As we all know, the holiday season can get a little hectic. With holiday events, shopping decorating, and more, it’s easy to forget things here and there. This year, I’m getting prepared by having a few different gifts on hand that work for anyone if I need something in a hurry. A gift for your child’s teacher? Check! A gift for a party host? Check! A gift for your mailman? Check! No last-minute scrambling here! In today’s post, I’m sharing my go-to gifts to have on hand for anyone in your life.

Gifts for the Host

Having gifts at the ready for your party or holiday hosts is a must! I love to bring over home items that are functional and/or pretty. Something to help them relax is always nice, too! Check out all of my favorites in the collage above.

More Go-To Gifts

Starbucks Gift Card

Might be an obvious choice, but a total lifesaver! Pretty much everyone drinks Starbucks so you can’t go wrong with a festive gift card for a cup of coffee. I like going to Starbucks, stocking up on a few gift cards, and having them ready to go for the season. If I don’t use them all, they’re always a fun stocking stuffer gift to add for my friends and family. I also like getting a pack of blank holiday cards like these I can use for anyone to add the gift card to. Check out more of the cards I’m eyeing for the season below!

Bottle of Wine

Bringing over a bottle of wine is always a good idea! Of course, choosing the wine is up to you, but I always love to bring it over in a holiday wine bag. It just gives the gift a little extra festive touch and feels more thoughtful. See some of my favorites below!

Aromatherapy Pillow

This gift would be great for a teacher or co-worker who wants to unwind and let off a little stress. I love aromatherapy pillows since they are pretty inexpensive but are so appreciated and used! You can easily use them hot or cold and there are a few different scents you can choose from for total relaxation. Add a face mask for the ultimate self-care package!

Festive Candle

Who doesn’t love getting a holiday candle? Candles are a simple and easy gift that you can virtually purchase anywhere that anyone would be happy to receive. Sometimes I’ll purchase several small candles and cluster them together in a group of 3 for a gift, instead of one large candle. The sky’s the limit!
