The 2025 Empty Nest Blessed Holiday Gift Guide

I am beyond excited to present the 2025 Empty Nest Blessed Holiday Gift Guide! It’s such a labor of love for me to put this together because I believe that a well-selected gift is a tangible way to show our precious ones how much we love them. Thank you for letting me help you do that!

It’s a responsibility that I take very seriously. I shop for my loved ones from this gift guide, so I only include items I would give to them. (Or, let’s be real, something I want one of my loved ones to get for me!)

This holiday season, you’ll see lots of holiday gift guides out there, but I don’t think there will be others customized just for empty nesters like ours! Being empty nest blessed means you may be a part of the sandwich generation—you have young adult kids; you may have senior adult parents; and, if you’re really blessed, you have grandkids as well! My gift guide will give you ideas for those groups and more.

Why Shop the Empty Nest Blessed Holiday Gift Guide?

Well, first of all, because I’m an empty nester, just like you! I’ve got senior adult parents I love, and my kids range in age from 29-34. I’ve been married to my husband for 38 years, and I’ve got two daughters-in-law and two grandbabies!

Once October hits, my whole family gets in on gift-guide prep, sending me texts with gift ideas almost every day! My empty nester assistant Beth’s family does the same thing! 😉 Our little “team” keeps us up-to-date on all the latest and greatest finds (which is very good news for you!).

If all that didn’t convince you to shop the Empty Nest Blessed Holiday Gift Guide, maybe this will: One of my primary love languages is gift-giving, and I’m actually one of those crazy people who shop for the holidays all year long. (So embarrassing!🫣) I’ve personally curated all of the ideas in the Empty Nest Blessed Holiday Gift Guide for months—just for YOU!

We used to go big with our holiday gift guide — over a thousand gifts in ten categories! 🎁 But this year, we’re doing things differently. We’ve pulled back to focus on quality over quantity, curating a collection that’s more thoughtful, personal, and full of thoughtful ideas. Inside, you’ll find unique (and a few whimsical!) ideas that we truly believe you’ll love giving — and maybe even getting! 😉

How to Shop the Empty Nest Blessed Holiday Gift Guide

Each and every category is probably worth your browsing time! I don’t want you to miss any gems! I’m telling you, there are several gifts I want in the Gifts for Young Adults category, like these Relaxed Cargo Pants from Lululemon and this cute Jelly Tote Bag! The Telestrations game I want to get for our family this year also made its way into the Gifts for Young Adults category!

PRO TIP: If you’re shopping for friends, your prayer group, hairstylist, manicurist, personal trainer, or anyone else who makes your life a little brighter, shop in the Gifts for Hosts & Hostesses, Stocking Stuffers, or Gifts Under $30 categories. 🎁 (The Gifts Under $30 section is new this year, BTW — it’s filled with thoughtful, budget-friendly finds that are sure to make them smile!)

Use the links below to view each category. I hope you’ll find perfect gifts for all of your precious ones! I’d love to be a resource for you, so if there’s anything specific that you’re looking for and you don’t see, don’t hesitate to get in touch with me. I’d love to help you!

When to Shop the Empty Nest Blessed Holiday Gift Guide

I’m launching my holiday gift guide today to help you get a jump on your holiday shopping. If you aren’t ready for holiday shopping yet, that’s fine! (Let’s be real; we’ve got another big holiday 🦃 coming along before we give our full attention to Christmas! Right?)

You can access the Empty Nest Blessed Holiday Gift Guide anytime throughout the season via the navigation bar at the top of the website (on your desktop, laptop, or tablet). If you’re browsing on your phone, just tap the Holiday Gift Guide banner at the top of the home page, then click on the guide you want to shop. It’s so easy to find exactly what you need! 🎁

We’ll add to the Empty Nest Blessed Holiday Gift Guide as new things pop on our radar in the coming weeks, so check back frequently! We’ll also be sharing posts here and on Instagram and Facebook throughout November and December that will give you more ideas for gifts, as well as relationship advice, tips, and some of my personal holiday hacks. Be sure you’re following me there!

For optimal viewing, I recommend viewing the Holiday Gift Guide on either a laptop or tablet. It can be hard to see all the details of each item on a phone! If you see something you like, definitely click through to check out color options, current sale prices, and any special discounts.

My Hope for the Empty Nest Blessed Holiday Gift Guide

Running around from store to store probably isn’t the best way to get into the holiday spirit. It’s time-inefficient, and you can overspend on impulse purchases! (Or maybe that’s just me 😄!) Our hope is that the ENB Holiday Gift Guide will help you shop online from the comfort of your home at a time that’s convenient for you! 

As empty nesters, you have so much to do during the holiday season, and I want to help you make the next two months peaceful and joyful for you and your family. The idea is that this gift guide will allow you to spend less time running around and more time focusing on the true meaning of the season and the relationships that mean the most to you.

Thank you for being an ENB subscriber and for shopping with my links! When you do that, it never costs you any extra, and it’s the way I get paid (and pay my team)! Shopping with Empty Nest Blessed lets me continue to do this job I love, and I am so grateful!

Early access to this gift guide is one way to show you how grateful I am for you!

May your Empty Nest be Blessed this holiday season!
