2019 Holiday Gift Guide | 12 of the Absolute Best Gifts to Buy for Yourself

This 2019 holiday gift guide is to help you find the must-have gifts to buy for yourself.  Now that Thanksgiving is over the turkey is carved and you are caught up on family time, go ahead and get your shopping on for others and yourself!

To help you narrow down what items to ask for or which gifts to buy for yourself, I put this holiday gift guide together of my top gifts for Christmas 2019. These are the gifts you will want to both give and receive! But you’ll want to receive them more. Just saying.

2019 Holiday Gift Guide: Gifts to Buy for Yourself

1. Cutest Christmas Dress

I simply adore the Christmas print dresses on Shinesty. They are super cute and work well for a variety of physiques. They are well made too and fit true to size. These dresses will last too so you can wear it next year! (Or buy a new one. That’s fine too.) This is a great way to share your Christmas spirit and look fabulous doing it. Shinesty has casual clothing items to wear for every season too. Note: If you are more endowed on top, go up a size or plan to wear a tank top underneath. 

2. Pineapple Dried Fruit Platter

Sure you could send a gift basket from GourmetGiftBaskets.com to your friends and family members, but this is also one of those best gifts to buy for yourself. This gift is gorgeous and healthy, too! Thirty ounces of top-of-the-line dried fruit is beautifully arranged on a pineapple-shaped bamboo cutting board. The dried fruit includes pineapple, cherries, plums, apricots, dates, plums, kiwi, pitted prunes and apple rings. Put the platter out at your next holiday get together and share the love! And when the holidays are over, you still get to use the pineapple-shaped cutting board.

3. iRobot Roomba 980

This is a life-changing gift! It is one of the priciest items on my list, retailing around $800, but look for deals if you need to. You will be so glad you did! The Roomba 980 seamlessly cleans an entire level of your home. No more crumbs under the table. No more stepping on Froot Loops mashed into the carpet. You can use the iRobot HOME app to schedule cleaning from anywhere and come home to a clean house! One of my favorite features is that it can keep track of its location and recharges until the job is done.

4. Dafni Straightening Brush

The DAFNI hair straightening brush is for anyone who wants to blow out their own hair, or maybe just make their salon blowout last a little while longer. While there are some similar products flooding the market, you will get what you pay for. This brush let me give myself a good blow out for the first time ever. Even with my super curly hair it took me about 20 minutes to get a straight and sleek style!

I especially love it to extend blowouts. I used to skip working out so I wouldn’t sweat out my blowout, but now I just spend 5 minutes with the Dafni brush and I’m back to smooth and straight. Check out DAFNI go, the new portable edition of the original DAFNI with a detachable cord and thermal cover and case.

5. Fizzi Sparkling Water Maker

I’ve been trying to cut way down on my soda consumption and sparkling water is my new go to drink. The Fizzi Sparkling Water Maker is Sodastream’s newest product which turns water into  sparkling water in seconds. It is slimmer than previous models and takes up less counter space. And the number of flavors you can buy is impressive. My kdis love it too.

6. Verismo System by Starbucks

The Verismo System by Starbucks is a “wow” gift for coffee aficionados everywhere. It allows users to make Starbucks-quality coffee right at home. While it retails for $179, it might actually be a money-saving product for anyone with a serious Starbucks habit.

7. Personalized Sherpa Blankets

This is hands down the best massager you will ever buy. It is designed to be able to take with you in the car so those long road trips so you won’t have to be stiff for the entire vacation. It applies Shiatsu acupressure with optional heating and is ergonomically designed for your neck and shoulder. But it can also be used on your calves, back, and even belly. This is a one of the gifts to buy for yourself that will change your life.

10. Monster Hot Shot Speaker

This is a small little portable speaker with huge sound and is one of the most useful gifts to buy for yourself. It has “touch to pair” Bluetooth pairing to make it super simple and it’s small enough to clip to a backpack, jacket or belt loop. Go ahead and take your music anywhere: the park, beach, hiking, or just chilling. You can even use it as a speakerphone for conference calls ​with digital echo cancellation and noise reduction.

11. Detox Body Wrap from Warrior Body Spa

If you want to fit into your skinny jeans, that fancy holiday dress, or just to look great during the holiday season (and beyond), I suggest a slimming detox body wrap from Warrior Body Spa in Atlanta. During the 90 minute detoxification process, you can lose from 5 to 15 inches! (I lost nearly 9 inches!) This is not a water loss so the inches you lose will not come back as long as you maintain your weight. The herbal body wrap cleanses the body of toxins reduces the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite and tones and tightens skin. The home-like, intimate setting and welcoming staff makes this a refuge in itself. Check out the original location in Tucker and the newest one in Brookhaven!

12. Hamilton tickets

For your 2019 holiday gifts, don’t forget to offer yourself something to do! And with the HUGE Broadway hit, Hamilton, touring the country, this is the ticket to buy. If you are in Atlanta this Spring, Hamilton will have a 6 week run at the Fabulous Fox Theatre from March 31, 2020 to May 3, 2020. Lots of chances to see this fabulous musical. I’m not going to miss it again!
