2024 Gift Guides Part 2 – Beauty & Accessories, Wellness, Books Lovers, Stocking Stuffers & White Elephant

The first category is STOCKING STUFFERS & WHITE ELEPHANT. My white elephant is one of my favorite events of the year, so last year I got inspired by that and did a guide just for that (here is the 2023 one) so I figured I would also continue this year. Here are small gifts or lower priced gifts that pack a punch.

BOOK LOVERS

As always a book is always a fabulous idea for a gift for a book lover, and you will find plenty of inspiration on books in this blog. Or just gift a book of the month/ a bookstore gift certificate and people will be very happy. But here some fun ideas (i started doing this one when i was shopping for my book club white elephant, and just to finish it got inspired adding some other things my book club friends found!)
