Everyone plays an important role — so these gifts are all thoughtfully curated by taking into consideration those special places they hold in your heart.
Gifts for Her
Be certain that you won't go wrong with something meaningful that resonates with her on a deeper level. Think about her personality, her interests, her little quirks. Maybe she's all about classic style or prefers trendier items. Whatever her preferences, you've got lots of options!
For a parent or grandparent who loves to decorate for the season, the Berried Wreath is a beautiful accent. This premium balsam fir wreath is hand-decorated in our shop with pine cones, real juniper berries, artificial red berries and a lush, chevron velvet red bow. For those who appreciate the beauty of a stunning bloom, there's the exquisite Double Royal Velvet Amaryllis. It's housed within a chic rectangular planter and is practically guaranteed to catch the eye no matter where it's placed.
A box of chocolates is always a safe choice, but you can elevate this gift with a few additional treats. Start with a bottle of her favorite wine, a bottle of ODE Verde Hand & Body Lotion, and a pretty bouquet or plant like the Mini Christmas Cactus to complete the surprise. It's little treats like these that are sure to warm her heart.
Gifts for Him
Whether it's your dad, boyfriend, husband, brother, uncle, or another VIP guy on your list, you want to make sure he knows how much you value him. The holiday season is a fantastic time to go all out in his honor!
The Coffee Lover's Holiday Gift Basket is the perfect treat for anyone who cherishes their coffee moments. It features a special holiday-release coffee beans from Partners Coffee, Sydney Hale's Eucalyptus + Sage Candle, and a mini succulent in Mateo pot - all in a modern wooden gift box. Miracle On North 6th Street coffee beans is a festive blend of coffees from Africa and Central America that captures the spirit of the holidays with comforting flavors of sweet orange, honey, cranberry, and warm spice-mulled wine.
If he's a nature lover with an appreciation for simple things, a plant that he can add to his living space is just the thing. One that never fails to impress is the Snake Plant Zeylanica – Grande. Grand in both style and size, it's known for its low-maintenance needs, so even if he doesn't exactly know his way around the garden, he'll appreciate it!
Gifts for Kids
You might think it will be easiest to shop for the little ones — until you're inundated with lists touting what's 'hot' for the season or tripping all over yourself in an effort to find the coveted toy of the year. When waitlists are miles long, it's usually best to set your sights elsewhere.
Fortunately, there are plenty of alternatives that are sure to thrill the children on your list. Wooden toy sets that channel the simple charm of yesteryear are especially popular right now, and they offer kids the chance to build their motor skills while instilling in them confidence and pride as they create everything from dollhouses to railways.
For the kid who's got a sweet tooth — which likely describes many of them — there are plenty of tasty treats that will bring an instant smile to their lips. COCO Sour Apple Sweets are extra cute, tasty, and melt in the mouth. Sourced from the UK, they'll make the littles giggle thanks to their fun shape and flavor. Many parents will appreciate that they're both vegan and free of palm oil, too. You can also find Tangy Fizzy Cherries from the COCO range.
Gifts for the Host
They spend more than their fair share of time planning epic parties and throwing lavish gatherings that are the talk of your friend circle for weeks to come. Why not show your appreciation with something that expresses how grateful you are for their efforts?
A truly fashionable and seasonal candle is always a lovely choice. The Wild Mint & Ivy Candle is a wonderful example. A combination of wild mint, eucalyptus, and ivy for an energizing, bright scent. Notes of geranium, rose, oakmoss, patchouli, and cedarwood bring an added depth to this refreshing fragrance. Perfect for an evening spent curled up on the couch.
If you're looking for something more upscale, consider giving a stunning centerpiece like Crimson. There's no question that it's a showstopper, destined to take their breath away at first glance and certain to fill them with joy every time they look its way. The beautiful arrangement incorporates all manner of festive colors and flowers, from peonies and roses to hydrangeas and orchids, all carefully nestled in a handsome rectangular container that takes center stage while they're hosting dinner. Finish with a pretty card, like the Simply Beautiful greeting card, that offers a blank space for you to express your appreciation for all they do.
Gifts for Coworkers
They're forever by your side, sharing professional experiences, offering invaluable advice, and providing support when you need it the most. Even if you aren't particularly close, you can safely say that some of your coworkers are truly invaluable to you.
For the coworker who isn't quite your best friend but definitely brightens your day, something like the Mini Marble Poinsettia in Foil makes a wonderful surprise. It's an instant mood-lifter, with its rich blush hue and its obviously festive ties. Featuring at least three to five blooms, the plant is contained within a grower's pot that's wrapped in holiday-worthy foil that will instantly liven up their desktop.
Got a coworker who's more like your workplace spouse — the person you know will always be there if things get a little rocky or you simply need a mid-day pick-me-up? The Decorated Boxwood Tree is a true delight, brimming with holiday charm from top to bottom. They'll think of you every time they look its way, and if you know they love this time of the year, you can bet it will be an enormous hit!
Gifts for Friends
Your friends are the real MVPs, no doubt about it. They're there to lift you up when your spirits are low, when the tears fall, when you can't get up, and when you just need more energy than you have to give. The closest friends love you whether you're at your best or lowest points.
For the dear friend who brings endless joy to your world, return the favor with Season's Blooms. This lovely, gilded pot is filled with a fresh medley of cymbidium orchids and lush red roses, along with fresh pine boughs. The result is the ultimate holiday arrangement, perfect for bringing a dose of good cheer to their desktop, side table, or anywhere that could use a little color for the holiday season.
Want to make your holiday season extra special? Set some plans in stone with your friend. Make sure they know you're carving out some together time, a gift unto itself if the two of you rarely have much time to spend together. You might make reservations at your favorite restaurant or opt for the Chocolates & Candle Gift Box for a cozy evening at home. Snacks, sweet treats, and warm candlelight create the perfect backdrop for reconnecting and making memories.
Gifts for Pet Owners
It's fun to get creative when deciding what to give your favorite pet parent. Fortunately, the list of possible gifts for someone who's a proud cat or dog owner is long. You could aim high with a plush pet bed that's sure to keep their furry companion comfortable for hours and hours. How about a multi-tier tree for their feline to enjoy hours of playtime?
You could also make the gift more personal. Choose a sentimental image of the person with their pet and have it printed on a coffee mug or a tote bag. If you're pretty crafty, you could even knit a bed or a sweater for their pet. Give yourself plenty of time if you're planning to do this!
If they're dog owners, the Wild One Treat Pouch Orchid will undoubtedly bring them joy. With spacious compartments for their personal belongings and their on-the-go treats. It can be worn as a fannypack or crossbody bag depending on their walk style. If you're buying them a plant, make sure that it's pet-friendly if they've got a fur baby in the house. The Classic 1-Stem Phalaenopsis in Ceramic is a chic and lovely choice, while the Calathea Medallion adds a stylish finish to their space.
Gifts for Service Workers
Service workers can include anyone who provides you with invaluable help during the year, be it your housekeeper, gardener, mail carrier, or child's teacher. These individuals put so much energy and time into doing good for others — and it's such a nice gesture to return that favor at this time of the year.
Given that they may be a bit weary and more than welcome this brief respite at the end of the year, they are sure to appreciate the wonderful Los Poblanos Signature Farm Foods Crate. A selection of signature herb blends, southwestern spices, and flavorful condiments highlight the unique flavors and culinary culture of New Mexico and are all handcrafted on the Los Poblanos farm.
It's customary to express your gratitude, so why not do it with the lovely Thank You Circle Greeting Card? This pretty masterpiece comes with a complementary envelope, and the inside is left blank for your message.
