Last Updated on December 6, 2024
Rather than posting individual holiday gift guides for her or him, this year, I decided to create the ultimate holiday gift guide for 2021. Basically, all the best gift ideas you need are in one spot. I’ve got ya covered if you’re the Secret Santa for the impossible man, the woman who has everything, or the quirky, eccentric person. If you’re still looking for gift-giving ideas, check out last year’s holiday gift guides: Ideas For Him, Gift Ideas For Her, Self Care Gift Ideas, and Gifts For The Bougie AF
Gift Guide – Best Gift Ideas For Her
RELATED: Check out all the unique gift guides on the blog!
Feels Like Home by Lauren Liess – this beautiful home decor book is an easy gift idea for her. This book was recently released and is the perfect holiday gift for the impossible woman that loves home decor and interiors.
6-Wick Candle – this candle is the perfect addition to any coffee table. I love the hammered, rustic look and it’s an 18-hour burn to boot.
Luxe Alpaca Throw – this luxury throw might be the prettiest blanket I own. Although it is on the pricier side, it’s perfect if you have that impossible to buy for the woman in your life.
Comfy Cashmere Sweater – if you’re looking for an unusual gift for her, check out the “this ain’t no disco” cashmere sweatshirt. There’s also an option to customize the embroidery with her favorite saying. This comfy sweatshirt is the best gift idea for the impossible woman, but be sure to leave yourself about 2 weeks for this custom-designed option.
Wool Bouclé Tweed Baseball Cap – before I get into more affordable holiday gift ideas, I’m gonna drop in this luxury baseball cap. It’s an easy Christmas gift your girlfriend will love on bad hair days.
Checkered Trench Coat – this coat just dropped and is legit almost sold out. I pre-ordered mine and it just arrived. The only thing I don’t love is that for the price it really should be lined, but besides that, it’s pure perfection and a favorite of mine.
Unique Perfume – this perfume is my go-to scent and the perfect holiday gift idea if she has allergies to fragrances. It’s a mix of citrus and amber that evokes an earthy, enchanting, beautiful scent. If you’re unsure about which perfume to buy, try the sample set to try the full collection.
Affordable Black Bag – all the fashion bloggers are going gaga over this affordable purse. The woven detail gives it a Bottega Veneta look. This is a great gift idea for her under $50.
Diffuser – the Bois de Balicourt diffuser is a beautiful scent for any room.

Best Gift Ideas For Him Gift Guide
Traeger Smoker – this is the ultimate gift idea for him if you’re willing to throw down a grand on your boy. The wood-pellets will give him the perfect wood-fire taste and keep him entertained in the backyard all summer long. The Boy gives his stamp of approval on this smoker for all the meats.
Comfy Sweatpants – these fleece pants are The Boy’s go-to comfy pants. He lives in them every evening.
Filson Backpack – the name brand says it all although The Boy is irritated that it’s trending. He’s a hunter and Filson is top-of-the-line quality when it comes to his killin’ britches. Another favorite in waterfowl hunting gear is his Sitka waders.
Mug and Warmer Set – this is a great Christmas gift idea for your boyfriend or husband if he sits in meetings all day. His coffee will stay warm for the duration of his conference call.
Bluetooth Speaker – is your impossible man into music? Grab this Marshall Bluetooth speaker. It has that vintage rocker look and sounds great indoors and outdoors.
Grooming – you know those samples beauty stores throw in your bag? Well, I got this face buff and popped it in the shower for The Boy. He’s obsessed! If your boy doesn’t own Jack Black, this gift set is an affordable gift for him under $50.
Massager – this percussive therapy massager is a great gift idea for him that is also for you…just don’t tell him that. It’s perfect for reducing muscle pain and fades the stress of the holidays away.
Cologne – this unisex scent is another gift that keeps on giving. It’s not only a lovely fragrance for him but also for her. I grant you permission to sneak a spritz or two.
Square Ice Cubes – These extra-large square ice cubes Make for a great holiday gift for the man who loves whiskey (and women too). Perfectly pair this ice cube mold with a bottle of Basil Hayden 10 year bourbon.

It’s also the most affordable option – be sure to click the $150 off coupon if it’s available.
Nugget Ice Machine – I’ll be the first to admit that this nugget ice machine is the silliest thing I’ve ever spent money on, but I freakin’ love it, so it made the list.

You’ve been warned about its quirks.
Pizza Oven – our neighbor got us hooked on this pizza oven, and since it arrived, we use it every week. Best pizza ever (and I live in Chicago, so that’s sayin’ something). It burns on wood pellets, and you use it outside but store it inside after it cools. Prime members get $79 off.
TV That Looks Like Art – I’ve raved about The Frame TV for years, and it continues to be my favorite TV. When it’s not in use, it transforms into wall art.

Bonfire Fire Pit – perfect gift idea for anyone who likes standing by a campfire but hates the smoke. This is also a portable fire pit, so you can move it from the backyard to the driveway for outdoor gatherings.
