We’ve made it to the last week of November, with Thanksgiving in just a few days. This week, I’ll be sharing my annual holiday home tour, along with lots of gift ideas- if you’re planning to take advantage of sales this week. Today, I have an exciting giveaway to kick off the holiday season! I’m leaving you with the best gifts from Amazon… things I’ve tried, saved, highly recommend, and loved here at home this year. Amazon started their Black Friday promotions over the weekend, so the majority of these are on sale now. Click through for 15 thoughtfully sorted & curated guides with over 300 items. As always, it’s all clickable and collaged like a magazine. I hope these are fun, helpful, and spark some good ideas if you’re crossing items off your gift list! The giveaway details are inside…
This post is sponsored by Amazon. All content, ideas, and words are my own. Thank you for supporting the brands that allow me to create unique content while featuring products we actually use & enjoy!
If you missed my main annual gift guide (from multiple sources & small businesses with over 700 items), be sure to check it out here: Holiday Gift Guide. It’s one I’m proud to share every holiday. If you’re looking for wrapping inspiration… I’ve also got you covered! Be sure to give my classic monochromatic gift wrap for a classy gift aesthetic. Ready to dive in? Here’s what I’m loving this year from Amazon…
Room for Tuesday Amazon Gift Guide
To shop my gift guides, click directly on the items within each collage.
Keep on scrolling or click the table of contents (above) to jump around- this is another lengthy gift guide, and I’ve tried to make it as easy to navigate as possible. Let me know if you have questions about anything! I’m here to help and make your holidays a bit easier- that’s always my goal. You can also skip these and head over to my Amazon storefront if you prefer browsing over there… though I hope you enjoy my extra commentary and ideas, here.
Gifts for Her
When I think of gifts for her… I think of my girlfriends, our moms, sisters, my grandmother, and the women I feel closest to. I tried to keep universal luxuries and self care in mind when assembling this guide, because most of the women who fall into this category are consistently putting others first. These gifts are reminders to carve out a little time for yourself. Take the bath, indulge in the fancy shampoo, light a candle, eat the chocolate, have a glass of wine, or snuggle up with a good book.
Gifts for Him
Emmett pulled together this gift guide for me based on his current favorite things. He’s been using the same soap and cologne for years… which I’ll admit, I also use because it smells so good. I do appreciate his practical side. He’s the guy who can always help open a package with his pocket knife, jump start a dead battery, or tackle a project. He owns and loves every single one of these things, excluding the luggage tag- which I added, thinking it would be such a thoughtful, budget-friendly gift!
Stocking Stuffers
I always have the most fun curating stocking stuffers! I welcome the creative challenge to find inexpensive or small sized, yet really amazing gifts. From hand sanitizer & hand warmers to cozy socks and coasters to rest a cup of tea this winter, these thoughtful gifts are sure to be appreciated. These are some personal favorites from my own collection.
Gifts for Couples
These picks are perfect for newlyweds, couples, close family members, or housewarming holiday gifts. I tried to think of home essentials that felt timeless and functional. That knife set continues to serve our household very well… and the packaging is pretty enough to gift as is, with a simple ribbon tied around the wood box.
Travel Gifts
Many of you know, one of my passions is travel. Experiencing new places, trying new food, making memories, and immersing myself in different cultures feels very exciting to me during this stage of life. I’m lucky to have traveled across the world and have no plans of stopping. That said, I’m well versed in the essentials that make getting there more comfortable… noise cancelling headphones, organized luggage, bluetooth adapters, packing cubes, and white noise are a few of my favorites. All of these make excellent gifts for the jet setters in your life!
Gifts for the Host
With festive holiday parties to attend, never show up empty-handed. You don’t need to spend a fortune on a gift for the host- it could be as simple as a bottle of wine with a napkin set, a tea towel, soap, or even a recipe marked inside your favorite cookbook… these thoughtful gestures are always special.
Beauty Gifts
I’d like to think I’m pretty minimal when it comes to my beauty and skincare routine… until I curate a gift guide. Then I realize just how many devices, products, or preferences I have. Ha. Believe it or not, I have, love, and use all of these items except the cordless lit cosmetic mirror (which I’m contemplating). Feel free to ask about any of these products. I’m always happy to share my personal experience if you’re considering any of these for yourself or someone on your list!
Gifts for the Home
When it comes to gifts for the home, this is where I excel (humble brag)… and to be fair- I think most of my friends & family have come to expect home-related gifts from me. It’s what I know best, my area of expertise, and I feel great about all of these recommendations. You can’t go wrong! They have my designer stamp of approval.
Pet Gifts
Obviously we treat our dogs as family members in this house, so they get a couple Christmas gifts as well. They actually love opening stockings… it’s so fun to watch their excitement. These are some tried & true favorites. Order the Furbo at your own risk though- they’ve come to expect treats from it, and will sit in front of it for hours if the light is turned on.
Kitchen Gifts
I’m picky about what I bring into our kitchen, but these sort of items make outstanding gifts. These are all fabulous. Anytime I’m gifting a kitchen item, I try to attach a family recipe to make it more personal… just a fun little gifting tip!
Appliance Gifts
Every Black Friday or Cyber Week, the big ticket appliance items are marked way down. It’s a great time to invest in them for your own home- or for gifts. For me, it’s difficult to determine which appliances will actually be helpful and will be used often. Everything in this collage we own and use… the one exception is the Dream Cooker, but so far- it has wonderful reviews. I’m wondering if it will replace standard slower cookers? We’ll see about that one. The electric wine opener is always my go-to gift for Secret Santa or White Elephant. It’s less than $10 and we’ve been using ours over 7 years now, which we received in a gift swap… the gift that keeps giving!
Gifts for Kids
While I’m not a parent, I’ve enlisted the help of my mom friends to compile a thoughtful (and very cute!) kids gift guide. You can never go wrong with a book or something creative for the kids in your life. We’ve gifted variations of these to our nieces and nephews over the years, though they’re older now (see their teen picks below).
Gifts for Teens
We have 13 nieces and nephews, most are teenagers at this point (making me feel very old). I’m told skincare, cozy gifts, music, and gaming gifts are all “in”… which certainly isn’t a new concept for teens. Emmett plays the gaming controller with our nephew often. Our nieces are always bargaining trips to Sephora or Ulta for cosmetics. Personally, I’m a big believer in gifting experiences- especially as they get older. Don’t forget about those!
Tech Gifts
Tech is one of those topics I rely on my digital savvy friends for. From this collage, I do love our frame TV (the gilded frame is also linked), my headphones, smart bulbs & plugs, the hatch alarm, and our Pura devices. This is a really good guide if you appreciate smart home features that look aesthetically pleasing!
Foodie Gifts
I’ve been a fan of gourmet food gifts since I was a kid. I loved going to the office during the holiday season with my parents to find a big Harry & David basket of goodies on the front desk to pick through. I’m also a foodie, so I’d like to believe delectable and delicious gifts are always a hit that are never wasted. Food gifts are also my favorite to receive… chocolates, macarons, ice cream, you name it- I love it. These are easy crowd pleasers, in my opinion. They work for everyone on your list!
If you’re looking for more ideas, these guides barely scratch the surface of what I’ve saved and curated over on my Amazon page. I’ve compiled organized lists for all sorts of things, filled with good finds…
Amazon Gift Card Giveaway
Amazon has kindly sent me two $500 gift cards to giveaway on Instagram. Make sure you’re following me here: @roomfortuesday. This giveaway is strictly for my social channel (per their request), but I wanted to make sure my blog readers were in the know! I’ll be sharing details over there and will choose the winners in one week. I’ll have the post up shortly and will let you know!
Let me know if you have questions about any of the items in the comment section below. I’m happy to share more, brainstorm, or elaborate! If you enjoyed the guide or found it helpful- please feel free to share it with friends & family… it’s much appreciated. I hope these have been helpful, and I hope two of you snag the $500 gift cards! Happy holidays, friends. I sure do enjoy putting these together, so I hope you’re able to save some money and snag deals if you’re shopping Amazon’s Black Friday event this week. See you back here on Wednesday for our annual holiday tour!
