Whether you’re looking for a thoughtful gift that won’t break the bank or you want to go all out on something special, this influencer-approved list has the thing for you. Those who have earned a spot on Grace Atwood’s holiday gifting list are very lucky. As the founder of women’s lifestyle site The Stripe and co-host of podcast Bad on Paper, Grace is an expert in all things lifestyle. For the rest of us, she’s compiled a list of her favorite things.

“These are the best, tried and true purchases that you’re guaranteed to absolutely love,” Grace tells Yahoo Lifestyle. “These are vetted, amazing things that are for everyone. There’s a $17 ice roller and $160 coffee maker.”

When it comes to gift giving, Grace says there isn’t a formula. But you might be surprised to find that the gifts on this list feel very personal. “Maybe you have someone who’s really stressed out, so get them something relaxing,” says Grace. “Maybe you have a friend who loves to travel. Think about their interests. I don’t think it’s good to take a one-size-fits-all approach to gift giving.”

“I’m so happy with everything on this list,” Grace says. “I spent a lot of time on it.” Scroll for all of Grace’s best picks, plus why she loves many of them.

Vanity Planet Revive Professional Face & Body Ice Roller

Why she chose it: “This is something that I think everyone should have. As I’ve gotten older — I’m 38 now — my face just does not wake up as quickly as it once did, and this will iron out any puffiness, pillow creases, or fine lines. If you use it at your jawline it will shave off all that bloat around your face and define your jawline. This is just a $17 wonderful item that I really think everyone should own.”

Augustinus Bader, ‘The Rich Cream’

Why she chose it: “This is the best face cream I’ve ever tried in my life. I swear by it. I have a full size, I have a travel size, I will not go anywhere without it.”

Leachco Back 'N Belly Bliss Pregnancy/Maternity Body Pillow

Why she chose it: “I didn’t include this for someone who’s pregnant. It’s for somebody who likes to read or who has a bad back. It’s absolutely amazing for curling up. My massage therapist told me to get one. You’ll never sleep better than with a pregnancy pillow. This is for men, women, anyone. I told all my best friends to buy the pregnancy pillow and we all just rave about it. It’s such a game changer. I feel like I’ve gone crazy raving about it, but it will change your life.”

Nespresso Vertuo Coffee and Espresso Maker

Why she chose it: “This coffee maker makes a coffee shop quality coffee in a minute. And it’s also great if you’re single, because I don’t want to brew a full cup of coffee every morning. It makes one beautiful cup of coffee.”

Dyson Cyclone V10 Animal Lightweight Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner

Why she chose it: “I never was one of those people who really cared about high end cleaning items. I got this vacuum and it changed my life. I’m a pet owner and I’m getting one for my parents this year because they also have a pet. It just makes cleaning up so much easier, especially during the holidays when you’re entertaining a lot and making a mess. I can vacuum every day and it makes it really easy. I really feel like a loser saying how much I love it, but I just love it so much.”
