The holiday season is here, and nothing excites me more than sharing the joy of gift-giving with you all!

I’ve curated a list of my absolute favorite pieces to help you find the perfect gift for everyone on your holiday gifting list. Whether you’re shopping for a loved one or treating yourself (which I highly recommend), I’ve got you covered.

Let’s dive into this year’s holiday gift guide!

Holly’s Holiday Gift Guide: 2024 Edition

For the Sentimental Soul

For the sentimental soul, I’d recommend creating a truly heartfelt gift by incorporating meaningful elements into them. I’ve seen customers use everything from wedding veil lace to concert confetti and baby blanket fabric—each detail adding a truly personal touch.

You can make personalized jewelry with the help of Dune that captures precious memories like no other gift. Reflect on the memories you share with your loved one—places, moments, or even inside jokes—and choose a piece that tells your unique story. It’s those thoughtful touches that make a gift unforgettable.

Personally, I wear sand from places that hold my favorite memories: Ketchikan, Alaska, Costa Rica, Positano, and the Caribbean. These have been some of my favorite trips.

Dune Jewelry

Round Boho Cuff Bracelet – Shell Scape

If you can’t decide on just one beach to include elements from, the Shell Scapes Collection showcases fragments of shells from iconic destinations worldwide, bringing nature’s artistry to life.

Dune Jewelry

Happiness Comes In Waves – Book

For a meaningful touch, consider Happiness Comes in Waves, a book I wrote straight from the heart. It’s filled with life lessons inspired by the ocean, uplifting quotes, and stunning photography. I even included stories about sand from Dune’s Sandbank!

It’s the perfect gift for someone who loves the ocean, cherishes memories, and finds joy in life’s simple yet powerful moments.

For the Glamorous Globetrotter

Dune Jewelry

Travel Treasures™ The Collector Charm Bracelet Set – 14k Gold Vermeil

For the globetrotter, I’d recommend our Travel Treasures™ Collector Charm Bracelet Set. It’s like collecting a little piece of every adventure. Pair it with Travel Treasure™ charms – I personally LOVE the Sphynx Cat and Passport Charm, but it’s hard to pick one. They make the ultimate stocking stuffer or keepsake for someone who loves to explore!

Elemis

Don’t leave your skincare at home. If you want travel-sized skincare products with the highest quality of ingredients, I recommend this travel set from Elemis.

For the Hostess with the Mostest

Natural OliveWood

Olive Wood Charcuterie Board

For dinner party hosts, I highly recommend this organic-looking olivewood charcuterie board. It’s a piece of functional art.

Host Gifts For Wine Lovers

For wine lovers, I recommend the Starfish Wine Stopper from our Turquoise Gradient line. It’s a beautiful, functional piece that any hostess will adore. Pair it with a bottle of their favorite wine, the stunning Kay Hova Beach Wine Glasses or a unique whale bottle opener, and you’ve got the perfect gift for all those holiday parties!

If they’re a real connoisseur, consider getting them a subscription plan to the Natural Wine Club. Personally, I love the Mixed Natural Wine Club.

Or you can make the whole party smell divine with Dune’s new candles! Find them online or in-stores at The Cove boutique.

For Your Partner In Crime

A vacation.

I know it’s not always possible but travel really is the best gift. Heading new places and creating memories together is the greatest thing you can do for any relationship.

We loved Costa Rica, Bermuda and Vermont for family vacations. If you want to give your partner a travel trip where they’ll have likeminded community and the experience of a lifetime aboard a cruise ship, consider signing them up for our newest Caribbean and Alaska cruises with Christine Kesteloo.

As for a romantic getaway…a quick trip to Mirbeau in Plymouth, MA is always a good one! For those looking for a charming and cozy stay, this Cape Cod cottage is the perfect place for a romantic getaway.

For the Lover of Luxury

Dune Jewelry

Diamond & Turquoise Gradient – Large Teardrop Necklace

For a luxury gift, I have to say, this Diamond & Turquoise Gradient collection necklace is going to be a showstopper this year. It’s like a wearable piece of ocean magic.

The diamonds represent the milestones we cherish, while turquoise embodies good fortune and a calming aura. Together, they capture the essence of the sea and the promise of beautiful memories ahead.

It’s an ideal gift for anyone who loves a touch of luxury with a nod to the sea.

For the Superstar Stocking-Stuffer

Dune Jewelry

I absolutely adore the this Dove Ornament. It symbolizes tranquility, love, and serenity.

Snowflake Ornament – 2024

The 2024 edition of our Snowflake Ornament is another great one. It’s a classic symbol of the season, and it’s so special when filled with sand from a memorable place.

Imagine personalizing this with sand from a family vacation—such a heartfelt keepsake for the tree!

These gorgeous ornaments from Kay Hova resemble ocean waves – a great stocking stuffer for beach lovers.

It’s all about indulgence! I’d personally go for the Neptune Earrings from our Diamond & Turquoise Gradient Collection. They’re elegant, versatile, and make any outfit feel extra special. Pair them with a cozy night in and a glass of wine—pure bliss!
