A Few of My Favorite Things: 2020 Holiday Gift Guide

November 27, 2020 by Hillary Leave a Comment

From my favorite fanny pack and minty CBD supplement to small shop finds and cute tees that give back, I’m sharing holiday gift ideas for the gals in your life. 

Holiday Gift Guide For Her

Lucky Brand Basel Rain Boots

I’ve had two pairs of the leather Basel booties – they are so comfortable (walkable!). Now that I live in Seattle (hello, rain!), I’m eying this waterproof pair that could be dressed up or down.

Goop G.Tox Himalayan Salt Scalp Scrub Shampoo

This one of a kind whipped shampoo lives up to the hype – I am obsessed! It’s currently all I use and has helped to decrease how often I wash my hair. It’s so exfoliating, leaves my hair squeaky clean, and smells incredible (rosemary, geranium, orange, and peppermint essential oils, ahh!).

Beautycounter All Bright C Serum

a.k.a. sunshine in a bottle, this brightening Vitamin C serum is the daytime companion to the Resurfacing Peel. Think of the two products as BFFs, the ultimate glow duo! This game-changing serum has an ultra-potent 10% blend of two forms of vitamin C to instantly brighten skin and help reduce the appearance of existing dark spots. It also includes antioxidant-rich turmeric (which gives it a gorgeous yellow color) and camu camu to help protect against new dark spots and promote an even skin tone – obsessed!

15% off + free shipping on all orders $50+ through 11/30.

Beautycounter Overnight Resurfacing Peel

This is the Beautycounter gateway product for many people and one of my top three skincare products! Don’t be fooled by the name – you don’t actually peel when you use this. It’s similar to a serum that exfoliates dead skin cells to help minimize pores, fine lines, and acne scars while improving skin tone, texture, dullness, and literally makes your skin glow! It is amazing for all skin types.

15% off + free shipping on all orders $50+ through 11/30.

Waffle Robe

I’ve been wanting a robe, and have my eyes on this waffle weave one from Parachute Home or this super plush robe from Brook Linen. After all, 2020 has been the year of cozy loungewear! Both robes are 20% off this weekend.

Primally Pure

Primally Pure is another one of my top favorite safer skincare brands. I love their clean deodorants, body butters, and lip balms – which all make great stocking stuffers. This body butter trio is a favorite of mine to break up and give as gifts.

Use code HILL25 for 25% off your Primally Pure order through 11/30.

Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag

My Lulu fanny has become a staple in my every day. It’s the perfect size to hold my phone, keys, poop bags (for dog walks), lip balm, etc. The thick strap is adjustable, so I switch from wearing on my hip to across my chest. It comes in a bunch of fun colors, too!

Inspirational Mug

I spotted this cute mug from one of my favorite small shops, Heyday Bozeman. Fill it with a hand cream and lip balm and gift to your girlfriend. But if your coffee or tea is always getting cold like mine is, a Yeti mug will keep your beverages hot all morning long.

Cute Protective Face Mask

While my mom has been sewing most of my protective face masks this year, I’ve seen so many cute and feminine styles from small shops. You can’t go wrong by stuffing a cute face mask or two into stockings this year. It’s something we all need!

Pique Tea Sun Goddess Matcha

I love matcha lattes, iced or hot, and have been enjoying Pique Tea’s Sun Goddess Matcha. I mix it with a couple ounces of boiling water before pouring over a glass full of ice, Forager cashew milk, and bit of maple syrup. Pique’s organic ceremonial grade matcha is quadruple screened for heavy metals and pesticides. You can read more about it here.

Bodem Goose Neck Electric Kettle

This is the electric kettle I have and use daily to make my matcha or cup of hot herbal tea. No more kettle taking up space on the stove. I love the matte black and cork combo, it’s quiet, and heats up water fast.

North Face Waterproof Parka

I’ve been looking for a warm (I’m always cold!) waterproof jacket for these cold and rainy Seattle winters. I am eyeing The North Face Metropolis III Hooded Water Resistant Down Parka and The North Face or the Arctic Waterproof 550-Fill-Power Down Parka. Lululemon also has some really warm coats (like this one), but are quite the splurge.

Girl Get After It 

Girl Get After It is a wellness movement bringing women together through sweatworking events and gear that gives back. I love to support this small business, based in Bozeman Montana, by repping their cute gear. Plus, they just partnered with Lululemon on a few pieces, too – super cool! Snag this cute Dreamer Tee, cozy sweatshirt, or pair of socks for your sister or bestie.

Equilibria CBD

I’ve been taking Equilibria’s Daily CBD drops for a couple of months and can say that it’s significantly helped with my chronic anxiety and has helped me to feel more calm overall. I take the mint drops morning and evening. Know someone who could use a bit of stress relief? Slip a bottle into their stocking this year!

All Equilibria products are of the highest quality, ethically sourced from their Colorado farm, fully traceable, and third-party tested. 

Use code REFHPARKER2 for $20 off your Equilibria order.

Shop Small This Season

While I’ve linked many of my favorite items that I use daily, along with some items that are on my wish list, I encourage you to think about shopping small this season by supporting small and local businesses – they need our support this year more than ever.

Here are a few ideas:

  • local restaurant gift certificates that can be used at a later date
  • local spa gift certificates that can be used at a later date
  • shop on Etsy
  • some of my favorite small businesses:
    • Broken Top Candle Company
    • Girl Get After It
    • Heyday Bozeman
    • Seattle Elderberry
    • Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.

This rare blue sky day in February is having me da This rare blue sky day in February is having me day dreaming about long, light-filled summer days... they’ll be here soon.

Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴 I was expect Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴

I was expecting all things beer, brats and pretzels in Leavenworth (not really my jam) 🍺🥨🧀, and while there’s plenty of it, I was delighted to find plenty of delicious eats for my “foodie” taste. 

We went to all of these 3 places more than once during our quick stay - highly recommend! 

☕️ @argonautespressobar: Located at one end of Front Street, this adorable coffee bar has delicious espresso drinks, breakfast items, and the best view! 

🥐 @tumwaterbakery: Incredible pastries, avocado toast on artisanal bread that’s a feast for your eyes... and I’m eager to go back and try their wood-fired pizza! 

🍜 @yodelinbroth: Literally some of the best food I’ve had (ever!), and that’s saying a lot. I had the Yodelin soup with housemade wild PNW halibut bone coconut curry broth, udon noodles, heaps of veggies and wild salmon - it was nourishing to my core as we ate it outside in 30 degree weather. I even bought some of the broth to recreate this meal at home, yum!

winter wonderland getaway ✔️ We had snow much winter wonderland getaway ✔️

We had snow much fun exploring the picturesque Bavarian town of Leavenworth, WA for a much-needed mid-week getaway to the mountains. 🏔

We stayed in a cozy little cabin @logecamps right on the Wenatchee River (one day I’ll be back to stay at the stunning @phleavenworth), played in Enchantment Park, took a drive to Lake Wenatchee, and discovered some of the best food downtown (I’m saving my food recs for another post).

Nestled between the snow-capped Cascade Mountains with the river running through town, it’s quite magical in the middle of winter. ❄️ I’m already dreaming of heading back for some summer adventures!
I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in Florida for two years.
