Meaningful Gift Ideas You Haven’t Seen Everywhere

I know you’ve probably got an inbox and a feed full of gift guides, so it’s my hope that I can offer you some things that are less typical, more meaningful, and things you haven’t otherwise thought of or been shown. Let's go!

Shop Lindsay's Gift Guide

Mugs | Sweet Water Decor

The ceramic mugs from Sweet Water Decor are my favorite. They are the perfect size, and I love the raw bottom. This one is simple & sweet, but there are lots of good options.

Farmhouse Candle | Sweet Water Decor

Farmhouse is my number one favorite candle of all time. If you’re looking for something wintry though, The Warm & Cozy scent is a quintessential christmas smell, and it’s light and not overpowering.

LED Candle | Sandstone & Sage

This LED candle is HUGE – it’s such a fun gift, and the flicker makes it feel real. Here’s the amber version, but there’s white as well.

SHOP NOW
Gemstone Earrings | Oh Clementine

Huggies are my favorite type of earrings because they are so comfortable and wearable. The gemstone ones are on my wishlist!

SHOP NOW
Kitchen Lamp | Boutique Rugs

Everyone needs a little kitchen lamp! Must gift with “kitchen lamp” on the note!

Safety Matches | Sweet Water Decor

The perfect addition to a candle gift! I like these white tip ones, but they also come in multicolor!

My Best Tip for Gifting Art

If you’re not sure what to gift, I think a framed 11x14 canvas is the sweetest gift. If you purchase them framed, they can stand up anywhere – on a bookshelf or a ledge, which I think makes them the perfect gift. I love this Bethlehem Flower Canvas for a meaningful gift! Otherwise, just pick something meaningful to you! I promise that receiving art from someone who loved that same piece is such a meaningful gift.

Gifts I Bet You Haven't Thought Of


Acupressure Mat

If you have someone in your life that loves wellness, this is THE GIFT! I am not joking when I say that this acupressure mat changed my life. I’ve tried several and this is my favorite, and I’ve given several as gifts. I’ll share more about my health journey another time, but for now, I can’t recommend this enough. If you have someone in your life that likes wellness and doesn’t have one, this is my best gift recommendation and $99!

SHOP NOW
Brick

It’s a device that locks whatever apps you want to lock on your phone. So for example for me, I check instagram for LL, but it can become a habit accidentally. So when i want to focus on my family, or on a work project, without being tempted to open it up and mindlessly scroll, I brick my phone and it is SUCH a blessing. And then, I’m not singing in and out of and deleting apps. (You can use one brick for multiple phones, too). 

SHOP NOW
Lavender Stress Pillow

A lavender stress pillow would be the perfect thing after the bustle of the holidays.

SHOP NOW
Tabletop Game

This marble solitaire-type game is beautiful!

SHOP NOW
Eye Patches

Maybe the most basic thing on this list, but all eye patches are not created equal! I really do not love the thin, slimy ones, which I think most are. BUT! These eye patches are the absolute best – so thick and feel so nice on!: We use the gold ones in the morning and the lavender ones at night, but I’m getting Eva the white diamond ones for Christmas.

SHOP NOW
Electric Fireplace

We have several portable electric fireplaces and we love them! They are kind of kitschy, but also nostalgic and cozy! In my humble opinion, the ones that have crackling sounds sound kind of like static. So I would skip that. Just use a YouTube video with fireplace sounds for extra ambiance.

SHOP NOW
Crazy Aaron's Thinking Puddy

We have lots of Crazy Arron’s thinking puddy at home, and you might be surprised how many adults pick it up and subconsciously play with it. There are lots of kinds, but I’m adding this heat-sensitive one to Phoenix’s collection this holiday.

SHOP NOW
DIY Dirty Soda Station

I have these to-go cups at my house and everybody loves them, especially the teens and kids! Add some syrups for them to make their own dirty soda bar at home! So fun.

SHOP CUPS
SHOP SYRUPS
World's Best Sweatshirt

Don’t forget my favorite hoodie!! Wash it first before you gift it so it fluffs up. I love the blue one.

SHOP NOW
Milk Frother

Round out your dirty soda station or gift to a coffee-loving gal! I purchased this multiple times as gifts, it’s a reliable one and comes with batteries. I love it for frosting syrup with heavy whipping cream to make a cold foam cap!
