It’s timeeeee! (Do you hear Mariah Carey too?) Hi, friends. Welcome to your holiday lifesaver, the Ultimate 2024 Emily Ley Gift Guide! This year, I’ve gone all out to make your gift-giving a breeze with EIGHTEEN specially curated guides, rolling out just in time for you to find the perfect something for everyone on your list. From the latest gadgets for the tech-savvy teens to cozy finds for your homebody friends, this gift guide will have you covered. Each gift guide is tailored to a different crowd or interest, ensuring that no matter who you’re shopping for, you’ll have plenty of special ideas at your fingertips.
I can’t tell you how excited I am to have finally had the time to POUR into these this year. I’ve always wanted to do them, but I’ve always been on a book deadline during these months! This time, my team and I dove in head first and found the most special ideas to share with you. Each guide is thoughtfully compiled with a mix of splurge-worthy items and budget-friendly steals that are as unique and special as the people receiving them. Whether you’re shopping early or looking for last-minute ideas, we’ve designed this series to help you shop efficiently without the stress. Just consider this the holidays… simplified. :)

I’ve started gifting my sisters in law a few of my fave things that made my life easier/brought it a little joy each year. This year is La Roche Posay’s lip balm, a bag of coffee from a local roaster, and a thing of Buoy Hydration Drops.
This is perfection!! Thank you for sharing this 🤩
My favorite gift was a Dyson hair dryer from my mama - 3 years later, still using it 🙌🏻
