It’s that time of year again when most of us are thinking about shopping for gifts. So, let’s get right to it. Here are some of my favorite things for unique gift ideas – The Refreshing Talk Christmas Holiday Gift Guide 2018!
Jewelry
Personalize jewelry tops my list as one of the best unique gifts to give anyone on your life that likes jewelry. Check out these custom-made necklaces from Messages In Metal:

Books
Want to encourage the “more” that is in someone who you care about? Next Level Thinking from Pastor Joel Osteen is just the book to do that!

Is there a Disney fan in your life who wants to save money on their next trip? Disney World Hacks by Dia Adams may be the perfect eBook to give 🙂

Beauty
If you have spent any time here on the blog, you know that I enjoy my L’Occitane products for my skincare routine, shea butter moisturizing body care, and signature fragrances!

And for the best honey-infused body products and suncare, The Naked Bee is my best recommendation!

Experiences
A spa experience can make a great gift for someone who needs some rest and relaxation! The Spa at Massanutten Resort offers some new items to choose from to make for an exceptional spa day.

Do you have a James Madison University alum on your list? A stay at the new Hotel Madison on the campus of JMU could put a smile on their face!

Movies
For the action movie enthusiast, I recommend Marvel’s Black Panther to add to their collection!
