Hey Readers!

With only two weekends left for holiday shopping, I thought I’d share my Top Ten 2024 picks for gift ideas for everyone on your list!

1. For Pet Lovers:

Have you ever wondered what your dog or cat was thinking? You’ve got to check out FluentPet! This system of recordable buttons promises to strengthen your communication and bond with your pet. There’s still time to order and right now there’s a $5 off coupon on the FluentPet website. I already ordered one for my dog and cat and can’t wait to try it out!

2. The Tea Drinker:

Drink tea like royalty with this fancy Newey & Bloomer tea kettle. Sure, it’s expensive, but it’s stainless steel (no toxic materials) with a copper-wire base (or you can get the full copper version). Handmade in London and it soooo pretty. The tea lover in your life is sure to love this!

3. The Fashionista:

I personally think it’s hard to buy for fashionistas, they may be picky on what they wear! But why not get them this Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag? It’s basic, practical, useful and cute.

4. The Book Lover:

Books, of course! Support indie authors by ordering books direct and indie bookstores by getting a gift card to Bookshop.org. Another idea? Choose 3-5 different books and wrap them in mystery paper. Put notes on the front like “Read when . . .” Put them in a bookbag with other fun book lover gifts like a reading light, these great candles, and a cozy blanket.

5. For the Teen on Your List:

Why not this Phomemo Print Pod Sticker Printer. This mini printer lets you print everything from study notes to photos, turning it all into stickers! Bluetooth-compatible, this thermal printer uses heat to create black images on white paper, printing directly from a smart phone via an app.

6. For the Home:

Why not this Candle Warmer lamp? Don’t forget to choose your favorite candle to go with it! This gift is sure to fill your home with your favorite seasonal scents.

7. The “They Have It All Already” Person.

Check out Sharper Image for some unique, different gifts. I personally like this Video Camera Bird Feeder. I love this tech gadget as it inspires connection with nature.

8. The Chef:

Try this Vegetable Chopper! Reasonably priced and sure to save time when cooking.

9. The Best Beauty Care Gifts:

Check out Lush, they have the best, all natural soaps, shower gels, lotions, bath bombs and even makeup. I have loved Lush for years. Dream Cream is a must!

10. The Self-Help Guru:

Mel Robbins books, of course! The queen of getting your life together, any of Mel’s books would be a great choice. Her new book, Let Them, releases December 31st, put you could preorder and print out a picture of the soon to be released book in a card/or with another one of her books. Other ideas: a yoga mat, a meditation class, or a gift card to a salt room spa.

For last-minute gifts, you can’t go wrong with gift cards. To make gift cards extra special, think outside the box. Instead of a typical gift card to Target, give the gift of an experience. Museum passes, painting classes, or an extra cool restaurant they may never take themselves to.

I hope these ideas helped spark some of your own!

May you all have a wonderful, joyous, healthy and blessed holiday season. A Busy Lady will not be posting until after Christmas as I take time to unwind and spend time with my family. Thank you again for all of your support. See you soon!

P.S. A Special Thank you and shout out to Barnes & Noble Warwick Rhode Island for a fantastic Local Author Extravaganza Event this past week! Sue & Team at the Warwick B&N did such a fantastic job putting on this event. I had a blast meeting other authors, readers, and even left some signed copies of ALL THESE THREADS OF TIME on the shelf! To see my novel at my favorite B&N amongst so many talented writers where more readers can discover it is truly a dream come true! As you know, my motto is to Bet on You. I’m so glad I did. Keep chasing your dreams!
