My friends and I have been getting together for a favorite things party for a few years now, and it’s one of favorite things we do. We always have so much fun!

Of course finding the perfect gift for anyone is a thoughtful gesture in and of itself, but there’s something to be said for buying the things you love most, your favorite things, and gifting them.

It takes on a special sentiment when you get something that makes someone’s life easier, is some kind of a miracle worker, or because it simply brings them joy.

And if you’re sitting there wondering what a Favorite Things Party is, you can read all about it here!

Here’s a roundup of the favorite things everyone gifted!

1. This lip gloss instantly makes you feel and look like you have a radiant glow and, yes, 100% worth the price.

So nice to have in your diaper bag to use if you need a quick pick-me-up!

2. We were late to the party on this one, but now I totally get the hype

Turns out there is a reason why everyone and their mother has this water bottle.

It really is the best! Plus it comes in tons of cute color combos so you can pick a different one out for each of your friends (which is what my friend did at our favorite things party!)

3. Lash primer that makes your lashes look incredible

Another item that goes on quick and makes you feel more put together when paired with a good quality mascara.

4. Clean mascara that promotes volume and length (and comes in brown!)

5. This knife

I’m telling ya, this knife is sooo handy. I easily use it at least once every day. And it’s pretty much always my go-to when it comes to gift giving.

6. These super absorbent dish towels.

Everyone will thank you for this one.

7. A pretty travel mug that keeps your beverage warm for hours

This is one of my new favorite things to give to friends, because it keeps your drink warm for hours.

And even if you aren’t going anywhere, this mug is so nice to use at home if you often find that by the time you go to take a sip of your coffee it’s already cold (hello, busy moms!)

8. Socks that are cute, cozy, and cushion-y

Quarter socks are having a moment, and we’re here for it. These are ultra comfortable!

9. A really, really good smelling candle that doesn’t cost a small fortune

10. Seasoning that’s good on just about everything

Another gift that’s one of my favorite things to give to people! (Do yourself a favor and order yourself one while you’re at it!)
