I have SO many gift suggestions this year, that you're getting a part 2! The items below are all, in my opinion, surefire hits! There's something for everyone at a variety of price ranges. Happy shopping!

LADIES: Lingua Franca sweaters are luxurious and come pre-designed with a lot of different sayings, but can also be customized! This cosmetic bag from Hillhouse is so roomy and comes in a few sweet, girlie patterns. You could maybe combine it with a gift set from Dr. Remedy nails. This polish was created by podiatrists and is vegan, but the best news is that it's good polish! The belts from Favorite Daughter are so well priced for the quality- I own two! And last, but definitely not least, this Gucci bag could be the "IT" bag of the season. It comes in two sizes and a variety of colors. It is so darn cute in person and would be an amazing gift for you to give or receive!

GENTS: How stinkin' cute is this MLB coaster set? I love that it's sitting in a wooden glove- it would be perfect in a family room (there's also an NFL version!). The King Loot passport case is the one to get for your guy if he needs an upgrade. The quality and stitching are top notch and the spot for the Apple AirTag is genius! There are a lot of books out there about micro habits, but this one gets great reviews and includes financial habits too. Soap doesn't sound like a great gift, but this set from Caldera Labs is part of their high performance skincare line created specifically for men. Supposedly, it's amazing stuff. And finally, THE favorite pant of many of the guys in my life are these breeze pants from Freefly Apparel. Comfy all year-round and available in many colors.

YOUNGER GALS: These socks from Free People come in so many cute patterns and would look adorable with the pleated skirt from Steve Madden. Both styles are all the rage for teens through 30 year olds! Selena Gomez' Rare Beauty line has some great products, but this eau de parfum might be the best one. Made without parabens, it smells like vanilla and caramel- YUM! Another beauty line favorite amongst this age group is Rhode by Hailey Bieber and this phone case, that has a spot to fit her beloved lip gloss, is legit a genius idea! And, yes fuzzy/furry coats are back...again. Since they seem to go in and out of style every few years, I would suggest NOT spending a bundle on one. Instead, check out one of the many cute ones below from H&M.

YOUNGER GUYS: There's a new hot brand for sneakers called Salomon's that all the young guys want. They come in so many colors and styles that you will have trouble picking! Got a picky nephew? Check out the cute money holders on Etsy that look like chapstick rolls. This jumprope is missing the middle! But no, it was designed that way to eliminate tripping! Jumping rope is a great cardiovascular exercise and is perfect for indoor workouts this winter. I don't know a guy who DOESN'T love music in the shower and these speakers from Sharper Image are top notch. Finally, for the guy who is into fashion this hoodie from Essentials Fear of God would be an amazing gift. It's super soft and the brand is very trendy.

GRANDS: If your parents or grandparents struggle with hydration, these Jelly Drops would make the perfect gift. "Jelly Drops are an innovative sugar-free treat, made of 95% water with added electrolytes & vitamins, designed to increase fluid intake." They even offer a subscription program! The Aarke coffeemaker is top of the line, but still very easy to use. If you want to upgrade your parents Keurig, this is the brewer to get them. I've recommended these shortbread cookies before and I'm including them again this year because they are SO yummy and can be personalized! Each time your grand enjoys one they can read a little message from you- how extra sweet! Sharper Image offers this large print clock that shows not only the time, but also the day and date. No more trying to remember what day it is! And, I highly recommend the lotions (and scrubs) sold by Paint Nail Bars. They are all non-toxic and are some of my favorites of all the brands out there.

KIDS: I love an old-school type of gift for the kids on your list. An animal themed croquet set or a set of walkie-talkies will get them off screens and outside! Both are also gifts that require interaction with others and creativity. The company So Wood sells the most adorable wooden music boxes that can be personalized. They would make a terrific keepsake gift for the baby or younger child on your list. This phone clip is a great idea...it's for parents trying to get the attention of their little one when taking a picture. The lion mane spins to get the child to look right at the camera for the perfect shot!

HOSTESS: This olive oil set is on all the gift lists this year because not only are the oils super yummy, it now comes with a dipping dish from Mackenzie-Childs! This is a NO BRAINER great gift so if you can find one...get two! I am also in love with this sleek, personalizable leather wine carrier. It would make a perfect gift for a boss or any host or hostess. Five Star Napkins has an assortment of holiday and non-holiday napkins that are sure to make you smile. With abundant funny sayings they would be a joyful and welcome gift!. Life is too short to drink coffee from a Keurig! Invest in a good quality maker (see Grands above) and then get yourself this delicious Italian coffee. And, what's better than one chocolate chip cookie? A jar of mini-chocolate chip cookies! This Microchip Cookies 6-Jar Gift Set will delight anyone on your list and...you can have a lot of cookies when they're mini, right?

STOCKING STUFFERS: The stockings are the WORST to buy for! Sure you can do toothbrushes, gum, candy, and lottery tickets, but those are SO expected. This year consider a delicious nut mix from William Sonoma; a custom pet bag charm from Waggy Pets; a worry stone from Tiny Rituals (there is definitely something soothing about rubbing your thumb on these stones!); some delicious chocolate marshmallow sticks; or...some dinner dice to make deciding what to door dash a bit easier! HAPPY SHOPPING!
