Favorite Things Gift Guide 2024

Every holiday season I have two favorite things parties I attend with girlfriends and I look forward to them all year! At each party we bring a gift, around $50 value, and do a gift exchange where we pick numbers to choose gifts and when it is our turn to open we can pick an unopened gift or steal one that has already been opened. It is a blast and a fun way to discover new products that also make great gift ideas. I have rounded up all the ideas that were gifted from the two parties I attended. Keep in mind, some of these items were gifted together to get to the $50 value and some were purchased during sales like Black Friday, so off sale may be priced a little higher than $50.

Your own parents or in-laws can be some of the toughest on your wish list. I personally love giving either group gifts with my siblings or experience gifts if we can because I think that is what they truly cherish the most.

Experience Gift Guides

We can all likely agree we have a lot of "stuff" and sometimes the best gifts aren't actually products. Kids can especially get overwhelmed during the holidays opening tons of presents and what better way to curb this craze than by gifting a unique experience.

White Elephant Gift Guide

I was shocked at how many requests I had last year for white elephant gift ideas. While I am personally not a huge fan of these gifts that don't always get good use, it is always an overwhelming request to include it in gift guides! I asked the community last year to weigh in on gifts they have given or have received that would be perfect for white elephant gifts. A mix of silly, stupid and useful!

Father’s Day Gift Guide

Father's Day falls early this year on June 16th! Men are hard to shop for, but when you find quality products they like, many times I find myself buying multiple pairs of things for my husband. Custom gifts are always a cute idea to gift from kids too that they will love taking part in gifting. Outside of this round up, my husband always appreciates experience gifts like tickets to a concert, sporting event or an organized golf outing with friends!

Non-Toy Gift Guide

Most parents probably feel like they are swimming in toys. Some of my favorite things to gift my own kids or others for birthdays and holidays are gifts that aren't a toy, instead a practical and often sentimental item that I know will get a lot of use. This is especially true when buying things for a younger sibling who already has plenty of hand me down toys at their house. We polled the community after the holidays on what some of your favorite gifts your kids received are that aren't a toy.

Favorite Things Gift Guide 2023

This year my girlfriends and I had our 2nd annual Favorite Things holiday party. Everyone was tasked with bringing a gift in the $50 price range, something they love and adore and bonus points if it hasn't been shared on Everyday Best Buy before! At the party we all draw numbers and then get to choose a present in number order. Each gift can be stolen up to 2 times. It is such a fun tradition I cannot wait to continue and a great way to be introduced to new products and gifts each year!
