Updated: Feb 16, 2020


Are you hard pressed for time to buy all your Christmas presents? Have you been too busy to go Black Friday shopping or too unsure to participate in Cyber Monday sales? Well look no further because I have put together a list of gifts that you can purchase today in one shopping cart on Amazon! These are universal gifts for your girlfriend/boyfriend, mother/father, sister/brother, and all of your other loved ones. Some are stocking stuffers, some are great for secret Santa, and some are more expensive gifts for the most special people in your life. After you read this, you'll only be a few shipping days away from wrapping up all of your holiday shopping...no literally, wrapping, like wrapping paper? OK, I might not be the best with jokes but trust me, I put this list together over the course of years of Christmas' and it will not disappoint. No matter what type of person you're shopping for, you'll find something they'll love whether they are an adventurous traveler, a crafty cook, a beauty guru, or a tech expert!


Beauty/Clothing


Ok guys, I know what you're thinking. Really, she put jewelry on the list, how cliche! But wait, hear me out. Firstly, I specifically said necklace. To get a necklace from a loved one is a feeling that I can't quite describe. This gift has the ability to really show the person how well you know them. Are they minimalistic? Classic? Glamorous? Whatever their style, if you choose the right one, it can become a statement in that persons wardrobe, something they'll never take off. It's been 23 years and I've never found that perfect necklace so if my beau did, nothing would be more special.



This gift basket I picked out is a great gift to give to your mom, aunt, or maybe grandmother. It is a way for them to pamper themselves in a way that they might not do already. A lot of the time, the most important women in our lives don't take the time or spend the money to take care of themselves or treat themselves. If you gave this as a gift, it would show that you want them to have a little 'me time'. Plus, this is tea tree oil with lavender, and c'mon, there isn't a better combination!




These scrunchies are a must have for any trendy girl in your life! You can gift them in a creative way, maybe a few in the stocking, a few hidden in the tree, or maybe two on your dogs ears! But there isn't a color missing in this collection and it's under $10, how can you resist? If you know someone who likes to mix up their hairstyles either to dress up or dress down, you won't go wrong with this value pack.




These wool socks by UGG are a staple for winter and fall outfits. They come in multiple colors like grey, ivory, olive, and blue. They are perfect for LL Bean Boots and jeans or moccasins and leggings. Whether its for fashion or warmth, they will do a heck of a job! Hang them off the side of her stocking for a cute presentation or wrap a couple pairs in a box! Socks really are a great Christmas present.





Okay, I know it's winter, but this silk wrap is a great addition to a summer, beach wardrobe or a cute accessory for Spring. Whether you're shopping for grandma or your wife, she will get great use of such a versatile silk wrap. Wear it around your neck like a scarf or fold it and tuck it as a skirt! This will amp up her look with just a piece of fabric.




Electronics



Now what you've all been waiting for, something to get the men in your life. Don't get me wrong though, the Amazon FireStick is a game changer for anyone, male or female, younger or older, movie lover or sports fan. For under $50 you can get every app on your TV without having a smart TV. You just need an HDMI port. I bought this as a sophomore in college and I still use it 4 years later everyday for a tv show, movie, or youtube video. Stream Netflix, Hulu, Disney +, ESPN, YouTube, HBOGo, and more for free!


This is the hottest gift of the year! I asked for beats headphones for Christmas and my sister asked for Bose headphones. I would've asked for air pods too but I think my mom would've lost it on us both! No matter what you choose, the recipient will be so excited. With all of the platforms to listen to music on these days, regular cord ear buds just don't cut it anymore. They fall out and get caught on gym equipment and if you don't have noise cancelling headphones, you still know the pain of hearing that baby cry on the plane! These are on the more expensive side so if you're looking for that special gift from Santa that gets saved for last for under the tree on Christmas morning, then this is it.


When I saw this online, I was so intrigued. I always thought that anyone with this type of lens kit or tripod was a big name influencer or social media star, but turns out a lot of people use these. They are great for getting detailed close ups, nature shots, or wide angles. It will boost your instagram feed to look professional no matter what kind of picture it might be. For any of your friends with a photography hobby, this is the right way to go!






A mix of travel, utility, and beauty. The perfect mini mirror and a

portable charger that's not just a random block of metal. Its cute and practical and it has LED lights for the perfect selfie lighting! This is a no brainer in my book.




I have been using silicone phone cases for years now. I am prone to dropping my phone and being unlucky enough that the screen cracks. That was until I discovered tempered glass. There are packs of 3-5 sheets for phones of all sizes on amazon and they pair perfectly with any silicone case. I like these because they are flexible, they have grip, they're skinny, they act as a bumper for the corners and edges of the phone, and come in all different colors. If you don't want to loose the aesthetic of an iPhone but still need to protect it, this is the way to go.




I have asked my mom for too many extra things in the process of writing this post that I couldn't bear to text her this link too, but man is it cool. This is a bluetooth printer that connects to your phone to instantly print photos! No more going to CVS and sitting at those kiosks for an hour to get the right sizes, borders, and pictures. This is a great at home way to capture those special moments in a frame.




I have been a fan of the UE Boom speakers for a while now. My mom got the original when it first came out and I got the second version a few years ago at Christmas. The third version has come out and it is bigger and better than ever. This speaker is bluetooth, waterproof, and can connect to other UE Boom speakers to double the volume. There are many colors to choose from and comes with a charging stand!





This is the most useful item you can get for a new traveler. Anyone who is loves experiencing new places could always use more of these. I'm going to New Zealand to be an Au Pair for a few months and I am going to need to purchase another converter. This particular converter is a great choice because it is universal, meaning it can receive any plug and can go into any outlet. It also has USB ports which is great for charging your phone!



Travel



I purchased a travel wallet from Amazon a few years ago when I first discovered my passion for seeing the world and I have used it as my everyday wallet ever since. It fits cash, checks, cards, business cards, a passport and boarding pass when necessary, and even your phone. They come in tons of colors and is so versatile it is perfect for staying organized when traveling and if you're just shopping around the mall!







London Fog is my personal favorite brand of luggage but Amazon has a wide range of companies to choose from. My style is more on the classic side and I love anything that looks British so the patterns they have are perfect for me! This bag is a great choice for carry on because it has four wheels and a rolling handle and separate straps to hold.





To go with the brand new luggage, you need to pair that with a smaller gift for when you're packing that bag. A luggage scale comes in as a close second behind a converter as the most useful thing for any traveler. Whether its for a business trip, three month study abroad, or quick vacation, there are always annoying weight limits that you have to stick to on flights. This is the perfect way to avoid stopping the check in line with unzipping your suitcase to remove jeans and soap to find the exact amount that your bad is overweight. No more nightmares. No more chaos.





This is a great way to remember all those amazing trips you take over the years. Hang it up on the wall and watch the colorful countries appear as you return home from every adventure. This gift is a gift for a lifetime, a reminder of the bucket list, and a fun way to share stories!




Kitchen/Home




This gourmet hot chocolate basket is a great gift to share with the whole family. Cozy up by the fire in your matching flannel PJs, open it on Christmas morning, and you can all enjoy a hot cup of coffee or hot chocolate as you watch the snow fall! (Or maybe just dream of the snow if you're in California)





This bar set is the perfect gift for your friend the host. Anyone who loves to host holiday parties, cocktail parties, and housewarming parties just for fun! Give them all they need to make any cocktail for their guests. It comes in 4 different finishes so be sure to find out which best matches the aesthetic in their home!















For your environmentally friendly friend! Metal straws in lots of colors, the trendy and practical Swell bottle, and the classic Tumblr. Get just one or indulge in all three but either way they will put them to use and hopefully spread the word about the importance of transitioning away from plastic.


21. Candle


Everyone knows candles are a girl's best friend. Have some fun with the scents and sizes of candles that Yankee Candle provides. From Chocolate Lava Cake and Vanilla Cupcake to Sparkling Cinnamon and Forest Pine. You can buy for the holidays or prepare for Summer. Maybe pair this gift with the spa basket so the important women in your life have some aromatherapy going on while they enjoy their bath!



Misc.


I bought this wallet for someone last Christmas and he couldn't have loved it more. Believe it or not, this wallet holds up to 12 credit cards, plus cash! just pinch one side and all the cards fan out so you can pick the right one. All the while, its still the thinnest wallet out there. If the men in your life are always complaining about sitting on their wallet or they've got a bulge in their front pocket from their bulky wallet, you might want to try this out. And it comes in multiple metals for your desired look and weight!





I know gift cards are simple but this is a nice reminder of the fun night out it could be for your parents or you and your partner. People love the movies and indulging in a big tub of popcorn and sugary soda, but it's so expensive these days. They'll love it if you take care of this annoying expense for them so they only experience the fun part of the outing! Pick the movie tickets, eat the snacks, and enjoy.




I saved the best for last. This is the gift I would most want to receive. Everyone has an idea of what nationalities make them up, but it's fascinating to learn the random places you would never imagine. Not only does it tell you where your ancestors come from but also which personality traits and behaviors you're most likely to display. This gift truly is for anyone and everyone and is something that will teach them about themselves. That is such a rare thing to be able to provide someone in a tangible way so I wouldn't hesitate to share this with those close to you.
