After polling stylish friends and family, here is a round-up of the best gifts everyone wants! Some I have shown you before and now we have them in one spot for our convenience.
We’ve got hot gifts for the men, women, and dogs in your life! Lots of classic, casual things that I would like to find under the tree like chic personalized stationery, a fab outdoor pizza oven, great smelling bath soap (exfoliates and hydrates, too), a sublime neck massager, and more.
On Thursday, I won’t be posting as usual as I hope to be winning the family Scrabble tournament (after a wonderful Thanksgiving meal and a brisk walk with the dogs).
But first, I want to tell you how grateful I am for your loyalty, friendship, and kindness. You make writing CCH a pleasure that chronicles and enriches my life. Thank you so much! I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Best Gifts Everyone Wants Including Your Men

- Our son, Thomas loves these sharp Lacoste polos. Check the sizing. Since they run smaller, Thomas sizes up.
- I first smelled this Archipelago body soap in Napa…the whole family will love it
- This is a handsome overshirt by Everlane
- Who wouldn’t want this great outdoor oven to make pizzas with that perfect crispy yet chewy crust. Great reviews.
- Howard loves his Allbirds!
Luxe But Not Necessarily Costly Gifts For Her

- A lot of you already bought this cashmere poncho (heck! I have two)…but I loved it so much on our recent trip…on the plane and over my coat for an extra layer, I thought I should mention it again. One size fits all.
- Sephora sometimes sells out of this Tatcha face cream. My cousin, Patricia (she has gorgeous skin) first gave it to me. ($68)
- I received the “Lush Life” book as I gift (Thanks, Claire). Love it! I’ve already given it to two friends. ($35)
- Jo Malone candle in Pomegranate Noir is super popular. My friend, Debbie brought it to a White Elephant Christmas gift exchange and everyone fought over it. ($70)
- Your loved one will be amazed at how soft these Eberjey pajamas feel. I like the cropped version since I’m shorter. ($118).
Sweet Gifts For Your Furry Friend

- Colorful bandanas (Dolly’s favorite).
- Chew stick that is addictive to dogs (and may stop them from chewing up other things)
- Training treats
- Personalized collars
- A dog bed to leave out on display!
Best Gifts Everyone Wants For Spa At Home

- I have given this great quality bathrobe to family members. On special right now.

- Love the Brown Sugar Scrub.
- After the candle is gone, the glass makes a cute vase.
- My sister swears by these cubes that you put in the shower to create heavenly scented steam.
Gifts Everyone Likes

- Everyone likes to have their own classy, personalized stationary.
- How about matching slippers for the grandparents and kids?
- Our son, Thomas loves this hot chocolate with practically homemade marshmallows.
- You may have seen my knitted blue throw (lots of colors)…we all love how cozy it is.
- We are going to be doing some driving over the holidays and I think this neck massager would be nice to have in the car or while watching television.

We were given that neck massager, and I can’t recommend it. We find it very bulky, hard rollers inside, and not really comfortable to use. The so-called heat is barely noticeable. Other ideas would be preferable IMHO.
Janette, I just gave it to my brother for his birthday and we all used it and liked it! It was on the NY Times gift list too.
Great gift ideas (and I love my cashmere poncho, thanks for that suggestion!). I would like to check out the chew stick but it appears that the link is broken? I have a new grandpup 🙂
oh thanks, Lori. I will check it out.
Happy Thanksgiving Mary Ann!
Same to you, Colleen.
First, I’ve been following you for so many years and your blog is still my #1 favorite! You have the best content, photos, ideas, and inspiration not to mention I want to live in every house and room you do. So, thank YOU for all your hard work to provide us with many happy hours spent reading your blog.
We’re driving up north and I’ve put 6 of your gift suggestions in carts! I can always count on you to share great ideas that I know people, and I, would love to receive. Happy Thanksgiving!
You are sooooo kind, Gail! Safe drive!
Thank you for all the great suggestions. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
Same to you, Meredyth!!!
Great ideas one and all! I am definitely getting the Lush Life book. Paged through the Look Inside feature and found great cocktails, food recipes, and a garden planting guide! This Southern Californian thanks you!!! Wishing you and your family a very happy Thanksgiving.
Christmas shopping for yourself, Holly? I LIKE it! That book is on my bedside table.
