HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE
WHAT’S INSIDE

I
can't believe we're almost at the end of another year and the holidays are on their way again.
I've highlighted top-selling gifts from last year and also flagged price points for items under $25, $50, and $100.
If you tried to order anything within the past year, you were probably met with shipping delays and backorders just like the next person. I've fast-tracked this guide so that you have an entire month before Black Friday to make your list, check it twice, and have everything arrive on time.
If you notice a red bar near a product, be sure to enter the promo code listed within it to snag exclusive savings for Charmed by Camille readers.
I know it seems crazy early to shop for the holidays, but I encourage you to do it anyway and read any shipment delay notifications wherever you're online shopping, even if its not for the items in this guide.
These pages feature items I already own and love, things I've gifted others that have gotten great feedback, or they're on my personal wish list this holiday season. Cheers!
Inside my 2021 gift guide you'll find new categories like gifts for the chic traveler or hybrid WFH setups, along with classics like gifts for him and my beauty favorites. (My beauty pages are an entirely new layout this year and I'm OBSESSED.)

I'm usually cold on planes, so a sweatshirt is a must for any trip I take. This cheeky sweatshirt adds some playfulness to your travel attire.

Okay, so you can use my favorite hydrating mask whenever you want, not just for travel. But if you're going with a theme, why not totally lean into it?!
Give your sad suitcases from years past an upgrade with these. I have three of these suitcases and they've traveled all across the world without breaking or cracking.
MOPHIE EXTERNAL PHONE BATTERY No savvy traveler should be without an external phone battery. I can't tell you how many times I'd be lost with a dead phone if it weren't for this.

WORK FROM HOME A few years ago when I took Charmed by Camille full-time, I gave our home office a little upgrade. When you work in a space you love that's functional and organized, you're more productive. Whether you're still working from home or back at the office, these are some of my favorite items that keep me on track and in the zone.
DAY DESIGNER DAY PLANNER GET 10% OFF YOUR PURCHASE WITH CODE "CAMILLE10" I've used Day Designer planners for a few years now. This planner is spacious, and each day has one column for your to-do list and one timed column for appointments and time-blocking.

BLUE LIGHT GLASSES
PERSONALIZED NOTEBOOK
CORD ORGANIZER
These are great as a unisex gift and yes, blue light glasses actually work. I used to get headaches after a long day at the computer and once I bought a pair of blue light glasses, they drastically decreased.
There's nothing worse than being on a call and scrambling to find a piece of paper. I love that you can personalize this with your recipient's name, or leave it blank.
A great solution to keeping desk areas clean, this roll up organizer is available in multiple colors and helps maintain organization while working from home. This would make a great gift for men, too!

TYPEWRITER FRAMED PRINT
REUSABLE WATER BOTTLE
MONITER RISER WITH USB
I have this framed typewriter print hanging above my desk. Since it's a black and white print, it'll match any office decor and color.
One work habit I encourage everyone to practice (even at an office) is to keep a water bottle at your desk to stay hydrated.
Most desk setups aren't ergonomic, and the moment I bought a moniter riser I noticed a shift in better posture. USB plugs on the side are also handy to charge your phone.

LEATHER COMPUTER SLEEVE
BLUETOOTH SPEAKER
CHIC DESK ACCESSORIES
Every professional needs a sleek computer sleeve. At the end of each day, my laptop goes in its case so I can separate WFH and just home.
Sometimes all you need is a great acoustic playlist to get you in the zone. This bluetooth speaker works for the office, but can go anywhere when you're not working.
Trust me when I say this: desks look better when they have chic, coordinated accessories. I promise.

HYPERICE HYPERVOLT MASSAGER
WHISKEY ROCKS
WOODEN SHOE TREES
Soothe and release tight muscles without paintful foam rolling. We love our Hypervolt!
I always thought these were just to look fancy, but these rocks stay cold OR warm for up to an hour, so that you have plenty for time to enjoy your drink at the temperature it's supposed to be.
These wooden shoe inserts help to remove oder while keep nicer shoes in perfect shape, especially when traveling.
WIRELESS CHARGING TRAY
BOSE WIRELESS SPORT HEADPHONES
NORTHFACE PUFFER VEST
Half wireless charger, half catchall, this slick leather tray keeps your essentials in one spot. A great gift gift for anyone, but especially perfect for tricky-to-shop-for dads and significant others.
After too many workouts with AirPods that lost charge in one ear (or wouldn't stay in), Matt finally got these Bose sport headphones. I have a pair too; they're the only workout headphones I'll use.
Matt has a similar puffer vest and likes to wear it on chilly mornings to grab coffee or for a lowkey casual weekend breakfast.

EVERLANE CASHMERE SWEATER
CEDAR GRILLING PLANKS
Super soft and oh-so-cozy, this cashmere sweater works on it's own or over a shirt for an added layer (and warmth).
An affordable gift for any avid grilling fan, these cedar planks add restaurant-style smokiness to fish, poultry, veggies, and more.

This slipper is styled more like a chic men's driving shoe. Because they have a real sole they're great for a morning dog walk or quick coffee run.
Remove stains and refresh shoes with this convenient shoe cleaning kit, complete with spray and a brush.
Matt owns a couple of pieces from this brand and really likes them. Super soft, stretchy, and quick drying!

CORAVIN WINE PRESERVER
Use these for appetizers if you wish, but these tiny cuties are also a great size for desserts and daytime snacking.
I found these dispensers on Etsy because I was sick of looking at mismatched bottles on our kitchen counter. There are lots of options to choose; 10/10 would recommend.
Enjoy a glass or two of wine without worrying about having to finish the full bottle with this wine preservation kit.

This would be such a cute gift for anyone who loves to cook or bake. Also available: matching oven mitts and children's aprons.
Sometimes you want some fancy coffee without paying fancy coffee prices. Matt's an avid coffee drinker and loves that he can make an elevated drink at home.
I love the idea of having a signature scent in your home, like they do at nice hotels and stores. Candles are great, but I'm very into room sprays lately for a fragrant pick-me-up.

PORTABLE WINE CHILLER
SONY SOUND BAR
CROSLEY RECORD PLAYER
I love this wine chiller. Take it to the park, to a party, or wherever you need a cold bottle. This sleek, stainless steel-lined chiller keeps wine at the perfect temperature for hours.
This speaker is easy to set up, even for non-technology guys. It makes you feel like you're at the movies or at the game when watching sports.
Matt and I have had so much fun playing vintage records on this in our NYC apartment. There's something very nostalgic and romantic about a record player.

MEN'S FLANNEL PAJAMA PANTS
If you've watched my Instagram Stories, then this puzzle probably looks familiar. It was hard, but I became addicted to finishing it. Other designs available.
Is it even the holidays without flannel pajamas? J. Crew always has a great selection of pajamas. You can wear these stripes year-round whenever it's cold thanks to the classic pattern.
Because we all know your boyfriend, husband, dad, brother, or grandpa, could use a new pair of pajama pants and finally get rid of that *other* pair that's starting to get holes.

LOFTIE SMART ALARM CLOCK
BAREFOOT DREAMS ROBE
SLIP SILK SLEEP MASK
This is on my wish list. A smart alarm that syncs with your phone for multiple wake up times, but also features meditations, sound baths, and sleep noises.
A best seller year after year for a reason. This is the coziest robe I have ever owned and I will literally wear it any chance I get in the winter.
I love to give this as a gift because it's a little luxury many wouldn't buy themselves. Soft silk covers your eyes for a better sleep, but also protects the delicate eye area from scratches and tugging.
COZY FAUX FUR SLIPPERS
LOU & GREY LOUNGE SET
Fuzzy fur slippers basically feel like you're walking on a cloud. That's all.
I have been LIVING in this set. I wore it for a week straight once and it didn't bag out. The tapered leg elevates this set from "home only" to "okay to wear in public."

As someone who is terrified of needles, this resuable, medical-grade silicone patch uses fancy compression technology to plump skin and reduce fine lines without injections.
Facial steaming opens up pores to allow your products and serums to penerate deeper into your skin, allowing them to perform at their optimal level. Use the ice roller to help de-puff and increase blood circulation.
