Holiday Gift Guide 2019
/We wanted to give you an update on Gray Oak Gives Back today, but we’re holding out until next week when we’ll have a really juicy update - mood boards and all! We’ll also reveal the wall color we chose. We put a poll on Instagram stories and had tons of guesses (at least 50% of the guesses were Revere Pewter by Benjamin Moore). While we fooled most of you (it’s not Revere Pewter), there were two correct guesses. You’ll have to wait one more week for the reveal.
But fear not because we have an equally awesome post for you today - our Holiday Gift Guide! And we think it’s the best we’ve ever pulled together. Just sayin. So, with plenty of time to get shopping, here are our ideas for everyone from you mother-in-law to your slightly annoying co-worker.
First up, vases and planters. These are great gifts for the hard to shop for people on your list.
Blue Flowery Vase - This colorful vase is a great hostess gift. Something small and pretty.
When Pigs Fly Hanging Planter - This whimsical hanging planter is so fun and so funny. We think it would make a great Secret Santa or Swap gift.
Girl Power Vase - For your favorite feminist, you know exactly who she (or he!) is.
Modern Fluted Bud Vases (set of 3) - These are universally beautiful and useful.
Minimalist Hygge Planter - This guy comes in several sizes and would be a great gift paired with a plant to go in it.
Rose Gold TRex - Give the gift of a plant, and this amazing planter, to a little one in your life! It’s an opportunity for him/her to nurture something more low maintenance than a pet.
Mini Cat Planters (set of 6) - The perfect gift for your cat friend. Because another cat mug will be 1 (…or 5) too many.
The Miniest Cactus Ever - Because. Just because.
Next up - Candles. Yes, a safe gift. But, also a really awesome gift if you give a good one. Candles are one of those things that you don’t want to spend money on for yourself, but you also don’t want to cheap out and get yourself a bad one. A bad candle is the worst. So, the candles below are amazing and, thus, amazing gifts.
Sea Salt Soy Candle - Even the packaging on this one feels pure and fresh.
Capri Blue Candle in Sparkly Gold Jar - Capri Blue candles have a cult following and this one (and number 7) come in extra pretty and festive jars.
Set of 3 Volupsa Mini Candles - When picking one scent is too much pressure, get the luxe variety pack.
The White Company Country Scent - Smells of moss and nature and fresh goodness.
Mokara Large Candle - People obsess over this candle, the Sephora website has something like 800 five star reviews.
Thank You, Mom - She’ll thank you back.
Awesome Gifts Under $50. This is a potpourri of fun, reasonably priced ideas.
Coffee is My Spirit Animal Tea Towel and I Fall Apart Tea Towel - These guys wrapped up with a dozen chocolate chip cookies (we highly recommend Sugah Butter Flour if you’re local) will be the perfect Yankee Swap gift.
Guided Gratitude Journal - This is such a feel good gift. For the right person, you’ll give them the tools to kick off the new year an action plan to make their resolution happen.
Salted Chocolate Caramel Peanut Bark - This will be the best gift someone receives this year. It could be from you.
Beautiful Recipe Box - Write your favorite recipe on one of the cards to personalize it.
2020 Planner - This is one of many gorgeous planners from Anthropologie.
Luggage Tag - For your favorite Jetsetter.
William Sonoma Guest Set (Winter Berry Scent) - This is a truly safe gift. And we all need one of these.
Mr. Rogers Mug - His sweater changes color when the mug if filled with hot liquid!!! How amazing is that?
Cutest Mini Desk Calendar Ever - It’s $8.50.
Awesome Gifts Over $50. This is a potpourri of fun, less reasonably priced gifts.
Pendleton Throw Blanket - I want one. It comes in blue (like above) and pink.
Handwritten Recipe Platter - We’ve featured this gift before because it’s just awesome. If you have a handwritten recipe from your nana, this is a great, great gift.
Indoor Herb Garden - It’s, allegedly, incredibly simple to grow happy herbs.
Weighted Blanket - They’re finally making beautiful weighted blankets. Functionally and aesthetically on trend. Winning.
Rocket Nightlight - This Etsy shop has a bunch of amazing, beautiful nightlights.
The Rihanna Book - No one will see this book and not want to flip through the pages. Meaning, it’s the ultimate coffee table book.
Polaroid Holiday Everything Box Set - We think adults and kids would love this one.
Phew. We did it. You read it. Thank you. Happy shopping!
