2021 Holiday Gift Guide

Am I the only person that feels like this year flew by? It seems like we were just making our lists of New Year resolutions and, yet, here we are, less than 2 months away from Christmas. I know everyone is currently taking in the essence of fall; the crisp sweater weather, the pumpkin spice lattes, the festive porch décor, and the chic and cozy fall fashion is hard to glaze over. But let’s face it, Christmas will be here before we know it. Instead of waiting until the last minute to do your holiday shopping, start grabbing some Christmas gifts now. And just in case you have no clue of where to start, no worries- I’ve got you covered.

I’ve created a 2021 Holiday Gift Guide with some amazing Christmas gifts you can get for your loved ones. Shameless plug, all of them are from Nordstrom…because, well, Nordstrom has all the Christmas gifts you need for this holiday season. The holiday gift guide below really runs the gamut; pajamas, skin care, candles, cookware, fragrances and more. Everything is linked below so all you have to do is click and shop!

I have personally already purchased almost all of these items, but I wanted to share a little more in depth about some of the Kiehl’s products I’ve been loving that will make the perfect Christmas gifts.

First up is the Kiss Me With Kiehl’s Lip Balm Trio. I consider lip balms to be one of those universally appreciated Christmas gifts, so I tend to search for those first. The Kiss Me With Kiehl’s lip Balm Trio has their original scent, plus two customer-favorite scents: mint and cranberry. These lip balms have three key ingredients:  1) Squalane, which absorbs easily and is known to help replenish the skin’s barrier, keeping it soft, supple and moisturized. 2) Aloe Vera, which is known to hydrate and soothe skin. 3) Vitamin E, which is known to help neutralize skin-damaging free radicals and is used in products that offer moisturization. You can’t go wrong with this set!

Next up is the Kiehl’s Brighten Up & Glow Set. The name itself tells you everything you need to know, but I’ll sum it up: this is a skincare set to help brighten up your skin and give you that glow that we all love. It comes with 4 products: 

• Ultra Facial Cleanser
• Clearly Corrective Dark-Spot Corrector
• Ultra Facial Cream
• Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Dark Circle-Diminishing Vitamin C Eye Serum

The products in this set will help with the appearance of aging and will help restore the skin’s moisture barrier. They also draw moisture into skin’s surface layers, and visibly brighten, boost clarity, and reduce the look of dark spots. These products individually are $150 in value, but you can get the full set for only $92! Add this to your cart now and thank me later.

We can’t forget about the fellas, so the last item I want to mention is the Ultimate Man Soap trio. This is a full-sized trio of “fatigue-scrubbing” bar soap to cleanse and exfoliate skin. I know men typically don’t take skin care as seriously as women do, so this is the perfect gift to ease them into some self-care. The key ingredients in the soaps are: 1) Pumice, which works as a natural exfoliant, helping to remove dead and rough skin for smoother results. 2) Oat bran, which is extracted from the outer casing of the oat grain and helps soothe and condition skin. 3) Oat kernel meal, which is derived by grinding kernels of oats, and acts as a natural exfoliant. This is the perfect Christmas gift for the lucky man in your life.

I could go on and on about how the Kiehl’s products make the perfect Christmas gifts, but in the interest of time, here is a holiday gift guide to get you started. Let me know in the comments below some Christmas gifts you have your eyes on.

Thank you to Kiehl’s and Nordstrom for sponsoring this post.
