My Most-Loved Items of the Year (Gift Guide Edition)
Every year I put together a list of the items I truly used and loved the most. These are the things that made my everyday life easier, calmer, or simply more enjoyable. I think of this list as a practical little gift guide for busy women and moms who want recommendations they can count on. Nothing trendy or overhyped, just the products that earned a permanent spot in my routine and helped lighten my mental load in small but meaningful ways.

My Most-Loved Items of the Year
Beauty & Skincare Favorites
Nécessaire The Body Wash Eucalyptus
Clean, refreshing, and beautifully scented. This body wash turns a regular shower into something a little nicer and feels gentle on my skin. I feel like I'm at the spa when I use this!
OSEA Undaria Body Bestsellers Set
These products feel fresh, hydrating, and luxurious without being heavy. The scent is clean and subtle and makes everyday skincare feel a little more special.
Biodance Bio Collagen Real Deep Mask
This mask leaves my skin feeling hydrated and refreshed. It’s the one I use when I want a little relaxation or when my face needs a little extra attention after a long week.
These pads give my skin a clean and refreshed feel without being harsh. They are great after workouts or on days when my skin needs a little reset. I like that they are gentle while still feeling effective.
Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask Set (Bonus idea!)
Hydrating, softening, and a nightly favorite. The set also makes a great gift because the smaller sizes are perfect for bags or travel.
Hooga Pro300 Red Light Therapy Device
(Bonus idea!)
This has been a calming addition to my evenings. The light feels soothing and gives my skin a healthy, refreshed look with consistent use. It is easy to use and a nice way to wind down at the end of the day.
Cozy Pajamas & Sleepwear
Eberjey Gisele Modal Long PJ Set
These pajamas feel soft, smooth, and lightweight in the best way. They wash beautifully and are the pair I reach for on nights when I want to feel cozy and put together.
Nodpod Gentle Pressure Sleep Mask
The gentle weight of this mask feels relaxing and helps block light without feeling tight. It’s also great for travel.
Books & Coffee Table Gifts
American Cowboys by Anouk Masson Krantz
A striking coffee table book with gorgeous photography. It adds personality to a space and makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves Western style or art.
Coastal Blues by Phoebe Howard
A beautiful interior design book filled with bright, coastal spaces. I love flipping through it for inspiration and calm color palettes.
Haircare Tools & Accessories
Kitsch Satin Pillowcase
Soft, smooth, and cooling. This pillowcase helps keep my hair in good shape overnight and feels like a small upgrade that’s absolutely worth it.
Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer
I wanted for years to pull the trigger on this, but I'm so glad I did! I have a lot of hair and this dries my hair quickly and leaves it feeling soft, not frizzy, which is why it’s become my go-to dryer.
Kitsch XL Microfiber Hair Towel Wrap
Microfiber towels help prevent breakage, keeps frizz at bay, and dries my hair quicker than a regular bath towel. I also like how lightweight it is and keeps my hair secure. This gets used multiple times a week!
XL Big Silk Scrunchies (Bonus idea!)
Soft, stylish scrunchies that don't make a crease in my hair. I love these for sleeping!
Wellness & Self Care
Clevr Blends Matcha SuperLatte
An easy, creamy matcha mix that tastes great and gives steady energy. I love it for days when I want something warm but not coffee.
Simplified Linen Journal
I love how classic and pretty this journal looks. It’s a simple space for notes, lists, or reflections and brings a bit of order to my week without any fuss.
Wardrobe Essentials
Madewell Black Belt
A simple, versatile wardrobe staple. It pairs well with jeans and casual outfits and always looks polished.
Gola Hawk Women's Sneakers
These sneakers were super comfortable during a two week trip to Europe! I logged a lot of miles on these and never got a blister. Instantly became a solid addition to my shoe rotation.
"Ophelia" Embroidered Sweatshirt by Teal Sundaze
I designed this sweatshirt after Taylor's super catchy song came out. It features 4 embroidered icons representing 100, the land, the sea, the sky. Great for music fans!
"No Grit No Pearl" Embroidered Trucker Hat by Teal Sundaze (Bonus idea!)
This embroidered "No Grit No Pearl" hat is the perfect reminder that the best things take time. It's great to throw on when running errands or on a sunny walk.
Tech & Everyday Essentials
Portable Charger (Bonus idea!)
A reliable portable charger with built-in cables for all types of charging needs. It’s compact, easy to toss into any bag, and great for busy days or travel.
Micro Stitch Tag Gun for Clothes (Bonus idea!)
This little tool is great for quick fixes and small clothing repairs. It’s convenient to have on hand for things I want to fix quickly instead of letting them pile up. I also pack this when traveling in case of a potential wardrobe malfunction. One of my favorite clothing hacks!
Mesh Laundry Bags (Bonus idea!)
I use these laundry bags constantly for sweaters, bras, swimsuits, and anything that is a bit more delicate.
Horrible Therapist: Extra Horrible Edition (Bonus idea!)
This is such a fun game that causes a ton of laughter! Great to have on hand for (adult) game nights.
