This is is a guide I’ve slowly been adding to over the last few months as I came across any unique, creative, or meaningful gifts that had a little extra sentimental value to them. Gift-giving is the opportunity to turn love and appreciation into physical keepsakes that let the people we love know how much they mean to us ❤️ With so many people prepping for the holidays early this year, I wanted to get my favorite gift guide up first! By the time December rolls around it’s usually too late to order these types of gifts that require a little extra time and customization. Get started on these early this year so they arrive in time with zero stress 😌 Would love to know if you order any of these, let me know in the comments on IG tonight!

I posted about this adorable candle company a little while ago on my stories ~ Scripted Fragrances. A super thoughtful way to customize a set of candles for a friend is with their personalized candle gift set. They have 6 collections to choose from: states, cities, birth month, wellness, seasons, and pets! And a portion of proceeds from each candle are donated to charity 💛 (you can use code OLIVIA at check out for 10% off).

This is one of the things I got Conner last year. I love this idea because photos are like a time capsule. This is the exact book I made for him (7×7 book in grey with 50 pages). The quality is amazing and they offer customization options like premium fabric binding, custom gold foil lettering, and words on the spine.

Framebridge is always my favorite for custom framing anything. Last year for Christmas we updated Nani’s family photo wall with brand new frames and she LOVED it. They can frame anything from a letter or old photograph to a small keepsake item. The second pic are the Chicago prints I had framed in our NY apartment.

My favorite slippers from Lands’ End! My best friend got me these for Christmas last year with my soon-to-be new initials. We were cracking up because it looks like the slippers say ‘HO HO’ when I’m looking down at them but it’s really OH (Olivia Hempel) lol. They’re on sale right now for only $35.96 with code RAKE. Pretty true to size, I’d say just a little snug.

    Wow, this is one of my favorite gift guides I’ve seen yet. So many *special* gift ideas shared here that I just haven’t seen mentioned elsewhere. I am totally keeping some of these in mind to buy later. Thank you so much!
