Maybe it’s because I’ve been blogging for so long, but putting together gift guides always feels like a big, overwhelming task. but when it comes to rounding up my absolute favorite gifts to give every year, that’s when I get excited! To me, these holiday gift recommendations are the best of the best. They are either things that have been given to me that I absolutely adore… or items that I’ve personally given and the recipient has loved. Or simply just items that I think will make great gifts! So without further ado, here are my favorite gifts to give for 2022!
My Favorite Gifts to Give for Pretty Much Anyone on Your List
Washable Silk Tee Set
One of my best friends gave me this set last year as a Christmas gift and I have been absolutely in love with it ever since. Not only is the silk super soft and smooth, it’s a very comfortable set to sleep in. Plus, if you’re a hot sleeper like me, chances are that you’ll love that this luxe pajama set is thermoregulating and helps to maintain a comfortable body temperature!
Fresh Midwest: Modern Recipes from the Heartland
My pal Maren wrote this cookbook and it’s phenomenal — just wait til you see the hot dish chapter! The recipes are delicious and approachable. Plus the photography is beautiful and I love reading about Maren’s family traditions. I highly recommend this cookbook as a gift for anyone who loves to cook and entertain.
Needlepoint Pillow
Looking for a gift for that friend who has a wicked sense of humor? This needlepoint pillow from Furbish is simply perfect. Each pillow is hand embroidered, making it a bit more special. Plus, there are tons of different sayings to choose from… shop the entire collection here.
Monogrammed Signet Ring
A signet ring will always be in style… as will anything monogrammed. This year, I love the idea of giving this dainty, handmade ring with a customizable initial letter. It’s a great gift for your mom, sisters, or best friend.

The Marshmallow 2.0 Faux Fur Throw Blanket
There’s soft and then there is soft. And this blanket is the latter. It’s insanely silky and fluffy, plus has a great weight to it for therapeutic purposes. It’s a bit of a splurge, but given that it’s the best faux fur I have ever felt in my life, I think it’s well worth it!
2023 Moon Calendar from Rani Ban
Rani Ban is one of my favorite illustrators and artists, making this calendar a great gift. It features birth flowers and Zodiac signs, plus all of the moon phases in Rani’s signature quirky style. It’s also available in two sizes!
Coldfront Down Mittens
This genderless gift is truly one of my faves! Come winter, I use my pair almost daily. I love that they are lightweight and water-resistant, but the best part is how warm they keep my hands. These mittens are the perfect practical gift for anyone on your list!
Bonne Maman 2022 Limited Edition Advent Calendar
The ideal gift for the foodie, preserves lover, or holiday enthusiast in your life, this charming advent calendar is delicious, too! I got one for Andy last year and was envious of him all year long as he opened new jellies, spreads, and honeys for his morning toast. Makes a great gift for your kid’s teacher or boss, too.
Maison Margiela ‘REPLICA’ By The Fireplace Scented Candle
Meet my newest candle obsession! With notes of clove oil, chestnut accord and vanilla accord, this candle is so cozy. And it really does remind me of hanging out around the fire! I love giving luxe designer candles as holiday gifts and always encourage the recipient to actually burn the candle instead of ‘saving it.’
So what do you think of this list of my favorite gifts to give this year?? I hope you’ve found this list helpful, especially since I am publishing it even earlier this year!
