Gift Guides – Him, Her, Homemaker, & Stocking Stuffers

Nov 20, 2024 | Lifestyle | 0 comments

‘Tis the season for Christmas shopping. I love gift guides for sparking ideas. A majority of the links below are things I’ve used and loved! Some of them are things that are on my own Christmas list. And a few are recommendations from friends. 

I try to keep my life as natural and toxin free as possible so nearly everything I’ve suggested keeps that in mind. 

Hopefully these pictures and links can spark some inspiration to shower your loved ones with some special gifts! 

As a creator, I spend a lot of time trying to bring you relevant content, it means the world to me that you visit my site and value what I put out into the world!

Many of these links are to Amazon which is probably the most favored way to shop. A bummer with Amazon links is that the purchase has to be made within 24 hours in order for me to get credit for the sale. Please keep that in mind when trying to support your favorite creators!

Enjoy! 

For the Homemaker

homemaker gift ideas
  • Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro – Toaster, air fryer, proof, warm, reheat, it has so many functions so I use this ALL THE TIME because I don’t use the microwave. I’ve had it for a couple years now and would purchase it again! There is also a compact version now. 
  • Breville Barista Express espresso machine – Alaskans can’t go too long without coffee, when I started working from home years ago, I wanted an espresso machine and have loved it ever since!
  • Arc Candle lighter – This is a great kid proof (ish) lighter for your candles! Reusable, rechargeable. Inexpensive enough to have one wherever you have candles in your house. 
  • Candles – Antique Candle Co has amazing non toxic candles. I also really love buying beeswax candles (pillar, taper) as well. These taper candle holders would fit with any decor. 
  • Stainless steel pans – Every year it seems like there’s a new non toxic non stick pan option out there, but let me tell ya – just learn to cook on stainless steel and you’ll never need another pan set again. This is the set I’ve had for 6+ years and I’d buy it again! 
  • Humidifier – Stop waking up with a dry nose, scratchy throat, and static-y hair! This humidifier won’t grow mold and the parts are dishwasher safe.
  • Freezer Alarm – The contents of our large freezers are a culmination of a ton of work! These alarms will let me know if they get too warm so I can catch an issue before we lose everything.
  • Dehydrator – I bought this dehydrator on prime day and I love it! It’s large, but light and works wonderfully! 
  • Sourdough accessories – Sourdough is all the rage grab some bowl covers, reusable bread bags, and a linen apron to up level your sourdough game!
  • Gardening Overalls – I wear these all spring, summer, and fall and everyone always asks about them! They are durable, have the perfect amount of stretch, and pockets everywhere you need them. 
  • Butcher paper holder – Grab a small one for grocery or to do list or grab a large one to use as a monthly calendar (that’s what I do)! 
  • Stone drying mat – These are perfect for the kitchen or bathroom they dry instantly so you don’t have to worry about washing dish mats or wet bathroom rugs. It would also be great for under a dog’s water dish. 
  • Watering can – If your gal has indoor plants, this is a cute watering can that isn’t plastic. 
  • Popcorn salts – This variety pack is great for a family movie night – everyone can have their own flavor! Its already on sale plus stack my code HAPPYHOME to save.

For Her

gift ideas for her

  • Candles – Antique Candle Co has amazing non toxic candles. I also really love buying beeswax candles as well. 
  • Oura ring – I’ve only had mine for a few weeks now but I am SOLD! If the gal in your life likes to track her steps, cycle, or sleep, this is the gadget for her! I also have a list of my favorite winter walking gear here.
  • Water bottle – This water bottle has a straw and a ‘chug’ option and its leak proof so you can toss it in a bag! 
  • Garmin watch – I’ve had a Garmin watch since 2019 and love this one. I wanted a watch and step tracker without having my cell phone on my wrist. You can get phone notifications but I choose to have them off. 
  • Lumebox red light therapy device – Red light therapy is good for so many things! I use it in the winter to support my circadian rhythm. It’s known to reduce inflammation, help with muscle recovery, healing wounds, support collagen production (glowy skin), and balance energy and mood. My link saves you 40%. 
  • Non toxic lotion – It’s hard to find a non toxic body lotion that isn’t super greasy. This lotion is literally perfect! Use my code HAPPYHOME to save.
  • Kindle – I know so many people think they can give up a physical copy of a book, but let me tell you – you can! I used to be that way and I’ve had a Kindle now for 2 years and I’ll never go back! I highly recommend it for any reader, especially someone who travels!
  • Christian Planner – I know people have very specific needs when it comes to planners but this one is so good! It’s beautiful and has a ton of great features. I’ve gifted it to friends who have loved it too! 
  • Non toxic gel manicure kit – I purchased this kit this summer and have loved it. I like having my nails done but I don’t like spending the money or exposing myself to the toxins at the nail salon so this was the perfect solution! 
  • Non Toxic Perfume – grab this sample pack of perfume so your favorite lady can choose her favorite scent before committing to a big bottle. 
  • Darn Tough socks – I wear this everyday in the winter. They come with a lifetime guarantee so if they ever wear out you can get them replaced for free! 
  • Boody Underwear – The best barely there feeling thong! The bikini version is great too. Only underwear I own now! 
  • Hatch Alarm Clock – A friend gifted this to me and it’s one of my favorite things! It simulates a sunrise, which is perfect for dark winters. You can fall asleep to white noise, a waterfall, waves crashing, etc. It’s the perfect winter alarm clock. 
  • Bathtub water filter – Our skin is our largest organ so if you don’t want to be drinking your city or tap water, you also don’t want to be bathing in it. This is a great value to filter your bath water!

  • Ice cream maker – this one has its own compressor so no need for a freezer bowl. This one has a freezer bowl and is a little less expensive.

  • Chicken water heater – This is the heater that is compatible with the waterer above. 
  • Large Freeze Dryer – A girl can dream! This is a big purchase but a perfect addition to any homestead operation!
  • Plant lights – I bring a few of my favorite potted herbs in each winter and they are always reaching for the winter – these would be prefect to prevent that. Stylish too!
