I'm an Organizing Expert, and Here's What I'm Gifting This Holiday Season

Williams Sonoma Hold Everything Coffee and Tea Stackable Canisters ($30-$63)

This stylish, airtight glass canister with an ash scoop and wood lid is the perfect gift for any coffee lover. Fill it with their favorite blend or a gift card for their favorite local coffee shop. Cheers!

"LifeStyled: Your Guide to a More Organized & Intentional Life" ($28)

Quick plug for my new book, "LifeStyled," which shares a game-changing toolkit to help you edit, organize, and elevate every area of life, from your home to your health, career, and relationships. Wrap it in a pretty ribbon, or bundle it with my other giftable titles like "Minimalista" or "Organized Living" for a complete set.

Fluffy Bag Charm Keychain ($16-$25)

It's chic, it's absurdly oversized, and it's impossible to lose. This fluffy keychain makes the perfect stocking stuffer (or pair it with the Birdie for an added layer of safety). Gift it to your best friend or the teen who just got their driver's license.

Cuyana Medium Travel Case ($98)

This chic, easy-to-clean pebbled leather travel case has been my go-to gift for years. Fill it with a few favorite accessories — like a lip balm, key chain, hand cream, etc. — add the optional monogram, and hold for applause.

DedCool x Ouai Melrose Place Dedtergent ($38)

Laundry soap as a gift? Yes, trust me on this one. This nontoxic, vegan formula is scented with rose, bergamot, and white musk, and comes in chic, plastic-free packaging. It might just turn laundry day into something to look forward to.

Botnia Starter Set ($95)

This organic skin-care set from Botnia is a perfect gift for anyone who loves clean beauty. Featuring sustainable, plant-based ingredients, the set includes everything needed for a simple yet luxurious skincare routine.

Not only does it reduce waste by investing in fewer, high-quality products, but it's also great for your skin. The packaging is minimal and eco-friendly, and each product is designed to nourish without harmful toxins. Give the gift of glowing skin and peace of mind, knowing you're supporting a female-founded brand that prioritizes sustainability and wellness.

Away Carry-On ($206, originally $275)

For the jetsetter in your life, allow me to introduce my favorite compact suitcase of all time. Mine has been all over the world and still looks brand new. Pair with the matching packing cubes (the ultimate space saving hack) and this monogrammed passport case for the ultimate stylish travel set.

Evermill Counter Top Rack ($229)

This stunning spice rack stocked with a full set of organic spices elevates any kitchen and is a guaranteed crowd pleaser. Evermill even has a spice refill program so you can order the perfect amount to restock each jar. (An organizer's dream!) I probably get more compliments on this than anything else in our home.

Food and beverage based gifts are delightful to receive, and they are a great way to support small and/or local businesses. For the sweet tooth in your life (my hand is raised), favorites include a Tony's Chocolonely Bundle ($44), a Jeni's Pint Club Subscription ($199-$759), a Mochidoki Mochi Gift Box ($100), or Levain Cookie Gift Box Bundle ($85) from the iconic bakery in NYC.

For the coffee lover, try a coffee subscription bundle from MistoBox ($60-$240), and for the wine lover you can't go wrong with Helen's Wine Club ($55-$150).

Also, Goldbelly delivers cult foodie favorites like deep dish pizza and the perfect New York bagel nationwide, which makes for a unique gift for the food lover in your life. Plus, zero waste.

Think outside the box with experience-based gifts like a floral arranging workshop, spa treatment, cooking class, tarot reading, wardrobe styling, or home organizing session.

For a truly meaningful gift, consider Family Love Letters, a Bay Area company that helps elders capture their life stories in beautifully personalized letters for their families. It's the gift that keeps on giving.
