Holiday Gift Guide: Classy, Sassy, Geek and Chic! 50 Gift Ideas

Hey friends, it’s that time again!  I am busy making list, checking it twice (only to find that I’ve left it at home on the counter… you know, haha).  But in all seriousness, today I’ve got some great gift ideas for you to check out!  I put my head together this year with my family and friends to come up with FIFTY gift ideas for everyone on your list.

Now, some gift guides are basically just an online catalog of brands who have paid or provided product to be included.  (There’s nothing wrong with that! Who else remembers circling your favorite things in the toy catalogs as a kid?)  This gift guide is not sponsored, it’s my personal list of recommendations this year for all the different types of people on your list!  Most items are pictured, and most links to shop are affiliate links – which means that if you start your shopping here with me at Happy Hour Projects, I’ll earn a small commission if you decide to make a purchase.

Craft books by Adrianne Surian

I’m going to kick things off by recommending that for the craft lover in your life (and hey, maybe that’s you!) that you pick up my craft books as you shop this year.  Adding DIY Stamped Metal Jewelry or DIY T-Shirt Crafts to your Amazon cart helps me support my family as a writer, and in the two books there are a total of 80 projects that you won’t find on the blog!  Thanks to all my fabulous readers who help me keep tutorials free and allow me to work from home with my kids!

Now – let’s get in the spirit of things!  Below you will find classy gifts, sassy gifts, geek gifts, chic gifts, gifts for kids, gifts for guys, girls – there’s bound to be something interesting for every person on your shopping list!

      Ugh, I KNOW! It’s the #1 thing on my list (for myself, lol) and I know my husband won’t be able to find one. I’m still hoping, though!

      Me too! I actually got the series as a gift a few years back and it was wonderful to binge on that for a few days, haha! I included it here because I enjoyed it so much personally. And Jordan Catalano… well just don’t get me started. ;)

    I love that dinosaur t-shirt, lol. Funny. How exactly does a pressure cooker work? I”ve been hearing a lot about them.

      This was an item my assistant encouraged me to include for the kitchen gadget folks (which I am really not, haha). She wrote a review of thismodel earlier this year that you can take a look at here: http://happyhourprojects.com/chicken-noodle-soup-recipe/

      Basically – a pressure cooker speeds cooking time, retains moisture in cooked food because it’s sealed and you don’t have evaporation issues, and there are several one-pot set-it-and-forget-it recipes floating around out there. If you’d like to know more, I’ll have her chime in!

Hello, and welcome! I'm Adrianne, an artist, author, designer, and blogger in mid Michigan. I work from home, chase my two kids, and this once-city-girl is learning how to care for chickens and adjusting to life out in the country. I have a compulsion for daily creativity... sometimes it's jewelry-making, paper crafting, metal stamping, mixing and baking, or giving new life to recycled items. But with 2 young kids, time is short! My goal here at Happy Hour Projects is to share projects and tips that you can do in an hour or less. The ideas you find here are designed to add a little creativity in your day, no matter how much (or how little) time you have!
