I am a gift person. I start making lists in November, I keep notes on my phone all year when a friend mentions something she loves, and I wrap everything way too early. This is my holiday gift guide for 2026, split up by the kind of person you’re shopping for. Every pick is something I own, use or would be thrilled to unwrap. — Cami Del Toro
How I shop for gifts
My rule is simple: give something she’ll use every week, or something she’ll remember forever. Everything in the middle ends up in a drawer. I also set a budget per person before I shop, because holiday sales are designed to make you forget you had one.
For the homebody
- A matching lounge set. Ribbed or brushed knit in cream, gray or chocolate. It’s the outfit I live in on Sundays.
- A silk pillowcase. Better for hair and skin, and it feels like a little luxury every single night.
- A really good candle. Something warm, like fig, amber or sandalwood. One nice candle beats three cheap ones.
- Fuzzy socks and a soft throw blanket. Basic, yes, but nobody has ever been sad about these.
For the beauty lover
- A hydrating overnight mask. Winter air is rough, and this is the product I reach for most in December.
- A gua sha or facial roller. Pretty on a vanity and actually useful for puffy mornings.
- A tinted lip balm set. Small, easy, and perfect as a stocking stuffer.
- A good SPF. I know it sounds boring, but in LA sunscreen is a love language.
If you want to know what I actually use, everything is in my skincare routine.
For the fitness girl
- A matching gym set. When I like what I’m wearing, I train harder. It’s that simple.
- A pilates or yoga class pack. One of the best gifts I ever got was ten reformer classes.
- Ankle weights and a resistance band set. Great for at-home days and travel.
- A big insulated water bottle. Ice cold all day, even in the car.
I shop a lot of these on sale, and my own list is in my Black Friday wishlist.
You can see how I use all of this in my workout routine.
For the fashion friend
- Gold hoops. Small, medium or large. Every woman needs at least one perfect pair.
- A silk scarf. Wear it in your hair, on a bag or around your neck. Endless options.
- Oversized sunglasses. Year-round essential in California.
- A classic black shoulder bag. The kind that goes with everything I mention in my fall outfit ideas.
For the music lover
A pair of wireless headphones, a vinyl of her favorite album, or a concert ticket tucked into a card. I’m always adding new songs to my playlist, and live shows are my favorite thing to give and get.
Experience gifts (my favorite category)
Some of the best gifts don’t fit under a tree. A brunch date at a spot she’s been dying to try, a sunset hike followed by tacos, a massage, a cooking class or a weekend road trip up the coast. Make a cute card with the plan written on it and put it in a little box so there’s still something to unwrap.
Stocking stuffers under $25
- Claw clips in a few colors
- Mini hand creams
- A cute phone grip
- Sheet masks
- Gourmet hot cocoa or a fancy coffee
- A small framed photo from a fun night together
Wrapping tips
I keep it simple and pretty: brown kraft paper, a black or cream ribbon, and a sprig of dried eucalyptus or rosemary tucked under the bow. Handwritten tags always. It looks expensive, costs almost nothing, and every gift matches under the tree.
My own wish list this year
Honestly? A new pair of knee-high boots, a weekend away somewhere with a fireplace, and more time at the beach. Of course, if you want to follow along with everything I’m up to this season, all my official links are on my Linktree below, and you can read more about me here.

FAQ
What are Cami Del Toro’s favorite gifts?
I love gifts I will actually use: cozy loungewear, skincare, a good candle, gold jewelry, fitness gear and experiences like a pilates class pack or a brunch date.
What is a good gift for a girl who has everything?
Choose an experience or an upgrade of something she uses daily, like a silk pillowcase, a nicer water bottle, a class pack or a framed photo from a trip.
