2022 Holiday Gift Guide
It may feel like the holidays are far away, but every year they sneak up on me, so I’m sharing my gift guides nice and early for you! I have to say I’m feeling really darn excited this year for all the Christmas baking, decorating, and gifting this year. I feel like every year the holidays feel different, some years it’s really easy to get excited and others feel a little less exciting, but this year I’m really looking forward to the holidays! Our home renovation will be done, so we get to decorate our pretty much new home for the first time! This gift guide really checks off everyone on your list from your husband to your sister to the kids. I hope you have as much fun getting inspiration from these gift guides as I had putting them together!
Elizabeth’s picks
Flameless Lighter I Midnights by Taylor Swift Record I Pyjamas I Candle I Hair Clips I Purse I Lipstick I The German Wife Novel I Jo Malone Perfume
I’ve compiled this list based on some things that I love and use on a daily basis along with things that I think would make just the best gifts. I love this flameless lighter, it’s rechargeable and works so well! It’s the perfect stocking stuffer or gift with a beautiful candle like this Land of Daughter’s Reverie Candle.
These Pyjamas are absolutely the best, I have three pairs because they are super comfy and look great! 2022 has been the year that I rediscovered claw clips and I don’t know how I’ve lived without them! These ones are super cute and make the perfect gift!
I love this Jo Malone Perfume in Wood Sage and Sea Salt, it’s super fresh with a bit of a woodsy undertone, this is absolutely my favourite scent at the moment. In the make-up category, I love a bold lip in the winter and for the holidays and this Lip Souffle from Rare Beauty is the perfect gift for any make-up lover in your life!
This Poppy Barley Purse is at the top of my Christmas wishlist, I love the colour, size, and classic design! I always love giving and receiving books for the holidays and The German Wife is at the top of my list. I’m a huge Swiftie and the new Midnights album is one of my faves so it definitely needed a spot on my gift guide.
Topher’s picks
Kettle I Cardigan I The Dave Brubeck Quartet Record I Record Player I Quarter Zip Sweater I Sweatpants I Ball Cap I Coffee Beans I
We need to talk about these sweatpants. I gave Topher a pair of these sweatpants last year and I swear if he could live in them he would, honestly, I’m jealous that I don’t have a pair! Topher has sweaters and cardigans on his birthday and Christmas wishlist and he loves these ones. Topher lives in this ball cap, it’s from a local Prince Edward County brewery and it’s super cute!
Topher is a bit of a coffee snob and it’s definitely rubbed onto me. This kettle is like jewelry for your counter, it’s absolutely stunning. These coffee beans are our favourite and coffee beans are a great host gift or stocking stuffer!
I gave Topher this record player a couple of years ago for his birthday and we love it, plus it’s Bluetooth enabled so you can connect it to your favourite speaker or Bluetooth headphones. This Dave Brubeck Quartet record is one of Topher’s favourites, it’s jazz and it’s lovely cooking music! How to Change Your Mind is a book by Michael Pollan and it’s so interesting, Topher has read it multiple times.

Our Place Stove to Oven Pan I Knife I Half Baked Harvest Everyday Cookbook I Staub Baking Dish I Silicone Silpat Mat I What's for Dessert Cookbook I Tea Towels I Peppermill I Apron
As a food blogger, recipe developer, and lover of cooking and baking I take my kitchen and cooking tools very seriously! I truly believe that when you have tools that work really well, your end result in cooking will be better and you’ll enjoy cooking way more.
If you have a baker on your list, a Silpat Mat, a pretty apron, and the What’s for Dessert Cookbook is the perfect gift!
This Our Place Stove to Oven Pan is non-stick, non-toxic and it’s perfect for making pancakes, grilling sandwiches, enchiladas, and cookies. This pan comes in beautiful colours and comes with a silicone mat! I also love this Staub Casserole Dish, it’s perfect for making lasagnas, cinnamon buns, and fruit crisps, any foodie in your life will love this beautiful ceramic baking dish!
Kitchen tools make all the difference, so treat the cook in your life to a beautiful pepper mill or even this incredible chef’s knife!
Half Baked Harvest Everyday is one of my favourite cookbooks of the year, pair this book with a set of pretty dish towels for the best gift!
For the littles
Train Track I Backpack I Young Chefs Cookbook I Floor Puzzle I Onesie I Toque I Who You Were Made to be Book
While I don’t have kids, I do have nieces and nephews, and buying kids gifts is the most fun thing!
I love giving kids books and this Who You Were Made To Be story is so wholesome and lovely. For any kids who love to play in the kitchen and cook, give them a cookbook! I remember the first cookbook I was given as a kid, I loved it so so much! This Cookbook is designed for kids and it’s written by America’s Test Kitchen.
Toys are always a must-gift, this floor puzzle is perfect for young kids, plus it’s two-sided so you get two puzzles in one! My nephew LOVES making train tracks, so I know that my nephew would be over the moon to have another train track. Plus, this train track is wooden, so will last forever and you can always gift extension packs later on!
I love these backpacks, they are machine washable, they have so many great designs, and they’re sure to be used for years to come. I love this cozy waffle knit toque, perfect to keep any baby super warm throughout the winter months. This is the sweetest holiday onesie, plus you can get matching PJs for an older sibling too, not to mention this brand is a small Canadian company!
I would love to know what you’re gifting loved ones this holiday season, let me know in the comments!
