The 2024 Gift Guide

Over 75+ ideas for what to buy your loved ones this holiday season.

Hey everyone, sorry it’s been a minute. Thanks for bearing with me; between the election and a family tragedy, I just have not felt up to writing. It has been, to put it plainly, a shit ass couple of weeks. So today, I want to talk about something silly and light-hearted, an activity that never fails to put a smile on my face: gift giving.

Those who follow me on TikTok know that I have a yen for gifting. A truly thoughtful gift (of any price range) is how I let people in my life know I care. And this year more than ever, I want my loved ones to feel that.

So here’s a sneak peek at the gifts you’ll see in the coming weeks on my TikTok. It’s a mixture of vintage and new, high and low—something for everybody. There’s a paywall, but if you don’t want to pay (fair), most of this will be probably be public shortly. This is just an unabridged, early look into everything I’ve scribbled down in my Notes app to prep for the holiday season.

Good tidings, babes xx

Remy’s 2024 Gift Guide

As a framework for this guide, I’ve suggested the type of person who might like each of these gifts. But honestly, I think many of these could work for a variety of folks.

1. For the Pinterest-obsessed friend group—If you need to get gifts for a group of girlies but don’t feel like over-thinking each one, get them each a customized scrunchie. If you really wanted to splash out, you could get each of them a pair of Charlie Beads bloomers and get embroidered initials for every pair. And if you want to get anything else embroidered for your besties, go to LA Chainstitch, they can hook you up.

2. For your witchy BFF—If you have one of these friends, consider yourself lucky; they’re easy to shop for. For instance, just get them a Molly Soda Dollz Tarot Deck, and they’ll be happy as a clam. If you want to go even more elaborate, get them a personal astrology reading. If you need recs for this, let me know and I will ask my resident Astrology Friend for her advice.

3. For the friend who likes to light up—Smoking is back! JK. But ashtrays are undeniably chic additions to any coffee table. Get your friend an Enzo Mari ashtray. But for the love of god purchase it on Buyee, where they’re about half the price as the ones you’ll find on Ebay.

4. For your friend with a naughty sense of humor—Let me get right to the point: vintage Playboy playing cards. Enough said.

5. For the grandpa who likes to putter around the house—A good pair of slippers usually does the trick. I like Glerups for their rustic look and good quality.

6. For the grandma who likes to thrift—If you go to any large flea market (e.g. the Rose Bowl flea), you’ll notice people wheeling around large carts in which to store their treasures. So if Grandma doesn’t already have one, get her a cart! For something chicer, try this wheeled Hulken. For something cheaper, do this collapsible wagon from Target.

7. For the person who loves a tablescape—I am obsessed with candlestick holders, and own far too many. One set that’s been in my shopping cart for a while are these vintage Stoff & Nagels. If that doesn’t appeal, get your tablescaper a new salt pig (or you can find vintage ones on Ebay) or a Mario Bellini coffee set.

8. For the kid who you don’t want to end up an Ipad baby: Ok this could also be a gift for an adult (namely, me) but I am obsessed with these Miniature Theater kits. So silly, so beautiful.

9. For the fancy Secret Santa party—This calls for a crowd pleaser. Something safe, but not quite as boring as like, socks. I like this matcha kit because it is pretty and multi-purpose; I have no idea if it’s actually the best on the market, I am not a serious matcha drinker. If you wanna spend less money, this Walmart kit is $25. If you want to really go the extra mile, I’d suggest buying some matcha powder to accompany the kit.

10. For the family’s Secret Santa party—Slightly different than the above, this occasion means you need a kid-friendly gift that works for a bunch of age ranges with a bunch of different interests. Enter: the Smores maker.

7. For the silly office White Elephant party—This particular occasion calls for something dumb, funny and cheap. Try out this vintage Snoopy snow cone maker. For a more risqué White Elephant party, get a vintage drinking game—maybe Chug-a-Lug?
