Today, I’m thrilled to introduce my clever, stylish, and all-around fabulous former neighbor, Carly Koemptgen. As a 20-something herself, Carly has taken the lead in curating her top Amazon Christmas gift picks!
She’s personally selected the first twelve ideas, adding her own thoughtful commentary on why each one makes a fantastic gift.

These ideas will work well for holiday giving, hostess gifts, birthday gifts, new moms, or unique home gifts. In addition, most items are affordable at prices under $50.
Remember, you can always make your own gift too! This is a thoughtful, personalized, and usually inexpensive way to give. See these DIY handmade gift ideas or easy homemade food gifts for ideas.
