Christmas Wish List Gift Ideas: My Family’s Favorites!

Looking for some great Christmas wish list gift ideas? My family has put together our lists of our favorite things to share tons of great gift ideas with you!

I’m excited to be sharing my family’s favorite gift ideas from our personal Christmas wish lists as one of the two gift guides that I’ve done every holiday season for years! I get my whole family involved in this one and they never fail in coming up with some great gift ideas! If you’re looking for the perfect gifts for her, him, or teen girls you’ve come to the right place 🙂 Ready to get going and check out our favorites? (post includes affiliate links – full disclosure statement available {here})

Let’s start my own favorites with lots of ideas for a Christmas wish list for her:

Christmas Wish List Gift Ideas for Her

1. Who doesn’t love a great pair of cozy pajamas for Christmas? I consider myself a bit of a cozy PJ connoisseur (if there is such a thing – ha) and I have two favorites. First I love {these Dreamy cotton pajamas} that come in black or gray stripes:

And I’m also a big fan of Nordstrom’s Moonlight PJs you can find {here} in several pretty color and pattern options. Both of them are super cozy, have worn well for years, and have hundreds of glowing reviews to back me up on my love for them!  

2. This year I bought a wireless phone charger that I leave on my nightstand and now I don’t know what I’d do without it – it’s just so easy and I’m never hunting around for charging cords. It would be great to have at a desk area too for someone who works at home. The one I have is pretty ugly so I’ve already pre-ordered {this pretty wireless charger} and think it would make a wonderful gift too (it also comes in a “Garden Party Blue” pattern that’s beautiful!):

Also check out their AirPods cases {here} which would also make a great gift for someone with AirPods. I have the “Clear Wildflowers” case and love that it keeps me from getting mine mixed up with my husbands.  

3. I’m all about everything Barefoot Dreams – seriously the coziest stuff you’ll ever own! They make amazing gifts because not only does everyone love them but it’s easier to get sizing right than for most other clothing. It’s become my husband’s favorite gift to give me because he knows it’s the one thing he can buy that I’ll never return. 🙂 They’re not cheap but that’s what makes them a nice gift for someone who typically doesn’t splurge on themselves. Since my first Barefoot Dreams robe that I got over 20 years ago, I’ve had everything from their cardigans, throws, robes, and travel shawls and love them all but if this is someone’s first Barefoot Dreams item, a cardigan like {this circle cardigan} (also available {here}) that comes in loads of color options would be the perfect gift:

 

These are other Barefoot Dreams items that I have, love, and would absolutely recommend for gift giving are their robes {here}, their hooded cardigan {here}, and their comfy throws {here}. 

4. I love Kendra Scott jewelry – there are so many pretty options and the brand stands behind what they sell. My all-time favorite Kendra Scott purchase is {this Ott bracelet} (also available {here} with free shipping/returns). I love that it’s adjustable so it fits your wrist no matter the size and it goes with anything and everything I wear. I have the gold metal which is a nice soft, neutral gold shade but there are three other metal options too:

Also check out {this gold bracelet set} – I love the stacked bracelet look but they can also be worn separately or in any combination of two making them super versatile.

5. I love a good vase or planter and I especially love when it’s the perfect size to use it as either! {This gray striped planter} (also available {here}) is one of my long-time go-to’s that would be a wonderful Christmas wish list gift idea on its own or filled with a plant or flowers. Right now I have mine in our kitchen next to our range filled with seasonal faux florals:

Another long-time favorite vase of mine is {this glass hurricane} that can be used with candles too and {this color dip pot} that looks like a basket but is actually handpainted cement. 

6. If the person you’re buying a gift for loves design like I do, {this new design book} by Studio McGee would be a great gift! They are a widely popular design duo who have designed some of the prettiest homes I’ve ever seen and I can’t wait to get my hands on their book once it’s published this October. 

7. I received {this small travel jewelry case} as a gift several years ago and use it every time I travel – it’s the perfect size for a getaway and I like that it has a firm shape so that my jewelry won’t get smushed or damaged. So many people are going to be anxious to get back to traveling in 2021 that it would make a great gift! There are lots of pretty color options and you can have it monogrammed too:

I’m also love {these clear pouches} that allowed me to diss my flimsy plastic toiletry bag for getting through security and I swear by {these packing cubes}.

8. {This clip-on strainer} has been one of my favorite kitchen gadgets for years and would make a great stocking stuffer or to add to your own Christmas wish list gift ideas!

It clips onto the side of pots and pans for use as a strainer rather than using a colander. I love it because it fits all of my pots and pans no matter the size and is dishwasher friendly so there’s no more need for hand washing a big colander! Check out {this post on my favorite kitchen gadgets} for several more stocking stuffer ideas!

9. I’ve had a lot of faux fur throws over the year and unfortunately most of them are never the same once you wash then. But {this fur throw} rocks! I bought it three years ago and it’s been through the wash numerous times and still looks like new. The first year we had it out only in the winter and put it away for the warmer months but then Hope because such a fan that we started keeping it out year round:

It comes in two sizes and multiple color options – a great gift for the Netflix binger in your life!

And now moving on to my husband’s list…

Christmas Wish List Gift Ideas for Him

 

1. {These tree runner sneakers} are one of my husband’s favorite buys of 2020. They come in about a dozen colors, are super comfortable and machine washable, and are made of renewable materials. Nice enough looking to wear for business casual work but comfy enough for the weekend too. If you’re looking for a slightly dressier look for work, also check out {these Zerogrand wingtip oxfords} that are much more comfortable than your typical dress shoe.

2. My husband wanted a Yeti for years but didn’t want to give up having a cooler on wheels so as soon as Yeti came out with {this portable wheeled Yeti cooler}, he jumped on it. It is absolutely a splurge purchase but it’s lived up to the hype 100% for keeping things cool all day long and for being virtually indestructible. 

3. If the guy in your life is a griller, {these grill mats} are a must-have! They keep your food from sticking to the grill or falling between the grates but are thin enough to still leave grill marks. The best part is that they’re dishwasher safe for easy clean up.

 

 

4. {This Nano Puff water resistant jacket} is a great year-round jacket that’s super lightweight and folds up to a small size if you want to put it away in a backpack, briefcase, etc. once it warms up. 

5. {This grill brush} is the best one you’ll ever have – my husband said it makes cleaning the grill so much easier than with his old brush! It has a nice, long handle so you can use it with a hot grill and it doesn’t lose bristles like so many other brushes do.

6. I gave {this breakfast sandwich maker} to Jeff for Christmas last year and he’s used it at least 2-3 times a week ever since. Makes great breakfast sandwiches quickly and all of the removable parts are dishwasher safe. It can be hard to tell from the pics but it’s pretty small so it’s not an extra appliance that’s going to take up much space on your drawers or shelves. 

7. If the guy you’re buying for has an iPhone but doesn’t have wireless headphones {these Airpods} they would definitely be a hit! They’re great for staying hands-free while still being able to hear completely clearly. You can also check out {these Airpods Pro} which have a few feature upgrades and higher price tag.

 

 8. We have definitely upped the number of at-home cocktails we make with being home so much more and Jeff loves {these large sphere & square ice cube molds} that cool your cocktail but melt less quickly than typical ice cubes so your alcohol doesn’t get watered down. A great stocking stuffer!

 

 

And wrapping up with some gift suggestions for teen girls based on what my daughters have on their wish lists:

Christmas Wish List Gift Ideas for Teen Girls

 

1. This Wubby Fleece Pullover found {HERE} is one of my girls’ favorite Christmas gifts from last year! It’s available in this pretty gray as well as a few other colors:

2. Weighted blankets are popular for all ages, including teens, so are a great Christmas wish list gift idea. This weighted blanket found {here} is an incredibly highly rated option that’s available in a variety of weights and colors. My youngest daughter loves hers!

3. Jewelry is always a hit with teen girls – especially necklaces. {THIS pendant necklace} is one that my oldest daughter wears time and time again:

4. My younger teen has several of {these bow scrunchies} – they’re super cute and come in six pattern options (the “brown multi” is her favorite but this yellow multi is cute too!):

Also check out this set of ten scrunchies {here}.

5. This idea is a cute one! It’s a huggable heating + cooling pad that is filled with buckwheat grains and lavender and can be microwaved to keep you warm or frozen to cool you off. There are several different plush options including {this llama heating + cooling pad}:

You can also find a corgi, sloth,and other options {here}. 

6. Beauty products are a nice gift idea for teen girls too! It can be tough to buy someone else makeup since it’s so taste specific but {these Fenty Beauty Lip Luminizers} are almost universally loved. Great stocking stuffer!

And if you want a few more teen gift ideas, these are some other favorites:
