Ready to get some ideas for the holiday list?
If you’ve got a tea lover on your list, the Bjorn Tea Set from Viva Scandinavia is gorgeous. The modern design of this glass teapot with a stainless steel infuser is sleek and fits any style. The set includes four cups and a tray for serving and is a delightful way to serve tea.
‘Tis the season for all the wrapping and if you need a stocking stuffer idea that will be useful all year round {or you just want to make your own life a bit easier}, the Wrap Buddy is just the thing. With clips to attach each piece to any table, it holds a roll of wrapping paper in place while you cut and ensures the tape is easy to find. It also makes it easy to grab a piece with only one hand. But my favorite use for the Wrap Buddy is something that all you cutting machine users will love. It’s the perfect thing to hold a roll of transfer paper so you can easily lay it over your vinyl designs before transferring. Perfect, right?
Do you have a gardener on your Christmas list? A gardening bench is a unique gift idea to make those hours of planting a whole lot more enjoyable.
I’ve absolutely loved my Book of the Month Club subscription and if you need a gift for an avid reader, this is a great one. For an affordable rate, the gift recipient can choose a book each month and have it delivered straight to their home.
Gya Labs essential oils make a great gift for anyone who loves the therapeutic value of oils, enjoys aromatherapy or massage, or likes to craft with oils {I’ve used them to make vapor shower melts and cooling cubes for sunburns and mosquito bites}. Add a few favorite scents to someone’s stocking or package a whole pile up in a basket.
Yoga dice are a fun idea for someone who loves to create their own workout and likes to add a little variety to the process. It’s also a fun way to get active with the whole family.

Where are all the Harry Potter fans? This gift idea is two-fold: you can either give this Harry Potter Crochet book to a Hogwarts-loving hook-wielding friend or you can whip up a character or two and gift those instead. Who wouldn’t love a wizardy yarn creation?
The Infusion Cozy Cup with a knit cuff is just the cutest! Made for a tea lover, the cups even have a slit to hold the tea bag string. Paired with a box or bag of a favorite tea, they’d make such a cute and affordable gift idea!
Knitters, crocheters, and crafters will love the Yarn of the Month subscription box. How fun is it to get creative mail every month?
If you know someone who loves kombucha, inspire them to make their own with a kombucha kit. My oldest son has been making his own kombucha with completely unique flavors … and saving lots of money in the process!
I’m a huge matcha fan and if you know someone else that is, give the gift of matcha this holiday season! Inspired by a trip to Japan, Matcha Kari sources and provides the world’s best matcha. And in addition to matcha, they also have gorgeous accessories {bamboo whisks and ceramic tea bowls}, starter kits, and membership packages. If you’re looking for a unique gift idea, look no further!

Like the gardening bench shared above, an indoor gardening kit is a fun way to inspire your favorite gardener … and perfect for this time of year.
And if you need a little stocking stuffer for that gardener, add a pair of herb scissors!
If you’re looking for a gift idea that works for everyone, keep a few bottles of Mer-Sea room spray or a few candles on hand. They make an ideal stocking stuffer, gift idea, or hostess gift for the holiday season {or all year round}. I’m a huge candle fan but room spray is also perfect for those times you want to add a scent to a room but don’t want candles burning.
Do you know someone who likes to build, loves birds, or enjoys doing projects with the kids? This Build-It-Yourself Birdhouses book is the perfect idea. The houses and feeders in it are fun and unique {I want to build all of them!} and the perfect way to bring all the birds to the yard.

Have you heard of Stitch Fix? It’s a personal style service … and they have it for men and kids, too! If you know someone who never knows what to buy for their wardrobe, Stitch Fix is a great gift. It’s delivered right to your door, is personalized based on questions you answer, and it’s a fun way to try new clothes and styles.
Everyone has video doorbells these days and they’re a fun idea for a techie or a home improvement buff. And a great way to add a little extra security to your home.
Do you have a guy on your list who loves to travel, or loves unusual things, or is a total foodie? This gift idea will appeal to all those things! The Holiday Box is full of snacks from thirteen different countries, including Spain, France, Germany, and Switzerland. It’s like having a taste of the world without leaving home!

And be sure to check out the rest of the goodies from Helen Jon {the bracelets are another awesome teen gift idea}.
My girls love to paint their nails and we’re all kind of smitten with mood nailpolish. It changes color as hands heat up or cool down and ends up with a really cool ombre effect.

If you know someone who loves to write, doodle, and draw, gift them a ghost paper notebook. These beautiful notebooks have smooth, faux leather covers and embossed and debossed lines on the pages rather than colored lines. They’re a beautiful way to jot down a few notes and they make an elegant gift for anyone.
If you’ve got a kiddo that wouldn’t love a standard journal, give them a Wreck This Journal instead.

Don’t forget the dog or cat this holiday season! Most of these gift ideas benefit the owner as well.

A grooming glove makes pet care so much easier and really helps out those shedding dogs or cats.
