It’s hard to deny we live in a world that has long valued beauty. Most of us have spent years perfecting our picture perfect poses and selfie game. Gift Giving 101 tells us that our presents need to keep up with the times and a tool that betters the pictures we take does just that.

Heavy Weight Weighted Blanket 

Vellux

Owners of weighted blankets will testify to the power a weighted blanket has. Many say that sleeping under a weighted blanket is the best sleep you’ll ever have. Show you care about your loved ones' rest and get them a weighted blanket they’ll love and use to recharge for many years to come.

WestPoint Home’s highly rated Vellux Weighted Blanket is available in six soft colors.

This gift is great for all ages and ideal for anyone you know who has trouble sleeping.

Zephyr Jogger and Keyhole Top

Once you wear joggers to work, you can never go back. The COVID-19 pandemic helped most of us become addicted to athleisure wear as work, school, and everything else became remote. Just because many activities are no longer being done remotely doesn’t mean you can no longer wear comfortable clothes whenever you feel like it. Gifting a matching top and jogger set is a great way to show proof you're a gifting wizard who prioritizes a deserving loved one’s need for comfort.

These newly released zephyr joggers by Wolven are comfortable enough to wear to the gym (or the couch) and cute enough to wear everywhere else. Pair the joggers with the matching zephyr keyhole top and you’ve got a striking lounge-or-anything-else set to gift. These items may not be the most budget friendly as the joggers and top are $98 and $72, respectively. On the bright side, quality clothes such as these can last for years to come!

Anyone who loves comfort and has an appreciation for rich prints will adore you for this gift set.

The Baby Bootie

When the pandemic hit, lockdowns and restrictions kept most of us indoors. The majority of us were able to spend more time than ever with those who lived with us. It’s no wonder there seems to be a big baby boom going on! You’ll never go wrong or be under appreciated when gifting diapers, wipes, and baby clothes to the growing families in your life!

Pride Body Wash Pack

Shopping for men can be just as easy as it is hard. While they are often easier to please than the women in our lives, the gift selections to choose from are often subpar and, honestly, boring. Instead of going for the common t-shirt or tie, take a gamble this first time and gift hygiene items. Every Man Jack is a natural grooming line that caters to active men.

This budget-friendly $25 Pride body wash pack is a five-star reviewed gift set that any man will appreciate. The giftee will be able to relish in a luxurious shower provided by this essential oil scented body wash, and you will have donated to a good cause, as 25% of the proceeds go to Rainbow Railroad.

The outdoor or fitness loving men in your life will thank you tremendously when they open this box set.
