Happy holidays, friends! As you craft your own list and set about shopping for loved ones, I hope this assortment makes things a little bit more stylish and a lot more fun.
This tradition of ours has gotten bigger each year, so I’ve broken this gift guide into smaller parts. Each has a theme: Remembering Queen Elizabeth II or Royal Reads or (my fave!) Support the SMT Community featuring small business owners among us. You’ll also find my personal picks in there, too. Happy shopping!

Give the gift of nostalgia as we celebrate the storied life of the U.K.’s history-making monarch. There are a couple of her favorite fashions on here (I’m saving up for her signature black bag) along with style nods and tree trimming ideas.
The exact pieces worn by Catherine, the Princess of Wales, and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex. Trust me when I say there’s something super special about wearing (or carrying!) something with a royal connection. If you give one of these as a gift, make sure you note that in the card!
When it comes to Windsor favorites, we must talk about royal warrants. These goods are “granted as a mark of recognition to people or companies who have regularly supplied goods or services” to the most senior members of the royal household, according to the royal family’s website. Truly, a present fit for a queen (or king!).
Book recommendations for the royal reader of any age! Whether your kids have questions about the Queen or you can’t get enough royal content after binging The Crown, this list has something for everyone. Know a royal enthusiast? Gift them a paid subscription to this newsletter to stay up-to-date on all the royal happenings.
Cue me humming Julie Andrews! I have found some things I just adore this year. There are some classics in here (including my super flattering mid-rise Madewell jeans) as well as beauty staples (obsessed with that Sunday Riley serum) and, obviously, THE COAT.
Who doesn’t love a royal stocking stuffer? This fun assortment of souvenirs is filled with clever ways to wink at your interest in the Windsors, whether it’s taking your morning coffee in a Queen mug, jotting down your thoughts in a Diana journal, or heading for a stroll with your Paddington tote.
When I asked for your recommendations for my gift guides, I was so moved by the breadth of talent and expertise this community holds! THANK YOU to everyone who took the time to write. Below are 12 small businesses to shop this season.
