I’m so excited to bring you my F I R S T  G I F T  G U I D E of the 2019 Holiday season!  This one is packed full of unique and thoughtful holiday gift ideas for teachers, hostesses, stylists and other service related folks on your list that you might want to treat this season!  I have carefully read through countless reviews and price points to pull this guide together.  Everything here is under $50!  I hope you find this helpful!  I’d love to know what your fave pick is!  Tell me below in the comments!

FOR THE TEACHERS

They take care of our kiddos day in and day out, and this is an important time to let them know you’re thinking of them! I have scoured the internet and found some amazing holiday gift ideas for teachers!  One of my favorite things on this list for is the Big O Silicone Keyring Holder!  It’s a great price point, and it is perfect for letting you be hands free because you “wear” your keys!

The Yeti Mug is another great teacher option!  It’s not your standard cheeky mug, this one is actually useful and will keep their coffee hot or cold!  I love that this is gender neutral too!

We all know teachers put up with lots of germs (and smells) so gifting a super nice bottle of hand soap or boutique style room spray would be a lovely little gift for their classroom or their own home!

Know a teacher that is techy?  Grab them a nice high quality USB cable so that they never go without a charge!  This fun velvet tech travel case is awesome too!  It holds all of your cords in one spot when you’re on the go!

Got a male teacher that you have no clue what to get?  Check out this leather card/ID holder!  Super easy to put in a pocket or throw in a bag!

A nice quality notebook is great for teachers too!

FOR THE HOST / HOSTESS

Tis the season for parties!  Don’t show up empty handed when attending your company’s party at your boss’s house!  These gifts are great for men and women!  My fave on the list is the Amazon red wine stain remover.  Pair this with a nice bottle of wine for a complete gift!

I love the vintage look of these pink wine goblets! This is the perfect hostess gift for a party with girlfriends!

Attending a book club holiday party?  Or know a host/hostess that likes to read?  Treat them to this coffee table book with everyone’s sweetheart, Joanna Gaines.

Play it safe with a high end candle (still only $30) or some room spray or hand soap!

Another fun host/hostess gift is to wrap a bottle of wine in a pretty dishtowel.  This set is great because it comes with four towels and they are all pretty neutral too.

Ornaments are always a well received gift too.  These marble glass ornaments come as a set of two  for $10!  They are available in a few colors as well!

FOR STYLISTS AND OTHER SERVICE RELATED FRIENDS

Often times these are the people that are kind of fun to buy for because you see something that reminds you of them, or you can easily gift these individuals a Starbucks gift card to let them know you thought of them this holiday season.  But if you’re looking for some ideas outside of gift cards, try these things:

Fancy Chocolate set … almost too pretty to eat.  These are a great sweet treat for a stylist or manicurist that you love!  A set of  velvet pearl headbands would be nice too!

Personalized gifts are always at the top of my list.  These dainty gold initial earrings are a nice little statement!

The Yeti Mug and leather ID holder are again a universal gift that everyone could use!

Interchangeable purse straps are quite popular right now.  This camo print bag strap from Accessory Concierge is a great price point and you can use code EMILY to save 20% off your purchase too!  If camo print isn’t your thing, they have several other patterns and prints to choose from.

GIFTING / TIPPING ETIQUITTE

Not necessarily covered on this list, but equally important are the individuals that we interact with on a more daily basis.  It’s nice to tip a little extra during this season, so don’t forget about some of these kind individuals in your everyday life.  Obviously NOT something you have to do, but if you’re in the giving spirit, then by all means.
