Each year, as September draws to a close and fall kicks into high gear, I start thinking about holiday gifts for all the important people in my life. From clients and team members to friends and family, finding the perfect gift is always a fun – and festive – challenge! Whether it’s a hostess, a coworker or anyone else on my list, my goal is a holiday gift to make the recipient feel seen, special and appreciated.
Finding the right gift can be extra challenging depending on how well you know (or don’t know!) your recipient. But even the smallest bit of information – an interest, their job or even their hometown - can help you find a spectacular gift for every person on your list. There’s no need to show up with another redundant, basic gift this holiday season. This list will help you personalize your gifts and wow every hostess, co-worker and client on your shopping list this year!

From busy professionals to overextended moms, self care gifts are a surefire hit for anyone who struggles to find time for themselves. If your client has a demanding or stressful job, consider a productivity planner to optimize their limited time. Moms, nurses and other caregivers are always pouring their time and energy into others. Look for a gift that encourages relaxation, like a luxurious scented candle, a calming face mask, or even a massage gun for a convenient, at-home indulgence.
