Cariloha Bamboo Socks – Keep your toes comfy & cozy all year long

Review coming soon. Yes I do want socks for Christmas, but only if they’re Cariloha Bamboo socks!

I have a confession to make, the only socks I like to wear are my bamboo socks from Cariloha. In fact I love everything from Cariloha from their bath towels, bedding to their clothes. At first I only had a couple of pairs of their socks and then I found myself looking for just those few pairs because none of my other socks felt as good to wear. They cook your feet when it’s hotter out, wick away moisture, they are cozy to wear in cold weather and seriously they are my socks of choice! While you can’t go wrong with anything from Cariloha in my opinion you will want their socks for sure. It’s why Cariloha ALWAYS makes it on to our Holiday Gift Guide year after year.

Books for avid readers

I love to read so you I know I always appreciate receiving books. I know it can be hard to buy books for others but for those who truly love to read, they appreciate the effort. You could also always give them a gift card to a bookstore. Here are a few that I’m looking forward to and a few that I’ve read already.

All The Missing Girls
Mistletoe Secret  – I read this one and it was a sweet and endearing story. I love how the guy feels so connected to the female’s writing that he goes in search of her just based on her what she’s written. He knows nothing else about her, her name, how she looks. You find yourself rooting for him.
Mistletoe Promise  – Naturally I had to read holiday inspired books and the Mistletoe Promise was just as lovely to read as the Mistletoe Secret. They are both moving stories about love, forgiveness and more. Your teen-ager might even like them a

Tile helps you track down your misplaced valuables

Read our full review HERE

Know anyone who loses their phone, keys or other items? Get them Tile!

It’s a joke in our home how between my husband and my daughter they are both constantly looking for their misplaced phones. In fact with my husband it’s not just his phone but his keys too. I can’t count the number of times in the mornings when it’s time for him to leave for the day when he’s asked has anyone seen my keys? Where’s my phone? Where’s my wallet? Do you have that happening at home too? Well thank goodness we can now make our mornings easier to find our misplaced with Tile!

Anne Klein Rose Gold Watch & Bracelet Set

Read our review HERE

The Anne Klein Rose Gold Watch and Bracelet Set is a wonderful gift any time of the year. When I received the Anne Klein Rose Gold Watch and Bracelet set I was immediately taken with it, so much so that my original plans of giving it to someone as a gift went out the window as it found it’s way to my jewelry box.

Faithful Scents Candles

Every candle is hand poured with exuberant amounts of love, bottled with grace and shipped through prayer.

I love these candles, not only do they make for a wonderful gift on their own, in a gift basket or in a stocking but they have a beautiful message too. They smell wonderful, I really enjoy the Pumpkin Souffle scent. They can be given as gifts any time of the year for really any occasion. I gave one recently to our friends whose dog went to the Rainbow Ridge. I thought the term “Faithful Scent” was appropriate for the loss of a faithful companion and for the original message of the candles. It can be an uplifting gift.

CiPU Tote Diaper Bag

Leaving the house with little ones in tow can really be a chore, especially when you have a lot of gear to carry. As parents we know that one misplaced favorite blanket or toy can make or break an outing with little ones but when you’re short on space it’s hard to fit everything you need for the day into one bag. With the CiPU Tote Diaper Bag you never have to worry about running out of room because it has 13 compartments that make storing your gear easier than ever!

  1. These are all great gifts but I love the socks especially. I decided some time ago that these hard working feet deserve better quality (and some cool style) and only regret not switching sooner. 🙂

  2. The foldover bag is such a cute look. I gave one to my SIL a few years ago and my daughter just picked one up before the holidays.

    Reply

  3. That Armstrong watch would be excellent for me since I don’t wear a lot of jewelry also a plus since using my phone to keep time is not professional me having to look at phone just to check the time.

  14. This is a great list! I would add a portable charger for tech devices, and an e-reader – all my friends would love either of those.

    Reply

  15. I love the Ann Klein Rose Gold Watch and Bracelet Set and my daughter probably would also. We both love rose gold jewelry and that would make a great gift for her birthday in February.

    Reply

  80. not all women want home appliances for a gift and hopefully she already does yoga or that could be taken in the wrong context. There should be gifts for the other type of women like a pink tool set, a motorcycle helmet etc. I like the wrap because they are soft, warm and easy to wear

    Reply

    • Hi Angela,

      True not all would want home appliances but some do hence why we list a variety of things because everyone is different. It was actually some readers who love yoga that suggested yoga items, I see what you’re saying but also it’s up to the gift giver to decide what’s appropriate and whether or not it would be taken the wrong way, we can’t anticipate that. Just like not all would want a motorcycle helmet, there’s not one gift fits all in my opinion. Thanks for your suggestions.

      Reply

  81. I think a great addition would be some sort of makeup or nail polish gift, like a beauty box or nail polish subscription!

    Reply

  85. Chamilia Azure Skies Bangle Bracelet & Charms is the perfect gift for Christmas for the women on your list its so pretty everyone would love one.

    Reply

  109. Jewelry, candles, guft cdrtificates to a local day spa for mani- pedi, facial or a massage is always a lovely gift. I think lots of people would like a DNA test from Ancestry.com to see where they actually originated from, but unless they have talked about it, it might not be for everyone. Thanks for the giveaway!

  111. I have a question concerning the Mer Sea Travel Wrap –( Review Coming Soon). Is this item available in other colors? I’d love a rich brown wrap.
