The RLS Last Minute Gift Guide 2022

Doesn’t everyone say that this year’s last minute gift guide is the best one ever? Maybe so. But this year’s holiday gift guide may be the best one we’ve ever done, last minute or not. We want to give you details about so many items! However, the best use of your time at this late date is to stop reading, pull out your unfinished gift lists, and start clicking!

As always, self-gifting is highly encouraged! Go ahead. You deserve it!

Happy Shopping!

Lani’s Wishlist

I mean, does anything below surprise you? Fashion, rainbow, cherry blossoms, and…gourmet vegan cheese! What can I say? I’m lactose intolerant. The lavender RLS office is crying out for the Bloom Planners File Folder Set in Lavender Daydream. And maybe my family could finally stop booking plans on top of each other if we got a custom Erin Condren Acrylic Weekly Wall Calendar?

Kyle’s Wishlist

Isn’t Kyle’s vibe so fun?! I (Lani) found the It’s OK Clay Earthly Delights: Spoon Rest and Striped Mug for her list. They reminded me of Kyle immediately! I may buy her the Lego Orchid for Christmas so I can make her leave it on display in the office! And I’m pretty sure we both want everything with Kurt Geiger’s London Eye on it. A pink hat with the eye on it may possibly be on it’s way to me from my trip to NYC last week…

Stocking Stuffers

You know the saying, “There’s an app for that?” Wick & Bar could adapt a new saying, “There’s a candle for that.” Find a candle with the most perfect, witty saying (or occasion) for anyone on your list. I would love to tell you about the one my friend Kirstin got for her mom friends last year, including lucky me. However, it is so witty that it is inappropriate to print.

I just started using the Clean Circle Bamboo Velour Skincare Pads myself. So far so good. They are super soft and seemingly well made. Hopefully they cure me of my disposable cotton pad habit!

Hygge Gifts

Let’s be honest, there are multiple items in this hygge gifts section that Kyle and I really wanted on our last minute gift lists! In fact, best employee ever/Kyle already bought me a custom lavender Fellow Carter Move Mug and Splash Guard with “Wear Your Power” printed on it.
