Can you believe the holidays are already upon us?
I say this every year, I know.
I love gift giving. Spending time finding the “perfect” gift for friends and family is fun for me; however, I know it can be stressful. Some people seem to have everything!
As such, I’ve been keeping a list of some of the more unique gift ideas I’ve had lately. Ya know, in case you guys need some help too!
Disclaimer: While these are all products I love and/or would love to receive, this post does contain a few affiliate links.
1. Funny Coffee Mugs
I know, I know… we all have a ton of mugs. But these are too funny to pass up. I couldn’t decide between the foxes and the f-ing love.
2. Sizzlefish
Sending someone a box of fish is delicious AND funny. I’ve been eating Sizzlefish for 3 years now. That’s not an affiliate link – it’s just fabulous. I DID ask about a discount for readers and they’ve generously offered 10% off through December 18th for you all! Just use code LAURASIZZLE10 at check out.
This company is based in North Carolina, but they will ship fish anywhere. It’s flash frozen, which means it retains its fresh taste. I live at the beach and I still order it! It’s also pre-portioned, which makes for quick thawing and easy meals. Take it out of the freezer in the morning, place it in the fridge, and it’s ready by dinner. In a pinch, you can run it under hot water to thaw… or I’ve even baked the salmon from a frozen state!
3. PopSugar Box
PopSugar Must Have boxes are like a little Christmas every month. It’s $40 a month, but you get well over $100 worth of stuff. This Kendra Scott bracelet from my most recent box retails for $50!
I recommend buying one for yourself and one for a friend who love trying new things. Click here to check them out and use the code SHOP5 for $5 your FIRST Must Have Box!

4. Cards Against Humanity
If you’ve never played Cards Against Humanity, buy this for yourself. If you have it already, buy this for your LEAST easily offended friend (or family member – my mom plays brilliantly!). The premise is simple – one player asks a question from a Black Card, and everyone else answers with their funniest White Card – but I guarantee you someone will end up laughing so hard that they pee a little.
Bonus: they have expander sets, so this is the gift that keeps on giving!
Decisions, decisions…
5. Fabletics
Fabletics is truly fabulous workout gear. I have been gifting this for awhile now and everyone I’ve shared it with with loves it as well. Fabletics capris are literally the only bottoms I work out in. I’ve had a few pair for over 3 years!
I also go to work in their Fabletics gear – long black legging and a black sweater. Add boots and a necklace and people will never know your outfit came from a fitness website.
Fit Foodie 5K… in Fabletics gear.
6. Home State Slate Cheese Board
I LOVE these state cheese boards! We entertain a lot. With a slate cheese board, you can use chalk to label cheese and impress your guests. Represent your home state or your current location. It’s festive for those nights you just sit home and make a dinner of cheese and wine. Is that just us? Either way, this board is awesome.
7. Donut Talk to Me shirt
Anyone else need this tank for the gym?
I’m here to work out, not to socialize. I just want to get this over with and eat donuts.
8. Unicorn Paperclip Holder
Do you have a work wife? She needs this paperclip holder.
9. Veuve Cliq Call
Don’t know what to get that person who has everything? Spend $69 on this. This is everything.
Veuve Cliq Call allows you to personalize a message for the recipient of a bottle of rosè sparkling. Message me if you need my address for shipping. 😉
10. Pineapple Keds
Who doesn’t want pineapple shoes? These are super cute, comfy, and available on Prime for less than $40. Bonus: they come in watermelon too!

Vegas and I decided to do something truly unique and oh-so-romantic this year… our gift to each other is a new couch.
What are some of your best gift ideas this year?
Did you Black Friday shop? I went one year… never again.
I can’t believe the holidays are already here either. Yikes! I gotta go shopping, so this is the perfect post to get me inspired. Now, if I could just stop adding to my own wish list I’d be fine! 😉 Love it!
That’s always my problem too! I may have to end up with a bottle of bubbly for myself…
Ok I’m just putting it out there, if anyone wants to send me a bottle of Veve cliq for Christmas I will be more than thankful 😀 it’s my ‘what would you drink if you could drink anything’ drink.
And I love cards against humanity! My mum actually is the worst/best I have played against…. You can’t easily take offence when playing with her!
Let’s just go in together and split a bottle over a game of Cards!
I need those fox mugs in my life right now!!! OMG – the best!
You delivered on your promise here – tons of great ideas for the people who have it all. Thank you! xo
Right?! I’m going to by them for myself if Vegas doesn’t get the hint. Haha!
Is there a limit to the number of bottles of champagne that you can order? For yourself? And can you drink them out of those mugs…
Susie. Unicorns do what they want. 😉
I didn’t buy presents for anyone last year and it was fabulous. This year I have at least three to buy and I’m already panicking. I’m a bit of a grinch about Christmas…
You can’t go wrong with bubbles… just sayin’.
The mugs so cute! And champagne always works for me. happy holiidays!
i expect all these from you bro! under my tree please. Especially the donut shirt. a must
Trade you for some balls? Haha!
I’m a Fabletics fan! I don’t buy every month, but I do like their 3/4 length tights best. Black Friday….Heck no!!! We have a local race on that day, so I do what I love….run….NOT shop! (Give me online shopping any day every day! lol!) The race is appropriately called Burn It Off!
That run sounds so much better than shopping! We avoid it… one year we got tattoos for Black Friday instead.
Haha! That’s a good alternative!
I always have some “unique” ideas. Like the absinthe making kit, or marble skate park!
An absinthe making kit?! I must get my hands on this.
I cannot believe the holiday season is upon us Laura, but there’s no turning back now 🙂 I love looking for the perfect gift. I’m usually very thoughtful with my gift giving, trying to relive a fun memory or something my friends and family mention they wanted months ago. This year I’m going to make most of my gifts. I do it every year, and everyone tends to like it. I make sugar scrubs, homemade soaps, and Detox teas. I’m hoping to add deliciously and professionally decorated sugar cookies into the mix this year. Wish me luck.
I have a feeling that you give the BEST gifts in your circles. I can’t wait to see those cookies!
The pineapple shoes are adorable and I could always use another cheese board.
Are you the one who sent me the “I Fucking Love You” coffee mug? I’ve been trying to identify the mystery sender for ages now…
I absolutely think you – of all people – could never have enough cheese boards.
I wish I’d thought to send you that mug, but alas… the mystery is still unsolved.
Is it bad that I want to buy most of these for myself?! LOL 😀
Nooooo… that’s exactly how I wrote it! 😉
FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS OVER HERE: Getting married around the holidays. Already got all the gifts that I tried so hard to figure out that I wanted. What the heck else do I want/need. Exactly. People are getting MAD at me that I don’t have a list. Well, I am actually the type of person who HATES stuff to begin with, so yeahhhhh! However…. I love those mugs…. But I have 15 million. GAH! THE STRUGGLE – LOL!
Goodwill! Just donate it and ask for other stuff. LOL!
I would take fish or fabletics for Christmas anytime. Ugh…seriously though. What the heck are you supposed to get your parents that have EVERYTHING???
Fish! I totally sent a box to my mom last year. That’s normal… yeah?
I totally LOLed at that last sentence… you two are so romantic getting each other… a COUCH?!!! Hehehe. But I love these ideas! I’m doing a gift guide soon and have funny mugs as one idea too. I mean who doesn’t want to chuckle when they pull out their mugs for coffee/tea?!
Hey now… if you saw this couch you’d understand. It’s white (or it used to be). I’ve had it for 7 years. No bueno.
I am loving the POPSUGAR boxes. That Kendra Scott bracelet was my favorite item yet – simple, delicate, and matches with everything.
It does! I wore the felt hat from the October box for the first time last week (it finally got cold enough here). That may be my favorite!
I LOVE fun mugs. My sister has painted a few; she’s great at them! And also that cheese board is SO COOL! I love getting food gifts for people. And other gifts too, but I guess I’m just such a foodie?
You sister paints them?! That’s so cool! I never really considered making my own.
This is the sassiest gift guide. The foxy mugs especially. But also the unicorn paperclip holder. What?
I almost bought myself a pair of pineapple Keds once. They were on sale! But I only have so much space for shoes in this little apartment. 😛
I needed you when I was naming this… The Sassiest Gift Guide would have been so much better!
hahaha um yes I will totally take as many champagnes as people are willing to send me.
Hey, hey… get in line! 😉
These are SUCH cute ideas- love it! Especially love the home state cheese board!
Those Keds come in watermelon!!!!! I’m getting a pair
I wanna see pics!!! Those would be so cute on you.
Fun list! I’m going to check out Sizzlefish. My family is getting braver about eating more fish these days.
Please let me know how it goes over if you do! Vegas is really picky and it’s the only fish I can get her to regularly eat.
