Oprah is famous for her favorite things. But, everyone has his/her favorite things, too. Whether it’s something in the kitchen, your makeup bag, or a travel necessity you just can’t live without…you have your favorites! We love when people share items they can’t live without with us, so we love the idea of a favorite things party this holiday season. The idea is to bring 3 of your most favorite things under $15 or $20, exchange amongst laughter, food and drinks, then leave with 3 new favorite things. To keep it manageable and affordable, add a $ limit. We like the $15-$20 range, but you can encourage people to bring one to two items for more money, if you wish.
We created an adorable invite on Etsy to celebrate the favorite things party. You can make your own edits on Canva, or place the order and we will make the edits for you. Just leave all the details and your email in the notes section at checkout, and we will send you the invite file.
Speaking of favorite things, we compiled some of our personal favorites under $20. Happy shopping.
garlic press – we’re Italian, so I guess it comes with the territory, but we love our garlic. We eat it when we’re healthy, we eat it when we are sick, and we add it to almost every meal. A garlic press, or this cute smasher, is a must-have in our kitchens.
Milk Frother – We use it every morning and afternoon – literally all the time! We use it for our Flavcity shakes, and when we add collagen and other powders/oils to our coffee. Love this little tool.
Silk Pillowcase – This is such a simple luxury that feels good every night we rest our heads. These make great gifts, and there are lots of colors and patterns to choose from.
Dae hair strand smoother – Jodi and her daughter love this wand that smooths away all those pesky hair wisps. This is a teen girl favorite, and mom’s too.
Heatless Curls – We don’t know how it works, but it actually works. Wrap/twist/braid your hair with the silk wand item at night, and in the morning, you will have beautiful, bouncing curls.
Candle Warmer – We can be forgetful, and sometimes forget to blow out candles. With this candle warmer, you don’t need matches, and you won’t have flames to worry about. Just a cute lantern that provides ambiance, and the smell of your candle under the heat of the lamp.
lotion and lip gift set – Jenna loves this lotion she found in Fairplay, CO this summer. Simple ingredients are in this small business goat milk lotion that smells heavenly.
Meat Masher – this little tool makes cooking so much easier. Meat is perfectly minced with a good texture.
Tweezerman Tweezers – There is no better set of tweezers as far as we are concerned. These grab those pesky hairs easily, and this travel size is great for the car when the hair really show up in that natural light. Friends don’t let friends walk around with unwanted chin hairs. 🙂
Travel Jewelry Case – this is the perfect travel size jewelry box. The jewelry doesn’t get tangled because there are mini pouches for each piece. This is a great gift for women and teens!
happy hour cocktail glass – we love all the cute anthropologie glasses with words and symbols. There is a glass for everyone. It’s always fun to drink a cocktail or cocktail from a cute glass. This would be a cute gift with an LMNT, mini wine can, Poppi or something fun tucked inside.
Jade Roller – You can depute your face every morning and night with this jade roller. It is a tiny tool that feels luxurious.
Loose Leaf Tea Strainer – This loose leaf tea strainer is amazing. We love our tea, especially in the winter. This glass pot can be warmed on the stove with loose leaf tea, then pours the perfect cup!
