30 Gift Ideas to Simplify Your Life this Season

I don’t know about you, but I love to give meaningful gifts to my family and friends as a way of conveying my love. However, with a limited budget and limited time, I have to get pretty creative about how I accomplish this goal. Do you find yourself in a similar situation?

This list of 30 gift ideas will help you simplify your life by giving you more margin time this season!

In my dreams, I’d love to be able to produce a hand-made gift-giving extravaganza on a shoe-string budget, but as a working mamma, that’s not an option. Nor do I have time to browse the stores for the best find, even though Black Friday is a great option!

So, instead, I’ve spent a few hours of brainstorming and browsing to come up with this list of options for gifts we can order online and have in hand before December 1st even hits. Do you know what that means? We can actually enjoy the holidays with family and friends and not have to worry about last minute shopping! Doesn’t that sound like a lovely idea?

30 Gift Ideas! Helping You Embrace Simplicity this Season! #moretobe #giftideas #christiangifts

Some of these gift options are perfect stocking stuffers or can be bundled together in a themed basket! Some are favs from our More to Be Shop, because if I didn’t love it, it wouldn’t be there. You’ll also see a bent toward what I call Holy Whole because of my own delightfully life-changing wellness journey through using essential oils and embracing a whole foods lifestyle. Let’s just say I’ve become as passionate about caring for my physical temple as I’ve always been about tending to my heart and mind. These gifts ideas have your tweens on up in mind, although I left out the littles, since they are the easiest to shop for and don’t hesitate to make their wants known!

No matter where you find yourself today, I pray these 30 gift ideas will help you embrace simplicity this season.

At the end of the day, we all know the real reason we celebrate Christmas. Whether we model our gifting-giving after the wise men delivering gifts to Jesus or practicing another kind of family-passed-down tradition, we wouldn’t have our holiday without that starry night when our Savior was born in a manger in Bethlehem. So before you even go browse the list,  take your first holy pause in this holiday season to reflect on the gift Jesus is too you and ask God to lead you in how to convey that gift to your loved ones this year.
