2022 Healthy Holiday Gift Guide

November 6, 2022 By Melanie No Comments

Hello and happy November! We had a snowstorm blow through Denver last night and when I awoke to a winter wonderland in my own backyard, I really couldn’t help but get into the holiday spirit! I know we’re still technically early on in the season but I’m all about celebrating holiday festiveness as early as you please and that’s why I’m releasing my annual Healthy Holiday Gift Guide the first weekend in November to allow for plenty of time to shop! I can’t believe this will be my fifth year releasing a gift guide (check out last year’s version HERE). I remember back in 2018 barely anyone shared custom gift guides and now they’re EVERYWHERE. So please know that I really appreciate you taking the time to check out mine. I did my best to include a variety of different categories and unique items — many that I’ve tried, tested and love myself. Others are simply things that I personally would buy as a gift or things I really think you all would find exciting too.

I’ll be sharing a larger more comprehensive part 2 of these gift guides on my LTK later this month! In the meantime, I hope you enjoy these eight categories and that it comes in handy while you’re doing your holiday shopping this year.

14 miles. 7 hours. 1 gorgeous city 🫶🏼

Despite having lived in NYC through my 20s, I never woke up and decided that I felt like walking the entirety of Manhattan in a day… but now that I’m back here with a friend it felt like the perfect way to show her around the city that will always feel like home to me ☺️💕

It was a looong day of walking and my feet are TIRED today but wow was it worth it! If you’re ever in NYC I def recommend doing the “broad city walk” challenge and trying this out yourself. I promise you won’t regret it 

Shoutout to @shaylaquinn for the inspo 👟

Is this something YOU’LL add to your bucket list?

One thing motherhood has taught me? Life becomes instantly sweeter when you learn to stop measuring days by how 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 you are and focus instead on how 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘵 you can be 🤎

As the seasons start to shift, it’s a great time
As the seasons start to shift, it’s a great time to welcome a little more hygge (a danish concept that is all about creating a quality of coziness and comfort) into our lives 🤎🧸

The focus shifts away from “things” and leans more into small rituals that make you feel grounded, content and present in the moment 

Here are 6 ways to add more hygge into your daily routines:

✨create cozy morning rituals✨

Instead of rushing into the day, try adding one or two elements to your mornings that feel a bit more calm and intentional. For example you can play soft music while you get ready or light your favorite candle while sipping on your coffee ☕️ 

✨make meals feel special ✨

Make mealtime extra cozy and mindful by putting away electronics, using your favorite plates & glassware, or making dishes that evoke a sense of nostalgia and childhood comfort 

✨ add touches of warmth & softness✨

Keep extra blankets nearby, switch to lamps or candlelight in the evening, and rotate in seasonal accents to make your home feel more inviting 

✨bring nature inside✨

Hygge is all about being connected to the natural world — so open up the window to let the crisp air in, buy yourself a seasonal bouquet, or use pumpkins to decorate your home 

✨make time for connection✨

Life is all about who we share it with and cozy season is a great excuse to meet your friend for a PSL, have more family dinners, and host comforting gatherings with loved ones 

✨embrace slow evenings✨

Create a sense of calm before bed by creating slow, intentional rituals. Make a cup of tea, read a book or do a calming hobby, and put on comfy loungewear 

How are you adding a little more coziness into your routine this autumn?

I don’t know who needs to hear this but cozy hobbies are 100% the self-care we all need in this busy season of life 🎨 

I’ll be sharing some of my personal favorites all season long and the first up are these adorable watercolor books… which are basically the adult version of coloring

They’re the perfect activity to unwind, get creative and intentionally get off your phone 😉. Bonus — each page includes a step by step so they are very beginner friendly AND they only take about 10-15 min. Perfect for squeezing in when you’re short on time but need a min to just “be” 

Let me know if you’re excited to see more cozy crafts & hobby ideas for fall and the upcoming holiday season! I have lots of new things I want to try and can’t wait to share 🤎

Say hello to your new cutie cocktail for the autumn season that’s PERFECT for hosting friends! 🍎 It’s light, refreshing and so easy to turn into a mocktail as well 

SAVE this recipe and let me know if you’ll be giving it a try: 

✨2oz bourbon 
✨3oz apple cider 
✨ juice from 1/2 lemon 
✨ @drinkolipop Crisp Apple soda 

Add the first 3 ingredients over ice in a cocktail shaker and shake well! Pour evenly into two glasses (or the empty Olipop cans for extra cute presentation) and top with the crisp apple soda

Garnish with a lemon wedge and sprig of rosemary! 

✨If you want to make an N/A version just replace the bourbon with @seedlipdrinks Spice 94 ✨

Cheers!
