Choosing Thoughtful Gifts (and Kindness) This Christmas

Last-Minute Christmas Gifts (and a Reminder to Be Kind to Yourself)

If you’re doing some last-minute Christmas shopping, you’re not alone. This season has a way of moving fast — full calendars, big emotions, and a lot of pressure to get everything “just right.”

Before we dive in, here’s the practical stuff:

🎄 Last day to order for on-time Christmas delivery:
👉 12/16/2025
Orders placed after this date may still arrive, but can’t be guaranteed before Christmas.

Now… let’s talk about gifts — and grace.

Thoughtful Gifts Don’t Have to Be Expensive

Some of the most meaningful gifts are small, intentional, and chosen with care. A piece of jewelry that reminds someone they’re loved. A symbol that reflects who they are or where they’re headed. Something beautiful they wouldn’t normally buy for themselves.

I’ve curated a collection of gifts under $25 that are perfect for:

• Stocking stuffers

• Teachers, coworkers, and friends

• Last-minute add-on gifts

• Or a little “thinking of you” moment

These pieces are simple, wearable, and full of meaning — made to feel special without stretching your budget.

A Gentle Reminder This Season

This time of year can bring joy… but it can also bring stress, comparison, and exhaustion. If you’re feeling behind, overwhelmed, or just done — you’re not failing. You’re human.

Kindness — especially toward yourself — has real benefits:

• It supports better mental health

• Helps reduce stress and burnout

• Strengthens relationships (starting with the one you have with yourself)

• Creates more space for creativity, patience, and joy

So if you need permission to:

• Buy one less gift

• Choose simpler options

• Order something meaningful instead of “perfect”

• Or treat yourself while you’re shopping for others

Consider this your sign. 🤍
