Stacey’s Favorite Things: The Ultimate Holiday Gift Guide for Women Over 40
HO HO HO! The holidays are here, and whether you're scrambling for last-minute gifts or looking for the perfect excuse to treat yourself, I’ve got you covered! Inspired by Oprah’s iconic "O" list, I’ve rounded up "Stacey’s Favorite Things" to help you feel pampered, festive, and fabulous this season! Each item on this list has been handpicked for its ability to make life a little sweeter, cozier, or more luxurious - and I use and am obsessed with every single one of them! Bonus? Every product is linked below through my Tap to Shop and Amazon links—because who doesn’t love shopping from the comfort of their couch?
1. DRMTLGY Eye Masks
Ladies, say goodbye to tired holiday eyes! These cooling eye pads are my secret weapon for reducing puffiness and brightening dark circles after late nights wrapping presents. Put them in the fridge and use them first thing in the morning to reduce dark circles and puffiness. Perfect for stocking stuffers or your self-care arsenal.
2. ZO Skincare by Dr. Obaji
I was first introduced to this skincare line through The Rejuvenation Center a short time ago, and I am amazed at the results that I can see only having used it for a few weeks! For glowing skin that gets all the compliments at holiday parties, ZO Skincare is a game-changer. Their advanced formulas help combat winter dryness and boost your skin’s natural radiance. You can snag this beauty box (if there are any left) at The Rejuvenation Center in Wheeling or shop my link below:
3. Ghirardelli Chocolate
Indulgence, anyone? Ghirardelli’s assorted chocolate squares are a must for holiday entertaining or sneaking into your own treat drawer. My personal favorite: dark chocolate peppermint bark—pure decadence and only 4 weight watcher points each!
4. Boyd & Blair Pre-Mixed Cocktails
I first found this cocktail mix at Pittsburgh Libations in the iconic Strip District of downtown Pittsburgh and it was love at first sight! Made from potato vodka and based in PA, Boyd & Blair’s pre-mixed cocktails are crafted with premium ingredients for a luxurious sipping experience. I brought these to a holiday gathering this year and they were a hit! My personal favorite flavor is the Blood Orange, Cranberry and Lime Cosmo - garnish with fresh cranberries and a sprig of rosemary to add a festive touch! From Moscow Mules to Cosmopolitans, these are perfect for all of your holiday gatherings.
5. Rejuvenation Center Gift Cards
Give the gift of glowing skin - or better yet, treat yourself! The Hydrafacial and Dermaplaning treatments at the Rejuvenation Center in Wheeling, WV, are divine. Trust me, this is a gift every woman will love.
6. Spanx Faux Leather Leggings
If you have been following my blog, you won’t be suprised by this item on my list! It is truly one of my all time fav winter wardrobe staples! These leggings are chic, comfortable, and endlessly versatile. Dress them up with a blazer or down with a cozy sweater—either way, they’ll have you looking holiday-ready.
7. Starbucks Peppermint Mocha Ground Coffee
My husband buys me this holiday flavor of coffee to brew in my Keurig starting the day after Thanksgiving and it has become a small holiday treat that I look forward to every morning in December. You will definitely bring the coffee shop vibes home with this festive brew. Perfect for cozy mornings by the tree or as a thoughtful gift for your caffeine-loving friends.
8. Jergens Wet Skin Moisturizer + Self Tanner
I have been getting lots of compliments - especially at the gym - on my tan this holiday season! My secret? Jergens Wet Skin Moisturizer Self Tanner! This self-tanning cream is a game-changer—you apply it right after your shower onto wet skin. It dries quickly, doesn’t streak, and leaves you looking radiant for all those holiday parties.
9. Bentgo Boxes for Meal Prep
Once again, if you are a fan of my blog these meal prep containers won’t be a surprise on my favorite things list! These bento boxes are perfect for meal prepping during the hectic holiday season and beyond! They also make an excellent gift for the health-conscious woman in your life.
10. Wine Condoms
Nothing says “let’s celebrate” quite like wine! However, in the very RARE event that you have some wine left over, make sure you “protect” your wine bottle and keep it fresh with these hilarious, but useful, wine condoms! Truth be told, I first found out about these little gems from my hairstylist and now they are one of my fav things! From a funny stocking stuffer to the perfect little favor to hand out at a holiday dinner with your friends, these wine condoms come in a box of 8 and will make sure you are always prepared. Drink safely, ladies! ;)
