Welcome to my 2024 Gift Guide. This is a list of favorite things for this year. If you are needing inspiration for a special lady in your life, this is where you will find it.
I love antiques and a lot of these items could be found at an antique store near you which would make for an extra special gift this season! These are also items that work for every budget, style, etc.
FOR THE HOMEBODY
House Shoes
I am loving these slippers from Quince!
Pajamas
I will always love receiving pajamas on Christmas morning. Always.
You really can't go wrong. Some of my favorite brands include Quince, Cozy Earth, Victoria's Secret, and Lake.
I am honestly loving Victoria's Secret pajamas right now and have included this striped modal cotton set on my Christmas wish list!
Also obsessing over this VS flannel set!
Clogs
I am shocked at how badly I've wanted clogs. I grew up in my Birkenstock clogs. I hadn't thought of them in many years until I saw a woman in a perfectly slouchy outfit rocking the clogs and I was instantly obsessed.
I love these Quince clogs. I think they are so cool and they have raving reviews.
Slouchy Bag or Tote
I love slouch. I love lounge. I love this perfect Love Knot Slouchy Bag from Anthropologie.
They also have a few fun colors with this one.
Embroidered Hand Towels
These hand towels from Anthropologie are so fun!
I am a sucker for a scalloped edge. I've had this hand towel from Pottery Barn in my cart for Elliott. They are perfect for his bathroom!
Homemade Sugar Scrub
This is definitely on my giving list this season.
I am so into homemade gifts this year and will absolutely be making a sugar scrub to gift friends and family.
You can find so many recipes on line. Just find one that works for you!
I pulled this one from Eating By Elaine
Breville Espresso Machine
If you're looking for a gift that will pack a punch this year, get her an espresso machine. We have this Breville machine and have loved it for years!
FOR THE CHEF
Recipe Journal
This recipe journal went to the top of my wish list this year.
I am awful at writing my recipes down. My goal for 2025 is to be intentional with each of my recipes so I can share them with the world!
Papier has a stunning collection of customizable recipe journals!
If you have a chef in your life, she will love this in her stocking!!
Kitchen Aid Mixer
For the baker in your life.
For the new mom who wants to finally bake bread.
For the girl who wants great whipped cream and homemade butter, get her a Kitchen Aid Mixer.
Martha Stewart Cook Book
Martha Stewart recently released her 100th cookbook.
This is currently the signature cookbook on my kitchen counter. It's actually a goal of mine to make all 100 recipes next year!
Dutch Oven
Naturally, all home chefs dream of adding a Le Creuset dutch oven to their collection.
This is another big gift that will definitely impress any cook!
It's also possible to find a pre-loved dutch oven at antique shops or market place.
Meringue is a timeless color that will match any kitchen.
However, I am dreaming about the shade Rhone.
It's perfect.
Salad Servers
I debated adding this one in because I feel like it's a bit niche but ultimately, this would be a great last minute stocking stuffer. I know I would be thrilled to add more servers to my collection.
Check out this beautiful Hostess Set at Williams Sonoma
This is another gift that you can easily find at an antique or local shop.
Homemade Infused Olive Oil
This is another homemade gift on my giving list this year. I am so excited to make these.
Again, there's lots of recipes out there.
Be sure to grab a high quality olive oil.
Apple Butter
I've fallen in love with making apple butter.
And I will most certainly be gifting friends and family my apple butter this year.
This is a labor of love but it's so worth it. If you want to give my recipe a go, reach out and I will send it to you.
If you're local to Charleston, I do sell my jars - so if you need a quick gift, let me know asap and I will get a jar to you!
FOR THE HOST
Cheese Knives
Grab a set of beautiful cheese knives so your favorite lady can present her best charcuterie.
This vintage set is from Magnolia
Again, I totally recommend finding a set at an antique or local shop.
Ice Bucket
I am drooling over this stunning Mark and Graham Monogrammed Ice Bucket.
What a perfect gift for your favorite host.
Vintage Glassware Set
Glassware is my favorite thing to collect. I intend to spend my life collecting beautiful glasses.
I own most of this Vintage Etched Glassware collection from Williams Sonoma.
My favorite glasses come from Williams Sonoma, antique shops, and my nana who is also a collector of beautiful antique pieces.
Hand Soap and Lotion
You can never go wrong with a good hand soap and lotion set.
The Aesop set is divine and a wonderful gift for the host.
Intentional gifts will always bring your loved ones the most joy. I hope you find some inspiration from my picks for 2024.
Merry Christmas to you all.
