It’s that time of the year again where we start bundling up in blankets, changing our latte order from pumpkin spice to peppermint, and thinking about our loved ones. Every year I put a gift guide together for the Clean My Space community, and this year I decided to make our biggest gift guide yet!
Whether you’re purchasing a gift for a cleaning enthusiast friend, a plant hoarder relative, an eco-conscious coworker, or a tech-loving hubby, we have it all in our gift guide this year! The theme for this gift guide is: buy once buy well, and environmentally conscious gifts. My goal is to help people make great, meaningful purchasing decisions. I want you to get your loved ones a gift that they will use and love and that will last them a long time.
So let me make your holiday shopping list a little easier, more eco-friendly, health-conscious, and responsible with great gifts the whole family will enjoy.
Gifts for the Cleaning Lover
These gifts are sure to wow even the neatest and most organized person you know. If you love Clean My Space, you might love these gifts!
The Maker’s Mop
This mop is perfect for that cleaning lover you know who likes their floors spotless and can’t stand spills or stains. With its 360° pivot head, the Maker’s Mop is specifically designed for power and versatility. This mop easily tackles the most stuck-on stains and messes in less time than a traditional mop because its unique curved shape allows the user to focus pressure on the Precision Edge. The Maker’s Mop bundle includes the mop, two Everyday Microfiber Mop Pads, and two Deep Cleaning Microfiber Mop Pads. This is literally the total package and a perfect gift for neat freaks everywhere.
Dyson V15
This fancy shmancy vacuum is the latest cordless Dyson. This gift is excellent for people who want to be on the cusp of Dyson’s most cutting edge technology. It includes a laser to detect all dust and dirt that may not be visible otherwise, making sure nothing gets left behind. And this vacuum actually listens to how much dirt it’s sucking up, and adjusts its power up or down depending on how much dirt it hears. This helps conserve batteries efficiently, and is great for fans of cleaning, technology, and environmentalism.
Sorbus Cosmetic Makeup and Jewelry Storage Case Display
This is the dream solution for anyone who has a lot of makeup and jewelry. It has seven different-sized drawers and 16 slots, so it can fit even an avid makeup or jewelry collector’s items. Plus, it’s see-through, so it’s not just for storage it’s also for display. This is a lovely addition to the home organization and aesthetics of anyone with makeup or jewelry clutter.

There’s all kinds of cute and useful gifts that new couples and new households need. Here are my picks for the lovebirds on your holiday gift list.

Bonus points because it can be packed away easily for travel. I’ve had this steamer for years, and I can promise you I love it!
Waffle Weave Bathrobe
There’s nothing cozier than a bathrobe, and there’s nothing cuter than matching couples’ bathrobes. And these aren’t just ordinary bathrobes! These are the Maker’s Clean Waffle Weave Luxury Bathrobes. We took our famous waffle weave fabric and made its three-dimensional pocket even bigger, allowing for faster drying and unmatched softness without the weight of a typical bathrobe—the perfect gift for any new couple to cozy up in over the holidays and beyond.
More gifts for the new couple on your list…
Dyson Omni-Glide: One of the newest vacuums at Dyson right now, the Omni-Glide is great for the couple who needs an in-between vacuum. You can pull this one out for smaller tasks, and the omni-glide head goes in multiple directions and goes completely flat for all those hard-to-reach areas.
Salt Holder: This is a great gift for a couple who likes to cook, because it’s an item they probably won’t buy for themselves but that they will use and appreciate.
Three Tier Salt Holder: For the couple who really loves cooking, gift them a salt holder that can hold their flaky sea salt, black salt, and kosher salt all at once! This can also be used for spices.
Bamboo Drawer Organizer: Everyone has a cutlery drawer, but it’s often made of cheap plastic and doesn’t quite fit properly. This drawer organizer is made from eco-friendly bamboo, and it’s adjustable, making it the perfect fit literally and figuratively.

Gifts for the On-Campus Student
Living on-campus is an exciting time, and it’s even better when you have the right items for your dorm room. Check out my top gifts that are fun and useful for on-campus students.
Valala Floor Mirror
There’s no better way to check your outfits and post the perfect Instagram selfie than a full-sized mirror. And this mirror gets bonus points for dorm living because it also functions as a clothing rack with a built-in accessory tray, and it can be used as a room divider. Basically, there’s nothing this mirror can’t do except your laundry.
Bean Bag Chair
This bean bag chair is a fun and funky addition to any dorm room. We know on-campus students have little to no seating in their room, so a bean bag chair in the corner is great for lounging around and having guests over. Plus, this chair is excellent if the on-campus student on your gift list is a gamer.
Retractable Clothesline
This is one of those neat gifts that’s sure to be used. For the person who doesn’t like to use a dryer on all their clothes but doesn’t have the space for a bulky clothes rack, this retractable clothesline is the perfect thing.

Purifying Desk Fan: This small air purifier from Dyson also acts as a fan, so it will keep your on-campus student cool as it cleans the air.
Space Heater: Dorm rooms are always too hot or too cold. Help your on-campus student feel just right with this oil-filled portable radiator.
Portable Garment Steamer: This small steamer is the ideal size for a dorm, and it can steam and iron out wrinkles, making it great for students who probably aren’t neatly storing their clothes.
Gifts for Kids
Kids probably make up the bulk of our holiday gift lists, so it’s important to be armed with an arsenal of great gift ideas for children. These are my favorites of the year.
Mini Pet 3D Puzzle
Is it a puzzle? Is it a toy dog? It’s both! This amazing 3d puzzle is for children 14 and over, and comes with a whopping 2100 pieces. And once they finish putting it together, it becomes a mini dachshund. Great for teens looking for a challenge.

It might seem crazy, but this cleaning toy is a big hit with my daughter and her friends. These colorful and realistic cleaning toys inspire hours of pretend cleaning and play. Plus it’s a great way to get kids thinking about cleaning.

This fantastic invention is great for any budding musician. Easily roll this flexible silicone piano out for playtime, and back up for clean up. With 49 keys, multiple keyboard song programs, and even demo songs it’s basically an electric keyboard for kids! And the Roll Up Piano won the top toy of the year award.

This is a cool gift idea for someone who loves having a warm beverage and nurses it throughout the day. The Ember Mug is temperature controlled, so it keeps any warm beverage at the desired temperature all day long. This is an item most people wouldn’t buy for themselves, but would appreciate and use.

Food Saver: This amazing item vacuum seals food to save and store for later. This is a really convenient tool for families who batch cook or shop in bulk.
Gifts for Plant Lovers
You can’t go wrong gifting a plant lover something useful for their plants. But you don’t want to gift something they already have. These are my unique choices for plant lovers.
This amazing watering can was designed by an engineer. It includes a chopstick for easy soil aeration, which is key to effective watering. And it makes a gurgling sound when your pot is almost out of water, so you know exactly when to refill it. Plus, it’s lovely on a plant shelf.
Heavy-Duty Plant Stand
Plant lovers usually have at least one big plant they’re really proud of. But that plant is often sitting on the floor because it’s hard to find large plant stands. This plant stand is great for very large plants. It’s well balanced, very durable, and can support a really heavy pot with a really heavy plant. And the wheels make it easy to move when needed.
Blooming Table
Blooming tables are quickly becoming popular as a beautiful way for people who love succulents to enjoy them and have a functional furniture piece. They are certainly conversation starters, and it’s unlikely your plant-loving friend will have one.
