Closing Thoughts
Holiday Gift Guide 2025
Happy shopping, friends! I hope this roundup makes your holiday gift-giving a little easier—and a lot more fun. There’s something so satisfying about finding the perfect gift at the perfect price, and with sales this good, you can afford to treat yourself a little too (I won’t tell). Whether you’re stocking up on cozy cashmere from Quince, grabbing those festive accessories from Talbots, or finally investing in that Spanx AirEssentials set you’ve been eyeing, these Black Friday deals are the real deal. My advice? Don’t wait too long—the best stuff always sells out fast, especially at these prices. Grab a cup of coffee, settle in, and enjoy some guilt-free shopping from the comfort of your couch. You’ve earned it.
What’s on your wish list this year? I’d love to hear what you’re shopping for!
For me I loved everything in the Quince list. Added the waffle weave robe x 2… one for guest room and one for ME! Everything I’ve gotten from Quince is exceptional— I already know this won’t disappoint.
Thank you for the lists and Happy Thanksgiving!
I like that your post includes lots of gifts! I need to get on that as the holidays will be here in a blink.
Thanks for this great list! I’m headed to the Quince site now—love their cashmere!
Great suggestions! This time of year I need all the help I can get. Happy Holidays
Hi Beth. & Kelly,
I do not respond very often to your blog but I know you are “Wonder Woman,” and admire all that you do and who you are in this world.
It’s a time to be thankful, blessed, grateful, and gather. We are so fortunate that we live in “comfort and ease” aren’t we?
I have formed the “kindness club” Arizona Chapter. No bumper sticker required. HA ha! It’s just being more accountable each day, being super good to yourself and good to others. Smiles are FREE, it can make someone’s day. You never know what’s going on in another person’s life.
You always show up no matter what.
In appreciation and gratitude.
I hope you are having a lovely day.
Enjoyed your casual outfits in this post.I will be setting out in one much like your cream colored look very early in the AM. It is Black Friday and shopping a couple of days with family leads to great results and much joy. I hope you had adelightful Thanksgiving and wishing you a Merry Christmas.
Great gifting options! Thank you!
Merry Christmas, Beth! I feel like you are a friend of mine with whom I consult when I’m in a style rut. You have been a blessing to me since your San Francisco days, and I am thankful for you. May the Lord continue to bless and keep you.
My favorite was the Talbots list! The gold puffer vest and green holiday loafers are fantastic! Just like you, Beth! Thank you for all of the positivity all year long! And a shout out to Kelly and Jennifer! And hugs to Oscar and Ollie!
Thank you for doing all the research for me!
I enjoyed seeing your picks from the various retailers that seldom if ever disappoint. You make ordering easier fur the rest of us.
Love the holiday guides and all your great tips Beth! Happy Holidays!
I think I’ll get the quince Bernie for my daughter in law.
Thank you for the lists. It makes shopping so much easier with such great ideas. Happy holidays! Eileen
