'18 Holiday Shopping Guide by Espresso Myself
/Holiday shopping, while fun, can be daunting for even the most avid shopper. Thankfully, I’m here to make it a little bit easier - just in time for the Black Friday and Cyber Monday madness. You’re welcome. 😏
I’ve compiled a list of products I either use every day and am totally obsessed with, or ones I would love to have for myself. As well as descriptions of some of my favorites to help guide your inspiration. And I’m even lucky enough to have coupon codes for some of my favorite brands to hand out!
You might notice that many of these items are listed on Amazon and that's simply because I love Amazon - it's the way of the future, my friends. Everyone likes ease and convenience - especially during what’s considered the most hectic season of the year for most folks.
So, have a gander at my selections - I hope some of these can inspire and aid your shopping this holiday season. The best part is: if you use the image links and coupon codes below, I’ll get credit for your purchases and be able to offer more great ideas and codes in the future - win win!
gifts i love and so will they
This journal has changed my life. Spending a few minutes reflecting on the things that matter and all the good parts of my day has helped improve even my worst days. #positivity
This amazing watch recommendation comes with exciting news! I’ve recently joined forces with Arvo as one of their newest Brand Ambassadors! Shop anything on their site and use the coupon code above for an awesome 15% discount! I can’t wait for my watch to come in the post. It’ll be the perfect addition to my collection.
Fossil and Cath Kidston are two of my all-time favorite accessory companies. You can’t go wrong with either of them for any bag or travel-lover in your life. And what’s not to love about Jeremy Clarkson? As a self-proclaimed Anglophile, I adore British humor and I imagine just about everyone else would, too. He’s a real hoot. His books are the perfect gift for anyone who loves books and a giggle.
I have this sweater in two different colors and it’s one of my absolute favorite articles of clothing. So soft, warm, and it fits perfectly and washes like a dream. The scarf is from one of my other fav UK brands - Joules. I have it in another color and I wear it all winter long!
Ever thought of getting someone you love a subscription to their favorite magazine? No? Well, think about it this way - a subscription to Vogue will bring someone joy once a month, all year long. And the kettle and hot water bottle are the perfect gifts for that practical person on your list - and also compliment each other perfectly as a set. Plus, how cute is that little plush cover?
Recognize those earrings? Yep, they’re the ones from my Stitch Fix a few months back, which you can read about here.
I can’t get enough of my Onepiece onesie. I wore it to class all throughout college. Now, it’s less acceptable for me to wear in public, but I’m rarely not wearing it when I’m lounging around the house.
I’ve been a fan of Abercombie cologne, Reebok shoes, and Fossil watches for as long as I can remember. And Fossil’s new hybrid smart watches are absolutely epic. I am completely in love with mine and so would any watch lover on your list.
stocking stuffers I can’t get enough of
I own and use each and every single one of these products, both above and below, and swear by all of them. Any questions at all about any of them, leave it in the comments below!
Teeth whitening is a self-care habit that I take very seriously and Pro Teeth Whitening is one of the UK’s leading brands for doing just that. Use my coupon code and give someone a beauty gift they’ll love - or see how great this vegan and 100% natural product is for yourself. Merry Christmas. 😘
gifts i would love to see under my tree
And just for funsies, I thought I’d throw in a few things that I’d love to have make an appearance under my tree. *hint hint* Because there’s no better endorsement than wanting something yourself. Plus, it never hurts to throw my friends and family a bone once in a while, right?
Has your coupon code expired by the time you're checking out? Don't worry, I can work my magic and make another appear - just leave me a message below!
Didn’t find exactly what you’re looking for? Let me know! I might have something else in my Santa bag that could help you out. Maybe even a special coupon code or two just for you. ❤️
Happy hunting, friends. And happy holidays from Espresso Myself.
