While I know I should do separate gift guides based on personality, interest, genders, ages, etc., I thought I’d start by throwing together just a list of some of my favorite things! Hopefully this will prove to be helpful for you as you try and find some gift options for yourself or those on your list this year!
Makeup Lover’s Gift Guide
It is not secret that I love Seint Makeup, and I would pretty much recommend it all, haha! But here are some really great options for makeup gifts that I have found, from Seint along with some other really great brands.
Seint Starter Collections: This is a great place to get started with Seint, for you or your loved one. They include pictures so you can color match yourself (or the person you are buying for). And with 3 size options to choose from, you can fit it within any need/budget!
Makeup Brushes: A good makeup brush set is always a good idea, and these ones are fantastic quality!!! You can also grab single brushes here: Individual Makeup Brushes
Bronzer Bundle: This is a great way to add some color to your complexion during the cold winter months! My favorite, and the most universal, is the Bella Bronzer Bundle!
Tarte Juicy Lips: If you’ve been around a minute, you know my love for this lip line! If you love a good glossy lip, these will be your best friends! And they have so many color options to choose from!
Diamonds Are Forever Lipstick: This is the perfect — and much less expensive — dupe for the viral Tom Ford lipstick! It is absolutely stunning and definitely a favorite! And don’t let the sparkle scare you! It is super subtle and makes for a perfect natural lip!
Prep & Set Collection: The perfect set for all makeup lovers! It includes a primer, setting spray, and a fine powder! A definite beauty must-have!
Olive Rose: No-makeup makeup with the powerhouse ingredient, hydroxytyrosol. Gives a natural finish while also providing your skin with some extra TLC.
Hair Gift Guide
While I would not consider myself a hair expert, I definitely appreciate good hair products, and these are some of my favorites.
Seint Classic Brush: This brush is the best of all worlds! It is strong/stiff enough to give your hair (and scalp) a good brushing, while also including boar bristles for a gentle detangling. It is comparable to the professional (and very pricey!) brushes out there. Great for an everyday brush!
Seint Detangle/Wet Brush: With both a flexible head and flexible bristles, this brush is ideal for gently working through your wet hair to remove tangles without compromising your hair’s integrity.
Glow Beauty Detangle Brush: This one is fantastic for really getting down to the scalp. If you want a good scalp brushing, you will LOVE this brush!
Seint Heavenly Hair Oil: This is the perfect hair oil. First of all, it smells divine! But it is also not too heavy or oily, while still providing just the right amount of hydration and shine to the hair. It also serves as a heat protectant, which I love!
Seint Cleansing Cream: This is not your typical shampoo/conditioner combo. While there is a slightly learning curve to using it (make sure you read the directions), your hair will be softer and cleaner than ever before! Plus, it keeps your hair smelling incredible for days on end!!!
Kitch Hair Towel: The perfect microfiber hair towel for drying your hair on hair washing day!
Oliveda Shampoo and Conditioner: If you love clean beauty and the power of olive leaf elixir and hydroxytyrosol that Oliveda products have, then you will love adding Oliveda’s shampoo and/or conditioner to your haircare line up.
Rowe Casa Organics Hair Bars: Speaking of clean hair washing products, have you ever used a shampoo bar or conditioner? If you have thick hair, and love a really good lather, you will especially love the shampoo bar! It is a must-try!
Dyson Airwrap: These are pricey, yes. But worth every penny!
Voloom: I have shared about my love for this tool many time as a way to get some added height at the roots. My favorite is the Voloom Rootie! Use the code KELLYS20 for 20% off your order! You can check out my tutorials HERE and HERE.
Long Barrel Curling Irons: I have shared about these a lot, because I absolutey love these curling irons! The barrels are longer, so they are great for long hair, and they glide through the hair so smoothly, making them super easy to use and gentle on the hair!
3 Barrel Curling Iron (1.25 inch): Without fail, when I use this hair tool, I get compliments on my hair. And besides it looking great, I love that it LASTS! When I use this tool, I can go DAYS without having to touch it up!
Heatless Curls: The popularity of heatless curls has reached an all-time high, and for good reason!
Skincare Gift Guide
I am obsessed with all things Oliveda, and believe everyone should be using this skincare. If you haven’t tried it yet, now is the time! And you can find literally something for everyone with Oliveda!
Skincare Sets: These are always a great place to start. You can hone in on a specific skin type or issue while also getting the products at a great discount!
Oliveda Shower Gels & Bath: From shower gels to body oils, I love how clean and hydrated my skin feels after showers! My favorite smell is the Cinnamon Ginger! Smells like Christmas year round, and who doesn’t love that?!?
Love Duo: Without knowing anything about someone’s skin, if I had to recommend a place for someone to get started on this line, this is what I would recommend every time!
Foot Softening Balm: Our feet often take a beating, especially as we get older! This foot softening balm works wonders! You can see my results after using it HERE. You can also grab it in a set: Happy Feet Set
Anti-Aging Hand Cream: Perfect for the bedside table at night! Light and silky finish, and smells great!
Face Masks: Everyone loves a little extra TLC for their skin! Especially one that feels like more of a luxury item! And Oliveda face masks deliver just that! The Olive Matcha or Honey Enzyme are great options for gifting!
Exfoliator: Exfoliating is crucial for good skin, and this is a great one to use and gift to a loved one!
Lip Balm: If you have ever used the Laneige lip mask, you know how great a good lip mask can be! And the Oliveda one does not disappoint! You’re lips will be softer than ever!
Internals: Oliveda’s Beauty Elixirs taste great and provide incredible skincare benefits! Grab a bottle (or 3), add a couple of shot glasses, tie it all up with a bow, and you will have the perfect gift!
Travel Gift Guide
I love to travel. And while I do not travel nearly as much as I would like, I have found a few travel favorites over the years that I thought I would share with you!
Seint Brush Holder: I wasn’t sure what to think the first time I saw this brush holder, but it turns out I absolutely love it! And you will too! It is especially great for storing your double-ended brushes!
Tobique Toiletry Bag: I have lots of toiletry bags that I have collected over the years, and I continue to go back to this one every time! There is so much storage space and the the organization is next level! Love, love, love!
Tobique Duffle Bag: The divided sections makes organized packing a dream!
Jewelry Travel Case: I try to keep my jewelry to a minimum when I travel. But on the occasions when I travel and know I will need to dress up on the trip, I love having a safe place to store my jewelry that can lay flat in my luggage and not take up any extra room.
Food/Treats Gift Guide
Finding a special treat or food item that is not something you can easily grab on your next grocery store run is always a fun gift to give/receive. These are a few that I have found over the years that I have gifted with lots of success!
Buttermints: I found these recently, and instantly became obsessed! The flavors are amazing, and they just melt in your mouth… literally!
Sinful Foods Garlic Olive Oil: If you love a good flavorful dish, you have to try their Garlic Olive Oil! It is amazing for dipping bread and cooking just about anything: chicken, pasta, etc! If you, or someone on your list is a garlic lover, this is a must-have.
The Gourmet Way Oils & Vinegars: It may be olive oil and vinegar, but they are more of a treat than anything else! I can literally eat them plain! And that is saying something! Combos like the lime oil and coconut vinegar, or lemon oil and blueberry or raspberry vinegar are to die for! Yes, you can cook with them or add them to salad, but try mixing them with vanilla ice-cream or to your spite. Sounds weird, I know! But trust me on this one!
Black Crow Caramels: Great texture and fantastic flavors! I especially love me a good black licorice or coconut caramel!
Parami Curry: If you like curry, then these are a must! Perfect for cooking chicken with and then adding over rice! Very authentic and flavorful!
Rop’d Licorice: These European licorice ropes are not like American licorice. They have soft, flavorful centers that make them next level! I am especially a fan of their Cotton Candy one!
Jewelry Gift Guide
I love jewelry! And I have found some really great brands over the years that I have come to truly love. Here are some of my favorites!
Hello Adorn: I have shopped at Hello Adorn for years, and absolutely love this brand! Probably one of my favorites to shop from! I guarantee you will find something you love from them!
Made by Mary: The customizations, the packaging, and the whole concept behind this brand is just perfect.
Linjer: If you like quality, delicate jewelry, without the the high price tag, this is a fantastic brand! I have bought a number of pieces from them, and have been so satisfied with every single one of them!
Hey June: Cute, inexpensive jewelry pieces that often fit in with the current jewelry trends!
Purses/Bags Gift Guide
I have always loved a good, classic and quality purse. These are a few of my tried and true favorites.
Hobo: Some of my favorites include the Lauren Clutch-Wallet, Lumen Continental Wallet, Fern Messenger Crossbody, Fern Sling, and the Dayton Wristlet.
Frye Crossbody Wristlet: I got this one last year and was so pleased with it. Great size, great color, and great quality.
Sapahn: With lots of color and style choice, this is always a great option if you want a fun, but quality bag.
Game Lovers Gift Guide
Cover Your Assets: This quickly became a family favorite! My 6 year old loves it as much as me and my husband! It can get pretty lively and competitive, but in a fun and friendly way!
Skip-Bo: This is a classic favorite of mine. While basic, it is a fun game to play on a rainy day to pass the time!
SkyJo: This one is a lot of fun. It is a good mix of strategy and luck!
Ransom Notes: This one will definitely make you laugh! Always fun to play with a group of friends!
Chameleon: Such a fun game to play in a group! Keeps everyone on their toes and makes for some good laughs!

Wallie Phone Case: These phone cases are hands-down my favorite ones! So cute and incredibly practical! Use code KELLYS for 10% off at checkout!
Pressed Floral: From necklaces to wall hangings, their pressed flower pieces are absolutely beautiful!
Owala Water Bottle: I know Stanley’s have been all the rage forever, but I am a loyal fan of the Owala water bottle. It keeps my drinks cold, and I love that I can drink from it like a straw or the normal way!
Blenders Sweet Diva Sunglasses: I have bought and rebought this same pair over and over again! I have loved these sunglasses and make sure I have a pair in both of our vehicles and my purse so I am never without!
Hammock: You can use this hammock indoors or outdoors! It is the perfect way to relax! And the setup and take down only takes a few minutes!
Beauty Gift Guide
Foot Peeling Mask: If you have never used one of these before, then be prepared for super soft feet and the satisfaction of watching all your dead skin sluff away (sounds gross, but it really is oh-so-satisfying!).
Isle of Paradise Tanning Drops: These drops are great for adding into your moisturizer for a more natural tan. I personally always go a shade darker so I can get the same results, but use less product!
Body Coverage Perfector: It works more like a body makeup that lasts! As someone who is super fair skinned, doesn’t love dealing with self-tanner, but also likes a little color from time-to-time (like special occasions), this has been a game changer!
Heel Socks: These are another great gift idea for soft feet! These open toed socks have a gel lined heel that keeps the heel moisturized and heals/prevents dry and cracked feet!
Klani Hair Tie Bracelets: If you haven’t seen these before, you are in for a treat. They are elasticated bracelets. So you can wear them on your wrists as a cute bracelet, but then they double as a hair elastic too! Another cute and practical gift idea!
Seint Perfumes: From fine mists, to rose gold illuminators infused with scent, these are a fantastic gift! My personal favorite scents are Seint No. 3 and Seint No. 5, but really you can’t go wrong with any of them!
Hello Skincare Lash Therapy: I have tried a lot of lash serums, and this one is by far my favorite. Use the code KELLYS20 for 20% off your order!
Almond Shower Oil: It comes out as an oil, but turns more creamy when you apply it to your damp skin. I love using this to shave my legs with! It always leaves the skin feeling super smooth and soft!
Billie Razors: Speaking of shaving, if you have not already switched over to the Billie razor, now is a great time to do it! I have never gotten a closer shave than when I have used this razor!
Soft and Cozy Gift Guide
Minky Couture Blanket: If you love a good, soft blanket, you don’t need to look any further.
Lola Weighted Blanket: Super soft, weighted, and it has some stretch to it. Could you ask for anything more?
Adult Swaddle Blanket: These blankets are soft, thin, stretchy and the perfect blanket for wrapping yourself up tight in!
Soul Pak: This rice pack is next level! Great size, great quality, and super cute styles to choose from! Use code KELLY for 10% off at checkout!
Sleep Crown Pillow: These are excellent for the sleeper that likes to block out sound and light. Plus, if you like that little bit of light pressure on your forehead, you’ll find it extra relaxing.
Tommy Johns Pajamas: I have bought several pair of their pajamas over the years, and they never disappoint! Their material is so incredibly soft and comfortable! And the quality can’t be beat!
Massager Gift Guide
Foot Massager: If you like a good foot and calf massage, you will love this.
Leg Massager: While getting yourself all setup and strapped in is a bit of overhead, the leg massage it provides is well worth it!
Eye Massager: A different kind of massager that is nice and relaxing! Also helps with migraines for anyone who deals with those.
Kitchen Gift Guide
Kitchen Aid: I always assume this is something that most people have already. But if you don’t, you should absolutely get one! My advice: go bigger with the quart size (you won’t regret it) and get the one that has a tilting head on it!
Mels Kitchen Cafe Cookbook: I have used so many recipes from her website over the years, that getting her cookbook only made sense!
Ninja Creami: This has been all the rage the last couple of years, and for good reason. This is an easy way to make ice-cream, including healthier alternatives to satisfy the sweet tooth while also giving you extra protein, etc.
Ninja Creami Cookbook: This book has some great recipes for some tasty homemade ice-cream!
Fondue Set: If you have never experienced fondue, it’s time to change that! This makes a fun date or girls’ night!
Melting Pot Cookbook: Speaking of fondue, the Melting Pot is one of my favorite restaurants. So if you are unsure of where to get started with your fondue journey, this has some great recipes to get you started.
Wipeable Table Cloths: Reusable table cloths with 2 different finish options: one that is wipeable and the other that is stain resistant and can be thrown in the washer. With some basic everyday patterns, these are great to have on had for every occasion!
Extra Virgin Olive Oil: If you are any kind of chef or baker, you know the importance of a good quality extra virgin olive oil, and this one is the best of the best!
Geometry Towels: Their tea towels are a staple in my kitchen. Great quality, super absorbent and fun designs!
Hobbies Gift Guide
Diamond Art: If you have never tried out diamond art, you are missing out. This is a super fun and relaxing way to pass the time.
Wax Seals: I saw these at an event and instantly became obsessed with them. So pretty and classy! Follow their instagram account and you’ll see what I mean @begoods.lettering.
Dowdle Puzzles: If you love puzzles, you will really love these. The designs are all fun. But I especially love that they are all busy enough that even when you get a bigger puzzle (like 500+), it is still relatively easy to do.
