AND now…. my 2025 Holiday Gift Guide!

For the Shlepper

My job requires props, things, crap I have bring to this class and to my office and for this talk…on and on…you too?

I have just the thing! The Hulken original rolling tote bag! I got a large for work and a medium for travel (be sure to measure!). They come in just about every color…I just got mine and it moves SO easily. Take all the extra stuff no problem!

For the Organizer…finally ~
SEE everything in your closet!I love these closet organizers…you can actually SEE inside the baskets!

And this one, it just grabs the space that you didn’t know you had, I use mine for slippers.

Even works on the dreaded corner shelves…No need for a fancy, pricey custom job, just measure and voila! Totally worth it!

Because let’s face it, this is about as Marie Kwondo as most of us are gonna get, right? 😜

For the Meditator,
Seeker of Peace, Calm
and Overall Mental HealthLovetuner

Omigoodness! I LOVE this thing! I love using technology and science to deepen my meditation practice and help folks along who are struggling to focus or even show up. This little device is all of those things but you don’t need to plug into anything at all! The Lovetuner hangs around your neck and you just give it a blow to experience the love frequency and voila! You are dropped in!

It truly deepens your meditation experience. For real. I love the Lovetuner so much that I had the founder, Sigmar Berg, as a guest on my podcast on 2/11/25 just in time for all the love on Valentine’s Day! I mean it, you are going to LOVE adding this magical device to your meditation practice.

Right now, you can get this lovely gift for 5% off if you put in the DISCOUNT CODE: CHERI

Yay! Makes a great gift or keep it for yourself!

Let me know what you think!!!

“We want to inspire a global community to come together in harmony for a more loving togetherness.”

Sigmar Berg, LOVETUNER founder

For the “Always Cold”

Oh! I just LOVE a toasty towel coming out of the hot tub, and it’s pretty luxurious after a shower, too. This towel warmer holds enough for two big towels AND two robes. Yesssssssssssss. Also, works outside or inside and even has a dryer setting. The best!

For The Organized Book Lover

This tree bookshelf is adorable, different and perfect for on the floor in the bathroom or on your desktop…I have the floor ones all over my house. So easy to tidy up and see exactly what next on your list. Love.

For The Lazy Decorator

A no hassle, pop up six foot ready made adorable Christmas tree??? Yes pleeeeeeeeease! I bought FIVE of these, no kidding! (Two for me, of course!) This thing goes up in about 1 minute and you can add the bulbs and lights (included!) but I have mine ‘naked” and they are the cutest! They come in EVERY color, the best!

Oh, WHAT FUN! Check out my Christmas song here…Spotify or Apple Music

For the Quirky Fun Animal Lover

These animal socks are SO fun and the price is right! Always a big hit!

For the Gym Rat

Every single person at the gym throws their water bottle, keys and phone on the nasty gym floor where they are working out. This magnetic gym bag just sticks to the machine and keeps everything tidy, close by and accessible. So smart!

These are also pretty non-gender specific so I grabbed one for my son who let’s just say doesn’t always come home from the gym with everything he left with! 😉

For Jesus Lover

When Jesus is the reason for the season this gift is a Christmas miracle! This little jar of Bible verses delivers small daily doses of love and encouragement at your fingertips. So, so sweet!

For the Aromatherapy Curious

I am a big fan of aromatherapy! My all time favorite is Eden’s Gardens hands down. There are so so many choices and everything smells amazing. My favorites are Best Sleep Ever, Concentration and Memory and Buying a Set is definitely the best deal. You can create your own set, or test some sampler sets and there are even Stress Less set s! #thestresstherapistapproved

For the “Always Hot”

I run HOT. All the time. The double whammy? I’m also a stomach sleeper. I have tried ALL the pillows, bedding, everything…THIS is what works. Wow! I take this with me whenever I plan to be away from home overnight.

Bonus: Works for side and back sleepers too!

For the Traveler

Let’s face it, those seat back trays are probably quite germy and barely functional. Say goodbye forever to anything you toss in a seat back pocket. Airplane Pocket solves all the problems and it takes less than five seconds to put on and take off. I ALWAYS bring mine…folds up like a napkin, takes up barely any space in your carry-on and Voila! No germs, a tidy space and nothing gets lost. Big fan!

For the Purse Resister, Concert Goer, Errands Runner Minimalist

I LOVE this!!! I am a big concert goer and I hate taking my phone in and out of my pocket or purse again and again to take pics and vids. And sometimes, you don’t need all the stuff…just the essentials. Save the Girls lanyards are the BEST. There are all types of variations to make sure you don’t lose, drop or forget one thing. I keep it in my car and I use it ALL the time.

For The Reader

Best Overall ~ WOW
James by Percival Everett

Honestly, despite rave reviews about this switch up POV of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, I did not think I would like this book. I mean, why mess with such a good thing, right?

WRONG. This book is magical and wonderful and I am so, SO glad I picked it up. I ended up buying a few copies as gifts. Who wouldn’t love this story from Jim’s perspective? Sounds meh? You don’t know Jim then…meet James. I guarantee, this book will surprise you in the most wonderful way…Adventure doesn’t even scratch the surface of this ride!

Best Overall ~ RomCom (?!)
Hello Stranger by Katherine Center

This! THIS! So I am historically NOT a Romance or RomCom fan, but I have a changed heart! My daughter recommended this book to me and I am so glad because it is the cutest, most clever story and I am LMAO throughout the whole thing! Just perfect. I really did swooooooon! Chef’s kiss!

Smart Page Turners

The Last One by Will Dean

What if you were on a cruise with your man and you woke up that first morning looking forward to a beautiful view and a breakfast buffet only to find that everyone on the boat was gone and you are the only person on the whole ship! I LOVED this one….so good!

The Good Sister by Sally Hepworth

A thriller with an expected romance with characters I love so much that I am still missing them terribly months after finishing the book? Yes, please!

Best Spiritual Book

The Bhagavad Gita Introduced and Translated by Eknath Easwaran

ANYTHING by Eknath Easwaran is the truth and life-changing. His writing is so relatable and the way he makes the Gita accessible is unprecedented. I read this one over and over and over. If you’re ready for a simple and digestible take on this sacred text, this could surely be it.
