the ultimate gift guide for anyone on any budget
It’s that time of the year again! Time to start thinking about what you’re going to get everyone for the holidays and if you’re like me then you’re someone who doesn’t just walk into the store to grab just anything to wrap up and call good, we want to get something personal, something that we know the person will love.
Every year I think of doing this and every year I think of it about a week before Christmas, this year I got on the ball. This year I wanted to create a gift guide you can shop for everyone from (yep, this whole post is filled with direct links for you to shop). I also wanted to create a gift guide that everyone on any budget could shop from as well. The holidays are a weird time of the year. For example: my husband gets laid off in the winter, and when does winter start? The holidays. We always prepare and it’s no big deal and no surprise that he’s not going to be going to work for a few months, but I know a lot of families also struggle with this time of the year. It’s just a more financially stressful time.
I tried to think of everyone, from your in-laws to your pets. I gathered as many coupon codes as I could find too to make shopping these items that much better for you. Each gift was carefully thought out, is of good quality, and is sure to be something that you and your loved ones will absolutely adore.
I hope you love it, happy shopping!
All photos are shop-able, just click on them and they’ll take you to the item.
The Monat Holiday Sets, these right here could take care of everyone on your list. They all come pre-wrapped in the cutest gift boxes and each one includes the best accessories to go along with the products, you really can’t go wrong with any of them.
Literally everyone on your list could use a winter hat or warm accessory. Love Your Melon has more to pick from than you could imagine. From classic beanies, beanies with gold foil, beanies with glow in the dark patches, to headbands, blankets, socks, and apparel, you’re sure to find something for someone on your list, and the best part about shopping there? 50% of all the proceeds go into pediatric cancer research, nothing better than checking people off your list while also giving back.
Use code @mallorypeasley at checkout for free shipping. My favorite part about this discount code is that it’s for free shipping and doesn’t take any proceeds away from the kids! Make sure the @ symbol is in your code or it won’t work!
We all have a wine lover in the family! A super simple (and easy) gift that shows that you know them is a personalized wine tumbler from FastPace Laser and their favorite bottle of wine! FastPace Laser actually engraves the tumbler with their name instead of using stickers, so that it lasts forever, no peeling! I purchased all of my bridesmaids’ wine tumblers along with one for myself from this company and we all love them. There’s a ton of colors and fonts to pick from to make it completely unique and designed for the person you’re shopping for. The quality is amazing, customer service is impeccable, and creation/shipping is fast!
Where are my coffee lovers at? This is the ultimate coffee gift, the ultimate. This one is however, a little more expensive than the gifts I’ve listed so far. This is a great group gift or a good gift for someone close to you (husband/wife, mom, in-law, best friend, etc). The Nespresso is the ultimate coffee machine. It brews the best premium coffee you’ve ever had, I promise you. Grab this gift for your favorite coffee lover and every time they use it it’ll feel like Christmas morning. It’s the gift that keeps on giving.
If your coffee lover also loves lattes and mochas, grab the bundle for them! That includes the Nespresso VertuoLine and the Aeroccino Milk Frother. It’s the exact bundle Dylan got me for Christmas a few years ago and everything still works like it’s brand new, couldn’t recommend it anymore.
If you have a coffee lover that already has a Nespresso, a great gift is their favorite coffee. If you don’t know what their favorite coffee is, swing over to their place for a coffee date and check out their pods, the coffee name will be on the bottom of the pod. A new mug is also a really good and thoughtful gift, I’m always a sucker for new mugs.
Clothes! Who doesn’t love clothes? I know you have someone in your life that’s a sucker for some cute outfits (maybe it’s you and you deserve a gift too). A gift card from a boutique is always a winner in my book or if you really know the person you’re shopping for grab them a whole outfit!
First up for my clothing picks are these joggers from Amazon. They are so comfortable AND CHEAP! They even have pockets and come in a bunch of different colors. I’ve had mine for a few months and the quality has held up, I love them so so much.
I love love love shopping small. One of my favorite boutiques that I’ve been following for years is Dottie Couture Boutique, they get daily new arrivals—which I absolutely love—everything I’ve ever bought from them has been great quality, and their shipping is fast + they have free returns. I promise, you’ll find something on their site. This is my current favorite sweater that they have available, it’s so soft and flattering, but it does run big. I’m in a small. I’ve also linked some other current picks too! Otherwise you can just head to their website and find your own favorites.
Use code malloryp20 for 20% off your entire purchase, we all love saving money!
My other current picks:
Black and Gray Color Block Sweater
Taupe and Maroon Color Block Sweater
Another one of my favorite small businesses is Style Lust Shop. I know the owner personally and I love what she’s all about. Just like Dottie, all of their stuff is great quality. Style Lust Shop ships out super fast and they have free shipping on everything! Who doesn’t love free shipping??
Here’s two of my current favorites that she has available right now.
For the Monat lover in your life, grab them some clothes, accessories, or a gift card from the Monat Gear Store! There’s workout wear, business wear, lounge wear, clothes for men and women, hats, and tons of other stuff. There’s no way you can’t find something for your favorite Monat lover. Take it from a fellow Monat lover, we’re always excited to get new gear that represents our brand.

Speaking of Monat lovers, or maybe someone who you’d like to convert to a Monat lover, why not grab them some of their favorite products?! A great place to start for someone who’s new is the Rejuveniqe Oil, they can use it no matter what other products they’re using and they can use it on pretty much anything (hair, skin, dogs, kids, etc). Another great option is the skincare! Everyone needs a good skincare routine. If you need help with a recommendation please reach out to me and we’ll set you or your loved one(s) with products specifically for your/their hair and/or skin.
A couple other products you really can’t go wrong with: The Champ Conditioning Dry Shampoo, Strong Flexi-Hold Hair Spray, and The Dry Texturizing Spray. These are perfect products for anyone who styles their hair (so basically everyone) and they can be used whether or not someone uses Monat for their Shampoo and Conditioner.
Here’s a good before and after using The Dry Texturizing Spray for you, they were taken five minutes apart. It’s definitely one of my new favorite products that Monat has to offer.
Do you know someone who loves to read? Who wants to get a better handle on their life? Who wants to strengthen their relationship with Jesus? Maybe a business owner trying to work on self development, or anyone trying to work on self development? These books are two of my favorites. I know there’s a lot of controversy on self-help books but I truly believe that they are good for the soul. These two specifically have changed my outlook on life.
Who loves photos? I know there’s a ton of different options out there for instant photography but my favorite will always be Polaroid, the one who started it all. They have vintage cameras that have been restored and new cameras on their website made with modern technology but that still take the 600 film. I love their OneStep+ Camera, it bluetooth connects to your phone which I think is so freaking cool. You can double expose, put it on manual mode, use your phone as a remote for taking photos, and more. It’s so good and your photography lover will absolutely love it, I promise.
Use code starter20 to save $20 on your starter set.
Maybe the photography lover in your life already has a Polaroid? No worries, grab them some film. Trust me we could always use more film.
Last but not least, a classic gift and timeless gift (see what I did there), a watch. I have two watch companies that I absolutely love. The first one is Tree Hut Co. Tree Hut Co produces wooden watches for men and women, they take a more rustic approach to their watches, making them the perfect choice for someone like my husband. The quality is fantastic (Dylan’s had his for three years and if you know him, you know that’s pretty incredible) and they have free shipping on orders over $100. Another thing I love about Tree Hut is that you can add an engraving if you’d like to make it a little more personal for the person your gifting this too. I gave Dylan this watch when we took our first trip to Europe, it’s engraved with a bible verse that we later had read at our wedding, I couldn’t think of anything better for him.
If you prefer a more classic looking watch, Mavericks Collection is where it’s at. Mavericks Collection is based in Canada, has watches for both men and women, and they also sell accessories. Trust me you’ll find something you like on their site. I’ve had my watch for roughly six months and I love it. I don’t wear it as an everyday watch, although you could, I wear it more as an accessory when I get dressed up and go out.
If you find something on their site that catches your eye use code MALLORYP15 to save 15% off your purchase, make sure the code is in all caps though otherwise it won’t work.
Alright there we go! I truly hope that this made your shopping a heck of a lot easier and that you found something for those on your Christmas list! Let me know your favorites in the comments!
