Friday Favorites–My FAVORITE Christmas Gifts 2022!

Happy Happy Friday!!!! This is my last work day for an ENTIRE WEEK!! I cannot wait to have Thanksgiving week off to spend with my family doing all the fun things (with lots of relaxation, too!).

I’m not going to do lots of gift guides like most bloggers, but I did want to share my most favorite things that I have and use that you might want to gift for someone in your life–or even buy for yourself!

ONE

I bought a Stanley Cup this past summer after watching influencers talk about them for a year. I thought having the 40 oz option at school would be better than the Yeti I was using previously that only held 24 oz. The verdict? I LOVE IT! I love only refilling it once at school. I love that it has a handle. You might think that it’s crazy to rave about a cup, but it really is a game changer when you utilize one every day. And I’ve even had a few teachers buy one this school year, too :). Not only would this be perfect for you, but it’s great to gift all the ladies in your family, too!

TWO

Okay y’all, I got this exact Nespresso Virtuo machine a few years ago for Christmas (I think before Harrison was born??) and I will never drink anything else. This froths the coffee as it makes it, so your coffee is a little thicker than normal. Then you can also froth milk in the frother if you make espresso instead of normal coffee. My favorite pods are the Starbucks light roast pods! I drink one cup every single morning and on special occasions, I’ll have two, but literally this coffee maker is the best ever! Oh, and I prefer it over buying coffee out–which is what Dustin was trying to stop when he bought me this for Christmas that year ha!

THREE

I’ve written about these Bible highlighters before, but they are the best! My mom bought them for me this past Easter and I most definitely prefer to use these in my Bible instead of underlining. I then bought these for my best friend as a gift, so they would even be cute teacher gifts because they are so inexpensive.

FOUR

Okay, so I don’t actually own this pair of Uggs, but they are on my list! I’ve been wearing my Ugg slippers for the past several years and especially on freezing days like today, I’d love to be able to wear a pair outside that isn’t the boot style. I first noticed this style last year, and at first I didn’t think it was cute, but I’ve since decided how useful this style could be with skinny jeans and a pullover.

FIVE

I own this and use it all the time! Did I ever think I’d need a wick trimmer? Nope, but it actually serves a great purpose. Right before I light a candle, I trim the wick so it isn’t smoky when I light it. Who knew this would be a functional item in my house?!

SIX

I bought this sunscreen this past summer to wear on days I didn’t wear makeup so that I could have a little color on my face. It’s actually turned into a sunscreen that I wear every day as primer before I put my foundation on. It’s subtle color but I would not recommend this for anyone who deals with oily skin. This would be perfect for y’all who have dry to normal skin (maybe even combination!!) because it does give you a dewy look. This link is for a pack of 2, so one for you and one as a gift!

SEVEN

THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST FACE WASH I HAVE EVER USED!!!!! I will never use anything else! I have gone through maybe 3 or 4 jars and will continue to use this forever. When I first bought it, it was weird opening it up and thinking I was about to put vaseline on my dry face in order to take my make up off, but y’all, it has washed my face better than anything and does not leave my face dry. Give it a shot because I promise it won’t disappoint!

EIGHT

I use this moisturizer after I was my face, and a little goes a long way. My skin is weird and will be dry for a few months and then be combination skin after that–so strange! I have used this moisturizer through it all and it’s never broken me out or done anything strange to my face.

Now I’d love to hear what’s on your Christmas list!
