Thanksgiving is officially over, which means the holidays are upon us! I don’t know about you, but I’m definitely not one to spend Black Friday at the mall… I’d much rather enjoy my turkey & pie hangover from the couch while shopping online! If you’re putting together your holiday wish list or you’re looking for some inspiration for what to gift your mom, sister, or best friend, I’ve got you covered with my top 31 absolute favorite things. Some for the home, some for work, some for the bod, some for your glowing skin, and the rest for your every day life. These are all items that I own, love, and basically couldn’t live without! Happy shopping!

- Instant Pot – no surprise here! I use my instant pot every single week for everything from hard boiled eggs to perfectly cooked shredded chicken to spaghetti squash to soups! Don’t know what I did without it. I’d recommend the 6-quart size (which is on mega sale for Cyber Monday!).
- A cute reusable water bottle – something every girl needs but probably wouldn’t buy for herself. I love my Healthy Human and Corkcicle bottles – they come in a ton of cute colors and keep your water cold forever!
- Booty Bands – these are absolutely perfect for travel since you can just toss them in your bag and use them whenever/wherever for an awesome workout (they’re great for the booty but you can even work your arms with them too!)! The Tone it Up ones are super cute too.
- My go-to frother – if you watch my instagram stories, you’ve seen this little contraption in all her glory! I use it for hot chocolate, matcha, and golden milk lattes, and it heats the milk while it makes it nice and frothy at the same time. The best! Get it while it’s still on sale!
- Body Love by Kelly Leveque – the book that I recommend every one of my clients reads! Learn from Kelly how to live in balance, weigh what you want, and free yourself from food drama forever.
- Tower Garden – a dream for anyone who wants to grow their own greens, herbs, veggies, fruits, and even edible flowers. I have the ultimate black thumb (like can’t even keep succulents alive), and my Tower Garden is growing like crazy! All you need is some outdoor space (balconies and patios work great) and sunlight and this vertical garden will do all the work for you by watering itself every 15 minutes. Genius!
- A cute cheese board – so you can whip up awesome snack boards all year round! World Market has amazing ones at such great prices. Here’s the one I just bought myself for our Thanksgiving snack board – it’s huge and beautiful (and currently on sale)!
- Peloton Spin Bike – I’m obsessed with our Peloton! It’s definitely a splurge, but so worthwhile. It’s ideal when you only have 20 or 30 minutes to spare and you’re looking for a great workout. The classes are challenging and fun and the teachers are awesome! (Use my username “LindsaySpin” for $100 discount!)
- Notepads – I’m a sucker for a cute notepad! My faves are from Rifle Paper and Sugar Paper.
- Airpods – going wireless is lifechanging! A total must for my morning podcast walks with Penny.
- My favorite backpack ever – This Tumi backpack comes on every trip with me. It has a separate section for your laptop, lots of pockets and pouches for all your gear (and of course travel snacks), and it has gold zippers which I always love!
- Ice roller – the best $12 you’ll spend! Amazing for de-puffing the face. I like to use it first thing in the morning as a little wake-me-up and always feel refreshed after. Learn all about it here from one of my favorite lifestyle bloggers.
- What’s Gaby Cooking cookbook – the most droolworthy, gorgeous cookbook out there full of California-inspired recipes. Gaby’s recipes are always fresh, vibrant, beautiful, and no-fuss!
- Vitamix – the most-used and loved gadget in my kitchen. We received it as an engagement gift 5 years ago and have used it at least once a day since then!
- Thrive Market Membership – think Costco meets Whole Foods, but online. This is where I stock up on all of my healthy snacks, pantry items, sweets, and even wild seafood, meat, and clean wines (they seriously have everything and the discounts are amazing!). Click here to try a free month plus 25% off the first order.
- Lily Lolo mascara – the best all-natural mascara I’ve found! I like it even more than my old tried-and-true Lancome one.
- Hu Kitchen Chocolate – I swear, if someone just gave me a stack of this chocolate, it would be the best holiday gift I could ask for. Made with simple, real ingredients and my favorite way to cure my nightly sweets cravings! Try the Cashew Butter & Vanilla Bean flavor if you’ve never had it!
- Body Unburdened Beauty Blend face oils – remember my post all about natural skincare for the new girl where I interviewed the guru of glowing skin, Nadia Neumann? Well, she came out with her own line of face oils and her Beauty Blend No. 1 is by far my favorite face oil I’ve ever tried – and I’ve tried them ALL! They’re all handmade with only the best, all-natural ingredients.
- Rose gold APLs – because every girl deserves some amazing sneaks! And they’re equally as comfy as they are cute!
- Glass straws – Gotta love a good reusable straw for your morning smoothies. I love these glass ones because you can easily see when they’re clean (as opposed to the stainless steel ones!).
- The cutest leashes for the pups in your life – when it comes to dog leashes, you won’t find anything cuter than the ones from Frenchie Bulldog. I’m obsessed with their prints and colors, and if you have a smaller dog, check out their hoodies and harnesses, too!
- Goop Instant Exfoliating Facial – my obsession with this mask started with a sample-size, and once I wiped out every last drop of it, I had to order it again. It seriously is an instant facial – within 3 minutes, your skin will feel noticeably smoother and softer!
- Smeg Toaster – gotta love a cute retro-style toaster. These come in a ton of colors and add a fun pop to the kitchen!
- Customized mug – it doesn’t get much more thoughtful than a customized gift. I got this mug with a picture of Penny and I on it as a birthday gift and it’s one of my absolute favorite gifts ever!
- Calendar / life planner – Even though I use my iPhone calendar for everything, I really love having a handwritten calendar as well. I’m obsessed with my Erin Condren life planner – it’s a kind of like a calendar and journal in one, plus you can personalize it with a name on the front for a super thoughtful gift!
- Anything and everything from RMS beauty – it’s an all-natural beauty line that makes amazing makeup. I love their highlighter and lip2cheek products!
- Apple TV – a must for all the tv binge-watching we should all be doing! 🙂
- The best milk jug – I use this every time I make homemade almond or cashew milk. It’s cute and easy to clean too!
- Glow by Nadia Neumann – the nutritional approach to naturally glowing skin, yes please. Also, see #18!
- Garrett Leight Vienna sunglasses – my absolute favorite sunglasses that I wear every day!
- A good chef’s knife – a MUST for every cook!
