Nespresso Pixie
An avid coffee drinker like myself deserves a convenient one stop shop for espresso-brewing, and milk-frothing. At a serious discount on Amazon right now (30% off), this is a fantastic gift for the coffee-lover(s) in your life, even if that is yourself. So many great ‘pod’ options also on Amazon (like these and these).

Lululemon Align Leggings
I need to share that I just counted the number of align leggings that are in my workout wardrobe – 12.
12 pairs of align leggings. It is safe to say that I find these to be the absolute best leggings for most of my athletic needs (aside from running, please wear these instead (or these if you run in shorts).
Jade Harmony Yoga Mat
My husband and I both do quite a bit of yoga, and have tried and tested lots of yoga mats – including Lululemon, Manduka and B Mat, but our absolute favorite in comfort and durability is the Jade Harmony Yoga Mat!
My husband has the 74″ ‘Midnight Blue’ mat and I have the 68″ ‘Fire Engine Red’ mat.

I have shared this brand with you before, but this time of year is the best time to invest in an R.Riveter bag, or to gift one.
Pro tip: Their dopp kits and men’s wallets are fantastic dude gifts.
I cannot recommend their goodies enough – shop away and use code ESCAPE for 10% off your purchase!!
Breville Citrus Press Pro
I will be very honest here, we moved into a new house this year and this juicer straight up came with the house we are renting. I am sharing here because it has been a critical part of our daily routine and I am certainly buying myself one this Christmas (they are on sale right now!) so that I have it when we move in the Summer.
Super convenient, very easy to clean, makes the best juice. It has also upped my mimosa game substantially.
Apple Airpods
A fantastic gift idea for all of us ‘work from home / school from home’ people. While the Airpod Pro’s are out and are a gamechanger, the Wireless Airpods are 30% off on Amazon right now!

Oak and Oliver Candle Company
I find that with all of this extra time I am spending at home, I am craving warm and cozy scents throughout my home. I thoroughly enjoy the experience of walking room to room and being immersed in a new smell. These candles are hand-poured by my friend Lisa, in her kitchen – which is absolutely shocking given the impeccable quality of each candle, plus the unique and beautiful shipment packaging.
This time of year, there are lots of options on her Etsy to choose from – including holiday gift sets!
For orders over $50, use code CARISSA for a free orange peel and peppercorn room spray ($14 value)!
Hydro Flask
I know this might seem obvious – maybe even boring – but I am here to tell you that the Hydro Flask is a fantastic holiday gift idea. In fact, there are so many new designs that allow for Hydro Flask use for nearly any food and beverage occasion.
