Personality-driven gifts! Think about who you are shopping for this season and make the gift be an extension of what they like to do… We’ve curated a handful of ideas for varying personalities and price points.
THE COLLEGIATE / TRAVELLER
From glasses and tumblers to pouches and pillows… show pride for your alma mater or find the perfect gift for the student you know at school with the collegiate collection from Cat Studio. Plus for those who love to travel or have special ties to cities or states, they have an amazing collection of items featuring states, cities and national landmarks.
What makes Cat Studio so unique is that all their products feature original artwork, craftsmanship, a love of travel and a twist of humor and nostalgia from their hand-embroidered accent throw pillows, drinking, barware glasses, dish towels, festive tea towels, woven pouches, and more, you’re guaranteed to find the perfect item for your family, and gift for friends too!
We also absolutely adore the entire Holiday Collection, we elevated our decor with 12 Days of Christmas and Nutcracker themed-items and had a little fun with North Pole and South Pole pillows.
THE ACTIVE
From moms on the go bustling about from activity to practice and pick up to the athletic, and men that want to take their style and comfort from work to play Travis Mathew has everything you need. Inspired from the culture and lifestyle of Southern California’s surf, sand and sun, the line is versatile with it’s everyday apparel that athletes to celebrities, and families across the board, all love this lifestyle brand. Every TravisMathew product is designed to deliver the perfect fit and a soft, lightweight feel. From polos, button downs, boardshorts, t-shirts and more, it is perfect for the active person in your life. We love TravisMathew because not only do their outfits look great but they are comfortable too.
One of our favorites is the the Cloud Collection. It features Travis Mathew’s softest and most comfortable products, all featuring the iconic plush fleece that feels like you’re wrapped in a cloud. The collection has sweatpants, hoodies, shorts and crewnecks that can be great for lounging around the house and even for long-haul travel days. Another favorite is the Open to Close Pant. It can take you from work to the weekend.
THE PHOTO LOVER / CRAFTER
Don’t keep all your photos from your holiday activities on your phone, but rather think about using your printer for more than work or copies, and use it as photo print center!
Literally all you need is some nice HP photo paper that can load into any computer and then you can print pictures at home. Varying sizes whether you’re picking out fun frames and giving as gift or you choose to DIY and create family ornaments or gift tags to give… a little washi tape and popsicle sticks go a long way!
THE ARTIST / INNER CHILD
Every kid, and most adults, still love to color or get creative tapping into their artistic side. Let’s stick with simple, inexpensive and re-useable, three reasons we love Crayola and especially their Wixels pixelated art sets that can be a stocking stuffer of perfect travel item if going the distance to Grandma’s house to seek out Santa.
The pixel art teaches concentration and patience in a creative way. These are great to put in the bag when you go to a restaurant, travel on the plane, or just need some non-screen activities. Pick up a few and let the creativity flow!
THE NOSTALGIC
You know you want to wake up Christmas morning in matching pajamas with your whole crew so the perfect Christmas Eve gift is just that — pjs that reflect your family personality, but all match too!
So whether you want classic, winter, movie-inspired like Elf or Polar Express, or even Star Wars Hanna Andersson has you covered. We love that all the pajamas are made from organic cotton and are a quality that allows for them to be kept in the family and handed down to other siblings.
We wear our pajamas for more than just sleeping too! We rock them on holiday activities like train rides, Santa’s Village, movie-themed nights and more. And if you’re looking for even more family matching, be sure to check out their sweaters and holiday attire as well.
