The Sparkled Life - Holiday Gift Guide

omg I havent used this blogger platform in FOREVER.  feels like old times.  so cute.  holiday gift guide...let's do this.


if you're anything like me, the holiday gift season is the most opportune time to ask for all those "adaptive and sick and fabulous tools" that just dont make it in to the budget during the year.  so many people will ask "where did you get this fun tool?", to which I very kid like respond: "SANTA!". 


but for real, whether you're building a list to give to santa for yourself, or looking for gifts for a sick and fabulous loved one, below are a few tried and true fabulous gifts that I'd highly recommend. 



the amazon holiday gift guide 

the bike, the ice roller, the LOVED BY EVERYONE ICE PACK, you cant go wrong with anything on this list.  

everything on this list I own, have used for years, and are worth the investment.  I included the shower wipes because theyre actually (not surprisingly) the most popular item in the community.  literally, theyre amazing.  dont skimp on them!




just the comfys holiday list

bombas socks.  the little compression in the regular socks feels like a hug on your feet.  its gentle and rewarding. 

if you want something more compression-y, highly suggest their compression socks.  I wear them almost daily.

SOMA!!! omg there isnt another brand I love more.  

their cool nights pjs are amazing all year long - theyll keep the night sweats away while also keeping your body temperature regulated.  they are the only brand Ill wear to bed.

the bra - i know a bra for the holidays really? yes, really.  its the perfect bralette - its comfortable, easy to put on (key!!!), and attractive.  I own more pairs that I should admit.  theyre truly amazing.




the small business guide

(I know I probably forgot some good ones but these are my 5 go tos I use almost daily)

koldtec - the wearable ice pack.  it's a classic.

the embr wave - who doesnt know temperature regulating technology? the cold feels like an ice cube to the wrist and the warm (my favorite of the two) feels like warming your hands by a heater/fire.  

releaf pack - they're cute, they mold to what hurts, and they stay freaking cold. I sleep on these (legit, under my head) every night.

yuyu bottle - i have two of these, the hot water bottle and the sport ice bottle.  damn, I just love them.  the hot water bottle stays warm for 5-6 hours and is much safer than a heating pad! the sport ice bottle - again, another thing I sleep with every night.  I keep it in bed by my feet just in case they are burning.  it stays cold throughout the night.  its amazing. 




the extras

things you cannot go wrong with when buying for your sick and fabulous friends: the gift of convenience.  I use both shipt and instacart every week. you can gift someone a subscription for a year of free delivery.  let your loved ones stay home away from germs and do all the shopping from the convenience of their phone.

and then of course, any starbucks giftcards, delivery.com, grubhub...they may seem basic but any reason to just order something instead of having to make it is a little miracle to us.  really.


thank you for reading all these! here's hoping for a lovely holiday seasons!
