SOOOOOOO I know this Christmas is so much different than we all pictured- and while we might be mourning what it could have been, there’s no reason it cannot be filled with joy, beauty, peace and love. And gifts we buy online LOL. I’ve created this gift guide with items I either use personally, or are 100% on my wish list. Here we go!

FOR THE MOM WHO NEEDS A BREAK

I mean we ALL need a break, right? So let’s do self care REALLY well in 2021.

This Beauty Counter Countertime Deluxe Mini Set ($169) will pamper any tired mom- the mini size gives a taste of Beauty Counter’s best-selling, age-defying regimen. This is the product I use daily!

Lemongrass is a great scent for soothing the nervous system- so this Beauty Counter Sugar Body Scrub in Lemongrass ($40) makes me all kinds of happy.

These Certified international Artisan Ceramic Mugs ($39) have a beautiful handmade quality about them- I just want all the homemade things!

This beautiful Pure Merino Wool Blanket by House of Royals Co ($400) is so stunning. We were gifted one and it is just the most luxurious blanket- so much cozy for a tired mama.

I LOVE relaxing with the sent of soothing essential oils in my home! Grab this Essential Oil Diffuser for just $30.

FOR THE WORK FROM HOME MOM

Keep all your goals for the week visible with this Wall Pops wall decal dry erase calendar ($29)

For all you possibility mamas out there, here’s a little motivation to keep on your desk! Grab the brand new Possibility Mom mugs with two important sayings to get you through the day.

Everyone loves a pretty pen, right? I was given this rose gold pen as a gift before I left Toronto and it is the pen I literally hide from my children LOL.

I was introduced to the Promptly Journals by Loom Journal founder Kim Christenson at my August Possibility Mom Conference- and they are so beautiful and encourage the beautiful habit of GRATITUDE. Grab this journal for $32.

If you are looking to up your work from home situation, here are a few really affordable, and really pretty options. This white and gold desk has been great for grown up zoom meetings and kids’ zoom classes alike. This white and gold desk chair is comfy and stylish at the same time. This Globe task lamp in gold and white makes me so happy as do these marble shelves, gold brackets and bulletin board! And if you want a playful addition to your walls, these decals by Urban Wall Decals will brighten any work from home situation!!!!!

Give the gift of productivity with a copy of my book, or my signature time management course Conquer Your Calendar.

FOR THE MOM WHO MISSES DRESSING UP

This necklace is probably my favourite thing in my jewelry box right now. Created by Toronto mom Rebekah Price the Multi Rivoli necklace goes with basically everything. This faux leather a-line green skirt is my most popular item in my like.to.know.it and these Cari Snake Print Cut Out Booties are a close runner up.

I have just started using Beauty Counter’s new Beyond Lipgloss line and oh my word does it make a statement (even if it’s under your mask) for $29.

This palette makes an incredible above the mask statement- the pigment and blending ability in Beauty Counter’s eyeshadows is exceptional- and it’s made from CLEAN ingredients which makes everything better. This Beauty Counter Velvet Eyeshadow palette at $50 is worth every penny.

Ladies… these are $14! These affordable Time and Tru Animal Print Feather Flats are such a good staple in a wardrobe. And $14, I mean…

And from this same affordable Walmart line this Eyelash Sweater (again only $14!!!!) is a fun way to incorporate this animal print trend.

FOR THE MOM WHO WANTS TO STAY COMFY

I mean we’ve got to stay cozy at home, right? This AE Waffle Oversize Crew Sweater in Holiday Heather Brown is sooooo comfy I want to get this in all the colours.

I mean we all know most people are keeping it business on top for Zoom meetings, and cozy on the bottom, right? These White Velvet pom pom slippers are just too cute.

I just had to. You’re on mute is the PHRASE OF 2020 amiright?!?!? This t-shirt for just $10 would make such a good gift this year.

These are the comfiest jeans I own. Period. Like in my entire life of owning jeans- these Women’s High-Rise Cropped Straight Jeans are SOOOOOOO COMFY.

FOR THE CATHOLIC MOM

Catholic Family Crate is one of my FAVOURITE Catholic companies out there- the product they produce, a monthly subscription box, with modern liturgical art, crafts for the feast days, family activities and more is such a beautiful surprise every month. They are gifting one month free right now when you buy 5 and it is such a high quality product- grab yours here!

I’ve been a fan of Catholic online shop House of Joppa for a long time and this new bracelet is as beautiful as it is meaningful. Depicting the beautiful Our Lady of Guadalupe in Rose Gold, this would make a gorgeous statement on any Catholic mama’s wrist for $29.

Earlier this year House of Royals and I partnered on my bedroom above. This Face of God on the Cross in this gorgeous gold frame would be an incredible, luxurious gift.

Be a Heart is known for her modern hand drawn approach to design and this Holy Family Tapestry is no exception. You can hang this as a wall tapestry, or wear it as a scarf! I am kind of obsessed and at $40 it is a beautiful way to support a Catholic designer.

I know a lot of mamas know and love Krstin Reilly from One Hail Mary at a Time (you might remember this fun NY Times article she and I were both featured in about large family life). Did you know she has merch??? This sweatshirt depicts the virtues associated with each of the mysteries of the rosary. I’ve got this $34 Virtue Pots Sweatshirt on my list this Christmas.

If you’ve been following me for a while, you know I am big on having a growth mindset- and so when I saw Metanoia Catholic is releasing their own journal in the new year, you better believe I pre-ordered my copy.

FOR THE PICKY HUSBAND

This is single-handedly the BEST purchase we made during quarantine in 2020. Originally bought as a Father’s Day gift for my husband, it ended up being a gift for me. My Traeger Grill has turned me into a full on culinary queen of the cul-de-sac so to speak. It’s helped me to feel confident at providing healthful, delicious meals that honestly rival restaurant quality sometimes- and if you know me, you know what an incredible feat this is LOL because prior to this I burned basically everything. A Traeger is definitely an investment, but when you think about how many meals we cook during lockdown, this thing is a gift that keeps on giving.

I think a lot of people are looking for more nostalgia, and more tactile experiences. My husband has this on his list- a record player that plays actual records as well as connects to your Bluetooth.
