My Sober Vibes Holiday Gift Guide: 25 Things I Actually Own and Love

By Courtney Andersen  ·  Sober Vibes  ·  5 min read

Every year I get asked what I actually use and love. So this year I put it all in one place. No random recommendations. No things I have never touched. Every single item in this guide is something I personally own.

I am sharing a few favorites from each category right here. But the full guide — all 25 picks, every shop link, gift set pairings, and discount codes is free to download below. Worth grabbing if you are doing any holiday shopping this season.

The Reading Corner

Quit lit is one of the best gifts you can give someone in early sobriety. My full reading list and a curated Quit Lit collection are linked in the full guide.
