Check out this year’s round-up of products that will make great stocking stuffers and holiday gifts!
Wanderfull HydroBag
When I’m running errands or at an event, I like having my hands free so that I can manage tasks and look up things on my phone. I also like having my water bottle on-hand and that’s why the HydroBag from Wanderfull is perfect for me!

Not only does it have a storage area for your reuseable water bottle, but there are pockets for your daily essentials like cellphone, driver’s license, and credit card.
BunBebes Plushies
BunBebes are a line of plushies that are super cute, round, and soft. Halo the Yellow Tie-Dye Cat is a 7″ plushie and Kokua the Husky is a 5″ plush toy.
BunBebes are so snuggly and cute. What I like about BunBebes is that not only do they bring comfort and joy to the kids who own one, but the company has a giveback component, where a portion of every purchase supports the Healing Pals Foundation. This organization matches children battling illnesses with loving animal companions, funding the adoption fees, training, and essential care costs for the first year.
The Crush Dictionary & Recipe Book
This book contains a collection of crush-inspired definitions and milkshake recipes to go along with it. “The Crush Dictionary & Recipe Book” is written and illustrated by Brianna Daus, a children’s book author/illustrator based in Virginia.
The illustrations are adorable and the recipes (see Salted Caramel Milkshake below) are yummy! This book would be great for tweens to use during sleepovers, as it encourages friends to chat about their crushes while blending up sweet drinks!
Well-Rested Every Day
My personal goal in 2026 is to start the day with reflection instead of reaching for my phone and looking at social media. “Well Rested Every Day” written by Jolene Hart offers 365 ideas to inspire pause, including simple tips and recipes for body restoration, rituals for presence and stillness, practical applications of cutting-edge rest science, and guidance on shifting mindsets that hinder the ability to rest. I intend to wake up in the morning and read one suggestion so that I can kick off the day with an intention!
This book will make a great holiday gift for someone looking to have a rest-focused lifestyle.
Super Cute Capybaras
Who doesn’t love a capybara? These cute animals (they’re from the rodent family) are related to guinea pigs. “Super Cute Capybaras” is a coloring book from Running Press, a division of the Hachette Book Group (HBG).
If you’re looking to relax, calm your mind, and step into the world of cozy creatures, then this is the book for you!
Hello Kitty and Friends: The Cookbook
“Hello Kitty and Friends: The Cookbook” by Jenn Fujikawa is terrific holiday gift for Sanrio fans. The cookbook contains an illustrated collection of 60 fun and delicious recipes from comfort meals to reimagined classic dishes.
Hello Kitty and her friends have you covered for breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks, and dessert, including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. Standouts for me include My Melody Raspberry Fizz and Chococat Chocolate Chip Cookies.
Cheese Magic: Seasonal Recipes, Plates, and Pairings
My daughter has a sweet tooth, but I’m a savory snacker. Cheese and crackers are my weakness, which is why I was drawn to “Cheese Magic: Seasonal Recipes, Plates, and Pairings” written by Erika Kubick, a renowned cheesemonger.
The recipes are accompanied by Devin Forst’s beautiful illustrations, along with eye-popping photography. This cookbook is perfect for the cheese enthusiast!
So, there you have it! These are my suggestions for gift giving not just during the holidays, but year-round!

I am always holding a water bottle. That water bottle purse is something that I need.
Oh thank you, you have so many fabulous things here. I need to pick up a few more gifts, so these are perfect.
