The Ultimate Gift Guide For the Person Who Has Everything

HolidayKids
Written By Jennifer Johnson

Let me start by saying that I'm a big believer in intentional holiday shopping—gifting things that are meaningful, practical, and free from adding unnecessary clutter to our homes. Experiences over things, always! But sometimes, there’s something special about pairing an experience gift with a tangible item—something that can be unwrapped and enjoyed in the moment, yet still spark lasting memories later on. So, I present to you our 2024 Holiday Gift Guide, a labor of love that carefully balances thoughtful giving with the desire to avoid clutter, all while emphasizing the value of experiences. Let’s dive in!

 
 

Friends

  • L’AVANT Collective Dish and Hand Soap Duo - If you’ve been following along for any length of time, you know how much I love L’AVANT products. This would also make for a great hostess or Secret Santa gift!

  • Allix Candles - They burn the Heure du Thé Ballon scent at The Post Hotel in Leavenworth, Washington, and it is heavenly!

  • Hinza Tote - Perfect for groceries, storage, or a trip to the beach!

  • Their favorite bottle of wine or champagne

 
 

Spouse

  • If your husband is always misplacing their things, you can never go wrong with a pack of Apple AirTags.

  • These Date Night Conversation Starters are a must for your next date night. Bring them to dinner and pick out a couple of cards to talk through!

  • Slim Leather Wallet - This wallet holds everything your husband needs without being bulky. Plus, it comes in a ton of colors!

  • Make any outlet voice control and smart phone-friendly with an Amazon Smart Plug!

  • Gift your spouse a world-class online learning experience with a Masterclass Subscription. Masterclass has over 200 video lessons in business & leadership, cooking, photography, sports, and more!

  • A round of golf at their favorite local course

  • Sporting event or concert tickets

 
 

Kids

  • Customized Story Book - This would be a great gift for a special kiddo in your life or a friend who is expecting a baby!

  • Kids Cookbook - Pair it with an apron or baking tools to create the ultimate gift for the little baker in your life!

  • Painting Kit - Quality watercolors are a game-changing experience! Trust me!

  • Keva Blocks are the perfect open-ended activity for kids - they can use them creatively for years!

  • Fun Slippers shaped like their favorite animal

  • Kids podcast/audiobook subscriptions

  • Movie tickets

  • Lessons or activities (Topgolf, paintball, laser tag, escape room, etc.)

  • A visit (or annual pass) to the zoo, aquarium, or museum

 
 

Teen Girl

  • If you have a teen girl, chances are a Lululemon Belt Bag is already on her wish list!

  • A Barefoot Dreams Blanket is the perfect gift for your teen who loves to enjoy a cozy night in. This would also make for a great hostess gift!

  • A Walli Phone Case does it all! It has a finger loop that can be used with either hand, an adjustable kickstand, and a wallet pouch for their drivers license and credit card - I am obsessed with these cases!

  • Is there a teenager out there who doesn’t have a Stanley Cup??

  • Concert tickets

  • Coffee gift cards

  • App subscriptions

 
 

Teen Boy

  • Crocs are all the rage amongst teen boys right now—all of my son’s friends are obsessed!

  • Include a pair of these Bombas Socks with the Crocs for the ultimate gift!

  • Beats Wireless Headphones are the perfect gift for your tech-loving teen! Plus, they’re compatible with both Apple AND Android!

  • Concert tickets paired with their favorite band t-shirt

  • Sporting event tickets

 
 

Parents

Food Storage

My parents can’t be the only ones with a drawer full of plastic, mismatched Tupperware containers. Gifting them a set of eco-friendly food storage is a great way to elevate items that they already use every day!

Gardening:

  • If your parents love to garden but don’t have a lot of outdoor space, this Hydroponic Indoor Garden can be used to grow their favorite things right inside their home!

  • This Herb Garden comes with everything you need to grow 8 pots of fresh herbs (this would be another great hostess or white elephant gift!).

  • An Outdoor Hanging Habitat is perfect for those who would love to make a home for bees, butterflies, or ladybugs.

Consumable Gifts:

  • Assortment of coffee or tea

  • Chocolate sampler

  • Snack Subscription Services such as Universal Yums

 
 

Grandparents

Bird Watching + Feeding (Experience and Item in One!)

 
 

Experiences

Above all, I believe the best gifts are ones that prioritize the magic of experience, memories, and connection. Here are a few of my favorite experiences to gift:

  • A voucher to take a class (cooking, painting, pottery, yoga, etc.)

  • An annual pass to the National Parks

  • Gift card to Airbnb or a favorite hotel

  • Restaurant gift card

  • Gift card to a spa or salon
