December 2025 Gift Guides Roundup

It’s time to share what I’ve been posting over on my LTK account! I started this series because I didn’t want you to miss out on free content in case you’re not following along on LTK or Instagram, so I’ll be posting a roundup here on the blog at the end of each month to help inspire your home décor brainstorming. Don’t forget to click all the way through to LTK (links are included in the paragraph explanations below) to get direct linked access to all of the pieces in each collection.

Gifts For Bookworms:

Putting together a whole collection of gifts that bookworms would love was super easy for me since I’m a bit of a book nerd myself. That said, I tried to choose things that I don’t think a book lover would necessarily treat themselves to—like an ergonomic book stand for their lap, a personal library kit (complete with check-out date stamp!), a custom book embosser, and colorful handmade bookmarks. I’ve personally got my eye on the graphic printed sweatshirt. Get the rest of the links to this gift collection on my LTK here.

Gifts For Pet Lovers:

Got a friend or family member who’s head-over-heels in love with their pets? They’re some of the easiest folks to shop for because a thoughtful gift for their fur baby feels like a gift for them! I know this because I also strongly identify with this gifting group. For this collection, I tried to find a good mix of presents that a pet-loving human could use themselves, plus gifts for their actual cats and dogs. I would be giddy to receive any of these pet-themed presents come Christmas morning, especially the customized tote bag for our pup’s away-from-home necessities, this quote-able ball cap, and this cheeky art print. I’ve also got my eye on the pretty paw print name bracelet. I think my sister would love that, too. Shop the rest of the gift guide this way.

Gifts For Home Cooks:

I love how easy it is these days to shop for home cooks. The amount of cool kitchen gadgets on the market seems to have grown exponentially, and now you can find all sorts of time-saving gifts that look cool in any wannabe chef’s meal prep space. This toast-themed cookbook feels like a really unique gift to inspire new meal ideas, this all-in-one avocado knife is one my personal go-to gifts for foodies, the custom branding iron is a neat idea for those in your life who love to grill, and I can’t help but plug my own handmade vertical spoon rest! You can get all of the links to the pieces in this gift guide here.

P.S. I’ll be taking the rest of the year off to spend time with my family for Christmas and New Years, but I’ll be back on Tuesday, January 6, with an updated blog post all about our current meal-planning process to help inspire you to save time and money in 2026. Hope you have a great wrap-up to the year! If you’d like to hear my own thoughts on 2025, click this link to read my last newsletter of the year.
