HEALTH & BEAUTY
Herbal Face Food - this is the greatest face serum on the planet. It’s spendy but really works. “Our serums have been proven to reverse the 10 most visible signs of aging: wrinkles, large pores, dryness, redness, discoloration, loss of skin tone, firmness, smoothness, radiance, brightness as well as addressing chronic skin issues such as acne, eczema, rosacea, melasma, psoriasis.” I recommend starting with Serum 1 and The Cure (more spot treatment) and once you finish Serum I then graduate to Serum II (then Serum III). This promo code is only for your first order so stock up on your first order. It’s totally changed my skin. CLICK HERE - use code KrystenD20
Poopourri - It might be funny to give it, but trust me it’s a blessing to anyone’s bathroom because your poop doesn’t have to stink! (Read that again) If you don’t have this in your bathroom, then your bathrooms must smell really terrible. Spray Poo Pourri in the bowl before you go, and no one else will ever know! We love the holiday scents and stock up to use them all year long. I promise that you will never go #2 without it ever again.This is a great house warming gift, stocking stuffer or even silly gag gifts that everyone will laugh at and then envy! CLICK HERE.
Araza Beauty - I love this makeup because it’s made with great ingredients. I love their Coconut Cream Foundation. Their tagline is IF LOOKS COULD HEAL and I think that’s brilliant. I also love their makeup brushes, too. Makeup and skincare shouldn’t harm your health but enhance it and their products nourish and perform. Plus it’s all paleo, too. Wow.

BOOKS
She Does Keto & Seduced By Salmon - both books by Gigi Ashworth - I love Gigi and everything she does. Her books have amazing recipes, info on Keto and I've learned so much from her (and her books, too). She eats like 10 pounds of salmon a week and has great recipes. She's beyond hilarious, super honest & real and her books are a must! I adore her forever. CLICK HERE.
Devotional coloring book - as a busy mom of a toddler, somedays this is my devotional and I love that I get to spend a few minutes coloring and thinking about whichever verse or topic I’m reading. I might spend days or even a month on one page because I might only get to color for a few minutes but it’s become a calming activity with my morning coffee or nightly while my hubby does the dishes (yes, I’m a very lucky lady). CLICK HERE.
EAT REAL FOOD - I mean, I hear that the author is pretty dang cool. My first cookbook was published in 2020 and is filled with over 75 recipes that are compliant for gluten free, paleo, vegan, dairy free and Whole30! I’m so proud of this cookbook! CLICK HERE use code KRYSTEN20 at checkout.
Together For Christmas - This cookbook is more than just recipes... it's also filled with fun crafts, games, ideas, tips and a little bit of fun Christmas history, too. Everything is gluten free, lots of vegan recipes, mostly paleo, some low carb… really it’s for everyone! This book is really special to me and very personal and I’m so honored that so many of you are loving it. It came out Christmas of 2021. CLICK HERE. use code SANTA at checkout — almost sold out. Just a few copies left.
Celiac And The Beast by Erica Dermer - Yes! This book is on my holiday gift guide every single year because it's helped so many people, and Erica continues to help so many people in the food allergy community. I look up to her so much, and I love her advocacy for the gluten-free community. Her book is super informative - you will laugh, and you will cry. You will also feel like she's just sitting there having a conversation with you over coffee and gluten-free cupcakes. Love this book! CLICK HERE.
KITCHEN & HOUSE
Four Sigmatic - I’ve been drinking this coffee for over 6 years now and it truly is the best. It’s all organic, and every batch is tested in 3rd party labs for heavy metals, mycotoxins, mold, yeast and pesticides. Plus it has added mushrooms (that you can’t taste - it’s not like culinary portobello in your coffee) like lions mane, chaga, cordyceps and more for added benefits. I love pretty much everything that they make (protein powder, hot cacao etc) but my most favorite is the Focus Organic Coffee Latte and their Think Organic Creamer (Vanilla), too. Now’s a great time to stock up on your favs or get variety packs and gift sets. Plus their brand new supplement line is pretty amazing. They have one for Focus, Memory and for Calm. ORDER HERE use code KrystensKitchen at checkout
Stasher Bag - I can’t get enough of these reusable bags which are amazing for food storage (or a variety of other things, too). I use their littlest one for supplements if I’m out of the house or they’re bigger bags for large amounts of leftovers. I like to use them for snacks for my kiddo or even to put our phone and charging cords in them when we travel. They are great for makeup and beauty storage, too. Use them for school or work lunches or leftovers throughout the week. They have a wide range of sizes from small to super large. I use them daily and I love that it saves on plastic use. I do have some plastic bags on hand for when I run out of my Stasher Bags but rarely (if ever) reach for plastic! They are spendy but the money you’ll save in the long run is far greater plus they have a HUGE sale right now so now’s the time to stock up and start your collection. ORDER HERE.
Mini Frother - I use mine every single morning (and around 4pm hah) when I make my coffee. When I’m not home, I bring this little hand held magic milk frother with me. I have used it at the airport, at a coffee shop, on a plane and at a conference and it always gets the job done! I add collagen to my coffee, so this little frother really mixes it all well when I’m on-the-go! This one is super powerful and works wonders. Truly this is a great stocking stuffer or secret Santa gift. ORDER HERE.
Big Daddy Frother - (that’s not the official name, just what I call it. I think this will forever be on my gift guide because I truly use it every day to make the very best lattes. I promise this is a game changer for coffee loves. It has saved me so much money buying lattes, because I can make my own froth and it’s so easy to use. Even my toddler helps me by pressing the button to make mama’s morning coffee. ORDER HERE.
Hydro Flask - We use our hydro flasks every single day for water and even coffee, too! They have so many colors, shapes and sizes and even kid sizes. Our son has 2 now that we rotate for water. Whether you want to keep your water cold or your coffee hot Hydro Flask will have your back! And your beverage, too! Plus move over Stanley Cups… Hydro Flask has a great new option for you. The 40 oz All Around™ Travel Tumbler has a straw and a handle and fits in your cup holder too. ORDER HERE.
Beast Blender - I’m new to this blender but I have to say I’m beyond thrilled with it. I got it on sale at Costco and it’s been great for making smoothies with my little one or dips and dressings. It’s dishwasher safe (not the blade) and the deal that Costco has at the moment is unheard of. This would be a great gift for anyone and everyone. ORDER HERE.
Branch Basics - For all cleaning supples and laundry in our home we use Branch Basics. The starter kit is a great way to introduce your loved ones to cleaning with nontoxic products (or it’s great for YOU to buy yourself). Their Oxygen boost works wonders with stains and has been great for my son’s clothes and shoes, too. I can’t say enough good things about Branch Basics - it really works. With my link and code you can save money on your starter kit and don’t forget to order the travel set for your suitcase! ORDER HERE use code Krystenskitchen
Nakano Knives - I have a few of their knives and I have to say they are better than the rest of my knives (that we never use and get left in the drawer). I love their chef’s knife the most… It's my favorite knife and it's inexpensive, made really well and fits nicely into any stocking. The blade is made out of high quality steel used by top chefs around the world. The precise alloying of metal provides the blade with an impressive edge retention. Right now, if you use code KRYSTENSKITCHEN everything is 30% off! ORDER HERE.
LMNT - I really like LMNT’s electrolytes. My favorite flavors are: Chocolate Salt, Mint Chocolate, Chocolate Raspberry, Chocolate Caramel (all of those with hot water) and Orange Salt, Raspberry Salt and Grapefruit Salt with cold water. Lately, though, the hot flavors have been a favorite lately. Think of it like a salted hot chocolate, and with a splash of frothed almond milk. Oh my lanta! It tastes so gourmet! Try them with THIS LINK and if you order a box you get a free bonus sample pack. It’s a great way to try other flavors. We drink electrolytes everyday. They contain essential minerals that help with our body’s overall hydration and pH balance. I typically drink it in the afternoon or after I’ve been out in the sunshine running around chasing my kiddo. I travel with them, too. Remember that they can help with rehydration if you’ve had a sudden loss in fluids (diarrhea or vomiting) and are just great to keep on hand when you travel. ORDER HERE.
Evolved Chocolate - This is by far my favorite chocolate company ever. They make the best, organic chocolate and have a variety of bars, chocolate chips and cups too. This year, however, we have all made the NICE LIST because they have Advent Calendars (a keto/vegan one and a classic one). If you use the code SHIPME you can order it with free shipping. Also they have 20% off their line of bars right now. ORDER HERE.
AirDoctor - Clean air is one of the best gifts you can give yourself or your loved ones. This is the one we have in our home and we love it. AirDoctor’s UltraHEPA® filters capture the ultra-fine contaminants you can’t see like dust, pollen, mold spores, smoke, pet hair, and dander, bacteria and viruses. The HEPA standard requires that 99.97% of particles at 0.3 microns are captured. AirDoctor’s 3000 UltraHEPA® filter was independently tested and proven to remove at least 99.99% of particles as small as 0.003 microns—that’s 100 times smaller than the HEPA standard! Breathe easier with AirDoctor! ORDER HERE.

KIDS BOOKS:
Elf - Yes. This is the book based on the movie that we all know and love and it’s so cute. I’ve been reading it to my son all year long and it’s fun for the kids and adults, too. It’s very charming and if you love the movie then you’ll love this book for the holidays. ORDER HERE.
100 First Books - We have a few of these and recently got the 100 First Christmas one back in September to start teaching our toddler about Christmas so he can recognize different things that have to do with the holiday season. His favorite is “Whoah Whoah!” Aka Santa and can point out about 80% of these 100 words all about my favorite time of year. ORDER HERE.
Construction Site Series - We have read Goodnight Goodnight Construction Site every single night for over a year and I have the whole book memorized. It’s one of our favorites to read and they have a wonderful series of books. I highly recommend this series. ORDER HERE.
Escargot - One of the cutest (and funniest) book about a little French snail named Escargot and is journey to the the salad at the end of the book. I’ve been reading this book in a silly French accent to my son since he was about 5 months old and if his daddy or grandpa start reading it in their “so so” accents, my baby takes the book from them and brings it to me to read. I’m a funny mommy. I really love this book - it’s a gem! ORDER HERE.
Poke-A-Dot Books - This books series from Melissa & Doug is genius. They are big books (sort of heavy) but have dots on each page that your kit can poke or press (like a button) and it’s a great way for them to count, learn and stay engaged. They even have some smaller ones which are great for travel or for the car. ORDER HERE.
Larry The Christmas Caterpillar - This book is a heartwarming children's book that revolves around a special caterpillar found by a young boy just before Christmas. This extraordinary caterpillar, named Larry, embarks on an enchanting journey, hidden within the family's Christmas tree. As the family searches for their missing guest, they stumble upon a surprising discovery in the form of a shiny ornament nestled among the branches. Together, they share a sense of wonder and joy as they witness the amazing transformation of their newfound friend, which leads to the gospel message—told in child-friendly verse—making this a perfect resource for parents and teachers, at home, church and school. With captivating illustrations that capture the essence of Larry’s journey, this delightful book is perfect for families to share and learn about a new life in Christ. Also, that little boy is my cousin and my aunt is the author of this book. I’m so glad this book is finally out! ORDER HERE.
FOR THE MAMAS & MAMAS-TO-BE
Ina May's Guide to Childbirth - I can’t say enough good things about this book. This is what really helped me remove my fear around birth. I had the most amazing home birth and learned so much from this book. I recommend it to everyone who is having a baby (both men and women!) because you will really learn so much about your body and about birth itself. ORDER HERE.
Mom’s One Line A Day Journal - I bought this for myself right before I had my son. I write in it every single day and I love looking back at each day from the year before to see what milestones my son has reached, words he has said or memories we’ve created. This is a great gift for mamas to be or any mom friend you have no matter how old or young the kids are. ORDER HERE.
Souper Cubes - Meal prepping is super handy when you have kids and the best way to do that is by making extras and saving them in the freezer for later. Souper Cubes makes it easy to freeze in their containers and pop out to store in bags to save room in the freezer. Meal prepping reduces food waste, saves money, saves time and keeps you organized. I use mine all the time. ORDER HERE.
Mama Meals - This is the best gift you can give a new mom or any mom. Giving a mama food that is nourishing to their body (especially after birth) is healing on so many levels. The only thing mama should be focusing on is her baby and her own healing. There’s enough to do around the house without having to worry about meals. Growing a human is hard and takes a heavy toll on the body. With all the pressure, lack of sleep, and learning that comes with a new baby, most moms feel overwhelmed and forget they need to nourish themselves, heal, and replenish lost nutrients! At Mama Meals they understand that it takes a village, that's why they source the highest quality ingredients, cook them using ancestral principles from Chinese medicine, Ayurveda, and Weston A. Price, then deliver them frozen to your door. Simply heat, serve and enjoy. ORDER HERE use code krystenskitchen for a discount on your first order.https://mama-meals.com
