Holiday Gift Guide

Misc

The Holidays are here already! I guess time flies when it was the worst year of all time LOL. Let’s close it out on a good note with some PRESENTS! I wanted to include small businesses as well as affordable gifts for everyone. There’s a mix of everything on here so I hope you can find something to gift and some ideas for your own wish list! xx

In the Kitchen

  1. Nespresso Vertuo & Milk Frother– Couldn’t even make it one day without my Nespresso. It’s honestly very reasonably priced and I linked it on Bed Bath & Beyond because they always have 20% coupons lol.
  2. Cheese Board– I love the idea of making someone a cheese board for a dinner party and having the cheese board be their gift. Like how cute is that?? I don’t think I will be attending any dinner parties this year but this still makes a great gift.
  3. Sous Vide– I love my sous vide and it is the perfect gift for the beginner or advanced chef! Easy to use and it’s something that a lot of people don’t already have. I got mine as an Xmas gift and I use it all the time!
  4. Mumgry Nut Butter– Hear me out. Pistachio Chocolate Almond Butter. SO GOOD!! Plus Mumgry is a Black owned small business!
  5. Always Pan– Obsessed with this pan! It is super nonstick and also looks super cute on the stove top. Another plus, it was founded by a badass immigrant woman and their team is majority immigrant or first-generation females. GIRL POWER!
  6. Immersion Blender– You all know how much I use my immersion blender. I feel like a lot of people don’t own them which makes them a great gift. I use mine for soups, sauces, smoothies, and more.
  7. Smeg Toaster– The cutest toaster ever. It’s a staple in my own kitchen and I already bought another one as a gift for my best friend!
  8. Wine Glasses– I get so many compliments on these wine glasses! They are classy, but a little edgy! Perfect to pair with a nice bottle of wine.
  9. HyperChiller– Where are my iced coffee lovers at?? This little gadget is a game changer ya’ll. It chills your hot coffee in just 60 seconds. I’m obsessed.
  10. Le Creuset Dutch Oven– Starting off with a splurge, but it is the perfect gift for anyone who loves to cook. Not only is it beautiful, it will literally last forever! Perfect for soups, stews, casseroles, and more.

Beauty & Wellness

  1. Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen– The best sunscreen on earth. I use this every day and it makes the perfect gift for anyone that is obsessive about their skincare. It will be their new favorite product!
  2. Equilibria CBD Set– Love these gift sets from Equilibria! All of their products also come with a 1 on 1 dosage consultation. My code is BROCCYOURBODY.
  3. Miranda Frye Gigi Chain– I wear this every day! So cute, minimal and you never have to take it off.
  4. Theragun Mini– The absolute perfect gift for literally anyone. It’s the best massager plus it is portable so you can take it with you anywhere!
  5. Silk Mask by Silkkin– Another small business we can support! These silk masks are the best EVER!
  6. Beauty Fridge– My sister got me this for Christmas last year and I love it! I keep my jade roller, sheet masks, and other skincare in it to keep cold.
  7. Golde Matcha Kit– This Matcha Kit makes the best gift, plus Golde is a small Black owned business!
  8. Everything Chain– This mask chain is so cute and chic! It is water-proof and tarnish resistant and can also be used as a necklace or bracelet. Plus you are supporting a small, Black-owned business- Kira is the sweetest ever!!
  9. Pillow Talk Lip Set– My favorite lip color that looks good on literally everyone.
  10. Facial in a Bottle– Another thing I cannot live without. My skin has changed dramatically since using this product. Code is BROCC20 for 20% off!
  11. The Dry Bar Double-Shot Blow Dryer Brush– I am truly obsessed with this Blow Dryer Brush from Dry Bar. Makes the perfect gift!
  12. Brooklinen Robe– If you want to feel like you are in a hotel or spa every day, put this on your wish list. My code is CARISSA20 for $20 off your order of $100 or more!

  6. By Chari Ashli Anklet– I love anklets and I feel like not that many people wear them! I love this brand because it is super classic and high quality, plus it is a small Black-owned business.
  7. Liquid IV Immune Support– Hydration + Immune Support! Perfect to add on to a gift or for stockings. Code is BROCCYOURBODY.

Ingredients:
12 oz spaghetti 
1 lemon, juiced and zested
1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
4 tbsp butter
Freshly cracked black pepper
Kosher salt
Red chili flakes
Parsley to serve
Instructions:
Cook your pasta according to the package- do not strain it! Save about 1/2 cup of pasta water.
In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the grated cheese, lemon zest, and slowly add in pasta water to create a thick creamy paste. Set aside.
Heat a large saucepan over medium heat and add about 1 tsp of black pepper and butter. Once the butter is melted, add about 1/3 cup pasta water to the pan.
Using tongs, add the pasta straight from the water it was cooked in to the pan. Add in the cheese sauce from earlier and combine. Season with salt, pepper, and red chili flakes. Add more pasta water if the pasta looks dry.
Remove from heat and add the lemon juice. Stir to combine and season to taste. Serve with fresh parsley and more cheese!
