Unique Gift Ideas from a Seasoned Shopper | 2022 Gift Guide Someone Has Actually Tried

Since I shop every day, it just wouldn’t be right not to share some of the best deals and unique gifts I find. You can put down your car keys and grab a cup of coffee instead. Your holiday shopping just got simpler. This is the best high-low unique gift mix all in one spot. Also, it’s okay to add extra to your cart to reward yourself for being such a smart shopper this holiday season. With new sales on great stuff coming up every day I’m also adding a supplemental email in between blog posts, just for subscribers. I’m calling it my PSA – Personal, Stylist, Announcement, so make sure to keep an eye on your inbox.


Guys Cozy Capsule Wardrobe

Give him these 7 separates that mix and match to make 14 cozy casual outfit combinations. Something subtle besides black is so nice. He will feel good about all of these pieces that feel good from Vuori. They are all sustainable and ethically made. They make most of the same pieces for women too. You’ll find the biggest selection here but some styles are available at Nordstrom.

Unique Gifts For Teens

My oldest son just became a teenager this November so I also polled my 15 and 17-year-old nieces for their picks. Some of their favorites include graphic tees, oversized sweaters or hoodies, and converse sneakers. Urban Outfitters was a popular place that had almost everything on their lists and is currently offering 25% off everything.


You don’t have to be in your teens to rock a cool pair of converse sneakers. I love my black high-top converse sneakers and wrote this blog post that will give you some converse sneaker outfit ideas.


Customize a cozy shearling-lined croc your favorite kids can wear as slippers, or a simple slip-on they can wear before or after their next big game.


Unique Gifts When You Work From Home

The biggest game changer in my home office setup has been this jumbo ultra slim 27″ monitor. If you love a paper calendar as much as I do, this giant 15″x12″ style has been my go-to for the last 3 years. This designer-inspired H blanket makes a good gift and looks great in a home office. I rotate mine between my sofa and desk chair.

What’s Actually on My List

I’m hard to buy for because I’m always shopping, but I always put a few big ticket items on my wish list. Most years it’s a designer handbag. Check out my Designer Handbag Directory if you’re in the market for one this year.


One Big Happy Family

If you’re happy and you know it then your “look” will surely show it…My entire family is obsessed with this iconic smiley symbol. I love my trucker hat and my “teenager” just got this $15 beanie. Big brands we love like Gap and Farm Rio have special smiley collections that are selling fast, especially now since they are both running juicy cyber week sales. Make your luxe lovers happy with a Ganni graphic T-shirt or spread some happiness to some of your best friends with this 6-piece set of 🙂 necklaces under $10!
