2025 My Favorite Things Gift List - Dabillaroundthetable

My Favorite Things 2025 gift list is finally out. These are my favorite things, personally, or to give as gifts. Consider this your list of gifts to give to family and friends in 2026. Perfect ideas for Christmas, Birthdays, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, or just because.

Stocking Stuffers

Give a small stick Frother as a stocking stuffer. We use our $5.99 frother for tea mix-ins, coffee, hot cocoa, and protein shakes 2-3 times a day. A battery will last for 6 months, and you will wonder how you ever got along without it.

New pens and a fun journal notebook. Everyone loves a good pen or a new journal notebook. These are the pens I love. Grab them at Walmart or Target.

Gifts for the Home

New Sofa Blanket. This is for someone who has everything. I bet they would love a new cream, tan, or gray sofa blanket. You can get one in cozy fluffiness or get a cotton one if they love that. My sister gave me one last year in cream, and it is cozy on the sofa.

Mixtiles are perfect for sharing a family picture or a scenic picture. I put up five travel photos on my wall to add to my home décor. Any mixtile as a gift would be fun to decorate the wall.

Personal Care

Dime – I am in love with the Dime Dewy Day crème as my daily moisturizer. This is at a great price, and a little goes a long way. Plus, it is a clean facial product—the perfect gift for a woman. DIME link to purchase.

Lip Mask- This may be on my list every year. I found a dupe, and it’s at Trader Joe’s for around $6. It is best to put on your lips each night. My lips feel great all day after my night lip mask.

Kitch Shampoo Bars– I am a fan of these after I converted my shampoo to this brand. A bar will last me 6-8 months, and my hair has never felt better. I gave these with the soap bags to my sisters as birthday gifts this year.

Food Gifts

Just Ingredients Protein Powder. I am in love with this powder. A few times a week, I make a shake mixed with my frother and coconut milk. My faves are the chocolate coconut and the chocolate peppermint. You can buy sample packs to try each kind. A great gift for someone who likes protein shakes and is health-conscious. Just Ingredients link to purchase.

Pumpkin seeds. Pumpkin seeds are so good for you. Nutrients in them include magnesium, other minerals, as well as protein and fiber. A handful a day is perfect to eat or add to salads. I love the sprouted seeds from Costco. The giant bag has a great price, so grab this for your friends and family.

Meat subscription– I am dreaming of this gift. So I thought everyone would love this. I’d love to order my meats and fish from a company each month. This is pricey but practical.

Big bag of food from Trader Joe’s. If you want to be fun, buy a fun bag and go shopping for a family member at Trader Joe’s. Fill the bag with healthy treat foods and seasonal items that are shelf-stable. My sister used to do this for me when she visited every Thanksgiving because I didn’t have one of these stores in my town. She is the one who got me hooked.

Teccino coffee drink- this is like tea, but it is a chicory herbal hot drink. It is a great alternative to coffee. No caffeine with many subtle flavors. I like to mix mine with coconut milk and vanilla collagen or make it into a latte. Perfect if you want to cut back on coffee. I like variety, so this is in my coffee, tea, and matcha rotation.

Balsamic vinegars and Extra Virgin olive oils. Head to an olive oil store and buy some infused vinegars and good olive oils. I love lemon white balsamic vinegar on salads, and we always buy an olive oil with high polyphenol content, which is healthy for you. The olive oil tastes a bit peppery, which makes it a good quality oil.

Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups– if you are talking treats, then these are a winner. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t love these. I’ve gotten a few people hooked on them. If you only go to Trader Joe’s 2 times a year. You can buy them for yourself or as a gift.

Books for Gifts

Bible Recap Book– If you don’t start Bible Recap to study the Bible each day on the podcast or the YouVersion Bible app, then you need to get this book so you can read it each day. This is perfect for someone who doesn’t want to do the Bible Recap Study on their phone.

Journal the Word Bible. I love that I can take notes on the side of my bible. While I am doing my Bible Recap each day, I can journal notes or write God shots on the side. If you normally don’t write in your bible, you must. It helps you keep track of the details you learn. This is a great gift all year long.
