Happy December. We thought we’d ring in the most festive month of the year appropriately — with holiday gift guides featuring our editors’ top present picks.
Scroll to shop, get inspired, and maybe even snag a locally made gift or two, courtesy of Connor’s and Rilee’s exquisite taste.
Oversized Satin Scrunchie, $14 | “These oversized scrunchies are the perfect way to look cute and feel comfy (you’ll even find me wearing one while writing the newsletter most days). The Matilda pattern with unicorns speaks to me, but you can choose your favorite pattern and match it with a twist turban to complete the look.”
Swan Earrings, $18 | “I love a subtle nod to Lakeland’s history, and these swan dangle earrings do the trick. Did I mention that they’re made by hand right here in Swan City?”
Cosmopolitan Candle, $26 | “Tis the season to shop sustainable. Give someone a delicious smelling candle, then it does double-duty when they use as a drinking glass.”
Guohaoi Knitted Weighted Blanket, $129.99 | “I recently received a weighted blanket as a gift and I can confirm that it gives me the best sleep of my life. This knitted version is the perfect way to stay cozy this season and soothe those holiday stresses.”
Personalized Oval Signet Ring, $110.43 | “A stocking stuffer is better when it’s personalized. I love that this this ring is both trendy and classic, and you can choose whatever you want it to say.”
Secluded Rustic Cabin Vrbo stay, priced per night | “My family loves taking roadtrips to a cabin in the Blue Ridge Mountains in winter. If your family loves experiences over material gifts, consider going in together on a vacation this year.”
Rosario Print and Earring Bundle, $28 | “What’s better than a bundle? I love finding new art and new jewelry, so when I saw that this set includes both, it was an instant add to my wishlist. I especially love the way the earrings match the ones in the painting.”
The Book Loft Jigsaw Puzzle, $30 | “Nothing gets me in the holiday spirit quite like a good puzzle. While the satisfaction of placing that last piece is always nice, it’s even better when I know I’ve worked on it with a loved one, making this the perfect gift to give at the beginning of the holiday season or a family celebration.”
Lkld Girl hat, $28 | “Take it from a professional Lakeland girl — this hat is perfect for everything from grocery runs at Publix to walks around the lake, standing in line at Born & Bread, and toasting to a successful year at Swan Brewing.”
The Blue Luxury Jersey City Vrbo stay, $230 per night | “Tom Hanks said it best: “Don’t you love New York in the fall?” If you’re anything like me, you do. Whether you’re hunting for autumn leaves and city skylines or a scenic mountain retreat, a destination gift is one of the best things you can give — plus, you don’t have to wrap it.”
Floral Tote Bag, $24.85 | “I’ve never gotten more compliments on a bag than I have on this floral tote. In the best way, it reminds me of my grandmother — both for its beautiful pattern and dependability.”
Pura Smart Home Fragrance, $71.99 | “As much as I love a candle, I’ve become completely obsessed with Pura’s smart diffusers. This would be a great gift for anyone who loves to keep their home smelling fresh, especially if they like to automate home functions in a convenient app.”

Brianna: “I’ve recently ditched the purse for a fanny pack to go totally hands-free while walking around town, which is why I’m eyeing these colorful fanny packs from Burlaep. (Pair it with this cute embroidered baseball cap and you’ve got a perfect city ‘fit.)”
Dayten: “We just moved, and I still have to build my reading nook: Methodical’s Ethiopian blend (which I’ve tried, and loved) and some elegant, renter-friendly decor.”
Emily: “I love waking up with a warm cup of chai tea in the morning — especially when it’s in a cute squirrel mug.”
Jessa: “Everyone loves a big fancy candle. Plus, get some decorative matches to... match.” |
