Hey y’all-today I’m back with my final 2020 holiday gift guide! Today’s theme is Favorite Things 2020 Gift Guide. Similar to how Oprah presents “Oprah’s Favorite Things” each year, so I thought I would do a gift guide featuring my favorite things. This gift guide consists entirely of items I own and love. Some of these items have been in other gift guides this holiday season, but a lot of these things didn’t fit into any of the categories of gift guides I’ve shared already this year. I didn’t necessarily purchase everything in this guide during 2020. In fact, many of these featured items are things I’ve owned for years. There’s a variety of price points in this gift guide. However, the pricier items are things that stand the test of time that your recipient will enjoy for years to come! Without further ado, here’s Liz’s Favorite Things 2020 Gift Guide!

Liz’s Favorite Things 2020 Gift Guide at a Glance
Liz’s Favorite Things 2020 Gift Guide Details
LL Bean Boots
I have two different pairs of LL Bean’s iconic Bean Boots. These are totally worth the investment, and a staple for cold or wet days during the fall and winter. Check out this post if you need help determining which LL Bean Boots are the best for you, and please feel free to email me if you have any questions. Note that you can save 15% on Bean Boots through December 1 with code THANKS15.
Vera Bradley Large Duffel Bag
You can’t go wrong with a classic Vera Bradley large duffel bag for your travel needs. I still have a Vera Bradley duffel bag I got for my high school graduation over 17 years ago! However, my Clemson Vera Bradley duffel bag I bought this fall is a bit larger and has more pockets for organization than the one I got in high school. The Vera Bradley large duffel bag is available in multiple collegiate prints as well as their standard prints. Also, Vera Bradley full-priced items are 30% off during Black Friday weekend.
Vera Bradley Disney Vera Tote
I absolutely love my Vera Bradley Vera Tote in the Mickey’s Sweet Treats print that they gifted me as part of a collaboration earlier this year. Vera Bradley typically only makes their Disney prints available in the Disney Springs retail store, but they have made an exception this year because of the pandemic. The Vera Tote is a great size and has multiple interior and exterior pockets for organizing your stuff. shopDisney has the Vera Tote available online in the Mickey’s Colorful Garden print, and it’s on my wish list! Although the Disney collection is excluded from Vera Bradley sales, it’s totally worth full price for a Disney fan. And if Disney isn’t your thing, you can still grab a Vera Tote in one of the regular prints.
Tory Burch Logo Studs
I adore these classic Tory Burch logo studs, so much so that I own them in both gold and rose gold. Due to working from home and limited outings, I’ve really only worn stud earrings since late March. Therefore, my beloved Tory Burch logo studs have gotten even more wear in 2020. Anyone who loves Tory Burch should add these earrings to their jewelry collection.
Kendra Scott Elisa Pendant

It’s hard for me to believe that less than three years I didn’t own a single piece of Kendra Scott jewelry. The purchase of an Elisa Pendant with my 50% birthday discount got me hooked on Kendra, and I now own multiple pieces, including three different Elisa Pendants! The ivory mother-of-pearl Elisa was the first one I got, and I recommend it because the color literally matches everything. Also, I love how versatile the Elisa style is. I wear my Elisas with t-shirts while lounging around my apartment, and with a shift dress to a wedding. Note that Kendra Scott is 30% off during Cyber Weekend 2020.
Kendra Scott Ari Heart Pendant
This year I bought the Kendra Scott Ari Heart Pendant in pink druzy with my birthday discount, and it quickly became one of my favorite Kendra pieces.
Kendra Scott Elaina Bracelet
I originally bought the Kendra Scott Elaina bracelet two years ago, and wore it all the time. At some point this year, it went MIA. I love it so much that I had to buy a new one. It’s dainty and literally goes with everything.
Kendra Scott Ellie Studs
I’ve had my Kendra Scott Ellie Studs for over two years, but they’ve gotten extra wear this year as I’ve opted for studs over statement earrings. The ivory mother-of-pearl Ellie studs would make a great gift because they go with any outfit-dressy or casual.
Tory Burch Minnie Flats

I own multiple pairs of classic Tory Burch ballet flats. Mine are actually the Reva style, which is discontinued. However, the currently available Tory Burch Minnie flats look identical, and are supposed to be more comfortable. The reason I don’t have a pair of Tory Burch Minnie flats is that my Revas have lasted for years, and I’m not spending the money to replace them until I absolutely have to. I will say that Tory Burch flats are worth every penny, because they are a classic style and last forever. And during Cyber Weekend 2020 you can save 30% of any Tory Burch purchase of $250 or more. Select Minnie flats are included in this sale.
Tory Burch Handbag

A Tory Burch Handbag is another splurge gift or personal purchase that is completely worth the money. I recommend a classic neutral color leather tote, shoulder bag, or satchel that you can carry as a daily bag with any outfit. All of my Tory Burch bags are high quality and still in excellent condition years later. Almost all Tory Burch bags are included in the Tory Burch Black Friday weekend 30% off sale.
Anthropologie Initial Necklace

I featured my Anthropologie Initial Necklace in my Under $50 Gift Guide, but I have to mention it again here because it’s that great! Anyone will love this necklace!
Lilly Pulitzer Fleece Blanket
A fleece blanket is always a good gift idea, and I especially love the cheerful prints of Lilly Pulitzer fleece blankets, also featured in my Cozy Gift Guide.
Lilly Pulitzer Scarf

A Lilly Pulitzer Scarf is one of my closet staples during the fall and winter months, and a favorite way to wear Lilly when it’s no longer shorts and sundress weather. (Check out this post for more fall and winter Lilly Pulitzer outfit inspiration.) A Lilly scarf would make a wonderful gift this year!
Lilly Pulitzer Pajama Pants
If you’ve been following me on Instagram, you know how obsessed I am with Lilly Pulitzer pajama pants for loungewear. The Lilly Breast Cancer Awareness print pajama pants I’m wearing in this picture are sold out in most sizes, but Lilly just released another print in pajamas, Lilly’s Favorite Things, that I’m absolutely obsessed with. I also love the Lilly Pulitzer pajama set of ruffle pj shorts and long-sleeved button up top for sleeping.
Jack Rogers Sandals
Jack Rogers sandals are a quintessential preppy staple for the warmer months. They pair perfectly with Lilly Pulitzer shorts, skorts, and sundresses.
Lilly Pulitzer Luxletic Skort
I’ve also been all about the Lilly Pulitzer Luxletic Skort during the extra time I’ve spent in loungewear. I currently have three Lilly Luxletic skorts, and hope to add more to my collection. This gift idea is definitely a winner.
Lilly Pulitzer Coffee Table Book
Normally I wouldn’t pay this much for a coffee table book, but the Lilly Pulitzer Assouline Coffee Table book is absolutely gorgeous. In my opinion, it’s a must-have collector’s item for any Lilly lover.
Tory Burch Miller Sandals

Tory Burch Miller sandals are probably my favorite warm weather shoe. They are so incredibly comfortable. Plus, they stand the test of time and are therefore worth the price. A few Tory Burch Miller sandals are part of the 30% off during the Tory Burch Holiday Event Cyber Weekend sale.
Beautycounter Citrus Mimosa Body Wash
If I included every clean beauty product I love, this gift guide would be way too long. So, I’m including one universally appealing clean beauty product that I use regularly: Beautycounter Citrus Mimosa Body Wash. This has a delight scent, minus the harmful ingredients typically found in synthetic fragrance. Anyone will love this body wash, regardless of skin tone or skin type. Beautycounter Citrus Mimosa Body Wash is the perfect self care gift, and it’s 15% off through November 29. For more clean beauty gift ideas, check out this gift guide.
