Welcome to my first ever gift guides!!!
Gift Guides have always seemed off brand to me because I don’t subscribe to essentially exchanging money because a date on the calendar says so. I much prefer to spend quality time with loved ones doing holiday themed activities.
However, and this is a BIG however, I buy TF out of Holiday gifting items … for myself haha
I love holiday shopping and gifting type items, love it! So instead of other gift guides you may come across I have created lists of My Favorite Things that make great gifts.
You can shop for yourself or others, it’s up to you.
Every item I’m sharing I actually own or own a previous version of it. These are all confirmed Julia recommendations that I can put my name on.

UGG SLIPPER SOCKS
UGG + cozy sock, you can’t go wrong. I don’t own these but I did work at UGG once upon a time and can vouch, these are good!
CANDLE
This brand has strong scents and burn slow. Recommend! I always get woodsy scents but go for your preference. They have full size jars around $30 and mini’s for $12. The mini’s make great stocking stuffers or a part of an ensemble themed gift.
TINY NAME NECKLACE
A best seller from my shop *THANK YOU for your orders and support!!!*
This is perfect for young ladies that are still school age. The size is small enough to be age appropriate and the text is in cursive so strangers can’t read it easily.
Of course, this works for all women but if you’re looking for a name necklace for kids this is my top rec.
16″ chain is the chain length I recommend.
INITIAL NECKLACE
Another best seller from my shop.
This is available in gold or silver.
I have it in gold on a 14″ chain so it hits right at the clavicle.
My initial combo is “J<3”
SILK FACE MASK
I do NOT have this one but I’ve heard amazing things from girls who wear make-up and our acne prone. (I’m neither) The feedback is this helps your make-up stay put and helps with mask-ne.
It’s also beautiful! Available in 4 colors.
FUZZY SLIPPERS
DESIGNER FRAGRANCE
You can get any fragrance of course, Flower Bomb is my current favorite.
These make a great stocking stuffer or to add to a themed ensemble gift.
Pro Tip: I stick to purchasing the roller ball or travel sprays because it takes me at least 6 months to a year to work through one. If I buy a full size it’ll go bad before I get to use it all.
KIEL’S LIP BALM
Another great stocking stuffer. You can give the set, break it up to split between stockings or gift it to yourself.
L’OCCITANE HAND CREAM
Hands down the best hand cream, it is pricey but worth the splurge. I linked a gift set that you can use for yourself, give as a gift or break up and split between stockings.
GIFTS UNDER $25
LIP BALM
Great Stocking Stuffer!
LIP GLOSS
This is my favorite drug store lipgloss. I get the shade “creme brulee“
HAND CREAM
These tins are $1 a piece, the linked is a package of 8. This is a really great hand cream especially in the winter. I have these tins in my handbag, car and random drawers in the house.
HERRINGBONE NECKLACE
This is the Herringbone necklace I have and layer with all my name necklaces. I’ve had mine a few months and it hasn’t changed color or decreased in quality. I have a 20″ chain btw
HOOP EARRINGS
These are my favorite everyday earrings. I originally bought these because I needed a smaller pair of hoops that was easy to get my mask around. Since they’re become a daily wear.
DESIGNER INSPIRED SUNGLASSES
I have the ombre tortoise and all black, highly highly recommend!
THERMAL JAMMIE SET
Christmas jammie sets are my fave, this one is super affordable!
I size up in all my pajamas for full comfort.
UGG DUPE SLIPPERS
Just found these on Amazon, will be purchasing. They’re Jessica Simpson and I’m confident in their quality.
CHRISTMAS SOCKS
I LOVE a good fun sock! Even if no one sees them I know they’re there and they bring me joy. These are from the brand Happy Socks, I have a ton of their socks and purchased these.

YSL SWEATSHIRT
LOVE this sweatshirt! It’s an easy one to gift because you can get pretty much any size and it works.
I have one size up from my normal size and would even go two sizes up. I’m a medium and got a large.
I have a ton of the YSL sweatshirts and shirts. I have them all linked for you.
CHUNKY BEANIE
*don’t own* but LOVE! It’s possible I’ll order it. comes in a few different colors. Makes a great gift for siblings, friends or kids.
UGG CLASSIC MINI BOOTS
If you’re going to splurge this is IT!!! These are my favorite UGG boots I own, I have/had at least 10 pair. These are just so easy to slide on to run errands, walk the dog, etc. When it’s really cold outside I wear them with sweats or leggings and a long overcoat. UGG are true to size but only made in whole sizes if you’re a half size go down.
SCARF
Chic + Classic. Makes a good co-worker gift or secret santa or whatever type gift exchange people have at work.
THERMAL ONESIE
I buy one of these every year, I’m actually wearing the one I purchased last year while I write this. This style pictured and linked is what I bought this year.
FAUX FUR PUFFER
This is definitely a gift for you, your child or a niece. I got this one in the Black Faux Fur but it comes in 20 different texture and color options. There’s a camel faux leather that keeps staring at me. Then a tan sherpa that looks cozy, then this faux fur in grey looks super luxe! I have my TTS but it’s a little snug through the arms so I recommend sizing up.
FAIR ISLE WOOL SOCKS
These are in my Amazon cart, good for people who are always cold. It’s a pack of 4 so that means break em up for stocking stuffers lol
UGG SLIPPERS
UGG slippers are the best, seriously. It’s hard to go back to $20 slippers after these.
FLUFFY SLIPPERS
PERSONALIZED GIFTS FROM MY SHOP
All of these pieces are from my shop. I sincerely appreciate every single purchase and your support, it means so much to me.
All pieces are 18kt gold over sterling silver so they do not change colors or turn your skin green. They are made from actual gold! I’ve had some of my pieces more than 5 years and still wear them regularly.
NOVEMBER 27 is the last day to shop for Christmas delivery.
SOLID GOLD CARRIE NAME NECKLACE
This is a splurge but also a keepsake you will have forever. It’s literally the most stunning piece. I have it on a 16″ chain.
HEART RING
A fun piece for the young ladies and the young at heart. I have mine to fit my pinky finger. I didn’t think I’d love it as much as I do but it’s one of my favorite rings. Comes in gold or silver.
INITIAL NECKLACE
A best seller from my shop.
This is available in gold or silver.
I have it in gold on a 14″ chain so it hits right at the clavicle.
My initial combo is “J<3”
CHUNKY NAME NECKLACE
My current favorite and daily wear is this one! It’s recently gotten some shine on Tik Tok and has become a best seller as a result.
I wear mine on a 16″ chain.
Available in gold or silver.
DEVON SIGNET RING
I’ve had mine about 3 years, I still love and wear it weekly. Another pinky ring for me.
CARRIE NAME HOOPS
These give 90’s Around the Way vibes and I’m here for it. I wear these a lot in the Winter because sweater weather means my necklaces are covered and I like these statement earrings poppin at the top of my turtlenecks.
3D BAR NECKLACE
This is a perfect gift for a Mom or Grandmother. You can get up to 4 names, one engraved on each side. I wear mine as a layering piece and got it on a 20″ chain to frame my other necklaces.
INITIAL BAR NECKLACE
A really cute and subtle piece, perfect for layering or wearing in the Winter. I got mine on a 14″ chain so it sits right on my clavicle and pops when I wear hoodies.
EAR CRAWLERS
These make a great gift for a Mom of two, as you can get two different names. I also love these for sweater weather too. They still make a statement without hanging off your lobe and getting caught up on all the layers.
SCRIPT NAME NECKLACE
Hands down, a top seller for 2020. This is perfect for gifting a proper lady lol
I wear mine on a 16″ chain.
Available in gold or rose.
