3 Functional Lifestyle Gift Ideas for the Holidays
When it comes to selecting thoughtful, functional gifts for loved ones in the fall and winter, it’s great to pick items that combine practicality with cozy, seasonal charm. Here are three functional lifestyle products that would make perfect gifts for fall!
Holiday shopping is the only time of year when I’ll happily stand in a line for an hour, spend too much money on stuff I could’ve made myself (but didn’t), and then wrap it all up in shiny paper that will be ripped off in 10 seconds. But hey, at least the effort is appreciated… right?
Picking out holiday gifts is my superpower—if my superpower was being absolutely terrible at coming up with gift ideas. I’m being serious – I am the WORST AT IT. I spend hours scrolling online, only to end up buying something I definitely wouldn’t want. But hey, at least the gift receipt is included, right?
All kidding aside, let’s talk about a few of my favorite things lately that have not failed me.
Vant Accent Pillows
I’m absolutely loving these pillows so far! They are perfect for the vibe I was going for in my living room of being bright and cheery.
Explore a world of textures with this exquisite collection of throw pillows by Vänt® wall mounted headboards. From the sumptuous softness of microfiber and velvet to the cozy warmth of boucle and sophisticated touch of suede, each pillow in the collection is a statement piece. Machine-washable, they arrive stuffed in a pillow case and measure 20″ W X 20″ H. Colors match the Vant collection colors. $54.99 each.
As winter rolls in and the weather cools down, accent pillows are perfect for creating a cozy, inviting atmosphere. Their plush texture can enhance the comfort of any seating area, making it an ideal gift for someone who loves to curl up with a good book, watch a movie, or simply relax in their living room or bedroom. I LOVE these so far. They are so comfy and soft.
Alpha Skin Care Body Bundle Set
This Alpha set is a fantastic skincare gift, especially for those looking to maintain smooth, healthy skin throughout the fall and winter months. I already notice a difference in my skin!
Featuring two best-selling body products, this anti-aging skincare gift hydrates and exfoliates for an all-day glow. Includes moisturizing Body Wash that is formulated with 10% Glycolic Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) to gently release dead skin cells and reveal fresh, healthy, younger-looking skin. Also features the prestigious Renewal Body Lotion that is formulated with 12% Glycolic Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) to thoroughly hydrate and gently exfoliate, leaving skin soft, smooth and younger-looking from head to toe. Made for all skin types, this set is $30 at www.alphaskin.com
I feel like this brand is really good at focusing on areas that tend to get especially dry during fall and winter.
