❄2021 Christmas Gift Ideas ~ A Few of My Favorite Things ❄

It's that time of year again. Thanksgiving, Christmas, and deals, deals, DEALS. I don't know about you, but I have a love/hate with that part of this time of year. I love the deals, but hate that it is all at the same time. Almost too many deals. LOL.

I thought I would put together a little list of things that I think would be great gifts to hopefully help if you are looking for ideas. :) 

I got the inspiration for this post from Rissi at Finding Wonderland (check out her post here).

Gift cards~

I'm kind of curious what your opinion is on giving gift cards as gifts? I personally love receiving them...I get to pick out something I don't already own and have been wanting. It's like the perfect gift to me. lol

❄ What are your thoughts? 

Blue Light Blocking Glasses~

I love these blue light blocking glasses. I feel like they actually work, compared to other glasses I've tried, and yet they barely change the color of what you are looking at. I love to use them especially at night if I'm watching a movie or video on my tablet. Super comfortable to wear. 

Bookmarks~

I have this bookmark. I did have to retie the tassel after several months, but I love the saying and the price was relatively cheap. They have several bookmarks with different cute sayings...this was my favorite, although the "Not Meow, I'm Reading" one with a cat was also adorable. :)

Phone Shoulder Carry Bag~

I love this bag. It is amazing to be able to securely carry around your phone, keys, etc., and know that it is safely in the bag. I like how it has multiple pockets and yet is pretty slim and lightweight. Especially great for long walks and shopping trips.

Winter Hat and Scarf Set~

This is a soft and warm set. Stretchy material and comfortable. I love how the infinity scarf stays around your neck and you don't have to worry about it hooking anything. Definitely recommend. 

Silicone Heat Resistant Travel Mat Pouch~

I highly recommend this silicone mat for anyone who uses hot hair tools. I love how you can put your hair curler in the pouch when unplugged/done using and it makes it safer for the cool down/storage. They have other more "fun" colors, as well.

Kindle Fire or Paperwhite~

I have much older versions of the Kindle Fire and Kindle Paperwhite. I'm thinking I got them in 2013 for the Fire and 2014 for my Paperwhite. But I love them. I definitely use my Fire more often for reading, but that is just a preference of mine. My mom prefers the Paperwhite, so it really is different for each person.

Music~

Music, like books, are definitely subjective to the person it's being gifted to; but, here are a few of my personal favorite albums. :)

• Love is the Evidence by Citizen Way
• 2.0 by Citizen Way
• Love is a Lion by Citizen Way
• A Way to See in the Dark by Jason Gray
• Where the Light Gets In by Jason Gray

Books!

Lastly, here are some 2021 releases that I really enjoyed and think would be great gifts, if the reader enjoys that specific genre. 

• Beyond the Tides by Liz Johnson (contemporary romance)
• Provenance by Carla Laureano (contemporary romance)
• Let It Be Me (book 2) by Becky Wade (contemporary romance)
• Bookshop by the Sea by Denise Hunter (contemporary romance)
• Chasing Shadows by Lynn Austin (WWII historical)
• When Twilight Breaks by Sarah Sundin (WWII historical)
• All Through the Night by Tara Johnson (Civil War historical)
• Tidewater Bride by Laura Frantz (historical romance)
• Dreams of Savannah by Roseanna M. White (Civil War historical)
• Unknown Threat by Lynn H. Blackburn (romantic suspense)
