When it comes to gifting, I believe in choosing presents that feel a little bit like a hug — thoughtful, joyful, and full of heart. This season, I’ve curated a special collection just for you: Melissa the Merrier Holiday Gift Guide, a celebration of cozy comforts, beauty treats, heirloom-worthy style, delicious kitchen treasures, and the incredible creativity of women-owned small businesses. Get your free copy here.
Think of this as your holiday gifting concierge — helping you check off your list with ease, delight, and no last-minute panic. A Curated Collection for Joyful Giving!
Inside the guide, you’ll find five sections designed around the people we love to spoil most:
The Cozy Gifter
For the friend who lives for soft blankets, warm mugs, and quiet winter magic.
The Beauty Lover
For the one who always brings the glam — skincare, makeup, and a touch of sparkle.
The Grand Millennial
For lovers of timeless style, heirloom details, and all things charming and nostalgic.
Gifts for the Cook
Inspired by shared meals, vintage recipes, and that one person who makes every gathering feel like home.
Merry Makers
My favorite section is a spotlight on talented women entrepreneurs, because supporting their dreams is a gift in itself.
Each category was crafted with intention: items that are useful, beautiful, sentimental, and sure to make someone’s holiday extra merry.
Simple. Special. Stress-Free.
I’ve done the browsing, scrolling, and searching so you don’t have to. Each pick in this guide is something I genuinely love — and would be proud to give or receive. This season is too sweet to spend it overwhelmed by shopping carts.
Take your time, browse the graphics, make a list, and enjoy that wonderful feeling of finding just the right thing for the people who fill your life with joy.

To make gifting even easier, you can download your own free Melissa the Merrier Gift Guide — complete with clickable links to every item featured. Keep it on your phone, or use it as your personal shopping planner as you cozy up with a peppermint latte.
Here’s to a season filled with giving generously, shopping thoughtfully, and finding delight in every tiny ribbon-tied moment. Let’s make spirits bright, the Melissa way — merrier than ever.
Hospitality is in my DNA. I founded Home with a Twist, a daughter’s twist on her mother’s traditions, in memory of my mother to celebrate her life and the gifts she shared with me. Mother loved to celebrate life’s occasions – big and small.
