage, in their
16:41
backyard with absolutely nothing in their hands or anything like that. So I think
16:45
it's such a great gift idea to just like have your man go in the
16:48
basement and just put off this little green that he can just use to practice
16:53
his putt and all that. I don't know, I think it's a funny
16:55
gift idea. You can get it off Amazon. There's like really expensive options,
17:00
there's more affordable options. But Zach thought it was a good gift idea
17:03
and I thought it was too, just because I feel like ever since COVID,
17:06
everybody is into golf and that's fine. But anyways, if you want
17:11
to encourage your man to keep that golf swing going, then get him a
17:15
putting green and just shove it in the basement and keep your man busy that
17:18
way. But anyways, that's another gift idea for the man that has everything
17:22
all right. Next category is for your sister or for your best sie.
17:26
I put this one together just because I felt like, essentially it's the same
17:30
thing like I would gift my sister, what I would give my best friend,
17:33
Like it's the same typic category in my opinion, but the first one
17:37
that I currently have. And I know my sister's not going to listen to
17:41
this episode, so I'm going to say that I'm getting this for her.
17:44
But the base weekend or bag is such a great gift idea in my opinion,
17:49
it's pretty reasonably price. I feel like everybody could use a good travel
17:55
bag, and I feel like that's something that a lot of people struggle with,
17:57
is just having a bag that fits everything, that's easy for travels and
18:02
all that, and Base has such great luggage. I own their suitcases,
18:07
I own all their double bags, I own a lot of Base stuff,
18:10
and I can honestly say the quality is ten out of ten worth the money
18:12
in my opinion. I know a lot of influencers do post about it,
18:17
but it truly is a very good brand. And there is a lot of
18:21
expensive suitcase brands out there, don't get me wrong, like way more expensive
18:25
than Base. I have not personally tried those myself, but for the price
18:29
point that you pay for Base, I truly believe that it is one hundred
18:32
percent worth of money. So if you want to get your friend or your
18:34
sister a weekender bag, I've linked it in the Google docs. Personally,
18:38
I think it's a really, really good gift idea. You could also get
18:41
them a Base cosmetic bag. I feel like you can always upgrade a cosmetic
18:45
bag. I feel like mine is always always so filthy and could use an
18:49
upgrade. So yeah, definitely recommend. Honestly, anything from Base is a
18:53
great gift option. Next thing is Skims PJ sets. I live in Sims
19:00
pjs. I've had them for I think two years now. It's the boyfriend
19:03
tea in boxers. I personally just love to sleep with like very breathable clothes.
19:10
I don't like to wear anything tight when I'm going to bed, so
19:12
personally, I find Skims is one hundred percent worth the investment in getting a
19:17
good PJ set, And I mean I think it's a great gift idea for
19:19
a sister or for your best friend. Another great idea is a Majuri letter
19:26
necklace. I currently have one right now. I wear it every single day.
19:30
What I love about Marjury is that the quality is really really good and
19:33
you can wear it in the shower, doesn't turnish. Everything I've owned for
19:37
Marjury honestly has been very very good quality. Never had any issues with it
19:41
or anything. So the letter necklace, I find is a really cute idea
19:45
in my opinion. Again, with the whole personalized idea, I feel like
19:48
that is just so touching to give someone. So yeah, anything with a
19:53
letter, I feel like is super cute. So that's a great idea.
19:56
Another gift that I actually gave my sister a last price MS is getting zapped
20:02
together. If you guys don't know what zapped is, it's those bracelets where
20:04
you get permanently zapped onto your wrist and it doesn't come off, and you
20:11
can also like include a hook if you want. If you're the kind of
20:14
person that you know plays soccer or a lot of sports and you can't wear
20:18
jewelry, then you can also have the option of removing it if you want.
20:22
But there is options to also get a permanent bracelet. But the way
20:25
I see it is that it's almost like a friendship bracelet. So my sister
20:27
and I we got zapped together and it was a little friendship bracelet between her
20:33
and I and mine says m and her says kay Kay for Kayley and for
20:38
Madison. So it was just a cute little gift idea that I gave her
20:41
last year and we both still have our bracelets. We wear them all the
20:45
time. Yeah, I get so many messages actually asking me where the bracelet's
20:48
from, and it's from Magpie. They do it there. I'm sure there's
20:52
a bunch of other jewelers that could be local to you that do it as
20:56
well. It's pretty popular right now. And yeah, I just thought it
20:59
was a cute experience, but a cute gift idea as well. Another gift
21:03
idea is getting a more bougie candle for my bridesmaids. I got them the
21:07
La Labo custom candle. I love the whole customization aspect of it. Again,
21:14
anything customized is so in right now, and I just love the aspect
21:17
of the personalized touch to it. So getting a really high end custom candle
21:21
could be a really nice gift for someone. Another gift idea that I thought
21:25
of is the candle accessory set, which is essentially like a wick cutter,
21:30
just like everything all the tools that you need for your candle to keep it
21:34
in good condition, because sometimes people don't think about like cutting the wick or
21:38
anything like that, and the candles just burn out really quickly and then it's
21:41
a complete waste of your money. So getting a cute little accessory set is
21:45
also a nice little home to core aspect to your home. Putting it on
21:49
a coffee table, book, putting it on your coffee table. In general,
21:52
just having that set is super key for someone who loves to light candles.
21:56
You guys know me, I love to light candles, So I thought
22:00
that was a really cute and unique gift idea. And lastly, if your
22:04
sister or your best you don't have a good water bottle, or even for
22:08
yourself the simple modern tumbler or the Stanley tumbler. You guys know that getting
22:14
a new water bottle is always the best feeling, and I feel like it's
22:18
again, such a great gift idea to go into the new year. Having
22:21
a new water bottle, a new way for motivation to keep yourself hydrated,
22:25
and obviously having anything cute and esthetic near you all the time is so great.
22:29
So that's another gift idea for your sister or your bestie. All right,
22:33
This next one is for the parents or the in laws. I think
22:37
this is something I struggle with every single year, but I tried to think
22:41
of unique gift ideas for the dad, the mom, the in laws all
22:45
that. So first off, for the dad, I thought a knife set,
22:48
like a good quality knife set would be a really thoughtful gift, especially
22:52
for the dads that like to cook. I think this would be a really
22:55
good gift option idea. Another idea for the kitchen for either the mother or
23:00
the dad again is a good quality set of pans. There's really good brands
23:04
out there like our place that have great pots and pans options. Another brand
23:10
is castaway pans. Another one is less Oh god, I can't even say
23:15
it. I'm gonna butcher the name. I'm just gonna link it. I'm
23:18
not even gonna say it. You guys will know it as soon as you
23:21
see it in the Google docs. But there's another really high quality brand for
23:26
pots specifically. But yeah, those would be the top ideas I would have
23:32
for the person that loves to cook in the kitchen and just loves to have
23:36
a good quality knife set or pots and pans. This next gift idea for
23:41
the mom. I'm totally getting this from my mom just because my mom has
23:44
been in her reading era. The Kindle. My mom has been reading so
23:48
many books, like I'm talking like a book a week, like just NonStop,
23:53
and she doesn't have a kindle. I think she's honestly reading hard copy
23:56
books or from an iPad. So I thought the Kindle would be a really
24:00
good gift idea. So if your mom likes to read a lot and she
24:03
doesn't own one, I think that would be a really good gift option.
24:06
Another idea that could just be for like both your parents is the ring doorbell
24:11
camera. If you guys don't know what that is, it's a video camera
24:15
that essentially there's an app that notifies you when someone's at your door. I
24:21
have one, and I got one because of my job, just like packages
24:23
come to the door all the time, and also for safety reasons. I
24:26
think having that is super crucial. And I just thought it was a good
24:30
gift idea for you know. Again, this could also be an in law
24:33
gift idea, just because I feel like everyone could use an upgrade on their
24:37
doorbell, and I feel like it's a very parent thing to give in my
24:41
opinion. I mean, I would love to receive it or any homeowner gift
24:45
idea. If you don't have it, I think it's a really good idea.
24:48
Another idea for the parents is those Amazon like smart TVs, not TVs,
24:52
but like almost looks like mini iPads smart pads, if that makes sense.
24:57
It's good for people that like search up like recipes. We have one
25:02
in our kitchen. It's just really convenient to have. And again, another
25:04
great gift idea for homeowners or for parents or for the in laws. This
25:11
next one I thought was a really great experience gift for again parents or in
25:15
laws is a SPA gift card. Let them go to the spa together,
25:19
give them a little date day or a date night for them to do.
25:22
I thought it was a really thoughtful gift to do something together with your partner.
25:27
So this could also be for your boyfriend or for your girlfriend, or
25:32
as I said, for your parents or for your in laws, just having
25:34
an experience at the spa all day, just giving yourself the rest relaxation.
25:38
I thought that was a really good gift idea in my opinion. Another thing
25:42
for the dad could be a Bluetooth speaker or golf passes. Again, this
25:47
is just rounds of golf that your dad could use. I mean, guys
25:51
are never going to say no to that. Figure out what golf courses they
25:53
like, or see if you can even get a golf pass that allows you
25:56
to go to multiple different golf courses than your area. I think that'd be
26:00
a good gift idea. I'm going to also give the idea of skimps for
26:04
your mom because I feel like, I know my mom doesn't really buy pajamas
26:08
for herself. I feel like we always gift her some every year and she
26:11
just uses that as your PJS. So I feel like skimpjs for your mom
26:17
is also a really good gift idea. Another great gift for your mom is
26:22
the Hatch alarm clock or for you. You guys know how much you love
26:26
mine. It is one hundred percent worth of money. In my opinion,
26:30
it has changed the game for my sleep schedule. You guys know how much
26:33
I write about this product, but I think this could be a really good
26:37
gift idea for your in law or for your mom if she doesn't have a
26:41
good alarm clock. It really does change the game. There is also really
26:45
good dupes on Amazon if you're looking for something that's a bit more affordable,
26:48
I can link the Amazon doupe. That way, you guys have two different
26:52
price options, just because I know the Hatch is a bit of a pricier
26:55
option, but it really is worth the money in my opinion. And then
27:00
lastly, for the mom that loves tea, I think a new kettle would
27:04
be a really good option. There's Smeg, there's other really good brands as
27:08
well, and then you know you can gift her a kettle with assorted teas.
27:12
I think that's something that I really want to do for my mom,
27:15
just because my mom loves tea so much, so I thought getting her assorted
27:18
teas, just to try different teas out, and then a new kettle would
27:22
be a really cute gift idea. All right, Next category is stalking stuffers
27:27
or gifts under fifty dollars. I love a good hair clip, and one
27:33
of my favorite brands is by the brand EMYJ. They have really really cute
27:37
esthetic hair clips and I just love to clip this on my handbag when you
27:41
know you're on the go and you might need to put your hair up.
27:44
It's just like very convenient to have, and it's a very affordable and small
27:48
little gift to have or to give someone. Another great stalking stuffer is silk
27:53
pillowcases. This is definitely something that I'm going to be asking for this year.
27:57
I also feel like silk pillowcase is definitely something that can be upgraded,
28:03
meaning like I feel like I've had my silk pillowcases now for two years and
28:07
I just like I need a new one. I've washed it so many times.
28:10
It's definitely had good enough where where you know, sleeping on it for
28:14
two years, you know it just it's it's time for an upgrade. So
28:18
I think a silk pillowcase is a really good gift idea for stalking stuffer or
28:22
even to give to a friend. I think it's a really good gift idea.
28:26
One thing I put on my stocking list last year that I really loved
28:29
that I used a lot this year is my Bala ankle weights. I love
28:33
doing workouts at home, as you guys know, I love doing pilates and
28:37
I've gotten really good use out of my ankle weights. So if you're the
28:41
kind of person that really wants to, you know, elevate their workouts at
28:47
home, I highly recommend checking out ankle weights. This is also a great
28:49
gift to give. If you know someone that's really into wellness or a healthy
28:53
lifestyle or loves pilates, this would be a great gift option. Another great
28:59
gift is an air tag. This AirTag was so good for Zach and I
29:03
when we used it in Italy for our suitcases, or just to give someone
29:07
that loses something all the time, like putting it in your wallet or even
29:11
trying to figure out a way to put it on your phone case. I've
29:15
seen people put it on their dogs, just on the dog collar, just
29:18
in case of the dog goes missing. They can track it through the app.
29:22
All in all, I think an AirTag is really essential to have,
29:25
and you can put it with anything that you honestly think you lose a lot
29:27
all the time. I definitely think I'm gonna get this from my mom because
29:30
my mom misplaces her purse all the time, and I feel like putting an
29:34
AirTag and that would be really crucial for hers. It's pretty affordable for a
29:37
stocking stuffer idea or just a small gift idea. Another stocking stuffer idea that
29:42
I feel like people don't think about, but it's really great for travels or
29:45
for someone that uses their phone all the time for work, like myself,
29:49
a portable phone charger. The amount of times my phone is dead and I'm
29:53
like, why don't I have a portable phone charger, Like it's so convenient
29:57
to use if you'd go on a load of road trips like that. You
30:00
just need something like that that is super crucial to have. So you can
30:03
get them on Amazon for really affordable, or you can get those portable charger
30:08
phone cases from Apple. I believe those are also really good to have if
30:12
you're the kind of person that your phone always dies really fast. Last idea
30:17
that I had for stalking stuffers is just really cute socks or asthetic socks.
30:21
This could be for a guy in your life or for yourself. For the
30:23
girls, you know how much I love my bear socks from Ralph Lauren,
30:30
just really really cute socks and they wear them all the time. They're super
30:33
cozy. And then even for guys, if you're dating someone who's a businessman
30:36
who's always wearing suits that likes to wear fun asthetic socks, that could be
30:41
a really cute stalking stuffer idea as well. All right, last category is
30:45
for me personally, what is my wish list? Honestly I still need to
30:51
work on mine. I feel like I haven't nailed everything that I want,
30:55
but honestly, there isn't too much that I do want. Again, what
30:57
I said earlier was I I personally want more experiences or just like potentially me
31:03
and Zach just putting something towards the house that we need or for our wedding,
31:08
Like I'd rather put the cost towards those things than these tangible things.
31:12
But if I was asked Zach or my parents to get me things, these
31:17
were the things that I would ask for. First one being I really want
31:21
the led face mask so badly. There's brands like Current Body and Higher Dose.
31:26
I believe I just want to elevate my skincare so much. I love
31:30
doing skincare, and I think getting this led face mask would be definitely something
31:36
that's worth the investment. I personally don't have any reviews that I can provide
31:41
or anything like that. I know it is a higher price point, but
31:44
it's something that I really want to try. With the Red Therapy mask,
31:47
I hear really good things about it for people who really struggle with just their
31:51
mood and all that. And you guys know that I've talked about how I've
31:53
been trying to find ways just to boost my mood or just help with my
31:56
seasonal depression and all that. And it's supposed to just help with your mood
32:00
and all that. There's a lot of other benefits. Honestly, I could
32:02
do the research right now and tell you guys all the benefits to it,
32:05
but I would just do your research before adding this to your list. But
32:09
I personally really really want this, and I think it'd be a really good
32:13
thing to elevate my current morning routine, just to add that into my routine.
32:19
And then another thing I want. This is so random and this could
32:22
be a stocking stuff or to be honest, I really want the self Tanner
32:25
sleepsack. If you guys have never heard of this, Essentially, it's like
32:28
a sleeping bag for your bed. But you guys know how much I love
32:31
to get spray tands in the wintertime. But one thing I absolutely hate is
32:36
seeing how dirty my bed sheets get from my self tanner. Like it's literally
32:40
the worst thing. I swear to God. I have to clean my bedding
32:43
too often just to remove the self tanner. And luckily, I mean white
32:46
is super easy to clean. But I've seen people post this all over Amazon.
32:51
It's called the self Tanner Sleepsack. That's literally what it's called anyways.
32:54
Like I said, it's basically a sleeping bag that you sleep in when you
32:59
just got a spray tear or if you're the kind of person that loves to
33:00
self tnd on the weekends, this is totally for you. It's super affordable,
33:05
But it's just like a little gift idea that I just really want.
33:08
Another thing that I want. And this sounds so crazy that I feel like
33:14
an old person just thinking about this, but I really want a good quality
33:19
hand soap and lotion set. I currently have the A Soap Ones. They
33:22
definitely are expensive, but I have had it for a year and a half
33:25
now and I just ran out of the hand soap and lotions, so it's
33:30
time to get an upgrade. But I want to try out a different brand
33:32
this time. I hear at Lilabo has a good hand soap and lotion set,
33:37
so I definitely want to try that out. Another really good quality hands
33:42
like handset with the soap and lotion to put in your bathrooms that's a bit
33:45
more of affordable price point, but has a really good scent and still gives
33:49
that luxury feel. Is Way Way has such good hand soaps. I have
33:53
it in all my bathrooms upstairs and downstairs, and I love it so so
33:58
much. But for my kids, I just like wanted a boogier one,
34:01
And again I feel like as a homeowner, that just sounds so ridiculous,
34:06
but it's something that I like to do for myself and it makes me happy,
34:08
So that's something that I'm going to ask for. I really want to
34:12
make up vanity for my closet room. I currently don't have a space to
34:16
do my makeup like I have space in my bathroom. But you girlies know,
34:20
like you just want a space to be able to sit and do your
34:22
makeup. And I have this perfect spot in my closet with a window that
34:25
I really just want to put a makeup vanity there for me to do my
34:29
makeup because I'm constantly just sitting on the ground in front of a window with
34:32
a mirror doing my makeup every single time whenever we go out or just during
34:37
the dan in general. So yeah, I definitely want to get a makeup
34:40
vanity for my room. I am in desperate need of a new bathrobe.
34:45
I love robes so much. You guys know that I literally live in mine
34:49
and she needs Yeah, I need a new one. I've had mine for
34:52
almost two years now and I love it, but it's time for an upgrade.
34:57
And Pottery Barn just came out with really cute ones in this like Shirpa
35:01
material and they do personalized logos on it, like you can do your initials
35:07
on it. So I'm gonna be getting probably KOs I don't even know,
35:12
maybe I'll do See this is the weird thing. Since I am getting married,
35:16
I need to think about the whole last name thing. So I don't
35:21
know how I'm gonna do my initials on certain things. Anyways, I want
35:24
to do maybe just like k on it, just because, as I said,
35:28
I love anything personalized. Right now, I think it's such a cute
35:30
gift. So yeah, that's linked in the dock. Another thing is this
35:36
is again more of an affordable also great stalking stuff idea is Day Hair.
35:39
They have really good hair products like shampoo, conditioners, styling cream, all
35:44
that, and they just came out with the perfect styling gift set. If
35:47
you're the kind of a girl that loves to do slick back ponytails like myself.
35:51
They came out with a new gift set that includes their styling cream as
35:54
well as a spray that's supposed to be almost got a hairspray that sticks your
35:59
hair back, and it comes with like a mini brush which almost looks like
36:02
a toothbrush, but it's supposed to like help with like little bumps in your
36:06
hair, because you know, when you do slickback looks, there's sometimes bumps
36:08
that happen in your hair and you don't really know what to do with it.
36:12
This little brush is supposed to cure that problem. So anyways, it's
36:15
just a little gift idea that I saw that I was like, I need
36:17
this in my life, especially for someone like me who does a lot of
36:21
slickback looks, it's crucial. And then lastly, as I said, just
36:24
experiences in general, Like I would love to have a little weekend trip with
36:29
Zach, maybe go to Montreal for the weekend, or even rent out a
36:32
cabin for a weekend. I think that would be really fun. I love
36:36
having experiences, either with my family or with Zach or just my friends in
36:39
general. I personally think those are the times where you make the most memories,
36:44
and they're also the most memorable ones. So if I had to pick,
36:47
I would choose that over everything else that I even said in this wish
36:51
list is just an experience. So I told Zach that we'll see. I
36:54
don't know if we'll have a weekend thing just because, yeah, we'll see.
36:58
We haven't even really talked about Chris gifts, so that's something I need
37:00
to talk about with him. But those are just some ideas that I thought
37:05
were really good gift ideas for either the man that has everything, your sister,
37:09
your bestie, your parents, your in laws, stalking stuffers, all
37:13
that As I said, everything will be linked in the Google docs that I
37:17
will be sharing in the podcast details, so definitely make sure to stay tuned
37:22
for that and just see it there if you want gift ideas for your loved
37:28
