Gretchen Rubin’s Gifts for Family

red and white christmas stocking

Every year, we do the holidays in Kansas City with my family. These are some of my favorite, tried and true gifts for everyone from my husband Jamie, to my sister Elizabeth and our parents.

We’re all dog-crazy in my family, and I can’t wait to give my husband some socks decorated with Barnaby’s face.

A friend loves her Ember mug so much that she sent me one for no reason at all.

My mother told me how handy this little flashlight has turned out to be; she carries it with her all the time.

On the podcast, we’ve talked about the politics of the dishwasher. This helps—and is a great stocking stuffer.

The minute I spotted this wooden Advent calendar, I knew I had to have one. I love the Met; I love Advent calendars; I love little drawers.

This is one of our new items this year. And I just love it so much.
