Ultimate Holiday Gift Guide (2024)

for the toddlers, mamas, kitchen lovers and a few options for the dad, too

It’s the most wonderful time of the year but it’s also stressful and if you’re a mama of little ones then I’m sure you can relate to feeling overwhelmed by everything at the moment. There are so many sales going on right now and along with feeling the gravitational pull to do every single holiday activity under the sun from holiday carnivals to seeing Christmas lights around town, meeting Santa, family parties, tree lightings etc. all while doing all the cooking, baking and present buying for everyone. I want to take some of that pressure off of you and share some of my favorites in different categories. Obviously husbands and men in general are tough to shop for. I even have some ideas for the men in your life.

TODDLERS - We love books so much and I have some of our favorite books on this list for you. Also, we bought this USA puzzle for our 2 year old and within a few weeks he knew all of the states and where they go on the map. Our Tonie Box has been a gift that keeps on giving - he loves listening to the stories from all his little Tonie characters (which make great stocking stuffers, too). He will sit there and play while listening to the story of the Incredibles or Toy Story for hours while he plays and build trains or blocks. So much of the rest is pretty self explanatory. Much of the list is great for boys or girls, too.

- USA puzzle - We have two different ones, here’s the second puzzle. We love them both.
- Tonie box - This is a fabulous gift! I highly recommend you read the track list on each tonie character before you buy them.
- Bubble machine - good old fashioned fun! We love ours and use it year round in the backyard! I like to buy these non-toxic bubbles, too.

Toddler Stocking Stuffers
- Remote - This is great for the car or even just to have around the house. I like that it also teaches them to count in Spanish and French, too.
- Monster Trucks - We got these as a gift and they quickly became our son’s favorite cars because they go fast! Highly recommend.
- Klean Kanteen - Toddlers need water bottles these days.. we love this brand the most!
- Paint sticks - Great for art projects and coloring because they dry fast and they aren’t messy.

FOR HER - here are some good stocking stuffers for your mama friends, sisters, aunts, the grandmothers and any of the women in your life in general

- Mom’s One Line A Day Journal - I cherish mine!
- Tamanu Oil - there is nothing more moisturizing and a little goes a long way! Great for face and hands.
- Mirror phone holder - I love this for when I’m getting ready for the day or for bed at night. Great way to be able to watch a show on my phone while I’m doing my hair or makeup.
- Dr Lipp - so great for keeping your lips soft!
- Meaningful Mantra Candles - super nontoxic candles that smell amazing and are made with essential oils and natural fragrance options.
- Candle Warmer - no more burning candles! Go with a candle warmer instead! Use your favorite candles and let the warmer do the work.
- Klean Kanteen - The best line of stainless steel water bottles, cups, mugs etc. We have many and use them daily.
- Mama Bracelet - I love Cleobella and their amazing line of clothing and accessories. Highly recommend!
- GoldSheep Leggings - of course I love the Vintage Santa pair but I have so many and love how fun they are. Great mama owned biz, too.

BEAUTY - two favorite beauty products to share with you. One is from Herbal Face Food which is honestly my favorite because it actually works. It’s expensive but really works and each ingredient in their formulas is wild-harvested from remote, pristine locations across the globe as they truly want to ensure the highest quality and the highest potency. They never heat or alter the plants in any way, to preserve the full spectrum of beneficial properties that deliver powerful, active botanicals directly to the skin.Herbal face food. I also am loving this lip oil collection from RMS. They sent one to me and I bought another shade because it’s really great, not sticky and I get a lot of compliments when I wear it.
- Herbal Face Food - use code KRYSTEND20 at checkout
- RMS Beauty Lip Oil - they have great shades to choose from!

KITCHEN - I have and love so many kitchen things but lately here are my favorites. I use these daily for one thing or another and can’t recommend them enough.

- Stasher Bag - we have so many and use them for leftovers, snack time, lunches, the freezer etc. Can’t live without them
- Stainless Steel Vitamix - This is such a must have! Toss your plastic blender and make the swap to the stainless steel container.
- Frother - I love mine and use it every single day! It makes the best frothed milk for my lattes.
- Weck Jars - great for leftovers or even your sourdough starter.
- Souper Cubes - can’t live without them. They are the best for meal prepping and leftovers and great gifts!
- Waffle Maker - non toxic waffle maker which is works great. We love ours.
- Sweet Laurel x Cleobella collab apron, pot holder and oven mit - so girly and perfect + very well made

FOR HIM - Most of my mom friends will agree that shopping for their husbands is pretty tough. The obvious gifts are sentimental ones like framed photos of the kiddos or something like that but I found a gift for my husband that is really for me because it helps him with his “honey-do” list. And the other keeps him hydrated so both are really great options.
- Blower - Fun to use (you know how men like to tinker with tools around the house) and very effective on cleaning the porch, backyard, front patio, or driveway - you name it!
- Klean Kanteen - The best line of stainless steel water bottles, cups, mugs etc. We have many and use them daily.

WELLNESS - Great options for the family or for you loved ones!
- Aquatru - We have the under the sink model and love it. The countertop version is so great, too. Best tasting water out there!
- Air Doctor - Clean air is so important! We love having one in each bedroom to make sure our air quality is the highest quality!
- Desk Treadmill - I love mine and use it all the time while working on the computer. They always have a good sale, too.
