It’s that time of year where Oprah, all my favorite websites, and even my friend Donna are releasing lists of their favorite things. I thought I’d give you guys a list of fun things that I’m loving this year.
Fun last-minute gift ideas, stocking stuffers, or just something extra to pick up for yourself as you’re out doing your holiday shopping… no judgment here.
Also… full disclosure: These aren’t paid links or sponsored items. Just some things I love…
SOMA WATER BOTTLES
Ok, I love this water bottle. I’d been using the same ol’ Camelback bottles for years and years… and they were starting to look pretty rough. Add to that, that I can be a little forgetful when I’m on the road (leaving them in Ubers and on planes). With that, I needed some new water bottles and decided to upgrade. When I spotted this pretty pretty bottle on Instagram, I knew that I’d found my new to-go container.
It’s glass, with a lovely cover and a wooden lid, and they make drinking my favorite beverage fashionable again! I have the mint one and a charcoal one, and the white one is on my Christmas list, I love them that much!
FUN ORNAMENTS
I love decorating my tree and finding ornaments that my friends have given me over the years. Whether it’s the brussels sprout from Tiffany last year or the martini glass Jaede gave me a few years back, I love remembering where all of the cute, colorful pieces came from.
This year, I added a Montelucia bulb to my tree and a picture ornament commemorating my Kohl’s adventure last year. Great memories…
Sur La Table, Pier One, and Amazon have tons of them, and you can even find cute ones at Target. If anyone spots that beet ornament for my tree, let me know. I need it!
HEADSPACE
It’ll be no surprise for me to tell you that I’m obsessed with Headspace. It’s a meditation app, and has truly transformed my practice this year! It’s meditation made simple!
Headspace offers gift cards, so you can pop them into stockings… The perfect gift! And, they have a package around the holidays that includes meditation + chocolate! Yum!
THIRD LOVE BRAS
With all the upcoming holiday parties and outings, making sure your silhouette is stunning (and comfortable!) is important! When I had an underwire pop out on my favorite bra, I took a chance on ThirdLove and have fallen in LOVE their bras. I’m now the owner of two of their beautiful bras, replacing their worn out predecessors.

MY SPIRALIZER
I’ve been using my spiralizer SO MUCH lately! I add spiralized onions and peppers to so many of my Jenny Craig dishes, and I really can’t get enough of them!! I have the Paderno spiralizer… but when this one wears out, I’m definitely getting the Inspiralizer. It just seems easier to clean, use, everything!
ELIN HILDERBRAND’S WINTER TRILOGY
I don’t know about you, but around the holidays, I love to curl up on the couch in leggings, slippers, and a cozy blanket… and watch holiday movies, read, and knit. It isn’t the holidays until this happens.
Well… my favorite author has a winter trilogy that you have to read! The first one is Winter Street. Start there, and then next you’ll need Winter Stroll and Winter Storms.
Winter Storms just came out this fall, and my friend Melissa went to Nantucket and MET Elin! She sent me this signed copy. OMG!
PRETTY RED POLISH
What’s more festive this holiday season than a pretty red polish? I found this gorgeous hue at the nail shop this week and it’s on my toes. It’s OPI’s Amore at the Grand Canal.
I was going to go with my standard dark toe color, but my neighboring pedicure chair had a lady getting this color. Yep, I’m a total copycat!
CHOKERS
I am OBSESSED with choker necklaces. There are so many cute ones out there, and they go with everything. Very festive for the holiday season, I’ve seen some of my favorite celebs wearing them lately too!
This kind that wraps multiple times around your neck is one of my faves. Incredibly versatile, and so on trend!
CHRISTMAS MUSIC
‘Tis the season, after all… and, I’m guessing you know my fave, but just in case, I’ll remind you.
And… I’m going to see her LIVE on Friday! So so excited!
What are your favorites this holiday season?
