2023 Holiday Gift Guides

It’s that time of year again!

Before I go any further, let me first say this… If you don’t have the money for it if you’re only buying it to “keep up,” or if you plan to purchase something largely because of some sort of pressure or fomo from the outside…DON’T BUY IT!

I’m not in it to promote consumerism. At the same time, I know many of you will be looking for gifts and gift ideas. I’ve already had people reach out asking for health-related and beyond purchase ideas. With that in mind, I want to share with my community some ideas for what I think could make useful, thoughtful, meaningful or just plain fun gifts!

Food Lover/ Cook

• Breville Milk Cafe Electric Frother – Y’all have seen me on social use this every single day to make my matcha. You can make any latte, cappuccino, or just upgrade the creamer in your coffee.  
• Thrive Market Membership – Healthy food membership store for all of my favorite pantry (and now frozen!) food needs. Discounted prices and free shipping straight to your door. 
• Almond Cow – Quit the overpriced (and gum, sugar, and additive-laden!) store-bought nut milks. Make your own higher quality and lesser priced with the push of a button. 
• Kasandrinos – All time favorite olive oil ever. 
• Vitamix – The hype over Vitamix is merited. This workhorse appliance makes the best smoothies, nut butter, soups, hummus, and more.

• Immersion blender – If you make soups, you absolutely need this.

• Cast Iron Always Pan – I recently tried the cast iron Always Pan and I love it so much! It’s more durable than the ceramic one, but it has the same superior features. 
• InstaPot – If you haven’t hopped on the InstaPot train, now is the time. Tender meats in minutes, perfectly done rice, slow cooker, saute, and more! This is my meal prep hero. 
• Dry Farm Wines – Wine that doesn’t leave you feeling icky because of organic farming practices and such low sugar content. 
• Skout Subscription – My boys and I are obsessed. Simple ingredients. Real food. These are our favorite bars on the market. Use code TAYLORDUKES.

• Xtrema – Non-toxic heirloom-quality cookware for the health-conscious home cook. Use code TAYLORDUKES.
• DD Side Dish – One of the very few store-bought salad dressings I can get excited about. I’ve tried every one, and you better not make me choose my fave – so good! 
• Defined Dish Cookbook – Can you tell I’m a fan of Alex from The Defined Dish?! The Comfortable Kitchen and The Defined Dish cookbooks are my go-to’s, and I cannot wait to get my hands on her soon-to-be-released Dinner Tonight! 
• Glass Mugs – Nothing makes me happier than drinking a frothy green matcha from these glass mugs. They’re so cute!

It helps to reduce inflammation, aid in lymphatic drainage, diminish headaches, and improve mental clarity and the body’s pH. To order, please call or email KellyAnn (kandrews@platinumenergysystems.ca, 877-225-3388) and you can tell her Taylor dukes sent you, and she will take great care of you.

For the Men

• Meal Subscription Service – Paleo on the Go or SunBasket are the two I’d go for. 
• A Night Away – Sometimes just planning it for the other person is the best gift of all. Take the decisions off their plate and simply let them show up.  
• Sessions with a Coach or Counselor – Maybe the loudest way to say “I care.”
• Tickets to a Conference or Workshop (Marriage, Health, Business, Etc.) – You could do an individual ticket or go together. This is the gift for someone who loves learning!
