2022 Amazon Gift Guide
This is my first year doing gift guides because I’ve never really considered myself an influencer, however, I love sharing great things that I find and use. So here’s a list of things that I have bought from Amazon over the past year or so and love! If you are looking for a variety of gifts, look no further. This list has both practical and fun gifts that I’ve loved and I know the people on your list will too.

This first set of items are a few beauty, travel and home items that I’ve loved.
Cute Sweater Vest. I tried a few before I landed on this one. I didn’t want an oversized sweater vest or a cropped one so it took a bit of trial and error before I found this one. It’s cute to wear with a turtleneck underneath or just on its own.
Travel Makeup Mirror. I actually use this at home as my regular makeup mirror and I take it on every trip as well. It folds up and is slim so it doesn’t take up space in your bag. I loved it because oftentimes when I go on trips I have to do my make up outside of the bathroom if sharing with friends so this mirror has been a great find so that I’m not having to use my compact tiny mirror to do my makeup.
Cutie Clutch. This clutch has been my go to for weddings and events this year. It has a shoulder strap or you can tuck the strap inside to use it as a hand clutch. It comes in lots of colors but I went with the cream neutral color.
Neutral Clothing Rack. I got this several years ago and it’s a staple in my room. I needed something to fill the space in my room and wanted to display some of my favorite outfits. It’s lasted me all this time and still in great condition!
This next set of items are a few home items that became fast favorites.
Sunrise Alarm Clock. Now you might see this list and wonder why I have 2 alarm clocks. This clock is similar to the Hatch Sunrise Alarm clock but for a fraction of the price. I wanted this sunrise clock because I have a really hard time waking up during the winter months whenever the sun comes up later and I needed something that would help me wake up. This has worked well for me with the sunrise simulator to help my body wake up much easier. I don’t use the clock function on this and really just use it for the light feature and keep it across the room.
Phone Charging Alarm Clock. This is the clock that I use for my actual alarm clock and it has a wireless phone charger on top that you can lay your phone on to charge. I still use my phone alarm too as a back up but I’ve been trying to get away from being so tied to my phone especially at night and in the morning to help with my sleep.
Candle Lamp Warmer. This cute lamp has become a fast favorite in my house. I bought it a few months ago when I moved into my new apartment because I’m allergic to plug ins and needed something to get some stale smells out of my apartment. This candle lamp warmer is great because it’s cute, acts as a lamp and warms the candle from the top down so the smell is stronger for longer. I’m able to use whatever candles I like which works great for my allergies! Oh and the height is adjustable to different candle sizes!
Neck Massager. I got this several years ago and then got one for my mom last year. We both love it and all my friends love it too when they come over. The arm loops are nice so that you can add the level of pressure you need by pulling your arms. I find that my neck gets the tensest from being on the computer for work so this comes in handy to relieve my neck tension.
This section covers a few books and games that I like to recommend to people.
Hidden Christmas by Timothy Keller. This book is one that I just started reading and have been loving for the Christmas season. It’s been great to dig deeper into the story of Christmas and reflect.
It is Written by Courtney Wilson. This is my devotional book that I wrote and released in 2018. It’s been helping people ever since and I always love to recommend it as a gift… plus it’s still on sale through the end of this year 2022.
Chapter by Chapter Bible Commentary. This is my favorite commentary to use with my bible study time. It’s simple and insightful and written by a trustworthy pastor. I’m very picky with commentaries because I like to make sure that the person writing it won’t mislead my faith. This one has been highly recommended by my pastor as well.
Iron Gate Board Game. This has been my new favorite board game this year. I love playing it with friends and it’s a fun logic puzzle/ activity for game night!
Homegoods or home…goods… These are some favorites that I’ve purchased over the years or had gifted to me that you would love too!
Speckled coffee to go mug. This cute mug has been my go to for coffee when I’m on the run.
Ice Tray and bucket. My current and last apartment both didn’t have ice makers so I finally found this gadget and it’s worked so much better than having a lot of individual trays. I like that it’s compact and you can dump the ice into the container below so you always have a lot of ice ready.
Egg Dash Cooker. This has been the easiest way for me to make hard boiled eggs and it’s pretty much fail proof for me. I had the model before this and now I have the newer version because the timer is much more pleasant than the old version.
Jar/ Bottle Opener. My mom put me onto this one. It’s been great for opening jars because it gives you more leverage. There’s still a few tricksters that this doesn’t always work on but for most jars it does the trick.
DeLonghi Espresso Machine. My dad got this for me last Christmas and it’s been my fav! If you want an espresso machine without spending $500 this one is a great budget friendly version under $200 and it makes great espresso!
Last but certainly not least! A few favorite car and house hold gadgets!
Ottocast Converter for Carplay. This was well worth the price for me (I bought mine on a big sale). I was having trouble with using carplay with the charging cord in my car where it would continually disconnect or not work for the longest time. My car is a 2018 Rogue so it doesn’t have the wireless carplay feature like the newer cars have so I started researching to see if there were any safe converters I could plug into my car to make the carplay wireless. This gadget does just that and now I’m able to use carplay without having to plug my phone into the car. I still have to charge my phone separately but for using GPS and spotify in my car this has made things much easier for carplay features.
Car organizer for trunk. This organizer has been helpful for my groceries and shopping so that when I open the back of my car, things don’t spill out. I’ve had a few too many lost groceries because of a bag shifting in the trunk and then I open the hatch where it swiftly falls to the ground so I bought this to prevent that from happening. Highly recommend!
Magnetic Lint Bin. This has been nice to have in my laundry area so that lint doesn’t collect on my dryer and so I don’t have to walk to the kitchen to throw it away every load. I stuck this to the side of my dryer and I only have to empty it once a month vs every load I do.
