the 20-something’s gift guide:: holidays 2024!

back again with one of my absolute favorite posts every. single. year! this year, i did something a little different & broke it up into multiple gift guides for the girls in your life…or yourself! i’m definitely not judging! we’ve got gift guides for the wellness girl, the cozy girl, the pilates girl & yogis, & a gift guide for general girlhood! if you’re needing a little inspo for your wishlist, take a look!

is there anything better than being a girl? i sometimes go back & forth, especially during that time of the month… if you know what i mean. *sigh, well i still love being a girl! & these are a few of my favorite things about being a girl:: my kindle, silk pillowcases, soft & perfectly-tinted lips, jewelry to elevate any outfit, & the cutest hair accessories!

okay well hi, yes, this one is absolutely me. this gift guide includes my favorite wellness tracker, my favorite at-home workout mat, & a few items on my own christmas wishlist to help me body, mind, & spirit! in addition to creating just the most vibey, wellness-y space (i’m looking at you red light & non-toxic candle!)

okay this was maybe my favorite one to make! i own 6 of these items already & absolutely love them & utilize them all daily to create the most cozy, holiday, wfh vibes! these pilates socks are a new find thanks to my sister, & they have the most adorable embroidery to really take the coziness up to 10!

is there anything more motivating than new workout equipment or a workout outfit? the answer is no…absolutely not. again, some of these items i own, love, & use daily, & some of them are definitely on my own wishlist this year!

& finally, for the girl obsessed with yoga! i’ll be honest, i need someone to guide me through my yoga practices because i just rush all the movements, but maybe if i had some vibey yoga gear i would be more motivated to go slower & enjoy it a bit more? only getting them as gifts will tell!

if you’re wondering which items i own & love, then here is a list!

  • the stakt yoga mat has been a go-to of mine for years! such a wonderful & versatile workout mat! (my link gets you 10% off!)

  • lululemon align bodysuit:: truly a pelvic floor physical therapist’s dream because it has no waistband & can truly allow for all the flow… both in a physical, movement sense & a digestive sense!

  • lululemon align leggings:: truly the best, comfiest, & most versatile leggings. another item that is a pelvic floor physical therapist’s dream because it has a stretchy, non-restrictive waistband!

  • bala bangles:: i use these at least 3x/week in my pilates workouts or to add a bit of resistance to my strength workouts if i don’t have the right “in between” size dumbbell!

  • kindle:: so many books, so little time! it is so portable for travel & truly is one of the best gifts for the reader in your life!

  • silk pillowcases:: my husband actually bought us these for christmas one year! he must love luscious locks, too! it’s washable & reasonably priced, so we love them! & they come in so many different colors. we have the black & champagne color, but i bet we order a new color this year!

  • silk pajamas:: maybe i need a new set of these this year, too? i love the new back on the tank! i have a short sleeve & shorts set in the navy & black & love them both! they’re also washable & such a reasonable price!

  • laniege lip mask:: nothing makes my lips feel more nourished. i use this at night, when traveling, & just when my lips need a little extra hydration! it is also so much better in this container compared to out of the tube.

  • summer friday’s jet lag mask:: seriously the most moisturizing mask. i definitely use this primarily at night because it is thickkk, but you wake up feeling so moisturized!

  • summer friday’s lip butter balm:: i’ve used a lot of their colors & love them all! you can’t go wrong. i also love layering them with different lip liners…they stay so well!

  • anthro mug:: okay i don’t have this exact anthro mug, but i have 3 others & they’re all amazing. i wish we had more cabinet space because i love collecting various mugs! & i love this astrological sign one. so fun!

  • oura ring:: i love this. end of story. it has helped transform my health & wellness journey in the best way. cycle tracking, sleep tracking, activity tracking, & so much more. it modifies your goals based on your overall health & wellness status, so you never feel pressured to just “reach the numbers”. 10/10

okay well that is the 2024 holiday gift guide!! which is really just my own loves & items on my wishlist. i hope it gives you some inspo, & if you use any of the links on this page you are supporting me & my business! a huge thank you if you choose to support me in that way :) love you guys! what do y’all think of some of these gifts? let me know!

xoxo,

in health & happiness,
