Family Pajamas
Every Christmas Eve we give the gift of PJs in my family. It’s something cute we all look forward to and a consistent gift we know to expect. But in all the years as a family, we have only been able to match each other maybe once until finding Millie + Roo this year. Not only are all of Millie + Roos’s super soft bamboo PJ styles adorable, but they have sizes for EVERYONE in the family! From our 4-month-old to our toddler, our elementary kids and teens up to me and my husband they have our sizes! We can match each other in style and design or choose not to match at all — but at least everyone gets a pair of PJs so no one is let out. Definitely check out the Millie + Roo website for your family’s next get-together.
Family Fryer
Gift the ability to make yummy food fast without the fuss. Fritaire is a one-of-a-kind non-toxic glass air fryer made without BPAs, teflon, and phthalates to ensure safely cooked meals using one of the 6 cooking modes. Family time doesn’t need to be complicated and now making a meal together doesn’t have to be either!
Fluffy Friends
With the gift of an adorable Friendsheep character dryer ball, your friend or family member won’t accidentally send their kiddo to school with your underwear in their shirt thanks to static cling. From bees and penguins to stars and tie-dye, the fluffy fair trade wool dryer balls at Friendsheep are too cute not to have in every laundry room. Friendsheep also sells wool for essential oils, ornaments, and lanyards. Check them out!
Clean water
Clean drinking and cooking water is less common than you know — most city water supplies include chemicals like lead, chromium 6 (2 of every 4 American homes have this), chlorine, arsenic, and PFAS (in addition to a host of others) to get the water “clean,” leaving families with unsafe chemical water. Whether boiling water for a pasta dish or baby bottle or simply filling up a reusable water bottle, families need to start with safe drinking water because contaminants don’t boil out. AquaTru makes clean water attainable via options like an on-the-counter water purifier with a glass pouring pitcher (no plastics, here) or an under-the-sink solution so families can focus on making & enjoying traditional meals together, not whether or not their foods & drinks are safe.

Soothing Air
It’s the most wonderful time of the year … for colds. Help your family breathe again with the new 4-in-1 Canopy Humidifier available at Target for less money than you can find it anywhere else. It’s compact, easy to use, and mold-resistant. The best part? It’s a cool mist humidifier without the mist! Yep, no more humidifier-soaked sheets and floors. You can put Canopy in the dishwasher to clean i, too, making this is my favorite humidifier right now. Oh, and did I mention the sweet little essential oils you can add? Get yours (and your friends’ Canopy) below.
Family Game
Most people think of board games when considering gifts for the whole family, but Brass Monkey’s Giddy Up horseshoe game is a much better choice. Not only is this nostalgic game fun, but family members of all ages can play the game to pass the time during the holidays, and it’s super compact so you can take it to a family member’s house for something to do over there too. Buy Giddy Up for your family, or someone else’s, or to create a new holiday tradition!
Connection
Gift Navigating Nurturing Touch, our online infant massage and communication course to families expecting a baby soon or who have a baby! Infant massage is a great way for caregivers and big siblings to learn how to communicate with babies while also helping to alleviate gas, boost brain development, and improve sleep.
