We cover an array of items ranging in not so expensive to premium prices and gift ideas that are sure to please anyone that you're thinking of get a gift for this year. Most of these are our personal faves that we use daily or ones that we're definitely buying this Holiday season. 

'Tis the season to start giving! I'm so excited to be sharing this Gift Guide this year----only our second one, but definitely not the last (queue the Christmas bells. Haha). If you've been following Orchids + Sweet Tea, then hopefully you've seen last year's 40+ Lifestyle Gift Guide 2020: Holiday Gift Guide list which had some really great items. And while a few of last year's items made this year's list------this Holiday Gift Guide will include fresh, new items that have been personal faves all yearlong.

Let's be honest----this year's Holiday shopping might look a bit different this year due to the expected delays in shipping, early Black Friday deals, and just the overall insanity of limited items, etc. That's why this list helps to alleviate the stress of it all and helps you to make great gift choices for everyone in your family and/or circle.

So, let's have some fun---shall we?!

Orchids + Sweet Tea's 2021 Holiday Gift Guide:

MY FAVORITE ITEMS FROM BLACK-OWNED BUSINESSES:

1. Scent & Fire Candles - Starts at $23

To be honest, I've begun my collection of candles (still improving) as a part of wellness regimen and although there are a ton of candles out there (literally), I haven't loved one as much as this brand. Not only are the scents crisp, fresh, and beautiful to the nose---but this brand manages to stay on trend with social movements, special occasions, and news-worthy moments. You have to try this one---trust me.

2. The 125 Collection Candles - Starts at $38

Yet another candle, but one that comes very unique. I've had this candle line on my wishlist all year and it's for good reason. The 125 Collection offers great scented candles with a touch of luxury------AND quotes created to empower, inspire, + entertain! Definitely a must buy for anyone in your circle. We all need inspiration daily, especially after these past two years.

3. Clothing from Beacon Threads - Starts at $10

When it comes to this brand, I've been a HUGE fan for the past 3-4 years! Not only do they represent Christ through their apparel in the most amazing ways, but their clothing and accessories are top notch quality and worth every penny. I've purchased their t-shirts, hoodies, sweatpants, and hats for my entire family. Definitely a great gift for every believer in your life.

4. Elonwick Co. Candles - Starts at $24

I know----another candle, but I promised candles are the new wellness hot item that's worth the buy. They wrap easily, come in all unique scents and are really budget-friendly for smaller budgets and gifts. I love this brand's Southern flare on the scents and I've definitely added them to my collection.

5. Above Mediocrity Apparel - Starts at $55

This line of apparel is one of my newest faves by someone who I admire greatly on Instagram-----Mhykee G. She's a devout follower of Christ and so when I saw her line of apparel which include comfortable sweat sets, I knew that these were a must for my wishlist. I love their message that "life is too short to be mediocre".

6. Yeezy Slides - Starts at $158

Regardless of the controversy surrounding Ye, I'm a lover of quality and his Yeezy line is just that! I'm not a huge spender when it comes to shoes or accessories (I love a good deal mostly), BUT if I do enough research and find it to be worth it---I'll buy it because 9 times out of 10, it'll last long. These slides specifically were my go-to's this year, especially during the summer months and I'm a believer! They're super comfy and come in great neutral colors to match every outfit. A must!

7. Head Wraps from Fanm Djanm - Starts at $28

I just love the uniqueness of these wraps and the quality. You have a good amount of designs and colors to choose from and different styles, which works for me because I love switching it up sometimes. Plus, this brand often supports major causes (i.e. Breast Cancer Awareness, Project Row House, etc.) with every purchase which is another great reason to support.

8. Mess in a Bottle Apparel - Starts at $26.95

Another one of my personal faves + go-to's---Mess in a Bottle has an amazing empowering line of apparel. I just love the MESSage behind all of Kalilah's brand and it's worth adding to your Holiday list this year for sure. Plus, she offers her t-shirts in a reusable bottle which mimics the classic----"message in a bottle".

9. Liquid Matte from The Lip Bar - Starts at $13

When it comes to lipstick, I'm such a huge fan of liquid matte lipsticks. This awesome brand is a great option, they're vegan, and there are a ton of shades for every skin tone. Such a great, quality gift for anyone who loves a good shade of lip.

10. This Woman's Work Candle by Freres Branchiaux - Starts at $22

This candle is something special because it's made by 3 young brothers who began making candles in their home just a few years ago as a way to offer eco-conscious candle options to the world. It's been such an amazing experience to see them flourish over the years and this candle specifically has top notes of vanilla, apple, and cream. Definitely a nice gift!

11. Black Girl Magic Wines by McBride Sisters Collection - Starts at $24.99

I had the pleasure of purchasing these wines this year and they're so amazing! I love that they've created the idea around wine as not only being a "feeling" as it relates to the phrase Black Girl Magic, but "a look. a mood. a taste." You won't be disappointed with a bottle of these wines.

12. Head Wraps by The Wrap Life - Starts at $22

Yet another new fave of mine----these head wraps. The best part about these are that they're super soft and can be used on a daily basis to match any outfit. These head wraps come in many different prints, classic flow colors, ribbed versions, and sustainable options.

13. Apparel by Shift Style House - Starts at $30

The apparel options in this boutique is super stylish, comfy, and very fashion forward. I definitely love their mission to empower women with confidence, class, and style. I've had the pleasure of purchasing a few pieces from here and it's worth the buy!

14. Essential Oils from Yateou - Starts at $13

This brand was one that I discovered during quarantine and I’ve fallen in love. Honestly, I’m such an avid user of essential oils as it relates to wellness and these oils are all Natural, Vegan, and Cruelty-Free. Plus, they have a variety of unique scents that can be used as aromatherapy, for your skin, face, and hair.

15. Skincare from Shari Darden - Starts at $12

I've had the pleasure coming across this skincare line this year and it's been a major part of my daily skincare routine, especially Shari's Retinol Reform serum. In addition, I invested in her UV Face Mask which offers several settings that promote the fighting of wrinkles, dark spots, bacteria, etc. If you're into investing in a skincare item, then this is one that I recommend. She's an esthetician in Beverly Hills and develops high-performance formulas.

16. Bevel - Starts at $9.95

OK, so this is one that I plan on getting my husband this year for Christmas and it's a grooming brand that's specifically for Men with sensitive skin, which is such a great option that most don't offer. Plus, Bevel offers amazing shaving, skin, hair, and beard products that reduce irritation, moisturizes, exfoliates, and leaves Men polished. A definitely must for the Men in your life!

17. Rhyme Antics - Starts at $27.99

Now, this is a game that I've heard a lot of buzz about this year and I'm excited to try it with my family. This game is a hilarious rhyming vocabulary game inspired by Hip Hop and I think that it's a unique, fun way to not only enjoy the holidays, but also to work as a teachable moment for those who might not be familiar with Hip Hop in general. Definitely something to try out!

Ok, so since the remainder of this Gift Guide offers an array of amazing items, I'll be listing everything without a backstory, but just know that each item has been personally handpicked by me and are either daily go-to's or on my wishlist for this year indefinitely.

18. EQ Kids Crew by Somocom Lab - Starts at $29.99

I absolutely love this concept of this fun learning game for the entire family, especially since it was created to help adults make learning about emotions fun and easy. Through the use of humor, sensory learning, interactive exercises, and more. I definitely recommend purchasing this for your kids!

HOLIDAY GIFTS FOR THE HEALTH + WELLNESS LOVER:

1. Reathlete Leg Air Compression Massager - $179.99

I'm all about daily self-care, which means that having a leg compression massager is a must. This one is one of my top wishlist items and while I currently enjoy compression socks (because I'm constantly on my feet), this massager that offers 3 intensities and 4 modes is something that I'll add to my collection of wellness must-haves.

2. Sunbeam Heating Pad for Neck + Shoulder - $45.49

I love a good general heat pad which acts as a great natural remedy for pain, however, I often find it hard to get my heating pad to stay around my neck + shoulder, which this one seems to perfect well.

3. LifePro Waver Vibration Plate Exercise Machine - $199.99

I purchased this exercise machine a few months ago and it's by far one of my faves. I hate exercising (haha), but this definitely makes things easy and it's super easy to store. The best part is that you can totally adjust the speed to go as slow (or fast) as you need it to for your optimal workout.

4. Germ Guardian Air Purifier (True HEPA ) - Starts at $84.99

Another one of my faves, this purifier is one that I keep in certain rooms of my apartment.

5. Shiatsu Neck + Shoulder Massager - $45.95

This massager is by far an amazing addition to your self-care regimen. Not only are the moving massager parts great for touching those sensitive body points in your neck + shoulder, but it also heats up which creates an added pain relief mechanism.

6. PMD Smart Facial Beauty Cleanser - $179.00

I recently purchased this facial cleanser and it's definitely a keeper. Personally, I've gone through a ton of facial cleaners, but I love the many intensities and modes that this one has and it's ability to really leave your face feeling deeply cleansed.

7. TheraGun Elite - Starts at $394.95

Since being on my personal journey to my best self, one of the ways that I’ve been doing so is through physical health as well.

8. Bearaby Cotton Napper - $199

9. Infrared Sauna Blanket - $499

This is one of my top wishlist items that I plan on getting myself for Christmas. I personally love saunas, however, sometimes with a super busy schedule, I don't have the time to schedule a slot for my local spa. However, it's so awesome to have this version that I can enjoy at home on my downtime. Saunas generally detoxes the body, promotes glowing skin, boosts your mood, and enhances a healthy doses of the brain's "feel good" hormones and this blanket does that same!

10. Skims Loungewear - Starts at $32

At first glance, you might assume that Kim K's loungewear is just extremely high-priced, but I promise you that these soft, cotton pieces are WORTH IT! I especially love her robes, pants, and slippers among others. I love the quality and I've become a fan of these for sure!

11. Brooklinen Luxe Sheet Set - Starts at $135

12. Casper Sleep Foam Pillow - Starts at $79.99

Since moving into my new apartment, I chose to invest in these casper pillows which are AMAZING! They really are super comfortable and truly do last longer than most pillows despite the kind of sleeper you are. Even their regular pillows are great!

13. Purple Royal Seat Cushion - $71

When I saw this cushion, I honestly thought that it was genius. I always hate having to sit on a hard chair, therefore, having this cushion creates a much softer, comfortable experience, especially if you work-from-home. Definitely a must!

14. The Sill Plants - Starts at $5

These plants are by far my faves! I purchased these for my new place and I love the quality of the plants, the variety offered, as well as The Sill's thorough instructions on how to care each specific plant. If you have a green thumb or just want to start caring for your own collection of plants, I definitely recommend these.

15. Mindfulness Cards - $11.60

Since becoming intentional about self-care, especially this year----I love the idea of mindfulness cards which help to create gratitude, mindfulness, and a better overall outlook mentally. If you're into mental health and overall wellness, these cards are the perfect addition to add to your collection.

16. Healthier Together: The Deck - $25

I recently had the pleasure of being on Liz Moody's podcast where we spoke about being intentional with eating, creating a happy life through food, and so on. Overall, her platform is awesome and the optics that she chooses to talk about with her audience creates great conversation around the hard topics while offering great clarity and enlightenment towards being ultimately happy. These cards are just that-----an extension of her platform and I love these as a gift idea.

17. Venus et Fleur Roses - Starts at $44

If you're a lover of flowers, but hate the fact that they die so quickly, then these roses are for you!

Trust me---they're much more beautiful in person!

This facial steamer is one of my must-haves for my skincare regimen. It's literally like having a detox session for your face and its perfect for all skin types.

Definitely a great sentimental gift for everyone and acts as a great part of your daily mindfulness and gratitude routine. Definitely one of my top wishlist items.

20. Zeelool Glasses - Starts at $3

I came across this glasses brand this year and fell in complete love. I love the unique styles for both Women and Men. Plus, you can either have your glasses added with prescriptions or not, which works great as a fashion accessory. Totally recommend!

Much like the previous foot massager, this one offers great blood circulation modes. Plus, you can easily slip your feet in (instead of your entire leg) and it offers deep kneading modes as well as heat therapy which works great for deep tissue and other health therapies.
