This post is an easy gift guide for homeschool moms, dads, teens, children, teachers, coaches, and more!
Giving gifts, or I should say selecting gifts, is one of my favorite things to do. When you want to bless someone you love or care for, it’s easy to want to find an idea that will make them smile!
That said, my top gift is personal and not listed here. It takes into account any personal interactions and inside jokes. I also love making a favorite-things basket for our closest family friends. Everyone in our family selects something from the year that they loved to include. It could be a book, an experience, a toy, a hair tool, a new snack from Costco, or a specialty store find. I adore these kinds of gifts because they are fun to put together and have a personal touch!
Gift Guide for Teachers and Mom Friends
Here are some of my personal favorite items, which I have or will be gifting this year:
- Perfume wasn’t my thing until I found Dime Beauty scents. They are light, clean, and non-toxic! I started with this Best Sellers sample set to figure out which one I liked the best (Core Memory). Then I ventured into their skincare and found gems like their Dewy Day Cream and their Nourishing Cleansing Oil. Both feel really clean and renewing.
- For the mom who is CEO of her family, I have been using this Home Planner for years, and it is a sanity saver to have all the plans and prep on paper.
- I started using this makeup brand when it first came out, and have LOVED using What the Foundation, Miracle Balm for a moisturizing blush, and the Hero Kit makes a great gift for smaller sizes of a variety of products (I actually picked one of these up myself so I could try all of their products without the full-size commitment).
- Cooking and baking are WAY more fun with great kitchen essentials that make the job easier! I’ve been using the Saute Pan and baking sheet (use “juicebox10” for a discount), and have my eye on more of their baking tools next.
- What kept me sane and cool during spring, summer, and fall (in CA, I pretty much use it year-round) was having this Evapolar Lite on my desk. It only requires water and releases cool air on me while I worked and homeschooled. I love the compact size and that it is so easy to use.
- This gift feels really special because not only does this nail gift set come with 6 nail polish colors, but you get a whole at-home mani system that is really cute and convenient.
- My absolute go-to shop to find beautiful gifts for Bible studies, Bibles, accessories, mugs, and even pretty jewelry. My code “juicebox10” stacks on top of sale prices!
- A great budget-friendly gift for teachers and friends would be some or even ONE of your favorite things from the year. For example, I love these screen wipes, and their packaging is perfect for gifting!
Gift Guide for Tweens and Teens
Straight from the mouths of teens, here are things they have loved receiving and/or things on their current wishlist:
Gift Guide for Teen Girls
- My daughter is really into aesthetic notetaking in her courses, which is fine by me because it leads to great study skills! She uses this pen and highlighter set to keep all her notes aesthetically pleasing.
- Both of us are drawn to these phone case designs because they are light and fun!
- Our sandal weather is almost year-round, and these are the sandals we both wear non-stop.
- Every photo-worthy event she attends, she brings our digital camera. Can someone tell my why teens love a digital camera vibe over a convenient phone photo?
- Our girls have never been big blow dryer users, but lately, we’ve been trying this combo blow dryer/voluminizer at night.
- Now that my oldest is driving on her own, I try to encourage crossbody purses for hands-free safety while out and about. This one is cute, efficient, and affordable.
- My mom gave one of these Birdie alarms to me for safety, and I am ordering one for my teen too.
Gift Guide for Teen Boys
- My son feels comfortable in this brand of jeans and pants. They fit his small waist and are just the right amount of baggy.
- This is the student planner that has made my non-planner a believer. He uses this every weekday to stay on track of assignments and due dates! It works great for middle schoolers and high schoolers.
- My kid loves these easy physical games to play at home during breaks. This hovering target game, this quiet indoor basketball hoop, and Spikeball (we bring this one to the beach or you can play in your yard).

Gift Guide for Tween Girls
- These are the snack chips daughter always craves! I am right there with her. 🙂
- I know some of you are right there with me and have to set a squishy budget and limit. If for some reason you’re looking for some to gift to make other kids squeal with joy, my daughter recommends these: toothpaste squishy, stress relief squishy for school, Sugar Taba Squishy, and this squishy set. I’m sorry, but also, you’re welcome!
- Giving the gift of a creative outlet keeps on giving. Here is the watercolor paint set, this book and this book that are always hits to have on hand.
- Do you have a fellow puzzle-lover in your family? My daughter finished a couple of these puzzles with a little added difficulty, and had a lot of fun!
- Her latest goals are aimed at sewing after a camp she did in the summer. We got this sewing machine and this desk to start her up.
