December is one of my favorite times of the year. I love holiday shopping and putting up Christmas decor (never mind that ours has been up since November 1), and I also really love the cold feeling in the air. Everything is so festive and fun!

One of my favorite work-related tasks each holiday season is creating my holiday gift guides. I always put together specific gift idea lists for different categories. Most recently, I shared my best gift ideas for the guys in your life (the hardest to shop for) and cute gift ideas for kids under 5 (since that’s my life stage), gifts for her (really just my favorite things), the best gifts to give your parents, and even a runner-specific guide. And today, I’m creating a retailer-specific guide, since I know so many of us prefer to order things from the same place when we can.

What is that one place? Amazon, of course! There’s nothing better than free shipping on something that arrives the next day. And since Amazon carries many of my favorite retailers and items, I love that I can find great gifts for people in my life in one place. And it doesn’t hurt that they have such competitive pricing when searching for affordable Christmas gifts like stocking stuffers.

Today, I’m rounding up my favorite gift ideas from our favorite one-stop-shop. I’m breaking this post up into His and Hers so you can easily scroll and find ideas for those you’re shopping for. I have all of my gift ideas consolidated into one place here on the blog (see my comprehensive gift guide here), as well.

I also have a TON of specific gift guides on my Amazon Storefront, so if you’re shopping for someone more specifically (teen boys and girls, white elephant parties, beauty or hostess-themed gifts, you name it), and you know you want to order from Amazon, you can see all of those Amazon gift guides on my Storefront here.

My Favorite Amazon Gift Ideas (for him and her)

For her

I’m sharing a few of my top picks below, but you can always find more ideas in my Gifts For Her list on my Amazon Storefront.

Owala Water Bottle

The Owala water bottle knocks all the rest of the trendy water bottles off their high horse. I own the Stanley tumbler and this Simple Modern version, and the Owala water bottle is 10x better. While it doesn’t look like it has a straw, the straw is actually internal, and you can access it by opening the lid. It also has a “chugging” feature if you want to bypass the straw. It does not leak (they can throw it in their gym bag), has a slimmer look, weighs less, and the price is better. If you want to spend a bit more, pair the water bottle with a gift card, a candle, some LMNT electrolytes, or lipgloss.

Ember Mug

I use my Ember mug every single day. I was confused about it at first because I thought it had to sit on the coaster to re-heat, but the coaster is just where it charges when you’re not using it. Then, once you’ve poured your coffee, it re-heats anytime you want (just press the button) so you never have to take a cold sip. Those of you with busy kids know that you rarely get to drink your coffee while it’s hot, and this mug changes that. I gift one of these to my new-mom friends, often paired with a LAKE robe (here’s my full review of LAKE pajamas and loungewear).

Israel Coffee Table Book

This coffee table book is a mix of beautiful images and devotionals written by Tara-Leigh Cobble, who hosts The Bible Recap. I did the Bible Recap last year and loved it. I loved looking through this book as I read the Bible. It’s so cool to see photos of the places I was reading about, and I love that this book is decor on its own. I gifted one to my MIL for Mother’s Day two years ago, and she loves it.

Goop Dry Brush

It’s always fun to receive fun beauty products you wouldn’t buy for yourself, like this dry brush. Dry brushing is a trend from the beauty world I can get behind, so if you’re looking for a small gift to give someone who keeps up with beauty and wellness trends, this Goop Dry Brush is just the thing. You could also go bigger and get this Goop body brush + body oil bundle. I would love to receive something like this!

goop Beauty Scalp Scrub Shampoo

On the topic of goop products, this goop Beauty Scalp Scrub Shampoo is such a wonderful gift for any beauty-lover. It’s a scalp scrub and shampoo in one, and It gets every once of product build-up out of your hair for a fresh wash. I recommend using this once a week when your product build-up really starts to get out of control. It strips your hair a bit too much to use daily. Since you’ll only use this once a week or so, it lasts FOREVER.

Aesop Resurrection Aromatique Hand Wash

If you’re looking for a nice hostess gift to take to someone you’re staying with this holiday season, the Aesop Reverence Aromatique Hand Wash is a perfect gift. Luxurious hand soap is one of those things that people don’t frequently buy for themselves but LOVE to have in their powder bathroom. The Aesop Reverence Aromatique Hand Wash smells clean and expensive. It’s not floral or super sweet, but rather, the scent you’d expect in a luxury hotel. I love the packaging too.

Cotton Makeup Bag

This Cotton Makeup Bag is adorable, decent-sized, and has the perfect price tag for a stocking. I love the blue and white floral print too, which makes it look much more expensive than $11.

Oversized Zipper Collared Pullover

This knit pullover is one of my favorite Amazon tops to wear with leggings. I love that it covers my bum and fits very oversized, and since the sizing is so forgiving, it would make a great gift! I have a size small.

Silk Pillowcase

This silk pillowcase was a best-seller during the Prime Big Deal Days and for good reason. It’s very hard to find real silk at such an affordable price! I love that these come in many colors and sizes and that they have a hidden zipper making them very streamlined for the rest of your bedding. I ordered a handful of these to gift for Christmas this year. They’d make wonderful stocking stuffers or affordable gifts for friends – just roll them up nicely and tie with a ribbon and gift tag!

Trader Joe’s 5 Items or Less Cookbook

This Trader Joe’s 5 Items or Less Cookbook would be such a fun gift to give a girlfriend or college student! I don’t shop at Trader Joe’s super often, but I know many people do!

NEOM Real Luxury Reed Diffuser

As someone who always struggles with strong scents, I always wished I could find a diffuser that didn’t make my throat close. I like a diffuser for a powder room more than a candle since the scent is constant and I don’t have to remember to light a candle. This brand makes the BEST clean scents. I don’t react to them, and I order them time and time again when I run out. Snag the NEOM Real Luxury Reed Diffuser for yourself and get one to gift.

Tortoise Shell Stemless Wine Glasses

I gifted these wine glasses to my content manager for her birthday and then my nanny got me a set for my birthday, and I love them! They come in a set of 2, are made of the best thick/substantial blown glass material, and look so chic. And for only $30, you could gift two sets if you wanted to make a more full set!

Kindle E-Reader

As someone who is a real book lover, I was hesitant to get an e-reader, but I honestly LOVE mine! It’s so convenient, especially because I can leave it in my purse all day and read whenever I have to wait for an appointment. It’s also more comfortable to read in bed since I can read one-handed. The books are cheaper on Kindle too.

For Him

Similar to above, I’m highlighting my favorite Amazon finds below, but you’ll find more gift ideas in my Gifts for Him idea list on my Amazon Storefront.

Deep Tissue Massage Gun

We own and love the Theragun, but it’s pretty expensive. And I do think it’s worth the price! But if you’re looking for a budget-friendly option, I recommend trying the TOLOCO budget-friendly option. It has a ton of great reviews. What guy doesn’t want a tool to help them loosen those sore muscles and knots in their back!? It saves you from giving back rubs, too. Win-win.

Record Player

I really love the idea of gifting a record player + some special records. It’s so fun to find old records at local stores, and you could begin a collection together. You can find some VERY expensive record players on the market, but this one for $40 on Amazon is too good to pass up. It also has bluetooth and AUX cord capabilities, so you’re not limited to vinyl.

Mini Portable Charger Power Bank

This portable charging bank is not a boys-only gift by any means, but it’s definitely a great option for the guys in your life if they’re complaining about their phone’s lack of charge all the time. I bought two of these for myself over Prime Big Deal Days, so that I could keep one in my purse and one in my office. I love that you can keep using your phone while it’s charging your battery and that it doesn’t have any cords. If you keep it charged so that you can use it whenever you need, it’s such a blessing. No more excuses of phones dying while on the golf course. 😉

Oral-B Pro Electric Toothbrush

This Oral-B Pro is the toothbrush both Tommy and I have and love. A toothbrush may not be the most “fun” gift you could think of this season, but many guys like practical things. Just be sure to clarify that you’re not gifting this because of bad breath 😉

Chirp Wheel Foam Roller

I’ve seen people talk about these back-and-neck foam rollers on Instagram, and I think Tommy would LOVE them. If your husband or boyfriend constantly complains about back pain, these Chirp Wheel Foam Rollers would make a great gift. You lay on them and they help release the tension in your back and neck. Sounds heavenly.

Solo Stove Ranger 2.0

The Solo Stove fire pit is a gift for the whole family. It’s the greatest addition to a backyard space.

Eyeris 1 Eye Massager with Heat

These eye massagers make me giggle, but SO many people rave about them! They would be a great gift for any husband or dad who loves tech things (or is just overworked). I would honestly love to try them myself.

JBL Clip 3

A portable bluetooth speaker is always a great gift, but I LOVE that this one has a clip! It’s perfect to attach to a golf bag. Think of all the ways they could use this — even just clipping it to their belt loop while they do house projects!

I’ll continue to add to my Amazon Storefront whenever I find more gift ideas for Him or Her. Make sure you’re following me there! And I always send out Amazon finds every Sunday to my email list, so be sure to join the list here.
