Starting off strong with products she raves about time and time again, Alex recommends her favorite belt bag and Stanley cup, both of which are under $50! Alex was spotted wearing the Everywhere Belt Bag on her Europe trip last year, and it’s been a staple of her wardrobe ever since. The versatile, lightweight bag has over 20,000 reviews thanks to its water-repellent fabric and secret back zipper pocket. In addition to the pink pastel that Alex has, the trendy Lululemon bag comes in nine more colors and patterns, so you won’t have trouble matching it to your loved one’s aesthetic.

As for the Stanley cup, Alex knows that drinking enough water is just as important in the winter. So why not give the gift of hydration this holiday season? With The Quencher H2.0 Flowstate Tumbler, which holds 40 ounces of liquid and stays cold for over seven hours, you can do just that. Alex’s go-to, cult-favorite cup is back in stock in a variety of shades, including limited edition holiday colors!

Up next: The Drummond girls live for a good hair day, which is why a silk pillowcase is a nonnegotiable beauty staple of Alex’s. After receiving the Slip silk pillowcase from Ree last Christmas, Alex soon found that her skin and hair improved within weeks. The “life-changing” effects can be attributed to the 22-momme mulberry silk, which reduces friction on your hair and skin. It's on sale for 30% off on Amazon, but the anti-frizz, anti-crease effects are priceless!

There’s also nothing like a good candle to add a bit of cozy ambiance to your home in the winter. Alex shared the “best smelling candle ever” from Anthropologie that doubles as a stunning decoration. The Capri Blue candle is in the scent Volcano, which is fresh and fruity with notes of citrus and mountain greens. It's available in a stunning limited-time, pearl-faceted glass vessel, and would make the perfect gift for someone looking to elevate their living space. Plus it’s 30% off right now!

When it comes to shopping for the trendsetter in your life, it’s hard to go wrong with accessories. Alex’s picks, including an adorable quilted tote bag and a stunning initial necklace, are no exception. The FP Movement Quilted Carryall is the perfect slouchy shoulder bag made of a lightweight, quilted fabric. It has plenty of pockets, so you can stay organized and secure whether you’re taking it to the gym or an overnight trip. Bonus points for the fun neon green and lilac colors.

Last but not least, Alex’s favorite initial necklace is a great personalized gift option that you can customize with your choice of initial and metal (it comes in gold and silver). It's the perfect everyday jewelry staple that will make your recipient think of you whenever they look down at their neck!
