6 Women Told Us Their Go-To Gifts They Always Give For The Holidays

Pssst…come peak inside the packages under the Candidly tree.

 
 

by The Candidly Team

The only thing better than a peak behind the curtain is a peak inside a present.

It’s why we get stuck watching all those mindless unboxing videos, sound on for maximum crisp, papery crunch noises.

The little kid inside us just can’t resist the urge to witness the reveal of what’s inside the box. While the adult woman inside us has learned a thing or two about exactly what to put inside that box if we want to make the person opening it have their own giddy, little-kid reaction.

That said, here’s what 6 women from our team, who spend waaaay too much time scouring the internet for the things most likely to bring perpetual joy, are gifting this year.

If you happen to know any of us, we’re also open to receiving them.

 

Sam, Social Media Manager

 
 
 

Ceramic Chubby Coffee Mug

It’s just so chic and weird and cute. 

 

Mejuri Letter Necklace

This necklace is a great go-to for women you love a LOT. 

 
 
 

Pantone Art Postcard Box

Audie, our editor-in-chief, got me this a couple years ago and I now gift them to everyone I know. I give her credit of course.

 

Apple AirTag

My forever secret Santa gift.

 
 
 

Ninja NC301 CREAMi Ice Cream Maker

I honestly just want this so badly. It’s all the rage on TikTok for “healthy” ice cream/gelato.

 
 

 
 

Audie, Editor-in-Chief

 
 
 

Clare V. Set Of 4 Coasters

I like to give a little something from Clare V depending on what cute little curio they have that year because it’s a real squeal-worthy brand. This year it’s these coasters.

 

Cozy Earth Ribbed Terry Bath Towels

I also like to give these insanely plush towels because I think most people’s towels are scratchy and threadbare, and they usually will just buy some random towel from Target to replace them. But the ribbed towels from Cozy Earth are honestly the most delicious towels I’ve ever used, and they completely transform your daily ablution experience. And I love being the reason for that joy.

Reimagine Discovery Melted Disco Ball

I’m also giving everyone I know this $50 melted disco ball this year because A. It’s bonkers and something no one would ever think to buy for themselves and B. look what it does to your kitchen:

 
 

 
 

Danna, CEO

 
 
 

Barefoot Dreams CozyChic Ribbed Throw

I give everyone I know THIS cozy throw. I make sure it’s in that neutral color, so it goes with anyone’s decor. It’s the softest material on earth and they’ll have it forever. I’ve had mine for so long and I just throw it in the washer and it’s still just as soft as the day I got it.

 

 
 

Shae, Marketing Manager 

 
 
 

Fellow Stagg EKG Electric Kettle

The only kettle for true coffee lovers.

 

Onyx Coffee

And of course, the coffee itself, which will immediately become their new favorite.

 
 
 

Carhartt Tonal Patch Beanie

This is great if your husband wears entirely too much Carhartt and you want to meet him where he is, but you also want him to be chic.

 

Dan Henry 1962 Racing Chronograph

Really balances out the carharttness. 

 
 
 

She’s Birdie Personal Safety Alarm

Perfect for someone who loves to travel. 

 
 

 
 

Leslie, General Manager

 
 
 

Marie Veronique Rejuvenating Night Oil / Extra Healing

For anyone who’s a beauty hound and loves things that are unique but really work. Incredible for winter gifting, because I feel like we’re all so parched this time of year. It’s done wonders for my dry skin.

 

Naked Cashmere Jones Cashmere Scarf

For all my girlfriends who are always cold. Aka all women. 

 
 
 

Buck Mason Melton Admiral Peacoat

I feel like husbands and dads are so hard to shop for. This is a big swing and splurge but it’s always worked out for me.

 
 

 
 

Carolyn, Managing Editor

 
 
 

Material The Salt Sphere

For anyone in your life who’s the slightest bit chefy, having “the good salt” at the ready in this pretty little sphere makes this a gift they’ll use daily and actually love more as time goes on.

 

Tatcha Hydration Obento

Some of my glassiest skincare creams are from Tatcha, and this bento box bundles them together in the cutest way.

 
 
 

Quince Baby Alpaca-Wool Cropped Cardigan

I’ve never gotten so many compliments on a sweater or people asking where I got it. Ipso facto, everyone’s getting one.

 

Letterfest Personalised Small Round Birth Flower Pot

For all the precious plant people in your life, a custom keepsake that says “I also remember when your birthday is.” Also, when did everyone we know suddenly become plant people?
