The Official Scary Mommy Editors' 2021 Holiday Gift Guide

Love plants, but can’t keep them alive? Consider pillows. They don’t die, and they’re better to cuddle with.

Do you want to wear your slippers to walk the dog or do you want to wear them inside? Now you don’t have to decide! The Soul Slipper is an eco-conscious shoe, built to provide warmth for your feet outside or inside. “A cushy memory foam inner sole creates a naturally molded foot bed that is paired with an ultra-soft fleece inner lining for toasty-warm toes.” Yes, please!

These durable leather bags make a statement, and that statement is, “I may be a mom but I’m still a badass.”

You won’t know whether you’re ready for the beach or bed when you put this on — and it’s a good thing because who even knows where we are or what day it is? This is luxury mixed with comfort and we love it.

Throw this bad boy on and feel like a teenager again. Campfire anyone?

This is the perfect teacher gift, friend gift, mom gift — or just something cute for yourself honestly. The best thing is it’s ready to go right out of the box in its own pre-planted planter.

Oh, my, god. If you’ve ever been jealous of that friend of yours who always has impeccable skin and a flawless regimen, fear not. You can be that person. MyChelle skincare makes it easy to establish a routine by giving you every step you need. The Ageless line is a dream — and Hydrate is fantastic.

We’ve been meaning to try out silk pillowcases forever because everyone keeps ranting about what they do for wrinkles and hair. Can’t confirm anything but that this is just pure luxury, feels good, and anyone would love to get it.

These rainbow stainless steel cups add some whimsy to your kitchen, and they also keep drinks cold. And don’t worry, just because they’re cool-looking doesn’t mean they’re hard to take care of. Just pop them in the dishwasher!

The BREO Box is just so freaking cool. You can choose a subscription plan or shop per box, and every box is an assortment of things that we guarantee you’d never think of. The box we received included some super cool headphones, a UV disinfecting wand, a contraption to keep your store-bought coffee hot, a mobile conference speaker… you get the picture. Cool.

An amazing watch, and a percentage of the proceeds of every watch sale will be given back to the Hawaiian Lifeguard Association to support the great work done daily in the “spirit of aloha” by this outstanding organization to help ensure public safety.

This year, my Clarisonic died (2020, go figure). I had it for about six years, so that was kinda par for the course. When I went to go buy another one, I discovered, to my horror, that Clarisonic had gone out of business (RIP). After doing some research on the what device I should try next to get similar results, the olde ye faithful search engine led me toward meejee, a sonic facial cleanser that cleanses, exfoliates, and massages your skin. It also comes in really cute colors.

I live in a desert, so it’s dry year-round. My skin is pretty finicky, so on top of slathering it with a layer of serum and dense moisturizer, I also have this face humidifier running at night to keep things as dewy as possible. And it really works! My skin is noticeably more hydrated in the mornings. I love how this doesn’t take up too much space and still manages to run for about eight hours. I put a few drops of essential oils as well, so that my room feels like a spa.

If only I could own a mug for every time Moira said something either dramatic or  accidentally demeaning, my life would be complete. I’ll just start with this one, which sums up my day by about noon.

Big Bud Press, a clothing and accessory boutique based out of Los Angeles, makes the best jumpsuits. And if you’re a jumpsuit person, you must own at least one Big Bud Press jumpsuit. Their fit is fantastic (no weird bunching or camel toe business) and they have so many fun prints to choose from. Jumpsuits not your thing? Big Bud also has a variety of other playful, high-quality clothing to choose from, plus fun tchotchkes, like pins, bandanas, hats, and more.

I didn’t know that I needed a customized planner until I got a customized planner — and let me tell you, I’ll never go back. Golden Coil lets you customize with quotes, recipe pages, reminders… they’ll even print your contacts list right into it. And they’re beautiful — so there’s that.

Honestly, it’s hard to talk about any Dyson products without getting weepy. Do they deserve the press they get? YES. The Airwrap Complete will do things to your hair you never thought possible. Believe the hype — it’s worth every cent.

There’s literally no better straightener on the planet. It’s great for long and short styles, and thick hair too. A splurge? Yes. Worth it? Definitely.

Cute, comfy and totally on brand for 2020.

This is one of our favorite beauty pics of the year. It’s smells incredible, goes on smooth right after your shower, and leaves your skin feeling a-ma-zing!

Up your man’s flannel PJ game by giving him this set. It’s soft as butter and looks pretty damn sexy on — so win, win!
