Hi there! Welcome to my last gift guide for the 2021 holiday season! I'm so excited you're here, especially since this is an extra special guide for my fellow Minnesotans. In previous years of my #mostlylisagiftguide series I've always hosted a unique giveaway on the last day, so I'm really happy that this year is no different! While this year is smaller than previous giveaways, it's still amazing as the winner will be able to create a lot of memories with what they win.
As I've said, I'm approaching this series now as something to do for fun and have no expectations on the reach this will have. If it reaches a small group of people, that's amazing! If it doesn't, that's still okay and I know that I'll have some loyal followers still participate. It's truly for those "you betcha's" of the Midwest. Keep reading for more information and I hope you enjoy this more budget-friendly guide, as all items are under $50!
Frosted Juniper Candle ($20-$30) | Ski Girl Boxed Set of 8 Cards ($20) | In the Spaces: Poems and Illustrations by Anna Lisabeth ($18) | Black Lives Matter 3" Button ($6) | Small Fall Variety Pack ($13) | STAY ON TRACK DESKTOP NOTEPAD ($28) | Adele - 30 2XLP ($37) | Snowman Projector ($20) | Ceramic Lit Tree Decorative Figurine Pink ($30) | Roses and Hearts Set of Two Glass Tumblers ($28) | UNICORN Nail Polish ($12) | Do One Thing Every Day That Makes You Happy: A Journal ($9) | Mask Duo ($32) | GARDEN PARTY ($6) | The Lord of the Rings Tengwar Script Cuff Beanie ($13) | Foiled Zodiac Constellations Yearly Calendar ($33) | Tickets to The Northern Express ($15-$20)
Since memorable gifts can still be affordable, these are some of my favorite finds that won't hurt your budget and are bound to still impress. Perhaps you have a Secret Santa exchange, (a retro pink Christmas tree would be so much fun), a skincare enthusiast, (a mask duo that will put your skin into a great mood), or for my Minnesotans who want to shop local and enjoy a new holiday experience (which leads into my giveaway)!
I've ✨proudly✨ partnered with a new immersive holiday experience that is coming to the Twin Cities - The Northern Express! Since this season is all about wonder, excitement, and the holiday spirit, I figured what better way than to give back.
So, what is The Northern Express?
The Northern Express is a multi-acre holiday escape where you’ll feel like you’ve escaped to the North Pole or jumped right into a Hallmark movie. The Northern Express will be a treasured family tradition where you can enjoy the magic of the holidays!
🎁Shop a market with 100 small businesses represented and 8 charitable partners
🎄Indulge in decadent treats from top notch neighborhood purveyors
❄️Grab drinks from one of the many bars
Now let's get into the giveaway! You have the ability to win TWO free tickets to the Excelsior location for the weekend of your choosing.

I have realized lately that I have a lot of people in my life who love to cook and know how to cook, so I thought for this next installment that I would focus on them. The cooks and foodies that you know and love, who go out of their way to make food taste excellent! The ones who make you feel spoiled every time you get to eat something they made. Gifting these talented people can be fun and challenging at the same time! There are so many options to choose from, you really have to look into who has the best knives or dishware since you'd be investing in them.
So if you've been looking for ideas in your own kitchen as well, please enjoy this gift guide, and let's get cookin'! 👩🏻🍳🍞🍳🥘
Baby Baggu | George & Viv Milk Bottle | Dagny Pie Dish | Finex Skillet | VÉNUS MON AMOUR - BOX OF 18 MACARONS | dark chocolate candy cane 51% | white raspberry popping candy 28% | Wüsthof Gourmet 3-Piece Starter Knife Set | Icon Lidded Soup Crock | Susannah Garrod 'Tis The Season Dessert Plate | mDesignt Metal Storage Box Bin with Hinged Lid | Thomas Kinkade A Christmas Wish Popcorn Tin | The Copper Hen Cookbook | Holiday Jewel™ 3-piece Serving Set
I wanted to showcase a unique selection of items that could be for anyone who wants to be a Masterchef in their own way! Since these items will also be investment pieces, I knew that budget didn't have to be too much of a problem. Whether it's high-quality chocolate with unique flavors, a cookbook straight from the kitchen of a Twin Cities restaurant, or festive plates for the upcoming holiday season - they will surely be a hit if you want to be a sous chef!

Gifting the he/hims and they/thems in your life can be pretty tricky - especially since you usually don't get a solid response on what they actually want. Finally being in a relationship though has opened my eyes to the subtle ways they can tell you what they like, without having to tell them to do anything! What do they like to do ALL the time? What interests them when they're searching the internet or when you're going shopping at Target with them? What a relief it is to have clear communication with a guy for the first time!
I do know that I tend to reference the same items every time I've done this guide in the past, but it's what works and it tends to always please! So please enjoy and let's get into my next guide - for the lads!
Plant Energy Shirt | Breville Bambino Espresso Machine | Market Smiley Patch Beanie | Mushroom Pour-Over Coffee Set| PUPPERS PLAID KOOZIE | Inverted Lighter | Best Buds Votive Candle Set | Konor Waterproof Chukka Boot | Harry Potter Collection - Hogwarts Express 3D Puzzle | BORDEAUX CORKSCREW | Flannel Pajama Set | Fenmore Midsize Multifunction Brown Leather Watch | Pinecone Cut Decanter, Green | Custom Vinyl Record Print | PIZZA SOCKS BOX
A new merch drop from my favorite streamer (Julen), pizza socks that I even want, and so many other tech/gadgets that will make his holiday super special! These will be perfect for stocking stuffers and for big spaces under the tree.

It's been so long, wow! When I first started the Mostly Lisa Holiday Gift Guide series, it was one of the best ideas I had come up with for this blog. It drove me to use my creativity, it urged me to regularly post because I was so proud of what I had made. Now? Now it's mostly inner feelings of everything I've made doesn't even matter in the long run, that it wouldn't get the attention I thought it deserved no matter how hard I've tried. It takes a lot of work, I'm talking hours and days for me to create all of this on my own. I know, I know, I decided to do this for my blog and that is a task I put upon myself, but still. Endless hours of searching and editing to make something that was a lot of fun in the beginning but has now turned into an ego game. That's not what I'm about, so I had to stop and I'm really glad I did.
The time passed has helped and it's brought a new perspective for me to look at. I'm going to approach this series not so seriously and just do it for fun again. If it gains nothing, if no one sees it - I'll be okay with that because I know that I put my heart into it. Maybe I'll be able to work with some small, local brands and have the ability to give something away because that's what the holidays are all about. So I've decided to try again, and here I am. ❤✨🎄
Let's start with the ladies!
Christmas Time In The City Dessert Plate | Capri Blue Ombre Faceted Glass Jar Candle | Eco dreamiest long-sleeve pajama set in constellation print | Celestial-embroidered velvet Mary Jane flats | Holiday Jigsaw Puzzle | Original Pink Hoodie | Satin Heatless Curling Set - Sunset Tie Dye | GALAXY NECKLACE | Hatch Restore Personalized Sleep Solution | New York Eau de Parfum Spray | Kraken Kitty Edition Black Chroma Wired Gaming Headset | The Muppet Christmas Carol - Vinyl Soundtrack | Maroon Patch Beanie | Spirited Away Lipstick | Hot Cocoa Kit | Obstinate Headstrong Girl Mug | Northwoods Candle | Grecian Bust Table Lamp

Because who doesn't buy Valentine's Day gifts until the last minute? At this point, I don't really know any other adult who doesn't procrastinate at finding something that their significant other, themselves or even a furry friend will truly love. I am ahead of the game this year as I will be buying something for myself AND something for my very first Valentine! 😍 That being said, I figured I would put together a few items that will be easy to pick up if you're really waiting until the last minute. Enjoy!
A heart-shaped vase that can stand perfectly on its own or be filled with your favorite flowers to create a stunningly sweet home decor piece!

Let's be honest, this year has not been "it" for absolutely anyone! The mood to celebrate anything this holiday season is very much out of my own frame of mind. I really just want to be able to survive and make sure everyone around me is doing okay for the rest of this year. I do feel kind-of gross putting together a gift guide right now, especially since money is going to be tight for so many people (THANKS GOVERNMENT) and there are many more important things to be saving for. That being said, I decided I wanted to do something that can hopefully help businesses that I've been following for awhile and essentially be the way of giving back. Maybe this can also put a smile on your face and give you something to look forward to in regards to the holidays. I always find joy in buying something special for a loved one.
This years Mostly Lisa Gift Guide is going to be all about shopping small, which is obviously extremely important every year, but just a little bit more so for 2020! So here is the only gift guide I'll be doing featuring 17 ideas from small businesses that I've had my eye on for awhile, shops that are local to MN, gifts in various price ranges and what's even more amazing? I'm pretty sure all of these are owned by women! Please do take the time to click each link (none of these are sponsored, I just think they're really neat) and take a look at their websites. I hope you can find something that will fit the people on your list, or something that may catch your own eye! Let me know what your favorite small shops are in the comments below. Love you all!
