Gift Ideas for Adults

Last week I posted my annual gift guide for kids and this week I am back to share my favorite items for adults in this adult gift guide! These are items that I personally have gifted or been gifted, or have been recommended by friends and family who have them. So you are sure to find something great for all the grown ups on your holiday shopping list this year.

1. Dash Air Fryer ($49.99) – Air fryers make quick work of getting dinner on the table, so this would make a great gift for any busy parent on your list. This version is compact and lightweight and comes with an auto-shut off function, making it super safe for families. Bonus – it comes in several cute colors.
2. I bought this John Hart Weekender earlier this year as a birthday gift to myself, and its the first bag I grab when packing for any trip. The coated canvas is super durable and the leather accents are high quality. All of their bags are handcrafted in South Texas and can be personalized with names or monograms. ($299)
3. I know a few people who are constantly misplacing their glasses and could benefit from this glasses stand. It can be personalized with a name or cute message for your special person. ($34.74)
4. I purchased this personalized “First Christmas in our New Home” ornament for my sister last year and she absolutely loved it! The Etsy seller was great to work with on my customization requests and the ornament looked even better in person. ($9.37)
5. I’m gifting this tile mat to a special person on my list this year and I love how many tile colors are available to fit anyone’s style. This is a great gift for that homebody on your list that loves to change decor often. ($75)
6. More plants. That’s really the answer to everything. I’ve ordered plants from The Sill for Mother’s Day, birthdays, and just because. They ship live plants straight to your door and it couldn’t be easier. You can choose by style, light preference, or benefits, and each plant comes with a care card so you know exactly when and how to water it. (Prices vary)
7. This Judith March Leopard Bag is so fun I’ve gifted it twice already. Make sure to check the size before ordering because it was a little smaller in person that I thought it was going to be, but this bag can be used for a multitude of things. I love that it can be customized with glam letters and fun tassels. ($28 + customization)
8. Parents and Grandparents are sure to love this digital photo frame. With built-in WiFi, anyone can send pictures from any smartphone to be added to the photo rotation. ($129.99)
9. With the amount of packages we all receive these days, this box cutter is sure to be a hit. The unique design makes it safer than a utility knife – I think my 6 year old could even use this. It would make a great stocking stuffer too! ($18.99)
10. Team Cozy Sweatshirt ($35) – 100% of proceeds from this line of clothing by the ladies behind A Beautiful Mess are donated to charity. So you can feel good while wearing your comfy sweater and feel good about your purchase.
11. These are the most comfortable pants I have ever owned. The Vuori Performance Joggers are soft and flattering and everything you need from loungewear. ($84)
12. I tossed this StudBuddy Stud Finder into several stockings last year, including my husband’s, and I’m pretty sure I use it more than he does. It’s magnetic, so it sticks to the wall when you slide it over a drywall nail or screw. This little tool is a must have and makes hanging things on the wall a total breeze. ($9.97)
13. I’ve decided that this is the holiday season of bags! Everyone can always use another bag, right? This Scout Bag is big and durable, and can handle a ton of cargo – whether you’re taking it to the beach or using it to transport holiday gifts. And bonus, they fold flat for easy storage. ($59)
14. And yet, another bag option for ya! Ya’ll, bags are so versatile. I know the men in my life can always use a new Dopp Kit and this personalized one from Etsy is a great choice. Handmade in Texas of full grain leather – you can’t go wrong with this gift. ($55)
15. When I first saw these moulding mitre snips in action, I wondered how I’d never heard of them before. Perfect for the DIYer on your list, these are used for cutting all types of small moulding, including PVC, MDF and pine. ($20.97)
16. This Phantom Ice Maker is perfect for the home bartender on your list. Choose from spheres, cubes, or spears (or buy them all) so they can wow guests with crystal clear ice in their next old fashioned. ($100)
17. Your crafty friend is sure to love this plant based dye kit. Each kit comes with an all natural dye mixture for dying any natural fiber fabric – the possibilities are endless! ($48)
18. These super cute first aid kits would make great stocking stuffers (even for kiddos!). They’re perfect for on the go and the bandages come in lots of colors and patterns. ($26.99)

Don’t forget to check out my gift guide for kids, and many of the products on last year’s lists are still available too!
