For Her

1. Abercrombie sweats. So cozy and a great price point for a cute matching sweat set.
2. Merit nontoxic makeup. The intro set is on my list!
3. Ugg slippers. Early 2000s girlies are over the moon. These are all the rage and for good reason. I personally love the Ultra Mini boots and the Tazz slippers. I’ve never felt like I had too many cozy shoes for winter 🙂
4. Gazelles. Another shoe that’s all the rage and also for good reason! I love mine. They’re so comfy and come in lots of colors.
5. Primally Pure face mask. Really any of their face masks are incredible! The coffee mask is new and smells soooo good. But you can’t go wrong with any of these masks made with real ingredients.
6. Lululemon softstreme pants. The name speaks for itself. These are so incredibly soft and the perfect loungewear. I love the whole collection!
7. Made by Mary Live In hoops. So simple and the perfect gift for the girl that doesn’t need anything. Comes in several sizes.
8. These cutie socks. Or these. I personally4 can never have enough pairs of cute socks!

For Him

1. Madewell shacket. Really anything from Madewell is going to be a hit for the men in my life! My husband has also been really into Vuori lately and I love this shacket of theirs!
2. Journaling Bible. My husband and I both have one of these and we’ve gotten so much use out of them.
3. Lululemon joggers. For when he doesn’t want to wear jeans but still wants to feel put together.
4. Purity coffee. Tested for mold/pesticides/heavy metals. The best organic coffee! Use code MARTI to save 20%!
5. Ember mug. Never have a cup of cold coffee again.
6. Basic vintage tee like this one from Abercrombie or this Madewell tee.
7. Some nice socks. Level up the sock game for the man in your life with these Buck Mason socks or this comfy 3-pack from Madewell!
8. Leatherman Knife. For the guy that doesn’t want to lug around a full on multi-tool, but still needs a knife (or just wants one to feel cool). This is the perfect one!
9. A good workwear jacket like this Levi’s one or this one from Abercrombie.

For the Mom

1. Dagne Dover diaper bag. The neoprene material is unmatched and it comes with all the perfect accessories. I love my Dagne Dover!
2. Wildbird carrier. Every mom needs a good carrier in her life! This one is GREAT quality at a great price point! Like Artipoppe but without the $$$$$.
3. Stanley ice flow. I love my tumbler as much as the next guy, but practically speaking, I just have to have something that I can screw the lid on and throw in a bag and not worry about it leaking. This one checks all the boxes for me! Holds 36oz so I can still hit my daily water intake.
4. Claw clips. I can never have enough claw clips and these make great stocking stuffers! Not all claw clips are created equal though. My personal faves are these from Kitsch and this one from Kaxi because they truly hold my hair so well. Moms know, we have to keep our hair up at all times to avoid the hair grabs and the spit up.
5. Breastmilk jewelry. I absolutely LOVE this idea for a breastfeeding mom. Might be hard to pull off as a complete surprise (unless you have access to her milk lol), but still such a thoughtful and beautiful gift. Jewelry that looks like a pearl, but has sentimental value to it and honor’s a mom’s breastfeeding journey…that’s a yes from me!
6. Made by Mary stamped initial necklace. Another great gift with sentimental value attached to it. I love that you can add on more discs later on.
7. Divi scalp serum. Post-partum hair loss is no joke and this serum helps with scalp health. Also smells minty and just feels like a little mini spa in a bottle. Say no more!
8. Ember mug. The days of never being able to finish a hot coffee are over. And all the moms rejoice.
9. This tallow-based body butter is feels like actual butter and leaves your skin feeling insanely silk smooth. Also smells divine!
10. Epsom salts. These are no ordinary epsom salts! Infused with essential oils and french green clay. Pair it with the dry brush for the ultimate pampering gift for that deserving mom in your life!

For the babies and kiddos

1. Lovevery or Lalo play kits. Love these montessori style kits that come with toys appropriate for your baby’s age! We have the Lovevery toys and they’re a hit.
2. Wildbird PJs & sleep sacks. When I tell you these are our FAVORITE pjs and sleep sacks, I’m not joking. The only sleep sacks we have actually. The material is unreal and they’re so stretchy, without being too loose, so they last through multiple size ranges! The sleep sacks are unmatched, just trust me.
3. Gathre high chair mat. Our little one is about to start solids, so we’re definitely going to need one of these to protect our rug 🙂 Bonus points if you have a dog to clean up the mess, but if not, these are wipeable and clean up so easily!
4. Smol water table. Such a beautiful water table that is sure to get lots of use.
5. House of noa tumble mat. This one’s on my list! So versatile- transitions from tummy time to play time and it’s absolutely worth the price based on reviews.
6. Balance bike. A classic! Can’t go wrong with one of these.
7. Tabitha page books. We love all of her books. So beautifully and intentionally made.
8. Coterie diapers. Don’t underestimate giving the gift of practical and essential items! Coterie diapers are the best and would make a perfect gift IMO. Code MARTI20 saves you $$!

For the Cook

1. Dutch Oven. Every cook needs a good, solid dutch oven! I would go with a pure cast iron like this one, or an enameled one like this one from Great Jones or this one from Target that comes in lots of cute colors. If you want to splurge, a Le Crueset is a great option.
2. Our Place Wonder Oven. This one’s on my list! It can be a toaster oven or an air fryer. I love the idea of having something this size to heat up leftovers or individual servings of things without having to crank up my whole big oven.
3. A good knife set. This is a given for anyone who loves to cook! I love my knives from Our Place. Made In also has great quality knives, and Caraway has a great set too!
4. Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer. This is one of those things that I didn’t register for when I got married because I swore I’d never use something like this. Well, I got one last Christmas and I use it all the time! It’s a bakers dream but with all of the attachments you can get, the possibilities are endless. I have this color and I’m obsessed. It’s the perfect pearly white!
5. Caraway Bake Set. Caraway has really redefined the nonstick pan industry! Their materials are all nontoxic, instead of using forever chemicals like PFAS to get the job done. Their bakeware is beautiful and comes with racks to organize them inside your storage space!
6. A Little Less Toxic cookbook. I love everything Shawna does. This cookbook is chock full of yummy recipes that are healthy and nourishing.

For the Homebody

1. Primally Pure candles. I wiIll never stop talking about these candles. Made with beeswax and coconut oil, scented with high quality essential oils. No harmful chemicals and they smell incredible!
2. Some cozy bedding from Parachute Home. Love all of their pieces and colors!
3. A cordless vacuum. This one is a nice and more affordable dupe for the Dyson! I feel like vacuuming is just more fun when you’re not having to deal with a cord.
4. A Little Less Toxic: A Healthier Home. This is great for anyone who is on the journey to live a healthier and more holistic life, one step at a time. Each chapter focuses on overhauling one aspect of your home/life and I highly recommend for anyone on their health journey!
5. Branch Basics starter kit. Cleaning solution, laundry detergent, hand soap, etc. Easy to refill. Nontoxic. Works incredibly!
6. Chunky throw. Everyone needs a good cozy blanket for those dark winter days. LOVE this one from Anthro. And this too from this one too!
7. Some cozy bamboo PJs or this cloud cotton robe from Parachute. Perfect for lounging but still feeling cute ya know!

Homemade Gifts

I always LOVED making gifts growing up. And I truly love receiving homemade gifts. I think homemade gifts are so underrated. Here are some ideas that I think anyone would love!

1. Sourdough – if you need a recipe, I’ve got one here 🙂
2. Candied Pecans – maple, cinnamon, salt, & bake until crispy!
3. Stovetop potpourri – bundle up some rosemary, clove, cinnamon, and an orange in a cute little jar to give away.
4. Beeswax candles – all you need is some recycled jars, beeswax pellets, and wick kits!
5. Baked goods – speaks for itself, who doesn’t love a warm baked treat?
6. Homemade cocoa mix – another jar idea….just add cacao powder some sugar or coconut sugar 🙂 You can spice it up by adding cinnamon or crushed peppermints. Don’t forget the marshmallows on top!
7. Bath salts – just add epsom salt and a few drops of your favorite essential oils!
