My Favorite Things Gift Ideas

Every time I get invited to a favorite things party, I panic. So, this year, I decided to keep track of items at every price point that I truly love AND were fun, pretty, or creative enough that other women might love them too. I think I have some serious home runs here and items that I think are amazing and not something everyone already has!

If you have a tried and true gift I missed, add it to comments. I’d love to check it out!!

Favorite Things Under $20

Family Movie Poster ($5)

If you have to bring a really inexpensive favorite thing, this is AWESOME. This giant downloadable poster gives 100 favorite family movies you can watch together. Print it, roll it up with a cute bow, add some movie treats or a game with it, and it will for sure be a favorite!

Maybelline Lifter Gloss $8 color ICE

If your limit is $10 this lip gloss is a fan favorite. Everyone loves it!

Geometry Not Paper Towels 6 for $15

These are at the top of my list of things I always make sure I have on hand!! We use them instead of washcloths in the kitchen sink because I can’t stand the smell of old dishcloths. These are like heavy duty paper towels that you can reuse. Then, once you are done, you can throw them in the washing machine and use them again or throw them away if they get too gross. Another bonus is they are darling and made from recycled water bottles. Use code BrookeR15 for 35% off.

Tea Sampler Pack $16

This is such a fun idea for a favorite thing! Darling packaging and the most delicious herbal tea. If you have more to spend, include a tea kettle and infuser!

Geometry Tea towels ($18)

This is another inexpensive favorite item that everyone loves. The patterns are darling and they are so absorbent and useful…way better than your average kitchen towel. Everyone is always happy to walk away with these! Use code BrookeR15 for 35% off.

Mrs. Meyer’s Hand Soap Variety Pack ($34 for pack of 6)

If your friends love a good, practical gift, this six pack of the best hand soap would be perfect. It smells divine and looks so cute next to any sink. This also works if you need a gift under $10…just split them up! Add a Geometry towel if you want to add a little value.

Favorite Things $20-$40

Large acrylic cutting board ($22)

This is such a great gift for the price. It gives you lots of surface area for chopping, stays put, and is clear acrylic if you like to keep it out for chopping often. I love that it goes over the side of the counter to minimize drips! A great, practical gift!

Modern Manners for Kids or Teens ($22)

This is always a highly coveted item at a favorite things party! Simple, doable strategies for helping your kids be aware, confident, and kind? Yes, please!! Use code FAVORITE for 20% off.

Do You Even Know Me ($25)

It’s always so fun to gift something NO ONE else has!! This family or friend party game is ready for pre-order and will ship mid-December. It’s a game everyone will be excited to play because it fosters connection and knowledge about each other while being fast paced and competitive. An absolute winner!

Volcano Mini Candle ($24)

Everyone loves the smell of these candles, and they are the perfect item to have on hand for gifts! An easy favorite!

Serving Bowl ($25)

This large, melamine serving bowl is 13 inches in diameter and a cool, modern shape that works for every hostess! And only $25!

Puzzlefolk ($25)

Hands down these are the cutest, most well made puzzles ever! For those who love to stay in, these will be snatched up right away! So many fun holiday options too!

Coco and Eve Face Tanning Mist ($29)

I discovered this in the summer and I LOVE IT. Now that I like to keep my face sun free as much as possible (hello wrinkles and age spots!), this mist gives me the glow I crave. It’s truly magic…no rubbing, no streaks, pleasant smell and clean ingredients. Such an awesome find. Use code BROOKEROM for 15% off!!

Chenille Throw Blanket ($30)

The quality and look of this blanket is totally unmatched for this price. Comes in a variety of colors, is so cute and classic, and is incredibly soft and the perfect size for throwing over the arm of a couch or snuggling underneath! A great gift!

Everyday Huggies from Hey June ($30)

I wore these earrings almost every single day for a full year and I’m still wearing them. They are so easy on your ears, I could wear them sleeping, in the shower, and on every vacation. A great gift for the practical group of friends. These come in silver and gold. Code BROOKE for 15% off.

Balsamic Vinegar Sampler ($35)

If your friends enjoy great food, this white balsamic vinegar sampler is both beautiful and delicious. We love these for salad dressings just straight from the bottle. You can’t go wrong when things taste this good!

Bow Earrings from Hey June ($36)

These earrings are show stoppers but still so affordable. They are the perfect statement earring that has just the right amount of whimsy! Friends will love this one. Take 15% off with code BROOKE.

Pullover Sweatshirt ($39)

This half zip sweatshirt is such a great “look for less.” It’s my go to when I want to feel comfy but look put together!

Flecks of Gold Journal ($39)

This 3 year journal encourages moms to record their “fleck of gold” moment each day which allows them to focus on the good in their kids, themselves, and life in general. It has space for 3 years which gives perspective and something fun to look back on as you see the joy in each day and stage of motherhood. Exceptional quality and a meaningful gift!

Favorite Things $40-$75

Let’s Eat Cookies ($40)

This was one of my favorite items from 2024. It is the most beautiful cookbook and looks amazing on display, but even more importantly, we’ve made 12 recipes from the pages and they have all been home runs!! I’ve never been a great baker, but these recipes are foolproof and so delicious. It would be a great favorite things gift!

Hydrojug ($40)

My love for these tumblers runs deep. They fit in your cup holder, keep drinks cold, and don’t leak or spill. Sure to be everyone’s favorite once they’ve tried them!

Gift Wrapping Pack ($50)

This darling gift wrapping pack comes with 3 rolls of high quality wrapping paper, 3 rolls of ribbon and 25 letter pressed gift tags. So darling and practical, it makes an awesome favorite things gift!

MelkIt Moisturizer ($55, save 10% with code brookeromney)

I don’t do a lot of fancy things for my face, so this moisturizer is an indulgence but I love it. It hydrates and cools my skin and smells incredible. A nice indulgent gift for someone who loves skincare.

The North Face Snow Slippers ($59)

If your price point is a bit higher, people go crazy over these snow slippers, and for good reason. Comfy, warm, slip on and have serious traction on the bottom. Perfect for quick outside moments in the snow or slipping on after you take your boots off.
