26 Slam Dunk Gift Ideas From the Women of Second Life
I am lucky enough to host our podcast, Second Life, where each week I speak with founders, creatives, CEOs, authors, leaders, and industry pioneers who are creating next-level companies, best-selling products, must-read books, and so much more. Through them, I have had the good fortune of discovering some pretty incredible items that also happen to make excellent gifts. From the book you need to buy your best friend to sure-to-be-loved beauty stocking stuffers, here are a few of my favorite things I found via Second Life, all of which are worthy of being on your holiday shopping list.
In this Zoom world, suddenly earrings are in the spotlight. Look chic even when you feel meh with these elegant hoops.
You need this book, and you need another copy for your best friend. Period.
The gift that keeps on giving! Included with purchase is a For Days Memership. When you buy a For Days tee, you sign up for a subscription membership. You can send back your used tee for $8 and get a fresh one.
The Royal We was one of my favorite books of 2015, and I was so excited for the follow-up book: The Heir Affair. They're an amazing escape, and I truly think you'll enjoy both.
Legit the chicest pajamas/elevated loungewear/bed fashion ever.
One of my favorite face oils in the world. It's pricey, but lasts forever and is incredibly effective.
Everyone has a friend who keeps talking about switching to natural deodarant, but hasn't actually done it. Help her jump start her journey with this great stocking stuffer.
For your favorite CEO (or CEO-to-be), this chic and cheerful blazer will be just the pick-me-up she needs.
Full of easy-to-execute recipes that have tons of flavor and a slew of cool drink recipes too, this cookbook will bring joy to anyone who recieves it.
The Highlight Stick is literally a filter for your face. Buy one for your friend who owns a ring light, and she'll never have to plug it in again.
As the newly appointed creative director of Puma, June Ambrose is debuting some killer new designs for the brand... but not until 2021. In the meantime, she gave us this recommendation for anyone on your list. "I love the boldness of this bright orange sweater with the dash of sportiness it exudes!" says June.
A great bath soak has gone from being a luxury to a necessary indulgence, and this one from OUI the People is INSANELY wonderful.
Everyone loves OUAI, including myself, and their new hand wash and hand creme are truly delicious. Buy this for the cool girl in your life; she won't be mad.
I fell in love with Nyakio's enitre assortment, and this oil is perfect for soothing dry, stressed skin; no wonder it's the brand's best-selling product!
I strongly believe that we all need to celebrate the little things on a regular basis, and what better way to do that than with this refreshing, clean, sparkling wine?
Elevate your self-care routine with this clean, wildly special body oil. Your legs will thank you.
Perfect for your friend who talks about her snake plant like it's her friend. Make her feel seen by buying her this joyful pot.
For both The Crown fanatics and non-royalists alike, this incredibly researched book is a cut above the typical coffee table book.
Would we love to get these earrings from Santa? You bet. There are so many incredible (and surprisingly affordable) options from The Last Line, you're sure to find something for almost everyone on your list.
Bring a little bit of Reese Witherspoon's delightful spirit into your world with these cheery Draper James masks.
Brows are having a major moment right now, so make sure your BFF's look beautiful with this three-in-one kit.
Are you sick of your own home? Me too. Which is why I'm going to self gift myself some of Sarah's amazing pillows from her collab with Lulu + Georgia.
Most clean makeup brands leave me wanting more, but Lawless really brings it with fantastic colors and formulations. The lipsticks are my new go-tos.
