Founder Faves: Everything We’re Gifting for the Holidays This Year

"These sneakers are what I will be wearing to morph into elf mode this holiday season. They pair well with athleisure and stress." -Danielle ($90, Reebok)

"This is what I'm gifting my kids to save my back as we travel over the hill and through the woods this holiday season. They come in great colors, fit into overheads, and help streamline all the gear needed for trips. You can also accessorize it with these custom patches." -Danielle ($120, Target)

A Skimm+ membership. Think of this as everything you trust about the Skimm, amplified. More collective insights, more community, and more tools and templates to make life's decisions easier. Plus, exclusive perks from brands that actually make your life better. (Join the Waitlist)

Classy candles are always a good gift for the hosts in your life (in that case — our families should take note, since that’s the two of us). Check the box on buying something they wouldn’t think to buy themselves. ($36, Meri Meri)

Trying to buy for the person who has everything is a losing proposition. Save your time and gift them something that does good in their name. Empower is a nonprofit organization that helps kids navigate grief after the death of a parent. (Prices vary, Empower) 

Frango Mints are a throwback (hey, Marshall Field’s) that foodies of all ages will appreciate. They fit in a stocking or look good with a bow. ($50, Macy’s)

For anyone working 9 to 5, we have the gift for you. This cookbook is packed with classic Southern recipes from Dolly Parton and her sister, who happens to be Dolly’s favorite cook. Dolly can do no wrong. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

Eberjey pajamas are always on our wish list. We've accidentally given each other matching Eberjeys two times now. So consider this our hint to the other. ($138, Eberjey)

The Urban Decay Naked eyeshadow palettes are just as good now as they were when we were teenagers — we both have had this for almost 20 years and could not be happier it’s making a comeback. The teen in your life will be just as happy to receive this as your nostalgic older sister. ($35+, Urban Decay)

"I’m gifting this investment piece to the friend who does not know how to do her hair well (cough, Carly, cough). It’s a multi-styler that’ll dry their hair quicker and with less damage than a typical hair dryer. Plus, the curling attachments are foolproof to use." -Danielle ($299.99, Ninja)

"I love this for two reasons: When I’m baking, I always need another mixing bowl for the stand mixer, so this is useful. And it’s so gorgeous and stylish, I’m happy to leave it out on the countertop (and save storage space in the process)." -Carly ($99.99, KitchenAid)

Courtesy of Posh Spice herself. This Victoria Beckham Beauty set includes five kajal eye pencils, a sharpener, and a lengthening mascara. We think this is the perfect luxury beauty gift. ($176, Victoria Beckham Beauty)

M.M.LaFleur has the most effortlessly chic clothes. You can’t go wrong with a gift card — not only because they can pick out exactly what they want, but they’ll also be able to try their BENTO® styling service and get a personalized shoppable lookbook along with it. ($50+, M.M.LaFleur)

"My dog, Macaroni, on an oven mitt. There’s nothing else to say here other than this is very important. You can choose up to three faces, including cats and people, plus your background design." -Carly ($24.99, PetParty)

Everyone needs socks, and no one dislikes cashmere. These aren’t as expensive as other cashmere goods, but the quality lasts year over year. ($39.50+, J.Crew)
