Reese Witherspoon 'loves to give' these gifts at Christmas, and we only wish we were on the receiving end
The actress-approved gift guide of the year is here – and it features 'perfect presents' for every type of person on our list


If you're already struggling with our gift shopping, it's time to turn to Reese Witherspoon's failsafe gift guide for help. The actress is the latest of several celebrities, including Gwyneth Paltrow and Oprah, to the products she recommends gifting this year – and, while it may seem cliche, there really is something for every type of person we may know.
The 'Hello Holidays' gift guide, which Reese Witherspoon helped to curate for her brand Hello Sunshine, is now live, and it's a celebration of 'gifts that Reese loves to give.' The brand promises 'perfect presents for everyone on [our] list,' spanning the best candles (designed by none other than Courteney Cox) and decor accessories that are perfect for any book lover (Reese does own a book club, after all).

H&G's picks from the Hello Sunshine gift guide
Reese's company created three separate gift guides for this holiday season, including one for Hello Sunshine and the Book Club specifically. Here are our favorite pieces that we're planning on gifting (we confess, some to ourselves) this year.
Inspired by extraordinary folkloric cross-stitch scenes, these napkins exhibit beautiful floral and fauna motifs embroidered onto white linens. They're an imaginative way to protect a surface from our favorite cocktails.
Like the warmth of a winter fire, Balsam Fireplace lures you in with intoxicating scents of fresh evergreen woods, warm juniper spice, and salted amber. It's also designed by Courteney Cox, in case we needed another reason to invest.
This charcuterie board comes party-ready, complete with 18 hand-selected artisan cheeses, meats, dried fruits, nuts, chocolates, and olives. And, when the food has gone, we are left with an acacia wooden board for future gatherings.
Described as a classic, perfect reading companion, this throw is as chic as it is cozy, and of course, it's the perfect companion to any book. We love how it will keep us warm over the holidays and serve as an accessory over spring and summertime.
From the book lover to the charcuterie board enthusiast, we can't go too far wrong with this Reese Witherspoon-inspired gifting. Now we just need to refine who gets what in time for the holidays.
