Favorite Things White Elephant Ideas
-
I always like to give things that elevate daily life in your house or for yourself - maybe something that you would feel ridiculous buying yourself - like kitchen gadgets that’ll cut and seal a cereal bag, a set of linen like guest towels for the bathroom, a fun wine stopper (anthro has so many), festive tea towel, also just bought myself the Owalla coffee tumbler and it’s INCREDIBLE and doesn’t leak and was reasonably priced, a set of garden shears to cut flowers, generic gift tags for birthday gifts, an air tag, etc.! So many options depending on the price point.

I feel this way too sometimes… but then I remember, ppl love a good rec… especially one they can try without buying! Win-win! I have a fav pancake mix from a restaurant in Aspen, and when I order, I always throw in an extra bag bc I’ve gifted it several times!!! Diva detergent from Amazon is always fun! Pretty candlesticks with tapers! My fav mascara is always a hit! Your fav cocktail mixings with a bottle of liquor wrapped up cute! Just something you know you really like that ppl wouldn’t necessarily buy themselves!

A Stitchy Fix (adds a tiny plastic stitch) is usually under the price limit for a favorite things and the BEST gadget I have in my closet. I also think of things my mother in law calls “thought gifts,” like a nice bar of good chocolate, candle, pack of stationary, etc. Basically something you would enjoy but wouldn’t always spend money on for yourself.

I love favorite things Parties! I usually bring a clean beauty favorite like a great blow out spray or face mask , a lovely cookbook and a bottle of wine or a unique kitchen tool that makes time in the kitchen easier like a butter crock.

I love dark chocolate and love getting Jojo's chocolates as gifts. They come in great flavors and perfect sizes. https://jojoschocolate.com/
I also love the Siete brand of products so love throwing a bunch of their products (chips, seasonings, cookies) in a cute basket. I also like doing Christmas ornaments related to that year or any events that took place. Or Holiday towels. I always feel like I need new ones! -
Things you love to use every day! Yummy scent reed-scent diffusers, guest hand towels, herb scissors, grill tongs, trader joes face oil and water-gel moisturizer. Think of gifting consumable items to avoid "decorating" someone else's home, things they can use and then toss.

Depending on price point:
Towel Warmer, book+bottle of wine, mahjong accessories, of course any candle, barefoot dreams blanket (on sale at nordstrom rack), face roller, blow dryer brush. I would love to receive any/all of these at a favorite things party -
Y’ALL. Scratch off lotto. It’s so fun, doesn’t take up room in your house, and is a chance to win money. Gets an A+ from me, esp for white elephant.
