You guys know I love to travel but deep down I am a homebody! I love to get all snuggled up in my cozy sweat sets, light a candle and lay under a soft blanket. These are my favorites that I love having when I’m at home (and beyond!). If you’re looking for more travel favorites check out the TRAVELER GIFT GUIDE.
Anine Bing Sweatshirt – I have a *bit* of an obsession with these sweatshirts. They’re thick, and the quality is unreal amazing.
Chirp Wheels – This was the best gift I got myself a few years ago haha. I use them every single day and it pops and stretches in the best way. Braun loves them more than I do and that is saying something!!
Echo Show – Bought this for our kitchen this past year and it’s so convenient. It will remind you of events in your calendar, you can watch shows on it, listen to music, etc!
Teva Slippers – I buy myself a pair of slippers every year and these were last years. I love them because they aren’t fuzzy on the inside so they keep your feet warm without making them hot. Amazing arch support too. THESE are the slippers/ house shoes I got this year!
Sleep Crown – This was the best thing I bought myself last year and have slowly had to buy everyone in the family one because we are all obsessed. It’s a pillow that goes over half of your face and blocks out light and noise… seriously a game changer. Anyone who has one knows what I mean!!
Purple Pillow – I have this on the men’s gift guide too! We ALLL love them in this house. It’s made from the same material as Purple mattresses and is self cooling. I’m thinking this will make the perfect gift for your kids headed of to college soon. Don’t forget to add this pillowcase too! We just got them and their stretchy + silky. Feels like HEAVEN.
Echo Spot – This is a new amazon product. It’s like an upgraded echo dot. I like that it displays the time + comes with all the amazon features we love.
Fire Stick – I leave one of these in my luggage at all times, it makes a regular TV a smart TV, and when you unplug it, it keeps you logged in to all your accounts which is such a bonus.
Tineco Mop/Vacuum – It vacuums and mops at the SAME TIME. Killing 2 birds with 1 stone? Sign me up!
Stanley – If your parents aren’t in the loop on these bad boys then you’ve def done something wrong… JK! But seriously if they don’t have one it’ll be a great gift. TARA20 works for 20% off all drinkware except the Quenchers.
Pill Case – Is it weird to get excited about a pill case? Because I am! This one is BEAUTIFUL and will make you excited to take those vitamins + meds. haha
Neck + Shoulder Massager – If you carry stress in your shoulder this helps a ton. It’s heated and rolls out all the knots and tension.
Stanley Snack Tray – Say hello to the ultimate hydration + snack station. Hear me out, it’s kind of a weird product but I use it for movie nights and it’s the best!
Weighted Heating Pad – Bought this for myself and my girls are constantly using it. It’s the BEST to go to bed with at night, cramps, or when ya need to warm up. I turn it on before I start getting ready for bed and by the time it’s bedtime.. my bed is nice and cozy!
Robe – Who doesn’t love a cozy robe? This one is silky and so cute. I also love this one.d
StanByMe TV – I want this so bad but just don’t know how to justify it quite yet! haha It’s a rolling TV/ tablet and seems so nice. Imagine being able to have your fave show on while you’re in the bath. A DREAM.
Kindle Remote – Grab the kindle holder + this remote and you’re set for a cozy night of reading in your bed! You’ll be able to turn the pages with the remote so no need to have your arms sticking out of the blanket to get cold.
Geometry Towels – I’ve used these towels for YEARS. They’re mega absorbent, have the cutest prints, wash up so well and fold nicely. They’re known for their tea towels but we also love their beach/bath towels! Code TARA saves you 35% off for a limited time!!
Skylight Calendar – This was a recent purchase of mine (k, maybe two years ago) and not only do I love it, but my kids love it! It lays out everyone’s calendars with ease. I have it in my kitchen so that everyone can see what their day, week, and month look like. No more asking what time ____ is!
OSEA Malibu – You literally can’t go wrong with OSEA. Code THUESONHOLIDAY will save you 10%. They have some great holiday bundles on their site right now too! Their products are the best of the best. My favorites are:
- Exfoliating Scrub
- Anti-Aging Body Balm
- Body Oil
- Body Butter
- Body Wash
Ninja Creami – As you know, we are all in love with this. It’ll make any kind of ice cream that you want, there’s tons of recipes online to look up but I have my favorite in a reel on my instagram page!
Loop Ear Plugs – The comfiest ear plugs Braun and I have tried. A recc from one of you guys! Sometimes ya just need to block out the craziness, ya know?
Frame TV – I know you’ve heard about these, it’s a TV but when it’s on standby it looks like a picture! Since it’s digital you can change the picture to whatever you want and download lots of artwork for it on Etsy.
Kindle – I’m all about making life easier and my Kindle does that. It’s better than reading on a phone or tablet because their isn’t a glare and its small enough to toss in any bag.
Glow Beauty Brush – This feels like you’re getting a scalp massage every time you brush your hair. The bristles are metal and the quality is unmatchable. It was made by cosmetologists too! Code TARA saves you 10%.
Moji – I swore to myself that I would never be the house that smells like dogs and cats.. these are my saving grace. They technically aren’t called Moji anymore, they go by the name The Happy Co. but it’s still the same product we know and love!
Apron – Dying over how cute this apron is! I have a solid one from this same brand.
Digital Frame – I really love this for people who don’t live close. You can download and app and send pics to the frame so it constantly updates. We gifted one of these to Brauns grandma a few. years ago and everyone loads their photos onto it. Cousins too!
Steam Cleaner – I was on the hunt for a steamer that had a large tank this year and found this bad boy. It’s amazing and comes with so many attachments to clean all the things. Kills allll the germs and it pet / kid safe because it uses only steam to clean. It’ll be the most satisfying thing you buy in your life.
Hatch Restore – Love that this uses a light to wake you up more naturally. Has other awesome features too! The sound on it can start at specific times each night.. same with the lights in the morning!
Kindle Holder – This one is for the lazy + efficient. You can clip it to your nightstand, bed, really anywhere so you don’t have to hold your kindle while you read.
Spanx Set – Quite literally the best set I’ve ever put on my body. It’s so dang soft! Ugh, I want to be in it right now. The half zip hits at the perfect spot + the wide leg pants make you feel like you’re wearing nothing at all.
Anker Cable – Never worry about a short cord again with this bad boy. It’s 6 ft long and all we use in the Thueson household. They’re the best.
Couch Caddy – I bought this for myself last year thinking Braun was going to make fun of me, well he freakin stole it! It’s nice because I tote it with me around the house with all my essentials in one place. And now we have two… 3 actually because he has one in St. George too.
Ergonomic Mouse – If you’ve got a tech nerd on your list like me, this may be the winning gift! It’s designed to work with the natural placement of your hand and has been so great for me.
Eye Massager – You guys sold this out years ago, it’s seriously the best thing ever. I love it when I have migraines and just to relax. Especially with all the dry eye problems I’ve been having this year.
Candle Warmer – A candle warmer is a great option! No flame, but you still get that smell you want. Candles last a lot longer with it too.
Blush Tonka Candle – Was influenced by @thelithomebody on this one and boy am I glad I was! It’s got such a warm, cozy scent to it. Inexpensive too!
Magnetic Charging Cable – This cord magnets to itself so it keeps it self tidy! Braun would love this. It’s definitely going in his stocking for his car..
Rothy Clogs – I bought these slippers for myself this year. TECHNICALLY they’re shoes you can wear out and about, but I use them as house shoes/ slippers.. you do you! They’re really comfy, machine washable, and hold up sooo well.
Brumate Tumbler – Lots of you have recommended this tumbler. This design is so cute!
Page Kindle Covers – It’s the little things that make me so happy! A cute kindle cover? Yes please! Page shop has the best ones where cuteness meets functionality.
Lola Blankets – The softest blankets EVER. Seriously, you won’t find a softer one. All my kids use to steal mine and I ended up getting them all their own. It’s the cats fave too. Code TARA will save you!
Clicky Keyboard – Again, the little things. The sounds of an old school keyboard makes me GIDDY. I found this one on amazon and it makes the best click sounds just like keyboards used too. It’s heavy too which I love.
Hammock Chair – We use these for soccer games, but I’ve been tempted to bring them outside and relax in them. Very comfortable and easy to set up and take down. Cozy up with a good book on the lawn at you’re in heaven.
Stanley Phone Holder – Some of the Stanley accessories can be a bit much for me, but I can’t believe how much I love this thing. Clip your phone in and watch a show or use it as your tripod!
Conversation Starter Game – I love that these cards get deeper conversations going, helps you really get to know someone better.. even those within your family!
Salty Tub Co – If you’re looking for a tranquil bath, these are the best kits on the planet. Packed with so much goodness and they have soooo many different options to fit your needs. 20% off automatically applies at checkout!
Tommy John Pajamas – My favorite pajamas EVER. The second skin fabric is top notch. Their bras and underwear are the best too! It’s all Braun wears to bed.
Kindle Colorsoft – This one is new this year, like a mix between a tablet and kindle. Seems awesome!
Shark Mop + Vacuum – I love that we link in a world where household chores can be done by machines and not by me. This one vacuums and mops, has an app where you can set up borders + times to run and it self empties/cleans!
Recipe Club – Anyone else so over digital recipes and having to dig to find them? I know I am! My friend, Kelsey, designed the most beautiful binder to be able to store a physical copy of all your recipes. She includes a canva editable template too so all your recipes can look the same. Talk about GENIUS!
