My Favorite Things 2021 // Gift Guide for Her

FALALALALA! We are just a couple days out from Thanksgiving which means lots of turkey, pie & shopping! Have you hopped on the Black Friday Week train yet?! I’m prepping to host on Thursday, but I’m also gearing up to start pushing out all of my new gift guides this year. I wanted to kick off the season with My Favorite Things 2021 // Gift Guide for Her! 

You can always shop my Gift Guides in this tab here, where they sit for year-round idea-gathering. Most of the product links are still correct, but I will go in and update as many as I can for you!

I’ve always shared Gift Guides for Her each season to help you with your mom, sister, grandma, bestie and all the other special ladies in your life, but last year was the first time I rounded up an entire guide of my personal favorite things! Tried and true and most have been long-time ride-or-dies. Since last year’s list was pretty all-inclusive of my all-time faves, I thought this year’s list would be my favorite things of the year.

All of the products and finds I’ve fallen in love with in 2021! Truly all the things I reach for the most!

Come see everything I have to share! You’ll find things at all price points.

And be sure to go back to last year’s My Favorite Things post for even more ideas for the girls on your list!

Hopefully you can get some shopping done or maybe even add to your own wish list 😉

MY FAVORITE THINGS 2021 : THE DETAILS

self tanner mousse set // If you’re looking for a bronzy glow to help you get out of the winter blues, this is the ONE! I’ve used St. Tropez tanning mousse for a couple years, but this limited edition set with Ashley Graham is so good. It comes with a mitt which I highly recommend using to save your hands from turning too dark! I use it from my neck down, making sure to work in circles and paying attention to my ankles, elbows and the backs of my arms & legs.

CT flawless filter // This is the one of the best beauty hacks / add-ons for your current routine.

Swipe a few dots on the top of your cheekbone or mix a few drops in with your foundation and I promise you’ll notice the glow! I wear the light / medium.

tan luxe butter // Another self tanning fav! Total accident that they all ended up at the top of my list, but this one in particular is one I use almost daily. I mix 1 pump of the butter with one pump of my regular body lotion. Its a gradual building tan and leaves a subtle gold shimmer where applied. If you don’t want to mess with a heavy mouse or worry about streaking, this is a great option. I love it for a holiday glow!! 

cuff bracelet // chic & simple. I love mixing this cuff with all of my beaded bracelets.

Its under $50 and so pretty.

bar stud earrings // I wear these everyday in my 3rd piercing. Subtly edgy, but still sleek & simple.

CHI hat // Bad hair day, lazy hair day, 3rd day without washing hair day – this is the hat I grab! Especially love representing my old city now that we’re in Phoenix!

food storage containers // How many times can I share these containers?! I love them. They are perfect for leftovers or fresh cut fruits & vegetables. You can use them in the microwave, freezer and are dishwasher safe!

glitter jelly bracelet set // When you want to accessorize for the pool 😉 I lived in these May through October!

They are waterproof bracelets so perfect for the pool or beach vacation. So easy to wear – great stocking stuff!

NYX butter glosses // Another great stocking stuffer! This set of 3 can be delivered same day and runs less than $3 per tube. I love Praline & Tiramisu! 

circle necklace & stud set // A dainty necklace & simple pair of CZ studs would make a great gift this season.

I love the simplicity of the necklace, but the offset stone gives it a fun asymmetrical look. The chain is thin so the circles sparkle on your neck & chest.

Under $45!

silk pillowcase // I can hardly sleep without this thing! This silk pillowcase is soft, cooling and is great on your skin and hair throughout the night. I hate when I have to wash it and switch to a regular pillowcase – I guess I should probably snag a couple more. It has a zipper closure and I have the taupe color. So pretty with any bedding & sheet colors you have.

It feels so luxe!

quay sunglasses // These sunnies are so fun! I first tried QUAY this year and fell in love with so many styles.

I grabbed this pair and this pair, but have my eyes on this one [be sure to look at the side of the frames – so pretty!! a friend and my mom both have them!] this one and these. AND they are all currently BOGO FREE for their Black Friday sale. I wouldn’t sit on this deal as the popular sunglasses tend to sell out!!

weighted blanket // This is one of those things you don’t know you need until you have it. Highly recommend! It feels amazing to crawl under this thing at night. It’s soft and not too heavy [I have the 12 pound]. The cover is removable for washing. I lay in on the lower half of my body on top of my comforter and it has definitely helped me to relax and fall asleep faster. Plus its such a fun print!!

plastic marble melamine bowls // You might remember these from last year. I shared them in my Under $25 gift guide, but I don’t think I had started using them yet! This chic set of large bowls with lids is only $14. I purged some of my colorful, mismatched bowls and opted to use this set instead. The black ones are really pretty too. I love that you can mix or serve out of them!

olive tree // I mentioned this in my recent Family Room reveal, but my love for this tree runs deep. Maybe because its because I’ve tried so many faux trees to land on this one! It is the perfect addition to a little nook in our space and I love the 96″ height. 

abstract art print // This print is that oversized one I have right next to the olive tree. The 40″ x 50″ really makes a statement, but I love the print itself so much that I would enjoy it in a much smaller size on a shelf or even as a framed canvas.

the seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo // Ok, if you haven’t read this one yet, please add it to your cart now! This would have to be my favorite book of the year. You can see all of my reads in this tab here, but this one is a standout above the rest. Under $10 for the paperback! 

white cover-up // my go-to when traveling. Its longer for full coverage, easily buttons [or you can throw it on & leave it open] and the sleeves roll & button up, too. Doesn’t wrinkle & washes nicely! Pairs with any and every swimsuit.

faux leather joggers // I always grab for these when I want to dress up a step above jeans. They are super duper comfortable with the best suck-you-in material in a high-waisted fit. Pockets, too! I first shared these during the Nordstrom Anniversary sale and have worn them many, many times since.

See how I styled these joggers 3 ways here!

They are a little bit of a splurge pant, but you can’t go wrong with a pair of SPANX in my opinion. A great holiday party option – just add a chic sweater or a sequin top and heels!

gold tray  // Such a classic styling piece on any surface or a remote catchall on your coffee table. Mine still sits on top of our dresser as seen in my Fall Target Finds & my Early Fall Home Tour, but will be decorating it for Christmas soon. A vase, candle and you’re done!

Would make a great gift paired with a candle and this lighter or this match cloche – which should absolutely be on my 2021 Favorite Things List. Consider it an honorary member! My sister gifted it to me last year and I LOVE it!

The perfect gift for the home décor lover or the friend who has everything 😉 

glass tumbler w/ straw // One of my water tumblers always in rotation.

I fill it up during the day and refill it a couple times throughout. Several colors available, but the rose gold sparkle is gorgeous. It has a bamboo lid, comes with a plastic straw and fits in your cup holder, too!

slippers // great under $25 option. I have this brown color and they are so incredibly comfortable!! I like this updated version, too.
